Test Gear: DX340, stock cable

  • Good imaging
  • Linear stage from the 340
  • Treble is not sharp. Very pleasant.
  • High dynamic range
  • Bass separation is excellent
  • Upper mids is very good
  • The bass has got reverb.
  • The bass surrounds you, but it’s so controlled. It does not overwhelm you.
  • Bass don’t have the layering of duality.
  • Bass and mids occupying the same space, but layered apart naturally.
  • Very good treble in a semi diffused state
  • Very natural separation.
  • Stage on par with Hermit
  • Texture everywhere. Bass, mids, upper mids.
  • Rock is the sweet spot.
  • Manages to render badly mastered tracks well.
  • Intimate songs are intimate. Big sounding songs sound big.

Really shine on bass heavy. Else. It’s just a good IEM.

The Novus gives a sense that it’s the complete package.

Everything is good, very good, or excellent. I can’t find any downside except for price. Worthy of the TOTL tag.

    Using the PW cable. Bright Bass is on the mid bass side of things. Relatively airy presentation. A more clinical IEM. Quite fatiguing. A lot of upper register energies.
