Youtube Video Summary
Presentation screams boutique: a big Pelican-style case, green confetti, branded pouches, and a signed QC card. The stock cable is a PW Audio #10 in 3.5 mm, hinting at upscale intent, and the shells are huge with color-shifting glitter plates that look unapologetically premium. Price turns out to be around €1,800 (~$1,900), with Universal and Custom offered at the same tag, plus deep customization options. Cable rolling shows audible shifts, but the star is the hardware on the shells: a proper flickable switch, not a pin-poker—practical and satisfying.
Under the hood sits a five-way hybrid: four BAs and a 7 mm titanium dynamic driver dedicated to sub-bass. That switch doesn’t just nudge bass; it tilts the whole response—adding warmth, lifting low end, and even taming treble edge/sibilance (think Fletcher-Munson savvy). Down position reads flatter; up position fattens the foundation and smooths the bite. Build is bulky but comfortable, and the tuning tools invite genuine on-the-fly tailoring track by track.
Performance hits hard: sub-bass is deeper than a 7 mm has any right to be, the midrange stays clean, and the treble can be made polite or vivid with a flick. The overall vibe is fast, energetic, and intensely engaging rather than laid-back, with standout detail, expansive soundstage, and precise imaging. It behaves like a true kilobuck flagship—big, bold, and addictive—making a confident recommendation despite the sticker shock, especially for listeners who want switchable character without sacrificing technical chops.
