This is a better combo than I anticipated, ZEN Signature stack with HD6XX EQ switch on. A different flavor which strangely works for me haha.

No LL Venom?

I just let my X go to its new owner. I love the IEM but the shell is too large for me and makes me fidget with the fit too much, which is why I went for an Annihilator in CIEM form. Wish the X was offered as CIEM too but it is not, oh well.

I have Venom but I prefer the cable pictured for ergonomics reasons. The iems disappear in my ear with this cable whereas venom weighs down the iems like the PW Audio Attila did for Mason FS. The Venom is comfortable enough (and amazing build quality) but I prefer cables which 'disappear' and I'm ok with the small hit in sound quality.

Yeah I agree about the Venom, it's also a part of the reason I find myself fidgeting with the X so much. The weight of the cable tugging on the size of the IEM is just a bit too much for me.

Hmm. Was the Venom weightier, heftier/bulkier than the Orpheus (shielded version)?

Nice. I'm changing everything up and going for the x. Wish you still had your x for sale lol

I believe @bluestorm1992 has one for sale.

Good choice, you won’t be disappointed. If he ever decides to offer it in CIEM and somehow can make it fit for me (I have tiny ears) I’ll be the first one on the list to buy.

oh man...lol.

venom is light and rubbery.

orphy is like hanging a boa constrictor from your ears.

Haha! I must have stiff ears and strong neck, didn't feel the Orpheus was wearing me down. Though I must say, I am more conscious of the cable on the Traillii than the Annihilator; I think it has to with the custom fit and the Annihilator being a larger heavier IEM. The Traillii is much smaller and lighter, hence more disproportionate with the Orpheus, not to mention a universal, offering a not-as-good fit as a custom, works better with lighter, more pliant cables. Make sense?
