Jewellery level of unboxing experience for Centurion Owners. Really Top class unboxing experience. With that said I think there can be a bit area of improvement to improve the quality of life for Centurion owners. That is to include the Con X Plastic container box. So we weill not have to unbox the entire box to access the interchangable con x parts.

What is the X?

At Effect Audio, we believe the X is for Crossroads.

Crossroads represent new beginnings, new dimensions, and new opportunities. It is a chance for us to explore new directions and try new things. To boldly go where we have not gone before.

More details to be revealed in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

With all due respect, I am really struggling to extrapolate anything from this review. I don’t think anyone with a VE7 or SoftEars RS10 is going to be buying a centurion for those IEMs. There’s also not a single comparison to any other TOTL cable? How do you say “if you want the best cable money can buy” that you should get the centurion when there isn’t even a single comparison to any other cable?

I can’t wait to see some actual consumer impressions on this, those of us that have our eyes on this cable already own “TOTL” IEMs, and don’t plan to pair it with sub $2k offerings as buying a cable that’s double the cost of your actual IEM just makes no sense.

Reviews like this are a slap in the face to potential buyers.

If you have knowledge about any other IEM cable at this price level, let me know, so I can compare. Wait, I can't. Because even if there's a 3999$ cable around in the market, I don't have it, so I still can't compare.

How people tend to think that review editors have every possible product in the market is beyond me. And believe it or not, not every reviewer has 6k$ IEMs in their possession. So I have to test the cable with what I have.

Besides, there's no such rule that you have to match your test equipment's price with the product, or there's no common proportion about that. And also, some IEMs reflect a cable's character better than others, regardless of their price. The VE7 is a great example as well as the SA50.

I tested the cable with what I have, and that doesn't make my comments invalid. I shared the cable's effect over the sound and its technicalities. That's what matters. And that's what WILL matter.

I compared the cable with other cables in the market without mentioning models in the article. And my article's main point is that this cable gives you everything. And no cable I've ever heard matches this performance. Maybe you should not read reviews with only prices in mind, and focus on the main point of the articles.

Or maybe you think that only you're capable of testing this cable's performance just because you have the Traillii. I don't think you can compare the Centurion to any cable around, because it's above all others.

Hence, my main point in the review.

PW Orpheus, even EA’s own Horus Octa is $600 cheaper, at this price point $600 isn’t much when it comes to a TOTL cable. People buy these cables for long term use.

Wait, I can't. Because even if there's a 3999$ cable around in the market, I don't have it, so I still can't compare.

I’m sorry but what good is comparing the cable to other models if you don’t tell us what you are comparing?

Maybe you should not read reviews with only prices in mind, and focus on the main point of the articles.

This is a $4000 cable, if you think you can just disregard that and read a review only then I don’t know what to say there.

Or maybe you think that only you're capable of testing this cable's performance just because you have the Traillii.

Do you really not have something better than a VE7 to use? You guys review tons of stuff. I’d be willing to bet not a single VE7 owner has any interest in a Centurion. The pairings just don’t even make sense to me.

I don't think you can compare the Centurion to any cable around, because it's above all others.

Hence, my main point in the review.

Ah, there we go. ”This is the best, go buy it if you can afford it!” Love to see it.

It would have been nice just to see SOME comparisons to the other flagship cables you guys have reviewed from the same brand…

@aaf evo I concur. Guess you can rely on this review instead. It has comparisons with PW Orpheus, Plussound PPH 8, Effect Code 51, Effect Horus X & Eletech Aeneid as well as pairing with TOTL IEMs such as Traillii, Erlkonig, Fourte & Odin. Pairing a TOTL cable with a mid-fi IEM is quite an insult to the cable. No mid-fi IEM owners will want to pair their IEM with a cable that cost more than twice their IEM's price.

The main thing that's lacking from the review in my opinion are comparisons with EA's previous flagships, Code 51 & Horus. What makes Centurion better than those two? And why should anyone consider upgrading? For me personally, that is the most crucial information and would make or break a potential purchase of Centurion. I'm surprised Headfonia wouldnt have access to those two cables considering they've been reviewed previously.

Also, some very bold claims made in the conclusion: "if you have the budget, you can get the Centurion and never ever lookout for an upgrade cable. Case closed, as it performs incredibly with every IEM. It takes them to the highest level, improves every aspect of sound, and the overall performance is simply astonishing."

No offence, but this whole review has a very informercial feel to it.

I guess you don't know that HFN has 5 and sometimes 6 writers, located all around the world in different countries and even continents. Those articles weren't written by the same author.

Your thesis about the "price" doesn't matter. That's not how audio works. There's no such rule or obligation.

I don't have a single one of those you mentioned, so it's not possible to compare. I think you have to accept that every writer doesn't have every release. You don't have to read HFN or any other website if you don't believe they're honest. HFN is attacked by many people in the past about shilling and etc. and that's fine. It's your opinion. So don't read our articles. Simple as that.

I can go on with you guys forever because this is not the first time some self-righteous Head-Fi lowkey accused me of being dishonest or shilling a product. But I need to stop it here because I don't want to drive this topic somewhere else from what it's meant, and I respect the work of the guys at EA.

I think when more people test the cable, more opinions will be shared and some consensus about it will be reached.

Thank you.

Then maybe Headfonia should get the cables to the same people to keep some consistency and provide better content.

“Self righteous” … lol. Not at all. I pay for my stuff, I would like to see effect audio give review samples to people that actually provide meaningful content rather than what I just read above. Give me a $4000 cable for free and I will say it’s the best thing you can buy too.

The absence of any comparisons to any TOTL cable, or well, any cable at any price point do make the whole review a little… out of place I guess

I do get the whole “not having tried other cables” point, but if you haven’t used stuff by Eletech, PW, or even previous EA offerings, there’s probably someone better suited at Headfonia to evaluate a 4000$ flagship? It would be kind of similar to me getting into a Ferrari and trying to evaluate whether it’s worth buying when I’ve driven BMW SUVs my whole life
