I have flex on my LX. Nothing on Fourte, JH Rosie or Senn IE800. I am confident it is not a problem.

I get driver flex on my Bravados as well, but only when inserting or significantly adjusting them. I also get driver flex on my Solaris, again when inserting or adjusting them. I'm not worried as it's a known effect of having a dynamic driver. I also learned about the vent holes on X series from reading the forum here. I was comparing my Bravados to my Phantoms and noticed that difference.

Curious if anyone here has owned the Apollo X. Reviews are rather limited for it compared to Zeus.

3 years ago I became an audiophile cause I purchased the shure se846 was an amazing buy at that time.

When I baught phantom I was thinking to replace se846 and it will be an end game lol.

Nope it never stoped there )
Now I whant an Iem with a Dynamic driver oohh well )

Also keep an eye on new daps. Waiting for that dap with desktop performance.

Cayin N8 is epique with LX

Yeah.. and they're pretty quiet. Heavy bass notes would cause more woofer excursion than those little pops..
They're made to accommodate insertion but bass note excursion is not even close. Flex happens when your eardrum and the driver have run out of normal excursion.

Just want to indicate how happy I am with the abalone faceplates... I was cleaning these off last night after listening and before bed, and I couldn't help but stare at them for a bit. :|

@Colors just got an update from Charles. He's expecting them around Wednesday next week. More concrete date once Empire ships them.

Time to demo gear I can’t afford :)

Btw, when do you usually go to HFS anyways? Maybe we can demo each other’s stuff.
