Beta testers and reviewers who gave their honest feedback to help improve our R&D and of course our users and supporters of Effect Audio. Many campaigns and activities would not have been possible without the support of you guys!

THANK YOU!​

Used this pairing when I reviewed the VE5 and Lionheart, and it is extraordinarily good. Definitely one of my favourite pairings, so somebody is going to be very lucky indeed!

I am eyeing the Ve5 for awhile and almost ready to order but realize that I am awaiting the EE Phantoms coming soon.

I really miss the sound of the VE5, as I thought they were really quite special. They would sit near the top of my wish list if it were not for the fact that I am still reluctant to give CIEMs another try and Vision Ears does not offer them as universals (despite the demo shells being extremely high quality). My main consolation is that I have the Phantom and that those with Leonidas II is another extraordinarily good pairing.

hey @Wyville how does VE5 sound in general - bass monster ? mid love ? clarity power ?

on another EA matter , i put ares ii (8w) back in my Zeus XR , which is a great pair with XR

i think that this is the end of the line for buys for me , wm1a+XR + eos/lionheart/ares ii , are a very decent setup

more buys if/when we win a lottery , looks like upgraditis is dormant at last

Aka "Endgame". I know that feeling of relief though.Having the AK SE100 in my chain and literally having the cost of my setup at ~5600 Cdn, I'm not hearing the siren calls anymore. That is until either Zeus or SE100 goes on the fritz, of EA deciding to drop something more glorious than Leo II.

What's the turn around time if you order the Leo II ?

The VE5 are all about the mids and have a very charateristic sound that is on the edge between musical and clinical. It is very restrained yet capable of rendering tangible emotions in solo performances. I felt they were real specialists and brighter in tonality, but still very smooth. Lionheart adds a little bit of warmth to give the VE5 an exceptionally refined natural tonality.

Too bad VE doesn't do universals. I'd gladly give them a try consider I have more cables than IEMs currently.

Merry Christmas to all the Headfiers!!! Celebrate with the ones you love...

It is indeed a shame that the only universals they offer are the Erlkönig, while the demo units are actually incredibly good. VE have some really special sounding IEMs, each one with a distinct character. Hopefully the Erlkönig is a first step towards VE offering more (and more affordable) universal IEMs.

And of course... Happy holidays to everyone!
