Definitely a comparison between these 2 and the Monarch MKII (not III) would be helpful. Thanks for the video!

I haven't used the Mirai, but I have both the Glacier and the Monarch 3. The Monarch 3 can largely be described as "Neutral and laid-back" Glacier, in comparison, is more about "Presence and engagement" -It has very punchy bass. It manages to match the slam of the CA Trifecta while staying very clean and not feeling bloated -Strong treble presence, without feeling grating -The cable is just flat-out better. I don't like the Monarch 3 cable because the cable falls out of the tips very easy and I'm scared of the strands separating and getting caught on something. -The stem doesn't feel anywhere near as large (too lazy to double check the sizes myself) The only downsides to the Glacier cable is its MMCX, and it's white cloth and will probably not stay that nice after a year or two. It is very beautiful though. I also recommend against using the S&S tips and using the provided Candy tips because they keep all the beautiful presence Overall, I think the Glacier is a strong contender for an "End-game" IEM.

Thank you for covering these and giving your honest ratings man. You're saving a lot of folks who realistically can afford only one end game tier iem. 👍

Timmy, from experience, I think the presence region and the resulting timbre-issue you mentioned on the Glacier should be, theoretically, fixable with tips. I've discovered that the standard tips of the Monarch Mk III make it sound a little over-driven (electric guitars will have a bite), whereas the Softears UC tips relax that area, and the Moondrop Spring tips open up and smooth the treble, turning the new Monarch into such a mellow, sweet sounding set overall (Studio4-like) -- in my ears, at least. So I wouldn't be surprised if the same is possible on the Glacier. Pity that Dunu seems to have abandoned wide-bored tips in favor of their new-gen Candy and S&S tips, both of which usually downshift energy to the upper mids/lower treble, rendering the achievement of a good sound an additional investment for the customer (though there's the case to be made that they are designed around/with these tips in mind, yet...). Did you have some time to experiment with tips or you had to send the sets back before you could dive into it?

Best to describe the glacier is that you can't have all the good things at once in one iem. Rumbling bass, forward vocal, sparkling treble, if you add everything to one iem, it sounds weird.

Could you please compare them to the IE600 and compare their detail levels? Maybe also with percentage counting in the Anole VX too (f.e. 600 - 70%, Mirai 80%, VX 100%) on a relative scale of course. Thank you very much in advance Timmy :)

I just have to say for the price I truly think the Dunu Mirai, is the WORST IEM I have ever owned. I hate that thing and the money I lost trying it, cheap junk! feel and not worth $75 too me!!!
@damtran9937 ай бұрын
indeed, if you put the Mirai next to the Simgot EA1000 then ask me which is the more expensive one, with me not knowing anything beforehand regarding price, I would immediately think that the EA1000 is a more high-class IEM, just from the looks alone. The build of the Mirai is really unacceptable for st at that kilobuck price. And the sound also doesn't fare that much better unfortunately, in my local audio hangout, we try out the Mirai and it definitely not as neutral as Timmy here seems to suggest, the Mirai has this very sharp & fatique-inducing feature when u listen to it for long enough time, probably due to all the weird peaks in the treble. In short, this iem's definitely not a blind-buy just because it has the name Precogvision associated with it. For that price, I would choose the mmk2/mmk3 or spending up a bit to grab the Gaea/Glacier/Prestige Ltd.

Nah, the $500 spot is in a poorer value proposition right now, but the $1000 offers better. The difference between a variation and a monarch mk3 is night and day. It's worth it to skip that price bracket entirely.

Jays audio did a blind test with 2 non audiophiles, and the conclusions were that the $1000 set was so much better than the $300, that it was better value. The $1k category offers good value in the current market.
