Before there were $1,000+ flagships, the world of chi-fi was ruled by Moondrop's S8 and Softears's rivalrous sibling, the RSV. To this day, they're among the best examples of faultless execution in IEMs, but they haven't been updated in five years. Until now. The new Softears RSV mk2 is a modern take on the original formula. But does it stand the test of time?
