I am in a place that I have never been before and I am not sure if I belong; scared but intrigued at the same time. The Empire Ears gear tour on head-fi has been an eye opening experience for me on so many levels. I want to thank @Barra and Empire Ears for this tour and allowing me to take part in it.
My experience with gear of this price point is very limited. On my YouTube channel I have reviewed a couple of iFi Audio dac/amps over 1k in price. Majority of my listening of gear over 1k has been limited to Axpona and audio meets. I have only heard Empire Audio products once before and that was the Legend X at Axpona. The most expensive IEM I own is the ADV M5-1D which cost $400. So needless to say, I have nothing of significance to compare the Empire Ears to in either my personal gear or from listening experiences.
I am not good with explaining technology so I will let Empire Ears do it for you:

With all that being said, here is my attempt at reviewing the Empire Ears Wraith.
Packaging and Presentation:
The Wraith packaging and presentation is basically the same as the Valkyrie (Copy and Paste enabled). The presentation when you open the box is just phenomenal after you remove the outer sleeve. The small jewelry box opens up to reveal a slip cover envelope that contains some warranty paperwork, a cleaning cloth and a cleaning tool. Below that the Wraith sit glistening with the purple faceplate staring up at you. Attached to the Wraith you will find the Effect Audio cable. Opening up the drawer you will locate the arrangement of Final E type silicone tips fitted into an aluminum carry tray. Also included is a Pandora carry case that is heavy duty.
All in all, I find that the presentation is top notch and even though the included accessories are limited in quantity, they are not limited in quality.
Build and Design:
Everything that is included with the Wraith from the box, the accessories and the IEM are built with incredible craftsmanship and basically the same as the Valkyrie (Copy and Paste enabled). The Pandora carry case is heavy, thick and solid but is so smooth to screw together; the padding inside is well thought out and placed so that it doesn’t allow the Wraith to slip around but yet doesn’t hold them too tight. The tip carry tray is similar to the one provided by RHA with the T20. The edges of the carry tray are smooth and the cutouts for the tips are the perfect size. The Effect Audio cable is the nicest IEM cable I have held in my hand; even nicer than the included cable of the Valkyrie. Tangle free, light but durable, perfect amount of tension on the ear hooks and beautiful to look at. The Wraith themselves are masterpieces; the faceplate glistens in the light and changes tones depending on the angle. The shape of the shell is small and light. The shell is a bit larger than the Valkyrie and has a slight difference in shape but it is very hard to see in pictures. I actually prefer the shape of the Wraith to the Valkyrie; I find that it fits my ears just a tad better. The universal fit shows off the expertise that Empire Ears have mastered over the years.
Overall, the build and design is magnificent and Empire Ears has created an IEM that is gorgeous to behold.
Fit and Comfort:
The Empire Ears Wraith is one of the more comfortable universal IEM I have had the pleasure of using. The curves and angles of the shell fit my ears with precision; the nozzle length is long enough for me to be able to adequately fit in my ear canal and not have them slipping around when using the medium Final E tips. I have listened to the Wraith for 8 hours at a time without any pain or discomfort. Getting the right tip size does matter and will greatly impact the sound if you have too loose of a fit and seal.
I do not see the fit and comfort being an issue for most listeners. These are one of the most comfortable IEM I have used. I actually find them to be slightly more comfortable then the Valkyrie.
With all that out of the way, let's get to the meat and potatoes of the review.
Sound:
The Empire Ears Wraith are an 11 driver beauty; that is 7 balanced armatures and 4 electrostatics.
Technical Specifications
4 Electrostatic Drivers
7 Proprietary Empire Balanced Armature Drivers
2 Low, 3 Mid, 2 High, 4 Super-High
EIVEC - Empire Intelligent Variable Electrostatic Control

Impedance: 4 ohms @ 1kHz
Frequency Response: 20 Hz - 100kHz
Sensitivity 117dB @ 1kHz, 1mW
UPOCC 26AWG Handcrafted Cable by Effect Audio
Cable noise:
There is not even a smidgen of cable noise when there is no music flowing, the Wraith and Effect Audio cable are as quiet as a church mouse.
Isolation:
Outside noises are isolated fairly well, I can still hear my keyboard clicks lightly in the background but I have no complaints. I find that the Wraith seals and isolates just a smidge better then the Valkyrie.
Bass:
I personally like a more linear bass that has great extension and detail but at times I have been known to enjoy a bassy IEM or two. The Wraith is what I would consider to be my favored bass signature. Not bombastic and thunderous like the Valkyrie but detailed, extended, fast, lively and never overpowering the rest of the mix. The bass is under control, cutting through the details precisely like Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari weaving his way thru traffic to a podium finish. The bass is effortless and airy but includes all the excitement and energy that flows through an orchestra. When the kettle drums are rolling and the brass is blaring and bass strings are plucked and strummed everything sounds cohesive and immersive. Each note is delicately and precisely displayed. The tonality and timbre accuracy is beautiful to hear in all of its glory.
