Can you do a follow up video with comparisons to other IEMs?

[@roguegorilla8981]

Im wanting a recommendation around the $600 mark. I bought the dma because of you and fucking love them. Your review of these sounds about what i like though. I like a nice bass and even mid range.

[@enovasia]

Mine have been on the way from Shenzen Audio for a week now, should be arriving soon ❤🎉

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

You're gonna love em!

[@didgineil]

Wow I’ve never herd such a review with all the products features being so impressive. I’m really exited to try these, don’t tink I could ever afford it though 😄 a beautiful review, it’s so nice to watch this review hitting every mark, lighting in a bottle, beautiful

[@philipm.4738]

Really appreciate this review ( and all your reviews!). I especially appreciate that you review both this type of higher end product and a lot of the budget stuff , where my purchasing life lives 😊 And you give your all to all of them. You have a very scholarly vocabulary and use it very well! All in all, you are a terrific reviewer and I always enjoy watching your videos. These are obviously a very special pair of IEMs and your love of them is clear and genuine. Very well done!

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Thank you!

[@Johnmoe_]

Thanks for the review! Got the Raptgo Bridge based on your recommendation and I loved those, so going to try these out 🔥 I was looking for a higher-end set anyway Dusk, DaVinci, Aurora, etc.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Nice! The Bridge is underrated for sure. Hope you enjoy the Volare.

[@GawainDragon]

Best timing ever! I have been thinking about this iem

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I seriously love it!

[@marksr12]

Nice review. So far the most I have spent on a set is the P5's. Looking to upgrade ...Hmmm! Thanks for the review.

[@zenboy2000]

Lightning in a bottle, one of your favorite iem's of all time across all price ranges, wow, those are some glowing remarks. I think its a beautiful iem and I don't have a set with BA's or EST's, based on your description of the sound signature Its very tempting.

[@endorphinADMIN]

"outstanding" IS in fact 1 word! great review, thank you for this one!

[@RocketLauncherwithInfiniteAmmo]

These are a set which had not been on my radar at all, but after watching this, they have been catapulted into being a prime candidate. More investigation is about to commence. Good one mate.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

So good!

[@demondjackson2875]

Jeez…now I need to buy these!!!! You got me excited….

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I was just saying! 😇

[@CovertOperative]

David - strongly considering this for purchasing. My preference is for vocals and instruments to sit further back in the mix to eliminate shout, fatigue and intimate claustrophobia. 1. Where is the positioning? 2. Any loss pf cohesion and introduction of distortion at high volumes? Cheers.

[@vyyyy9103]

These look really interesting, would be nice to get a comparison with the xenns top and hype 4

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I don't have xenns top but it's better than Hype 4.

[@BassDad8]

Great review!!! Do you have a take on the $670 4BA Plunge Audio Unity? Just curious. If not, no worries 😎

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I hadn't heard of it, to be honest!

[@BassDad8]

@@PrimeAudioReviews oh boy. I’m sure you will. Bit of a kerfluffle over it on the audiophile socials. lol. Probably not worth your time. I was just curious. Cheers!

[@short_music_official.]

Hi excellent review as always I'm trying to find which tws or headphones or iems i don't really I just need quality I've tried OnePlus buds 3 and kz vxs and many more The sound stage isn't enough Oneplus buds 3 are just horrible the treble is very harsh and the bass punchy but without enough quality The mids are non-present Kz vxs are pretty fine until I go genres like rock and metal i find the treble to be a little harsh The sound stage almost non-existent The base is pretty bad And the quality just isn't enough I'm trying to find good headphones or tws or iems for under 100$ do you have any recommendation? Thank you and I hope I'm not bothering you with that longer for comment but I'm just really trying to find something good for so long and for now I'm wasting my money

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I'd say check the Simgot EA500LM or Kefine Delci.

[@short_music_official.]

@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you very much! and if I want tws or headphones what do you recommendations I just now noticed that iems are not very comfortable outside

[@Greg.Siucrazyforaudio2016]

Hi PA Thanks for this review this is another iem set i'm interested in , how does it compare to the Mega5EST l guess the IO Audio is better base on this video review ! I'm looking for a better body of note weight and good texture who win ? watched The Headphone Show , Resolve mentioned the mid is very slightly lean to his liking !

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I've never heard the Mega5EST.

