    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Hi folks, Just received a pair of JVC Spiral Dots++ from Amazon JP and have gone on a tip rolling quest between these and the standard Final E Tips. Initial impressions aren't great if I'm honest, for my tastes anyway. The midrange seems to be pushed forward with the bass taking a hit in its...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    It just seems strange to me that it has only happened with one earpiece and not the other, when I purposefully move the earpiece with my fingers slightly in both ears, one seems to be a lot more sensitive to flex than the other. Think I'll get them replaced as I've only had them a couple of days!

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Not sure about other brands but it is known with LX for sure. Not a concern re longevity of the drivers but as you say not great at all when listening to music and smiling which these make me do more often than not!

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Yep given the small and large tips a go - small wouldn't seal properly and the large has the same issue as well as being too large for my canal (starts to itch after 5 mins)

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    On a side note, does anyone experience driver flex once the Legend X is seated firmly in their ear? I get that driver flex should occur when taking them in and out of my ears and I'm fine with that but I'm getting flex in the left earpiece even when listening to music with a full seal Eg when...

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. Eneded up ordering a Peli 1020 with foam insert which should do the job nicely.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    First time posting in this thread and pleased to say I am now the proud owner of a pair of Legend X's. Like many people have posted in here, I am utterly addicted to them and can't remember the last time I looked forward this much to taking time out of my day to kick back and put some tunes on...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    It just makes life a whole lot easier and when lying down on a gym bench chest first I always found cables to get caught and tightened so they would pull my earphones out. Think I have all the cables and also the BT2 adapter but pretty sure I’ll stick with the true wireless solution for ease.

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Thanks for your responses guys, looks like I’ll be keeping the 846’s on the true wireless adapter most of the time then even if I am to workout - I assume they are sturdy enough to resist a bit of sweat? It does impact the sound quality quite a bit though compared to wired and I am somewhat...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Hi folks, Wow Page 1417 of posts, I sure am late to the party! Anyhow, I received my Shure SE846's the other day and now see what all the fuss is about... They are glorious in every way. I'm using the black filter as I'm a bit of a basshead but also appreciate how forward the mids are in...