Mids:
The Wraith has mids that are even and balanced until you get to the upper mids region that climbs and then merges with the lower treble. The wraith is full of details and brings out a romantic lushness that is both easy to listen to and easy to dissect at the same time. Vocals, acoustic instruments, piano’s, brass and woodwind and percussion are all on display and are on their best behaviour. Everything flows naturally together and plays with ease. There is an airy character to the mids that makes the music sound natural.Timbre and tonality are well represented. Details are presented in a friendly way, like a waiter bringing your sirloin steak on a silver platter with a smiling face because he is confident you will enjoy what is on the plate. There is not a hint of sibilance or harshness on the Wraith. Unlike the Valkyrie, the mids are balanced and even and well controlled.
Treble:
The Wraith has an engaging treble to bless your ears. I love a well extended treble with details that are resolved and smooth. The Wraith is a slight disappointment with the treble at times. I love how it extends and has energy and air to keep you engaged but it does have moments of just needing a tad more. The Wraith has a little touch of laid backness to it and every now and then it will sound to chill. The treble on the Wraith is full of life and details. Resolution of the Wraith is incredible, not a sniff of harshness around. Light and airy the treble is but it is also cohesive and controlled. Just like Gianpiero Lambase can fine tune the car for Sebastian Vettel at the racetrack the treble of the Wraith is tuned in a fashion that it gets the optimum out of those 4 electrostat drivers and fits into the tuning with the 7 balanced armature drivers as one well trained F1 team and presents a pleasurable experience to the ears.
Soundstage/Imaging:
When I was in college I attended lots of orchestra concerts and operas. I alway liked to sit towards the front and be able to see the orchestra pit and feel the singers power as they bellowed out across the stage. The Valkyrie is like sitting in the front row behind the orchestra pit or in the mosh pit. On the other hand, the Wraith is like my second favorite seating position, front row, middle seat, of the balcony. From there you get a beautiful view of the stage with all the sounds coming at you from all directions, enveloping you in an awe inspiring thrill session of musical bliss. Details are abundant, placement is precise, depth and layering is impressive and the width is fantastic; the Wraith puts you in the seat when the ticket wasn’t available for purchase. The Valkyrie subwoofer is like a subwoofer front and center on stage with it’s controlled power and authority. The Wraith is like a subwoofer is placed discreetly on stage to blend in with the rest of the mix. The soundstage of the Wraith is special and I haven’t heard such a beautiful soundstage on any other IEM.
Comparisons:
Well as I said in my introduction I do not have much to compare the Empire Ears Wraith with but I will offer a few thoughts on my current favorite IEM’s.
Meze Rai Solo:
The Rai Solo has a brighter, more airy sound than the Wraith. The bass doesn’t extend as far and wide nor is it similar in impact and punch that the Wraith offers you. The mids on the Meze are even and balanced but lack in resolution in comparison. The upper mids and lower treble are less controlled on the Meze and are more assertive then the Wraith. Soundstage has similar width on the Meze but it lacks the immersive depth and layering of the Wraith. Build and comfort is top notch on the Meze and I would have a hard time deciding between the two which I prefer. Overall, the Meze Rai Solo brings a lot to the table for the price but when compared to an IEM that is 14x the price the difference is noticeable.
ADV M5-1D:
The ADV M5-1D beryllium driver shows off some impressive bass prowess but it even lacks when compared to the Wraith. The M5-1D has a deep and detailed bass that is a lot slower in decay but is more punchy than the Wraith. Mids are not as even and balanced then the Wraith and do not resolve as well. The treble has a bit more energy on the top end but lacks resolution. The soundstage is larger on the ADV but the placement is lacking when compared to the Wraith; the ADV is a medium size step back when it comes to depth and layering. Build is excellent on the M5-1D but the Wraith feels more premium. Fit is more comfortable on the Wraith. Overall, the ADV M5-1D brings a lot to the table for the price but when compared to an IEM that is 9x the price the difference is noticeable.
Empire Ears Valkyrie:
The Valkyrie has bombastic, thunderous bass compared to the lighter, detailed approach of the Wraith. The mids are uneven and have upper mid assertiveness on the Valkyrie compared to the even and balanced less assertive upper mid on the Wraith. Treble is more extended and forward on the Valkyrie compared to the light, airy and laidback approach of the Wraith. Soundstage of the Valkyrie is more on the intimate front row of the stage with a subwoofer directly in front of you whereas the Wraith is front row of the balcony where you can see the whole stage and hear each and every detail.