[@Greg.Siucrazyforaudio2016]

​@@PrimeAudioReviews oh my confusion.i watched all the reviews on Hisenior Mega5est ,I have mixed up sorry , do you find the Volare sound slightly thin in the mids , compare to some other higher end IEMs ?

[@massivemikeh]

We really need this review. Your reviews are the best!

[@kawaiikoto8800]

I wonder if these are worth it coming from older TOTL like jh layla and EE Zeus. I have been wanting to add tribrid to collection for quite some time.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I only have the EE Bravado customs. I'd say Volare outperforms them but don't know about Zeus.

[@jamesberryman9893]

This seems like an extremely interesting and amazing set of IEM's. 600.00 is a lot but for people like me that buy more of the "budget" range IEM, just don't buy 5-10 pairs of different budget IEM's and save up for these and the Dunu DaVinci when they release. That's what I'm going to do. I can spend 600 but I get those crazy looks from wife 😜 😆 therefore save up 😆 amazing review!

[@Rsalmond83]

You tell your wife the real price😅

[@jamesberryman9893]

@Rsalmond83 Well yeah, shared bank accounts 😆 no use in lying it just leads to problems. 👌

[@graelstream2353]

Hello, im looking to get into IEMs and they are on sale on our country. What entry to mid budget IEM would you recommend for immersive gaming?

[@Hijynx87]

Simgot em6l if you can afford $100-110. That would be more so for competitive gaming though. For $20 you could get the qkz x hbb or the kz castor bass (black), those would be nice for immersive gaming on a budget. I think the qkz x hbb would work better as it’s a warmer more enveloping iem, but also has good imaging and stage. If you can afford $250 I’d say Ziigaat Doscinco easily.

[@graelstream2353]

@@Hijynx87 the qkz ones are more available oddly here in the southeast Asia sir. I was watching alot of vids but mostly states fps gaming which I sadly do not belong to haha. There were some advices like the tangzu waner and the linsoul kz ks10 pro x and pro 2 but no definite answer atm. The Crinacle zero red looks good too and is on sale..

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Simgot EW200, KZ ZS10 Pro 2 and ZiiGaat Nuo are good budget options.

[@Hijynx87]

I’ve been eyeing these up, but I just got the hype 4 and sliivo sl41 lol….and a doscinco before those.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I enjoyed Doscino too!

[@radiofreealbemuth]

I've heard only good things about Volare. I'm curious how they sound on your SU9 Ultra, Topping L70, Fiio Q15. Apparently they're good at detecting hissing/noise floor

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Tbh, they're not that sensitive. Even on my iFi ZEN Air DAC, which is a $99 unit and a bit noisy I don't hear any background noise.

[@radiofreealbemuth]

@@PrimeAudioReviews ah, that's very surprising. the Volare is considered sensitive, because it's 4.8 ohms. i've heard that generally speaking, the higher the ohms, the lower the noise floor.

[@rafdes]

These look huge. Are they bigger than the Mest? That's the chonkiest IEM I have to compare with.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I'm not sure, I haven't tried the mest!

[@ic2433]

Pula PA02 should be reviewed.

[@k.w5804]

Their QC should be reviewed. The IEM itself is good enough for its asking price. But holy, mine developed slight rattling noise in the left after less than 2 wk of use. Sending them back atm.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

You mean PA02?

[@k.w5804]

@@PrimeAudioReviews Yes. I mean the Pula PA02. It's a good set with good value. But it's annoying when the QC issue hits. It's also a first time for me.

[@Hijynx87]

Or the cklvx d41, take your pic. Same iem different faceplate.

[@Hijynx87]

@@k.w5804rattling as in like a buzzing sound when bass hits? Could be the tuning filter behind the dynamic driver being loose.

[@carminedesanto6746]

GM $600 U.S. …is $820 CAD …😮 Exchange Rates are a thing ..along with taxes … I’ll pass on this ..but definitely keep an eye out should they go on sale 😊

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

It's worth it!

[@k.w5804]

Been eyeing this and the HiSenior Mega5est as well. Leaning towards the mega5est only because aliexpress has them on sale for 700 CAD, and of course the recent hypes.

[@GawainDragon]

I think you just made me buy a 600$ iem.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

It's my top mid-tier rec as of now. I think you would love it.

[@dujankees]

volare or advar?

[@oThDeth]

Lol

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Volare is better imo.

[@masterazlan6999]

Naa.. Try the timy colab Dunu Da Vinci bra.. hope u dun change u minds.. Ha4.. Peace!
