Awesome write up. Thanks for going into details. i agree about the use case. Do I need these? I already own the xm3 for over ears, air pod pros for on the go, and have custom iems for higher end listening. So probably not, but I want them!

@crinacle, do you think it's strange that there aren't too many bright/neutral (ie high detail) tier s CIEMs? that's my preferred signature and i'm trying to see if there's a wider market than the zeus. also, pardon my ignorance, but what does DF stand for? like when you say DF-neutral...

Thanks for the heads up. sent her a pm.

hey jack (or an EE rep), do you guys do reshells? when i bought my Legend Rs a long time ago, i opted for the recessed sockets. now it's playing hell with potential cable swaps i'm thinking about doing. Thanks!

looking forward to this.  particularly the more linear and brighter ones!

soooo...  which one sounds like the CK10?

i'd like to know as well.  i've read through too many pages of this thread without a good answer...  haha

i'm actually kind of interested in that.  but i've been out of the game for a little.  what's the difference between the V1 and V2?  does it need a powerful source to drive it properly?

1) 184,023 2) 150,245 3) 174,340

  i guess my comment wasn't clear.  if there was anything else out there made specifically for customs with a 2 pin and the short cable included.   the lear looks neat.  a good deal cheaper than the BTS as well.  has anyone tried it and does it come with the usb cable to charge it?

i'm now interested in one of these too.  are there any products out there like the noble BTS for a regular 2 pin.

ooh, can this finally be the CK10 CIEM I've been looking for?  I'm liking what I'm seeing this year.  a lot of CIEM designers put out their mid/bass centric offerings over the passed few years, and now they're appeasing the treble heads.  definitely interested in hearing more about this one...

that galaxy response curve.  wow.

jack, do you guys do custom ear plugs as well?  just like an acrylic plug without any protection features?  i didn't see it on the site.  i may or may not be getting into target shooting (thanks westchester, ny for making the application process so painful) and would be interested in a pair if...
