    The LX SE was done in the new mist for the shells - see pic below - and I'd say it is a touch less tinted and more see through. Kind of splitting the difference between a full clear and what storm was.

    Not trying to be THAT guy but I got my LX CIEMs as a performance bonus for killing it at NAMM in January, 2019. We'd been toying with the Odin prototype materials for a minute by that time so I asked to be a guinea pig for a few of the materials to see if they were long-term suitable. We...

    I mean, I totally get it - the aqua shells were also a personal favorite of mine. However, as we begin to roll out 3d printed shells we need to limit our options to what we can reliably 3D print with, and the choices of well performing colors is pretty slim based on our extensive testing...

    I quite enjoyed the pairing, the Zeus is a great quality cable. The bass is full and tight, you get a bit more on the top end. Leaves the signature rich and adds headroom. I'd recommend the pairing.

    Hey Friends We've been knee deep in the Skunkwerkz™ (as usual) so apologies for the delayed response but I'm happy to address the elephant in the room. While R&D'ing the MKII models as CIEMs - not something we were convinced we were going to offer initially but the interest was too strong for...

    Nice! There are a handful of the prototypes floating around out there - the Cleopatra ones with the gunmetal version of this y-split are particularly smexy These prices are UIEM. CIEMs will hopefully be available before too long, but our production has been running at max capacity since the...

    The EVR MKII will continue to be available in the markets it has launched in for the time being, but ultimately we have found that the tuning is too close to what the ESR MKII and the Bravado MKII offer and is therefor a little redundant in our lineup and production space.

    Pricing: Bravado MKII: $799 ESR MKII: $1099 Valkyrie MKII: $1599 Many, many things factor into the cost of our products, including cost of materials, the difficulty of construction and the labor involved, and research and development costs. Suffice to say we always do our best to price things...
