Best pairing I’ve tried so far! Although I’m kinda wishing I got the 4 wire variant (if there is no loss in SQ)... the 8 wire or “+” version can get uncomfortable over long listening sessions.

I’m thinking of giving one a try the 4 wire version.where did you purchase yours from ?
I bought it from accessory jack. Pretty fast delivery too.
Is that the Loki, @Tristy?
They have none
Did you message them to check?They have none
Yes the Loki+ 8 wire. They have the Saladin and Xerxes as well I think, not sure about the century series though. I had read that the Loki was the most technical out of that bunch of cables while infusing some copper warmth (70% silver, 30% copper alloy from memory). Took the plunge and blind bought it and it paid off (for my tastes).
It's really surprisingly good, the performance from the 2.5mm balanced is far superior than the single ended. It pairs very well with the Solaris, I originally bought it as a convenient player that I didn't have to use the iematch with for the Solaris (I didn't like how it changed the SQ), expecting it to be significantly worse in terms of SQ to the cube but its not the case. With the SR25 the Solaris sounds more detailed, has better layering (putting this down to the lack of hiss vs the Cube) and has tighter bass. The Cube sounds more analogue, holographic with a bigger soundstage in comparison but the hiss is too much without the iematch. With the Legend X it's a completely different story, the SR25 sounds congested and narrow in comparison to the cube and the bass seems to bleed more into the rest of the FR, it sounds like a completely different set of IEM's on the Cube. I guess this is just a testament to how many factors can come into play and should be considered when reading peoples impressions.

Oh wow...so the SR25 has a blacker background than the Cube? That's great info thank-you.
Oh yeah, feels much more dynamic thanks to the cleaner background. There is a very slight hiss when the music is paused but its barely noticeable.
jumped on thIs tip train yesterday - went past an audio shop whilst out and about.
they had a three pairs sample pack for a decent price (compared to some of the other prices about).
great fit and isolation - still deciding on the sound.

I really love everything about these. The sound, the comfort and the look. I’ve fallen asleep with them and the Solaris in my ears 2 times now, I’ve only ever been able to do this with my Customs in the past.
The heat up time is interesting as it forms to the ears.
the sub bass and bass seem a bit woolly and uncontrolled at first until they heat up.
love the fit and isolation.
also no more adjusting the fit so much as with some earphones and tips
