    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    Good to know. Orpheus seems quite good but a bit expensive and First Times seems like a good in-between. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the stock cable and 10 being the Orpheus, where does the First Times land in terms of performance?

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    One of the great things about the Trailli for me is that it doesn’t sound crappy even if I just pair it with my phone or laptop. If I pair it with the Orpheus, does that mean it will sound worse with non-audiophile sources that may not have as much power now?

    Comment by 'pali' on listing 'COOL)EMPIRE EARS LEGEND EVO UNIVERSAL FIT'

    Hi! May I ask what are the white dots on the shell? Also wanted to confirm if it includes the cable (although it's not pictured)? Thanks!

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    At least that's what I remember. I find the Symbio has punchier bass and more clear highs (which makes the highs more elevated/pronounced). Meanwhile the XELASTIC rumbles more, perhaps since the material is more soft and gives a better seal compared to the Symbio. They don't sound a lot...

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    I haven't tried double flange because I generally find them uncomfortable. If you are looking for an eartip that sticks to your ear better and with good pairing with Traillii, try AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC. I find it's pretty comparable to Symbio (although a little more bassy).

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    Love the Symbio Peel (W but without the foam) with my Traillii. I don’t know how it happened, I usually just set mine at volume 60 (out of 150). I haven’t used the DAP in a LONG time and maybe it was a bug when it booted, but yeah agree it should have at least defaulted to 0 volume.

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    LOL yeah, I think my ears took more damage than my IEMs. Thank god it was just a DX200 and not a super powerful DAP. I bought the Bird used but did buy a bunch of other stuff from Andrew so might reach out anyway - that's a great idea, thanks! Thanks! Yeah, looks like a false alarm, plugged...

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    WELP! Decided to fire up the old DAP today to get a listening session in with the Bird and didn't notice it booted up at MAX volume. I was able to pause after a few seconds but worried that this might have damaged some of the drivers. Any advice on the best way to test them? I feel like the...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I picked up a Traillii around a month ago and haven't listened to my Odin or LX much since. I've been mostly listening to jazz lately, though. I imagine the Odin sounds better with pop music and if you like your EDM flat. The LX is more fun with EDM and HipHop. But if jazz is your thing then...

    iFi audio GO blu - Super small. Super light. Super Sound.

    I just picked one up. It’s pretty good for the size and price, but now I noticed that the volume knob feels a bit loose or flimsy, is that normal? Not sure if worth going back to the store to get it exchanged.

    iFi audio GO blu - Super small. Super light. Super Sound.

    How does one check if they have a 1st batch or 2nd batch of the ifi Go Blu? Is there a range of serial numbers or something? And does the latest firmware fix the issue? Want to buy one but afraid I get a 1st batch item from a retailer or even 2nd hand.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Folks who have had issues with their IEM or cable, how has EE customer service been? I bought an Odin a recently and the cable had some bends/kinks when I received them - I didn't think too much of it and figured it would resolve itself but a few weeks later, the cable turned to this (see...

    Here are the eartips I've tried so far with the Odin: More Bass -----> Less Bass (But more clarity) Spiral Dots Regular, Spiral Dots++, AZLA SednaEarfit, Symbio Peels, - - - - - - - - - Final E tips (Final E tips are probably one of the least bassy eartips I've tried ever) I feel like the...

    I don't think you are making a mistake. I own the LX OG and would not trade them for a version with leaner bass and more mids - you can always change your tips to get your LXOG closer to LX SE sound but I don't bet you can change tips to make LXSE sounds close to LX OG.

    Just got Spiral Dots++ today and really like them on my LX. Was previously using regular Spiral Dots for that wide soundstage and bass rumble. Spiral Dots keeps the same soundstage, and gives the bass a little more control while very slightly elevating the mids and highs, resulting in a more...

    Best Non-Portable Source for IEMs under $3K

    Hello! Hope you are all doing well these days. Given that I will be working from home most of the time, I realize that I don't really need a portable source and am thinking I could probably get a better bang-for-buck source if I went non-portable. However, I have 0 knowledge in this realm and...

    Took the plunge and gave the Odin's another chance. Just waiting on my order to be shipped but I should get them soon. 1. What are your favorite albums, tracks, compilations to listen with the Odin? I listen to pretty much anything but usually prefer jazz, classical, and techno. 2. I...

    Am thankful for this super cool community. Met a super nice fellow HFier earlier that let me try his Odins and I let him try my Phantoms and DX200Ti+AMP8Ex. We both have the LX so had a common reference point. I was looking for something that had u12t level treble detail. Was pleasantly...
