The Yume’s treble is a master class in how good, well-presented treble shouldn’t scream like a wailing banshee into your ears. Simply amazing midrange performance, and the main reason I will be keeping this IEM. It has a very neutral signature, with warmish tonal coloration in the lower mids that gives body to a lot of male vocals and lower-pitched strings, and gradually gets more neutral as it goes up to the upper mids where tonal color is gone and the neutral tonal characteristics combined with the slight forwardness lend themselves incredibly well to female vocals and sharper higher pitched strings like acoustic guitar, giving it that transient “bite” that brings you into the notes but again, not a sliver of harshness on properly mastered stuff. The entire midrange has a smoothness to it’s tones that obliterates harshness and sibilance on almost all tracks but it doesn’t have the blunted detail retrieval that plagues other smooth IEMs, nor does it have the warmish tint to the entire midrange. Overall tonality is a relatively well-balanced neutral, with maybe a little bit of a boost to the upper mids. Midrange tuning on this IEM is so tonally perfect some people might describe it as boring. Still in the context of this IEMs neutral Harman tuning I can’t fault the bass too much, and it doesn’t have any overt flaws either. SeeAudio if you’re reading this retune for a little more midbass and the bass will be better for it IMHO. However, it does lack the authority and impact expected of a hybrid setup and is rather underwhelming. The bass isn’t bad, it works well with the rest of the IEMs tunings, and it’s inoffensive.

Coming from the DT300, an all-BA IEM, I was shocked to observe that the DD bass on the Yume resembled BA bass more than it did DD bass. The bass is quite fast and works relatively well in busy tracks however it lacks impact and weight to make the lower region properly authoritative. Thanks to the lack of midbass it can result in a shortage of texture and contrast to the bass, with it sounding “one-note” on occasion. It’s relatively flat on the graph with bias towards the subbass.

The only quibble I have here is that the seam between the faceplate and the rest of the shell has a lot of visual irregularities. These practically disappear in your ears as soon as you put them on thanks to the mold and their light weight. Despite having a rather large protrusion for the concha fin, it doesn’t get intrusive towards your ears. The nozzle is also rather long making fitting easier. The shell is quite molded for a UIEM however it’s very well done. The nozzle is made of a separate metal material and has what I would consider to be a rather obtrusive type of filter fitted to it stock so I modded it to a mesh filter, which “opened up” the sound a bit, giving this IEM a needed boost in soundstage.

The 3 drivers are all fed to the nozzle using tubes. 28.The IEM is made out of a hollow piece of resin with a decorative faceplate to close it off.

The offering comprises 367.6 million to 471.7 million new shares and the stock is set to start trading in Stockholm on Oct. The deal implies an enterprise value of $20 billion for the startup, with Volvo expecting to hold a 50% stake in Polestar after it lists.Ĭornerstone investors including AMF Pensionsforsakring, Swedbank Robur, If P&C Insurance,Nordea Funds, Skandia Fonder and Skandia Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Danica Pension, Livsforsikringsaktieselskab have committed to buying 6.4 billion kronor worth of shares in the IPO. The IPO also comes less than a month after electric-vehicle maker Polestar, controlled by Volvo and Geely, said it will go public in New York via a blank-check merger. Raising additional funds will smooth the shift away from legacy combustion engines, and put the company on course to chase the lofty valuations of other EV specialists like Nio Inc. Proceeds from the share sale will help Volvo shift to a direct-to-consumer sales and subscription model, while the company this year also set an ambitious goal to go fully electric by 2030.
