They're my daily everything headphones haha, so smooth and coherent with such a low profile fit. Glad you're enjoying them as much as I do!- Ethan Groover

They sound fantastic through an iPhone, and you can certainly appreciate the quality, but you will hear a whole world more information from a better source! Through my...iPhone? Far be it from me! They do sound quite spectacular through my Galaxy Note 8 however ;)- Ethan Groover

Truly a Legendary review for the Legend. Thank you for writing it Pinky! I think I can speak for everyone in saying we all look forward to your reviews when you post them! No price difference between Universal and Custom, but it is definitely not free (or even an option) to upgrade from...- Ethan Groover

Oh how I wish we had streets of headphone shops in the U.S. Would be amazing :) There is not any extra material or size introduced, regardless of how many times we re-use impressions. There have been some minor changes to tighten our default fit and I think that is what both of you are...- Ethan Groover

Whoa! YGPM. I'd be happy to help you resolve the fit issues, and though new impressions may help, they may also not be necessary. I would always advise coming to me or going through the Empire Ears contact page for help with fit issues or anything else!- Ethan Groover

Very interesting! I'll give it a read when I get a chance. I have way too many in-ears and cables and they get mixed up without any organization.- Ethan Groover

At the time of that statement we thought that our UIEMs were going to be injection molded. Unfortunately we had to reject several batches of injection molded shells and as of right now our UIEMs are still handmade, so we can not offer them at those prices like we were hoping to. The current...- Ethan Groover

This is either a case defect or as @Mython mentioned, an under-cured shell. I'm very sorry to hear about it though! I have spoken with our lead production manager and we'd be happy to reshell them free of charge. Please PM me for details on how to send it back and how long you should expect to...- Ethan Groover

Legend X Custom vs Universal: I'd say they are about the same! Though I will note that all 7 models use the same size universal shell, so a Legend will protrude the same amount as a Bravado. A custom Bravado however will usually fit very, very flush if not recessed a bit.- Ethan Groover

You could feasibly do this with us with a deposit of $7500 euros. Nothing to worry about at all! The W9 will naturally do that. The only time to worry would be if the drivers didn't flex. That's my custom Legend X and I will have a Bravado I can show next week. The Legend X does protrude from...- Ethan Groover

To quote @GizmoThunder: I would agree with his observations for the most part as well. The Bravado has slightly more forward vocals than the Spartan, slightly less treble quantity, and a much tighter, punchier, full bass response in comparison. I don't know exactly what your listening...- Ethan Groover

Reshelling an iem to a new owner is the same as making the unit brand new. We have to make a new shell, rebuild the internals, and also tune the iem to the new owner's canal shape. I would love for us to still offer re-shells but it is far too costly for us and we lose a lot of resources on it :/- Ethan Groover

Well I guess I can't say everything, but almost everything will sound smooth and unobtrusive on the Bravado. We no longer do transfer of ownership for customs. Reshells can however still be done for repair purposes.- Ethan Groover

Legend X would be the slightly more forgiving model of the two, but I would suggest the Bravado if you want a totally forgiving signature. Nothing ever sounds bad on the Bravado! Just got Tidal yesterday and I am thoroughly impressed with the step up in quality, imaging, and overall realism. I...- Ethan Groover

Fantastic impressions. If I ever wanted to write a phantom review (not that work would permit lol) I wouldn't know how to word it since you articulated my thoughts on the phantom better than I think I ever could! So glad to hear you are enjoying them! The Storm faceplates/shells look great...- Ethan Groover
