Is it possible to get the X in custom?

How do the X and Annihilator compare to A18t w/regard to brightness?

I typically prefer signatures lile A18t and while I havent hesrd EXT yet, I liked Elysium a lot but wished it had more bass. This tends to make me think I would like X more than Annihilator.

Physical limitation of the design makes it impossible to make the X custom. I've talked to Lee about this before and these are his words.

"If the physical design can't allow it, then it can't be done, no matter how sporadic the line is drawn."

Thus, X is only available in universal.

It is not possible to get X in custom. Furthermore, X has been discontinued (had a chat with Lee a couple of weeks ago).

“Too difficult and troublesome to make for me and currently no successor planned”
Ya that sounds like something Mr Lee would say haha

I wonder if Crin's updated rating for the Annihilator and X also influenced it

That's the downside of these one man shops making custom products. Too bad.

!! Didn't know that. Glad I picked one up when I did. Can't imagine it will be long until there is a successor though.

Lee has also told me that X will be discontinued and he will be releasing some new IEM’s in a lower price bracket. Looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.

You and me both :thumbsup:I guess that would be the ultimate statement of craftmanship to be able to bring the same magic at a lower price point.

For sure! Lee definitely knows how to tune. I’m sure whatever he makes will sound great :)
