This was a $1000 upgrade from the $700 SONY walkman and it is definitely an improvement. Stronger amplifier boost the signal to my home amp via the line out so I don’t have to have it turn the amp all the way up and get hot. The display (and player) is larger and the album art fills more of the screen, a nice design feature. Why not use all the real estate? The HiBY music app is also more useable and better designed. It also has twice the storage but it wasn’t really an issue since I had a 500GB SD card in the SONY anyway. This unit is massive — large and heavy. Not good for jogging, but I use it to power my home amp and car stereo anyway. It comes with a 65W rapid charger with a hefty USB cable with rapid data transfer. Overpriced, but what can you do? After only two years the SONY line out jack started getting loose and static during play despite being very careful with it. This HiBy seems even more solid, but it better last five years minimum for the price.
i love it the sound is great sounds great on my Focal
Fantastic shop, great price, great service an excellent communication.
Thank you for your service
Excellent set for the price. The cable isn’t what you’d expect at any price point but despite this…. Silver Flash WINS!!
Enjoyed it. Smooth musical sound in a very compact package
Maven III is an IEM doing a lot of things right by me, from crystal clear, airy and energetic treble to unexpectedly physical bass, taking over from where Maven II left off. Resolution receives a bump, stage is wider and taller, more aerated, but without feeling hollow and the construction can be considered at least on par with Maven II. In terms of genres, obviously is works wonderfully for metal, delivering fast transients, good macro and micro dynamics and tastefully highlighted bass guitar. Maven II cannot keep up with the younger sibling, tracks like August Burns Red’s Behemoth contrasting the laser precision of bass drums in Maven III with the relaxed, less dynamic, Maven II.
While UM calls this tuning V, I would call it more W. since the voices are well highlighted too.
Is it still a “Maven”? I believe it is. At the same time, with its fast…everything, could also have been a member of the Mest series. (full review: https://mikaik-audio.com/maven-iii-moonshard-review/ or https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/unique-melody-maven-iii.29219/reviews)
As usual, the Musicteck service was great, quickly answering my questions, shipping the same day, etc. Always a pleasure to come back.
It's like there's a warm electric haze infused with every note, especially Rock. Some say it's too much, but I think it's a perfect specialist IEM. Upper mids and above aren't super detailed or prevalent but that's more feature than flaw. Twilight isn't designed to do everything well (shout out to Dita Ventura... I love you), but it serves its purpose perfectly. And they're pretty comfortable, praise be.
Im not sure why these aren't sold out yet. They sound excellent. Seriously they sound just like megafest but with a good clean solid bass that doesnt over power everything else. Niche? Maybe. fatiguing? I can get two three hours at a time then need a break but super super enjoyable to listen to. Side note musictek customer service was great .
