UM MEXT
This review is not technical in nature or very detailed. I will be posting a more detailed review on Head-Fi within the coming week. This review and the one I will be posting on Head-Fi took longer as my experience with the UM MEXT took a dramatic turn after changing from narrow bore to wide bore eartips.
TLDR; The UM MEXT are wonderful. The sound is full, like Floor-standing speaker, full size cans full. Not muddy, or congested. Not shouty or sibilant. Not for bass-heads, or treble-heads, but everyone who wants to truly experience the full spectrum of their music in a whole being kind of way.
PROS: Everything.
CONS: The shells are large. I thankfully have never had to worry about the size of most IEMs and can comfortably wear ones that are deemed too big for others. With the MEXT however, they push against the top of my ears, especially on the left side and so I find them uncomfortable after a couple of hours of listening, which is a shame, as their sound profile is not fatiguing in any way and I could listen for unlimited hours of sonic pleasure.
I've often said that there is a difference between hearing a thing and experiencing it. Between being aware of a thing and feeling it; knowing it deep inside you.
The UM MEXT is not the most technical, revealing, airy, pinpoint-accurate sounding IEM I have ever experienced. The Mext has been described by some as smooth, soft, and warm. I cannot disagree with these observations. Some have stated that the Mext is bass heavy, or bass forward. Again I can see where some might describe them as that.
For me, the UM MEXT is like a gorgeous bottle of red wine, that after having been allowed to breathe, presents it's tannins in a softer, rounder way. Much like the supple mouthfeel and silky smooth body of the wine, the Mext feels full, dense, and chewy, but never muddy or bloated.
The MEXT encourages me not to simply hear or 'taste' the music, but rather go beyond the awareness of what they are presenting, to the feeling; the emotional connection with the music. The MEXT creates an experience.
BASS
The UM MEXT has substantial bass. Its low end is quite noticeable but in a cohesive and unified way. The bass never feels as if it is its own character on stage, but rather an integral part of the whole. It feels large and encompassing, yet never overwhelming, or 'bassy'. Some IEMs present bass in a way that sounds as if the bass is separate, like a subwoofer in the corner. The MEXT however, sound as if they are large floor-standing speakers presenting a wall of sound that envelopes the listener.
MIDS
UM MEXT presents mids that are warm and full. To me, they don't feel recessed all that much, but I wouldn't describe them as forward necessarily. This to me showcases the brilliance of the tuning with the MEXT, as I don't feel that any frequency stands out as being a solo artist in the mix, but rather a vital contributing member of a team that's primary goal is accurately present the music in an engaging and emotional way. I have heard some reviews state that these excel at male vocals and would not be recommended for female vocals. I disagree. I found that female vocals appear silky and full-bodied, rather than thin as some IEMs can present.
HIGHS
Here is where the UM MEXT show their dependency on eartips.
I'll be honest; when I first started my listening after a burn-in of 100+ hours I had a very distinct impression; soft, smooth, and almost veiled in the mid-upper region. Turns out all the tips I was using were medium/narrow bore. The blue core UM tips are a wide bore. With the wide bore and short core tips, the audio opened up in the upper mid and highs to such an extent that I had to throw away my opinions, relisten to all my tracks to make sure I wasn't imagining things and was very pleasantly surprised.
I wouldn't call the highs on the MEXT sparkly or shimmering. I wouldn't describe the MEXT as overly revealing. I also wouldn't describe them as sharp, sibilant, piercing, or fatiguing. The highs don't lack clarity, they also don't dominate the mix, they simply shine in a way that is both engaging and relaxed. I could listen to these for hours and never feel like I am being shouted at. Strings, horns, wind instruments, and hi-hats all appear clear, bright, alive, and at the same time smooth, silky, refined, and altogether pleasant. I am very picky about my highs, demanding that my sound be crisp, open, dynamic, and exciting. The MEXT meets all those requirements with ease.
My primary DAP is the HiBy R6 2020 and the MEXT sounds wonderful through this source. My experience buying from MusicTeck has been the best experience I have ever had from any audio company I have ever dealt with and I cannot recommend them enough.
I normally only like open back headphones.. but today that has changed… one word about the Valhalla, super..
Personally, considering the driver configuration and the product's release timing, I had a preconceived notion that this product would be a replica of Canpur 752B, so I had no intention of purchasing this product. However, the evaluations of people who purchased and experienced this product made me think that my guess might be wrong. In conclusion, this product is the IEM that I currently use most frequently on a daily basis. As a bonus, you can get great design elements that other IEMs cannot match and a perfect fit. Thank you to Musicteck for opening the opportunity to purchase such a great product identical to this new one.
Set is absolutely gorgeous and it’s brighter tuning compliment very well already acquired Multiverse Mentor. Thanks to MusicTeck for handling both orders.
Highly recommended.
I am writing this feedback to express my absolute delight with the MASS-KOBO Model 475. After spending quality time with this amplifier, it has completely blown my expectations away and proven to be a phenomenal investment.
As an audiophile who deeply loves the organic, majestic, and rich sound of legendary analog reel-to-reel systems—specifically the iconic Telefunken M10 tube tape machine—I never imagined a battery-powered solid-state amp could evoke that same emotional response.
The Model 475 behaves less like a modern portable device and more like a high-end tube masterpiece. The pure Class A topology delivers a phenomenally holographic and spacious presentation. The midrange possesses that exact "fleshy," liquid, and soul-stirring warmth reminiscent of the classic Telefunken tube sound. It wraps around vocals and acoustic instruments like cello, violin, and piano with an effortless, lifelike weight, while the background remains pitch-black and dead silent. The current delivery and control over transducers are nothing short of masterful.
The MASS-KOBO Model 475 has genuinely elevated my portable listening experience to an elite level. For anyone seeking true desktop-grade fidelity on the go without sacrificing that magical, analog musicality, this amplifier is a masterpiece. 10/10!
So, I’m going to start this review with a fundamental disclaimer. I am 67 years young, and was privileged to live through the golden years of our hobby. Names like Saul Marantz, Avery Fisher, John Dahlquist, and James B. Lansing were not corporate abbreviations, they were the foundational cornerstones of hi-fi.
Over the years, I have worked in some of my locale’s last high-end brick and mortar stores.
That being said, I am not one to use flowery language that continually falls back on the false topics of “soundstage, imaging, width, depth, height, blah, blah, blah. Most of us listen to multi-track recordings that have none of the above listed attributes included in the recording, producing, or mastering processes.
Okay, so what about the Palavox? Simply put, the Palavox are complete game changers.
They’re incredibly comfortable. The included cable is supple and doesn’t tug on my ears. This transducer is as close to having a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10s strapped to the side of my head and ears as I’ve ever experienced!
By the way, Andrew and his staff at MusicTeck have made the lack of a physical store to visit almost meaningless. It is always such a pleasure to interact with him.
Very highly recommended!!!
