    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.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    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.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    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...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    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...

    Reply to review by 'ahossam' on item 'Aroma Audio Fei Wan "FEI WAN"'

    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.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    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.

    I have plan to get Raven standard version since day one, but when the launch problems appears on the Raven launch edition I decided to postponed my order until things cleared off. After months of uncertainty, and when I starting to forget EE Raven existence, my dealer contacted me offering...

    Woo's New Flagship WA33

    3 hours at minimum, average maybe 5 - 7 hours. I think my lesson learned is I often let it play while I take care of other things because I like to just put the headphone in my head again after finish doing something without needing to turn the system on and off again.

    Yeah I know, I never really thought about this. This makes me think twice before buying the expensive one. Fortunately the stock tubes sound is not bad at all.

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    It's 2024 can't believe I have owned 1266 TC for 5 years! And still, never ceases to amaze me. I've built my system around 1266 TC, and it paid off well. 1266 TC is like no other headphones. Once you listen to music through it with a proper setup, you will find other headphones sound flat, at...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Sorry didn't know that. This is frustrating, all we need is good communication. I respect brand like Cayin & iBasso (based on personal experience) more and more in handling situation like this. I even asked iBasso to send me new DX320 box (just the box, an empty box) because the box that came...
