🎧 MYER-AUDIO SLIIVO SL224 — Now Available at The HiFi Cat | $269.99

Eight drivers per side. One coherent, exciting sound.

The SL224 uses a 2DD + 2BA + 4 micro-planar hybrid configuration — and unlike many multi-driver IEMs, it actually delivers on the promise. Deep, fast bass. Clear, expressive vocals. Airy, detailed treble. All working together without stepping on each other.

Highlights: ✅ 10mm + 6mm dual dynamic drivers — real sub-bass body and punch ✅ Dual balanced armature — clean, present vocals especially female voices ✅ 4 micro-planar drivers — fast, airy treble with strong detail retrieval ✅ Real shellfish shell faceplates — every pair is unique ✅ Modular cable with 3.5mm, 4.4mm balanced & Type-C plugs included ✅ Above-average instrument separation and spacious stage for the price

The X6S has a rich, lush sound with great texture. More suited to neutral or warm sources, while the X3S pairs better with R2R or bold-sounding front ends. The X6S needs a little more power to really open up. Temperament's tuning precision is on point — a very satisfying experience.

New drop 🎧 Temperament X6S — flagship flat-head tuning for $65.

Same DNA as the $629 Black Bell. CNC alloy shell. 15mm proprietary driver. Modern, fatigue-free sound.

This is the blind buy of the year for flat-head fans.
