Soooo I’ve had my Legend X for a few hours now and here are my preliminary thoughts and impressions:

1. Well, the bass. Let’s face it - that’s the first thing you’ll notice when you play the LX for the first time - I generally speaking don’t care too much about bass but boy am I loving it in the LX. The one and only IEM that can draw my attention to the bass and do so in a fun and enjoyable manner
2. The level of technicality, but above all, the separation. The LX could never get away with this much bass if it weren’t perfectly separated from the midrange and treble. As I had stated in my impressions from the canjam, the LX maintains excellent clarity despite the sheer quantity of bass
3. The soundstage - extremely wide, more so than deep I’d say. Pretty refreshing since most new TOTLs focus on depth instead of width and I’ve started missing a properly wide and big soundstage.
4. The fit - maybe I should’ve mentioned that first, as those are the only UIEMs that I’ve put in my ears and thought, “well this is ****ing perfect” - absolutely amazing
5. In terms of shape, I’d say it’s hard to define the LX. I don’t think it has enough treble to be called an outright V, maybe more of an L? Warm and slightly dark I’d say, but paired with the plus sound silver + gold cable I’ve been able to add some more treble to the mix and loving it even more
6. The absolute reference for pop, rock, hip hop, altrock and other similar genres. Nothing I’ve heard comes close to what the LX delivers
7. I’ll definitely wait a while before reviewing. It’s an IEM that is extremely fun and easy to like, but I am not sure just how much of that can be attributed to a honeymoon


A huge thank you to @Paul Zhang for the delayed BF discount and the swift delivery of the LX! :)

Very excited to be trying it out with different EA cables and maybe get a Horus to pair it with

My New Years wish would be to be able to trial some of the EA cables in my home so that I could see which one is best for my set up before I look to purchase. My nearest distributor is HifiHeadphones in Susses UK. Is there a possibility that this could happen?

Maybe you can have a chat with @Oscar-HiFi to see if you might possibly borrow a demo unit? I honestly don’t know if they do that sort of thing, but Oscar is a great guy and very helpful in my experience. (I think I bought the first EA cable HiFiHeadphones sold. :wink:)

Good idea. I wasn't sure if EA had to authorise this or if it was down to the actual distributor.

Is anyone able to compare the EA Cleopatra with the PW Audio 2 wire & 4 wire?

Im looking to see which has the better bass, mids clarity and ideally not to high/harsh a treble.

Any particular cable you are looking for? Maybe we can make this wish comes true:)

The code 51 is the best cable I've ever had providing the intense separation in grand scale. Great job EA! One concern I have is about the titanium part in the middle
which is a little heavy on ears, which I am hoping that I will get used to...

Glad to hear you love it congrats become a CODE 51 owner!!! And thanks for the feedback, we have tried hard to make it a reasonable weight, will definitely take note of that when we design the next product :)
My wish - plugs that match the splits :wink:

Thanks Michael, you mean your Cleo Octa and Leo II+Cleo Octa right :)

Yeah I’d say heritage and hall of fame could really benefit from plugs with unique designs :)

I can imaging how sick that Horus will looks like if a Rose Gold Design Connector and plug, thanks for the suggestion.
I agree, it would be drop dead gorgeous!

The cleopatra could have a square silver plug similar to the case shape, etc etc :)

The three that I would love to try are; Cleopatra, Lionidas II, and Horus.

My set-up would be: 64 Audio Trio >> 'new cable' >> Cayin N6ii : and so I am am looking for something that would fit in nicely with this.
