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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForged in Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
