THE DEFINITIVE MEGA5-EST Review (BASS vs OG MEGA5EST 7TH and ORACLE MK3)

[@jayyaudio]

For the bass version I believe you need to get the custom version and ask them to add more bass

[@ganshengkai7060]

I thought is MEGA5EST-HBB LIMITED EDITION Their Product and version quite messy which might misleading customer.

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

@@ganshengkai7060 HBB discontinued the collaboration.

Joyce and Jay leading the way on the new review meta of describing in ears by season/time of day 😊

[@CLaudiusClemensJimmy]

Agreed

[@TheVeganVicar]

Been waiting for this!

[@ourada46]

Thanks for the review. When reviewing the origin, please compare it to other bass-heavy IEMs like the estrella.

[@pmdthewizard]

The KE4 is such a great value, I'm really getting tempted video after video

[@jayyaudio]

😋

[@HobbyTalk]

This is one I really want to try, especially one of the ones with added bass.

[@TheVeganVicar]

So, you haven't heard the original version?

[@HobbyTalk]

@@TheVeganVicar I have not, no

[@TheVeganVicar]

@@HobbyTalk, they are the best, in my opinion!

[@treblewellxtended]

Oracle MK3 I think nailed it in this price range. And thieaudio in general doing great work across price ranges

[@jayyaudio]

Yupyup

[@exactom6320]

Has anyone heard of the simgot ea500 dsp? I bought a unit from a seller on AE but I can’t find any reviews or info on it. It seems legit though. It’s black and has the same cable as the ew300 dsp. It’s kinda nice ngl

[@jayyaudio]

nope

[@exactom6320]

@@jayyaudio well I have a unit and it’s too good to be a fake. I wonder if it will ever get full release and how the AliExpress sellers got their hands on them.

[@stfn112]

Appreciate the review. Does anyone know if us regular Mega5Est owners can EQ into this bass version, what would we have to set? I'm fairly new to the EQing.

[@jayyaudio]

ya just EQ it same thing

[@m_yy_m]

Thanks for the review . 👍 I have been thinking of getting the EW300 to try piezo drivers before jumping to the $200 range because I'm sensitive to shrilly timbre. Are the KE4 a huge upgrade over the EW300?

[@jayyaudio]

EW300 is arguably better, so nah

[@m_yy_m]

Thanks 👍

[@k.w5804]

I won’t even look at this set when oracle mk3 and ke4 are out. One can spend more or less to get either

[@withgeez]

Hay jayz, do you have any chance to review the TRN White Tiger? It got interesting 2DD + micro planar

[@chrism8324]

Hey dude. I just bought the ARTTI T10 cuz they were on your list. They rock for 50 bucks. I eq a little bass into it and it fits my tastes nicely. Thx

[@jayyaudio]

Glad you like them~

[@paulosilva8200]

Buddy. Can you do a video for loud volumes above 85db sets with less upper.mids and treble . If you don't mind. Good work. I watch all youe videos. You come a long way. Don't stop

[@DarthRaven2]

Got a question , if im already EQ-ing my Nova to the Meta tuning am i missing alot with the Double DD in the KE4 for bass and is it worth upgrading ? Preamp: -8.0 dB Filter 1: ON PK Fc 100 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 0.500 Filter 2: ON PK Fc 400 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 0.600 Filter 3: ON PK Fc 1500 Hz Gain -1.5 dB Q 1.000 Filter 4: ON PK Fc 5500 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 2.000 Filter 5: ON PK Fc 8800 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 2.000 Filter 6: ON PK Fc 14000 Hz Gain 8.0 dB Q 1.400 Filter 7: ON PK Fc 15000 Hz Gain -7.0 dB Q 4.000 Here's eq for the Nova , curious to hear ur thoughts on this vs the KE4

[@jayyaudio]

The 2DD is a nice bump, but not needed persay since Meta tuning doesn't focus on bass too much

[@DarthRaven2]

@@jayyaudio I meant more in texture,slam,bass decay compared to regular DD

[@Hots4Frogs]

Tangzu bajie mentioned! I'm waiting on reviews for that one

[@jayyaudio]

Mine still hasn't shipped yet lol

[@giannisapostolopoulos9217]

Thanks Jay! KE4 is that good?

[@jayyaudio]

it's good if you're looking for a warmer set

[@RadoDani]

Speaking of bone conduction, why no one reviews BGVP stuff like DMA and Phantom?

[@jayyaudio]

No idea

[@UFO-Audio]

Jay, do you live in a cold climate region? Just curious, I noticed you were jackets and sweaters often. Love your reviews! Keep up the great work!

