    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    So excited for an all metal IEM from EE! Hopefully build quality gets solidified so it can actually be handled without worrying about cracking shells. Design looks a bit too bling imo, something like the aluminium shelled noble Ragnar would've been more understated like the Ravens.

    So for impedance in general, if you take the source/ouput of the amplifier as some AC voltage (can be DC too) the headphone + amplifier circuitry can be shown like this: By using the phasor notation, jw (where w is frequency of voltage source, and j is denoting imaginary). The impedance of the...

    Sometimes if you get a snug enough fit. You can get some extra rumble (more like vibration) from the side of the IEM making contact with your conch.

    Something to note @Guzomx if you do find yourself a nice pair of Odysseys. I believe A&K handle the repairs and warranty for the unit. So if you're not in Asia and are not getting it retail, then that might be a long term consideration. Especially since it's a limited run so support might be...

    Since I didn't see any public replies on this, I'd say if you want a set that focuses on the presentation (feels like an actual instrument with the additional physical layer) and not just quantity of bass I'd go for the Legend EVOs. Otherwise if the price is too large of a step, I'd go for the...

    Thought I'd come back after the amazing 2.1 Patch, definitely enjoying the reduced ghosting with Path Tracing now :smile:. Never thought I would spend so much time in the apartments just looking outside and enjoying the interior spaces. Would there be any last plans to increase draw distance or...

    Also, does anyone know a good way to loosen an eartip so that I can avoid apply too much stress on the nozzle?

    I'd say the EVOs (also Odyssey and Ravens) brings a very different experience to bass because of the bone conduction driver. It depends on fit (though a looser fit still envelopes a good sense of bass) and tips. Apart from that, the EVOs sound fuller across the full frequency range. I've demoed...

    Cyberpunk really showcases their artistic talent and vision in Phantom Liberty without dated hardware of previous gen consoles holding it back. Even interiors feel more live-action like

    Their kinetic bass tech still has some gap between the BC + dual W9+ drivers EE uses for its bass. I feel if the EE team can engineer a metal IEM with similar level of thump and visercal (physical) senation that would be a industry lead for me. Really just want to daily drive this IEM and use...

    I wonder if now with the release of the Ravens, will Empire Ears consider bringing up the durability of their iems so that we may have a true built to last end game IEM (kind of like the shure se846 that could handle some rough handling without a sweat). If they could place their current tuning...

    Honestly, with the unabashed approach they have with their house sound (real bass and not artificially detailed peaky vocals and treble, my favourite implementation of the BC drivers) this was the IEM I was stuck on in CanJam London. They've really settled into a sound signature that they've...

    Do you know if the team will continue to improve the path tracing and recently introduced ray reconstruction technique? (There's a lot of ghosting for dimly lit scenes or small objects in the world when RR is turned on, either way this is still one of the most visually stunning media that I have...
