    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I am on my second Raven, the first one has issue with the left monitor. When I touch the 2 pin connector the sound will come and go. I don't know if it's the cable or the female 2 pin connector on the iem, when I contact my local dealer about this they immediately replace it with brand new unit.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    After lots of tips rolling and using Plussound Silver+ my Raven is back to the stock setup (stock tips and cable). Just give Raven enough time, I don't hear Raven sound dark or too warm and thick anymore. And for the cable, yes Plussound Silver+ will improve Raven, but you have to really pursue...

    How about the soundstage? I've read somewhere Storm soundstage is lacking for a TOTL.

    When I first got Raven I tried lots of ear tips as I have stated on this thread a month ago. You can fine tuning Raven sound with different ear tips but Plussound Silver+ will improve it further.

    I have this new cable arrived couples of days ago, the Plussound Silver+ has done amazing things to Raven sound. With burn in Raven bass response and overall sound will improve, but still doesn't suit my taste for my music library, the overall sound with stock cable still a bit too warm and...

    Raven sound is big and expansive you can't miss that with Raven. You can fine tuning the thickness and treble sparkle with the various eartips type, insertion and source pairing. I only have a handful of DAP but Ibasso DX320/Amp12 makes Raven sound more like a typical neutral reference monitor...

    This is first time I prefer not to insert the eartips deep into ear canal and having snug fit, CP145 is the only eartips so far that can be inserted just enough into ear canal but still having good seal and not fall off. This way Raven sound is sublime to me. But I still going to try other...

    Aroma really need to up their design aesthetic. The iem design and the packaging looks cheap. No matter how good the sound is, if you charge money that much, you need to upgrade your appearance.

    With stock tips I find Raven is too thick, with CP145 Raven sound much more neutral and balance, which suit my taste better. But this changes is not going to alter Raven sound signature, it's just a bit of fine tuning to suit one taste. And yeah it's nice to have a bit of flexibility.

    I've been spending this evening playing with all kind of different Spinfit types and sizes. Raven sound can change quite dramatic with different eartips shape and size, particularly bass and treble. Now I am using Spinfit CP145 size S, not my usual size. This really change Raven sound profile to...

    No, I haven't enough free time yet. Agreed If you compared it to Odin Raven sound a bit darker. But Raven sound more natural to me.

    I have been playing Raven for a few hours then burn it in overnight through the next day, the improvement from initial listening is noticeable. Specifically the bass, they're now faster and have loosen up making Raven not as dark as first listen. The sound is more balanced and technical now.
