Where it fits
Can fill this documented system role when the stated conditions are met: Wired IEM users who want to evaluate two mechanical bass settings with a matching cable
Limits: Buyers expecting wireless features or a predictable tonal improvement over another Performer model
Keep the conditions visible
Match the exact 3.5/4.4 mm cable, maintain a consistent ear-tip seal when comparing radiator positions, and use low gain for initial source matching

Quick verdict
Wired IEM users who want to evaluate two mechanical bass settings with a matching cable
Avoid if: Buyers expecting wireless features or a predictable tonal improvement over another Performer model
Evidence checked: 2026-10-16. Manufacturer documentation; no independent SoundPath Lab listening, measurement, compatibility or firmware retest.
System conditions
Match the exact 3.5/4.4 mm cable, maintain a consistent ear-tip seal when comparing radiator positions, and use low gain for initial source matching
Documented specifications
| Item | Specification and conditions |
|---|---|
| Driver configuration | 1 dynamic + 6 BA + 1 micro-planar driver, plus an adjustable passive radiator per side |
| Impedance | 26 ohms ±20%, manufacturer specification |
| Sensitivity | 108 dB at 1 kHz; electrical reference not stated on the reviewed page |
| Cable | 0.78 mm 2-pin; 3.5 or 4.4 mm termination options |
| Bass control | Open/closed passive-radiator settings, not an electronic EQ guarantee |
Limits and source qualifications
The passive radiator should not be counted as an additional electrically driven transducer; bass, fit and load response require actual evaluation
Alternatives by need
Performer 5 provides the simpler documented hybrid configuration; Cantor changes to all-BA architecture. Compare fit and the specific bass-control need before changing
Keep or upgrade
Keep a working system that already meets these requirements. Consider a change only when the documented connection, control or system role solves a specific unmet need; no measured sound-quality upgrade is claimed.
Evidence, support and reassessment
Review scope
SoundPath Lab reviewed the exact-model primary material cited below, including the relevant specification or connection sections. No independent listening, measurement, compatibility stress test or firmware retest was performed.
Actual sound, under-load output, room/ear fit, latency and long-term reliability remain untested. Existing scores, Builder qualification and owner/test records were not reassessed.
Firmware and regional support
Local stock, authorized sales, transaction prices and long-term support duration are not established by this documentation review. Any dated launch, delivery or warranty statement applies only to its stated territory and terms. Existing dated price and owner evidence is retained.
No installed firmware version or issue resolution was retested. Follow the exact-model official support workflow.
Reassess when evidence changes
Reassess on a verified revision, material compatibility or support change, resolution of a cited source conflict, or accepted independent testing. No arbitrary waiting period or lifetime promise.
No new six-month ownership evidence was added. Existing owner, issue and responsibility records remain unchanged.
