I really liked Zeros, Dusks are pretty good, but lacked air. today I saw headphone shows video they said project red is seriously good. The new project red V3.0b graph has reduced Sub and mid bass, and slightly reduced 4k region compared to V2.2. initially project red looked like 7hz zero with better bass The new V3 graph looks like hybrid iem. Looks very similar to dusk. Also Blessing 3 coming out.

What do you guys think? An upgrade over Dusk or something very different?

Edit - I feel like the pricing will be somewhere around $100. Could be 7hz Legato

Edit 2 - Read this article

Based on my experience with comparing Crincacle's graphs vs others vs what I perceive in my own ear I would expect a nasty timbre killing 12k peak just like on the Salnotes Zero. My experience may not be represaentative though as many others do not complain of that.

I don't know anything about the construction of this unit but I'm guessing it has two drivers? It has the hallmarks of a dedicated driver for the bass but only one driver for everything else.

Nah. The 5128 measurements look good. No peaks.

And yes, the Salnotes really had that peak on the 5128 measurements.

I see a peak at 14k. I know from experience comparing Crinacle's measurements to my ears that it will be at 12k and probably much higher in magnitude.

If it peaks after 15k, especially is it is sort of flat at the top instead of sharp like on the Dusk measurement then I just might be ok, and indeed the Dusk one of the only 2 IEMs I have heard that don't give me peaky upper treble.

Is Crin using his new measurement rig in this graph? I haven’t followed it that closely, I just saw his video unboxing the new gear. May mean the baseline has changed.

zero still sounds pretty good. I kinda feel like project red is a dusk successor