[@jayyaudio]

Yup I'm from Canada hahaha and thank you!

[@UFO-Audio]

@@jayyaudio Oh cool 😎! U.S. here.

[@AronAddams7]

This video makes me want to get the KE4 even more.

[@JAG3RmanJENSON]

Looks like you increased the rating of the Tea Pro? Looks like it is now your #2 Top pick in that $300-400 just behind the Estrella?

[@jesh879]

Fresh reviews loved it too. I think this is my next IEM.

[@JAG3RmanJENSON]

Just got mine yesterday. Sounds amazing! My new favorite (also have P5, 61T, SM4, Adonis new) But it isn’t performing in Apex like Fresh said. Maybe my DAC isn’t good enough. Got the Fiio K5 pro ess and ONIX alpha xl1. Hoping fresh reviews the SMSL Raw mda 1 cause that’s the one I want. He says to get the DX3 pro at the moment

[@lilnapkin462]

@@JAG3RmanJENSON The DX3 pro is .. fine. But it's not amazing compared to lots of things. I don't know why he would suggest it over an Atom stack, for instance.

[@tamilvanan6763]

Suggest a good dac / amp for aful explorer

[@vikasreddybittu]

Simgot supermix 4 and aful explorer both are available for same price which one should I choose help me

[@jayyaudio]

Supermix4 overall, Explorer for high volume

[@jakubaugustyn9817]

Jay I don't know why you don't want to review qoa, you like rosefinch, you like bass and something that will provide an incredible amount of bass, qoa adonis new is simply an improvement of rosefinch, a big step forward, the same impact as rosefinch but with much better everything else! this is one of the best basshead set on the market in this price! Please do it for the basshed community, let them know about the existence of qoa Jay!

[@Emre-nl8df]

Hello Jay. In my country, products over 30 euros are not accepted. There are only these IEMs in my country. Which of these would be better for metal music or rock music? Truthear Zero Blue Tuthear Zero Red Truthear Nova Truthear Hexa Sennheiser IE200 Kiwi Ears Melody Kiwi Ears Quartet Kiwi Ears Forteza 7hz Sonus

[@jayyaudio]

Quartet probably, but the bass is a but "slow", Nova is cleaner but might be too spicy in the uppermids and lack some mid-bass. bassier quartet, cleaner nova

[@hellman7825]

Thieaudio origin review needed

[@zblus]

Huh, didn't know about the hbb version. Hope it's the same so I d don't have to worry about it 😂

[@ngxinrong]

only gotten into iem hobby this year and there are way too many HBB collabs going around..

[@jayyaudio]

hahahaha

[@audiowithargha]

I managed to get the Oldest Version

[@adilsonnogueira6468]

Nah…the Mega5 does not need more bass…unless you are a sad Mega Basshead…this would not be a “new new meta” it would be a niche meta…😂

[@jayyaudio]

OG Mega5 low-end doesn’t have good bass texture

[@roguegorilla8981]

Well that's just your opinion some of us like more bass than neutral.

[@benmacdhui]

Then what's your $500 benchmark Jay?

Oracle mK3 for now until I hear the Tangzu Bajie

So these guys saw ppl wanted more Bass and not insane details after all you listen to music not gear and just cause you can't hear 1 of 10 steps or something like this in your music you can't enjoy it anyway releasing the same model over and over now even HBB edition and what this is Bass edition and HBB is Bass+ edition and man i hate these stupid limited edition no one can buy unless you follow them constantly every day and stay on their website like it's your religion or something

[@StarBuccaneers168]

When's Mega 5-EST Treble?

[@jayyaudio]

LOL. How did you know about my collab

[@studynowPH]

I think the dusk is more price worth than mega5est bass. I just switch it to bass plus preset and it's done.

[@Cujobob]

I have both and prefer the Mega5EST by a fair amount.

[@jbecks35]

ie-600 smokes all of these sets.

[@jayyaudio]

LOL

[@mikecast20]

As someone listening to the ie600 right now and preferring them because of comfort, you are wrong.

[@msteele0]

++bass does not = better.

[@jayyaudio]

Not saying more bass=better, the bass texture isn't that great on either of them, gets outclassed by $300-400 sets, but at least with the bass version it now has its own/unique sound vs the bland OG tuning. It went from smooth neutral to warm, comforting, and smooth

[@msteele0]

@@jayyaudio Some of us prefer "studio tuning" We like to hear what mixing and mastering engineers intended.
