NICEHCK x Mysticraft Dragonforged

Reserve yours with a A$1,000 refundable deposit. DMZ Audio is the Australian distributor for the Dragonforged.

How the pre-order works

• The A$1,000 you pay today is a deposit, not the full price. It holds your place in the first Australian allocation.
• NICEHCK hasn't set the final price yet. We expect it to be about A$7,100–7,850 including GST, based on an estimated US$5,000–5,500.
• Once the price is confirmed, we'll email you the final price and an invoice for the balance. The balance is due before your unit ships.
• If you'd rather not go ahead at the confirmed price, just tell us and we'll refund your deposit less a 5% platform fee (A$50), so you get A$950 back.
• Shipping date to be confirmed. We'll keep you updated as we hear from NICEHCK.

Dragonforged is an ultra-flagship IEM made by two brands working together. NICEHCK built it, and Mysticraft Acoustic Research tuned it. Mysticraft is the boutique label from Lee Quan Min of Elysian Acoustic Labs. It is the most ambitious IEM NICEHCK has made, and it debuted as a prototype at Potafes Tokyo, CanJam SoCal and the Shenzhen and Beijing audio shows in 2026.

Each side holds 15 drivers: 13 balanced armatures from Knowles and Sonion, plus two Sonion electrostatic drivers for the top end. The tuning is warm and bass-led. The bass is full and has real authority, the mids are rich and natural, and the treble is airy and detailed without turning bright. The stage is deep and open, and the layering is precise.

Forged in Damascus steel

The shells are machined from dragon-scale patterned Damascus steel. Each one is capped with a gold, sculpted faceplate. Because each shell is solid metal, Dragonforged is heavier than a resin IEM. Contact us if you'd like to arrange a listening and fit session before you commit.
