Niiiice, can't wait to hear what you discover!Hype 4 has arrived.... Wayyyy earlier than expected!
That's how I felt moving to the EVO. No veil at all with all of the bass.I'm listening to my thieaduio prestige (og, not ltd) and I think these didn't get neslry enough love. Just picked up the new Hiby R3 gen ii and these sound really good together. Obviously, they sound even better on my dx320, but these just didn't get much love. Sure, they are V shaped, but for those of us who want good bass slam without sacrificing treble or resolution, these are tough to beat. These sound far better than Empire Ears Legend for example for half the cost. Thieaudio is killing it, imo.
Evo vs legend x? Haven't heard the evo, but every other empire ears I've heard has been overpriced compared to the innovative stuff coming from China. Same wirh ie900 and andromeda. I'd take the blon03 over either of them.That's how I felt moving to the EVO. No veil at all with all of the bass.
You can't put a price on that level of bass + space + actually figuring it out. The LX was the only kid on the block for almost 5 years. Of course China can price out American, German, and SG. That doesn't mean that UM's pricing and Moondrops Solis 2 aren't unforgiveable cash grabs.Evo vs legend x?

Well, in terms of bass and space, the Z1R checks those boxes and does it far better, as far as staging and resolution go. Not super comfortable, but ahead of their time, and they still compete well despite being 10 plus years old at this point.You can't put a price on that level of bass + space + actually figuring it out.

Trust me. I traded up to the Evo. Just get the Evo open box price is roughly LX MSRP.
Highly recommend Symphonium Cirmson instead, much better.So I've booked a demo session with Elise Audio now in London for Tuesday next week. Hoping to listen to some IEMs and see what they are like. I have requested to listen to the following if possible so we will see what they are able to do.
FATfreq Maestro Mini
AFUL Performer 8
DUNU SA6 MK2
Kinera URD
Moondrop Blessing 3
Symphonium Meteor
Thieaudio Prestiege LTD
Canpur CP622B
There is very ,little chance of me buying the Canpur but apparently it's supposed to be really good so I need to have a small listen just to see what it's like. I should already have the Moondrop Blessing 3 but it was stolen off my doorstep so I don't actually know what it sounds like. This should give me an idea to see if I should arrange to get it again.
1. I listen mostly to metal genres (different types of core as well as classic heavy metal), post-punk, synth-heavy music (dark wave, cold wave, gothic rock), some 80s like Depeche Mode, Dance Society, etc. Complex or "packed" passages, not very much acoustic.Those who are big fans of the Prestige Ltd, could you please comment:
1. What music do you find them good for
2. What kind of sound signature do you generally like in your IEMs? Are you treble sensitive? Into detail? Bass?
