Apologies are first in order for the low quality pictures featuring my palm and fingernails, but hey, I was in a little bit of a rush for time during my audition session with the latest Paladin series IEMs from Fearless Audio.

Many Audio Companies in recent times have decided to integrate the use of Electrostatic Drivers in of their monitors, following in the footsteps of the Legendary Shure KSE 1200/1500 In-Ears. Additionally, Hybrids featuring the use of Dynamic Drivers, Balanced Armatures and E-stat drivers also suddenly started to gain traction in the community, with the Jomo Audio Trinity being one such example.



With the announcement of the Paladin Series, Fearless Audio have decided to ride the new wave of Hifi, releasing 3 new products: La Hire (2BA/2EST), Roland (1DD/2BA/2EST) and Lancelot (6BA/2EST). Surprisngly, despite being the middle child of the series, the Roland garnered significant praise from initial reviewers. Hyped as Giant Killers which destroyed the likes of the QDC Anole VX and the 64Audio U12t, not with facts and logic, but with unbeatable value and class leading sound.



Excited by the comparisons, as soon as audition units were available, I made my way downtown, and was Music Sanctuary bound.
