Two purple halves to make one beating Hyla flagship called Sarda . Tuned to bring coherence and definition to the Hyla signature, this retains the balance of the CE-5 bass and treble, the fullness of the TE-5B's vocals and the sweetness in the TE-5T.
Definitely deserving of its flagship title, and priced perfectly to hold its own spot in the 1k-2k fleet of champions with 2 BA drivers, 1 dynamic, and 1 ceramic piezoelectric driver.
Only 300 world-wide.

Great headphones across the entire audio range.They sound much better than their price.Andrew helped me a lot in choosing these headphones.Thank you to him.
IMO, Sarda is one of the best looking IEM’s I have seen. Great comfort, soft flexible cable of great quality. Bass quality and quantity is excellent but not over powering. Mids are a bit recessed but crystal clear, you hear every detail without strain. Treble is very extended, detailed and resolved. Best treble I have ever heard. The only other quality IEM I can compare to is the CA Jupiter and I like the Sarda much more. Sarda has so much life to it! Powerful but not overpowering, musical with great technical skill and crystal clear is how I would sum up Sarda. Love it! All listening done on a 2020 iBasso dx 160.
Love this earphone. Solid bass as one expects from HYLA, excellent mids, and nice smooth Treble. Nothing lacking in this earphone. Would buy again. thanks.
This is the first Hyla IEM that received a proper name after supposedly combining the best traits of all 3 previous IEM, and the end result is a high energy sound signature worthy of TOTL status.
Bass reaches deep with articulate texture and speed, does not linger longer than necessary but does not unnaturally fade too quickly. Treble is effortlessly detailed and sparkly (if you are treble adverse please find a way to audition it before committing), mids are soft yet detailed. It is a very energetic IEM that works well with pop, EDM, for any faster music genre.
The only major fault is somewhat thin upper mids. Notes that fall under upper mids sound thin and transient. This can be rather obvious when listening to vocals that have a wider octave range when singer steadily increases in frequency range you can hear a distinct disconnect from when the vocal shifts from the DD crossover into the BA crossover. The thinner mids can be partially alleviated when using gold plated copper cables.
Packaging comes with a PWaudio Copper 28 V2 3.5mm with Hyla branding and a VanNuys case in a rather simple brown box. Packaging is rather unimpressive for an IEM of this tier. IEM faceplate is violet dyed stabilized wood with a dark transparent purple shell which allows you take a peak inside if you shine a light thru, nozzle diameter 6mm, recessed 2 pin.
The improvement on listening to music on my phone is beyond my very high expectations. The sound quality is just so much better, it has a softness that is reminiscent of vinyl. At the time of buying, Shanling only allowed their own launcher, but I managed to install a different launcher, which has made all the difference. Google Play let's you install loads of streaming, and music players, and something for my audio books. This is a Brilliant Device, and I cannot recommend it highly enough the service I received from MusicTeck was first rate. It was delivered internationally really quickly too. Five stars all round.
Quality build, sounds wonderful, Comparing with Hidiz S9 pro is in different league. Very happy with the unit after one month. One con - drains iphone battery fast, I guess it needs juice to produce this quality of sound. Using with HD660s 4.4 balanced and Final audio B3 IEM takes away brightness of B3.
Love the MSE. It has a unique and fun tuning. It is not for everyone though. If you love an elevated bass, especially sub-bass, you will enjoy it. Definitely a keeper in my collection.
I find these very comfortable, I use the large silicone tips that came with.
The only other IEM’s I own are Kinera Nanna 2. I think both have good detail and a wide soundstage. The Szalayi emphasize bass more than the Kinera’s. Vocal’s are especially good with the Szalayi. I find myself tapping my toes and drumming my fingers listening to the Szalayi. Very pleased with the purchase. MusicTeck service was excellent.
I now finally understand the hype and cult following for the Mest for almost 2 years now.
The sound quality most certainly justifies $1500 IMHO. With a 1/3 of the price discounted, it was an absolute no-brainer for me.
It is now my daily driver and loving every minute of it. After multiple days of tip rolling, the comply foam tips in L size worked best for me to allow the BC driver work better with a tight seal, while smoothing out the treble with more pronounced bass.
I bought these used, but it's in immaculate condition with no signs of wear and tear at all, while the box came shrink wrapped!
Top Notch Service from Andrew - Very quick responses. Very understanding. Very Fast Shipping (Received in 2 days after I put in the order).
Highly recommend Musicteck to anybody looking to buy high end audio gear.
If there were 6 stars, I would definitely give them the full 6 stars for this purchase. I will be a willing returning customer for the foreseeable future and have already started spreading the word among my friends. =)
