The perfect IEM! A term that should bring both excitement and fear to people who are into IEMs. The complications happen within people's view of what perfection means to them. It is, at its heart..subjective. For me, the moment I can add nothing or take away anything makes the identification of Perfection applicable. And so this title is applied with this IEM, The Blessing 2 Dusk(*after my tip are added).
For starters...the name. "Blessing" is what these have been to me. From the moment I saw these I tried to buy IEM's that were cheaper to avoid spending the money they wanted for the Blessing 2 Dusk but all I could think about was them. The thought that I was going to wear something that was named "Blessing" in my ears somehow defined the sound I felt I wanted from an IEM as well as the look. I heard others claim that these didn't fit the ears of all people and worried I was going to be among those people who it didn't fit. So I tried to buy others. Tried the kz's, starfields, Katos, final audio A4000, and even B3's. Went through them all and they all had strengths to their sound profile and all of them failed in others areas. Where I could find details and timbre in one, sub-bass was missing, or if I could get sub-bass and timbre, the Soundstage or fit were the issues. Bottom line ...nothing seems to fit all areas or all styles of music...until I was "blessed":).
By the time I got the Blessing 2 in I was very cynical about IEM'S. I had gone through all kinds of disappointing examples and I felt I was more or less buying the last one just because it was the only thing I didn't try and always wanted. I had plans to sell them or return them before I ever got them in the house. But all my doom and gloom started to fade when I got them in the mail 4 days prior(Christmas eve)to the delivery date of the 28th of December that was given to me. That excited me but when I opened them up I noticed that the tips given do not fit my ears and seal properly. So the sound absolutely sucked. But I decided on one final attempt. I had spin fits tips just sitting around that have always fit my ears. I put them on the Blessing 2 and put them back in my ears and everything changed.
First ...I thank my Father in heaven for this. This earphone is the greatest example of Perfection in an IEM that I have ever heard in my life. The case is so appealing to me. The esthetics of the its looks with thr brushed still plate. Even the very cables themselves are soft and not over stiff, very manageable. Funny enough but even the color of the cables reminds me of something angelic in its nature. And all this before the sound is ever applied.
So when we get to sound, I have never heard of a better, more realistic timbre and tonality in anything in my life from a IEM. The bass and sub-bass are binary...completely shutting off if not present in the sound being pumped into it. But ever-present and perfect in its attack and Extention when called on. The Treble is so perfectly detailed without any over-push. Vocals and imaging are beyond anything I have heard in earphones along with a killer soundstage to boot. Everything is the exact copy of whatever sound it is supposed to create. Voice and or sounds are so real it feels like the person is truly there right next to you and no IEM I have heard in my life does this better than the Blessing 2. Basically, you are looking for an IEM that mimicks headphones thanks to Crinacle's programing for the Blessing 2 Dusk. This is the first of its kind and because of this, it has become one of my favorite audiophile instrument that I have ever experienced in my life, just as its name suggests...it is truly a Blessing to have this IEM and it is why it is Perfection. For me ....this IEM gains my Perfect DIAMOND 5 STAR AWARD.
