The Quintet fits them well while the Monarch MK3 hurt.

Just received the Quintet for DJing; sounds great with superb isolation.

Recently got the Quintet: really clean with clear separation, but wanted more bass and intimate vocals.

Tried the Quintet: amazingly detailed but tiny-sounding with recessed male vocals; returned it.

negative

Owns the Quintet: a little less soundstage but incredible detail, imaging and mids, worth the price.

positivedetailed

Absolutely disliked the Quintet; it hurt their ears more than any IEM, so they sold it.

negativeharsh treble

Has gushed about the Quintet; its 32-ohm impedance makes it resistant to poor sources.

positive

Has the Top Pro, Blessing 3 and Dusk, but the Quintet at a third of the cost makes them question everything.

Has the Variations and Quintet; the Variations is better but they often reach for the Quintet's exciting, spicy sound.

Ordered the Quintet and S12 after the Cincotres felt big, and compares their sizes.

Recently got the Quintet for EDM and indie pop: safe tuning with great bass.

Has the Quintet but doesn't enjoy it: sometimes bloated bass and treble lacking sparkle versus the Blessing 3.

negativemuddy

Owns the Quintet and Odyssey; the Quintet is brighter with better resolution and imaging, but its fit is painful.

Bought the Quintet themselves a year ago and preferred it over the Binary Chopin.
