The Legend X and A12t are a great pairing. It is what I use now, although I do still have my Angie II. I may sell it.
Where do you place the Angie within the others?

Two things to say:

- New kids in the house!

- Found the perfect replacement for my beloved IER-Z1r, even better, perfect fit and a bit more mid as I wanted. Couldn't be happier!

Thanks EE! Amazing support from @Devon Higgins and Austin

They look great, enjoy them! I got the brushed gold on my recent EE IEMs as well.

Phantom's sweet spot is the timbre in the middle. Zeus's sweet spot is 3D transparency with no one area being more prevalent than any other. Also, Phantom's vocals are thicker and Zeus's are clearer.
The Phantom's timbre is nice, and its bass is nice, but to me it was veiled and didn't have enough upper end. The Zeus can seem thin to some people and may have too little bottom and too much top. It also depends on what you listen to, as the Zeus will not add anything to the sound as mastered and the Phantom will. I liked the Phantom, but not enough to keep it.

i sometimes turn down the bass a bit when listening with my WM1A , so i guess zeus bass is more than enough for my taste

besides , this combo of transparency (without sounding clinical/thin , the zeus mids are great) and precise pinpoint imaging

yeah , phantom does not seem like my kind of signature

Good on you Mate, looks like you have good taste. :)
They look even better personally.

Hey guys, did anyone hear the legend x vs bravado that can give me a comparison?

I tried searching but no real comparisons...
The Bravado is a lot like a baby version of the Legend X; the Legend X has more detailed and powerful bass and significantly more detailed and sparkly highs, but the overall "feel" is pretty similar. The Bravado is super impressive for a dual driver.

Yeah, the Bravado really is impressive.

Not sure I would want it as my only iem as the balance can be overwhelming with some music but it sure is fun to have when you want that awesome bass.

They don't really belong in the same conversation, but that makes sense given that they're both in the same product lineup and one's 3x the price of the other.

Baby Legend X is a good description of the Bravado - it's a solid V-shaped hybrid with good bass and treble. The Legend X just takes everything about the Bravado and takes it up several notches. Better lows, better highs, much higher resolution, etc.

Does anyone know if lg v30 can power the Legend X well?
I didn't have problem with my Galaxy S10e and V30 has more power, so I don't think will be a problem. Let's see the other's opinions.

Thanks @mr.karmalicious and @BananaOoyoo

I'm looking at crin's graph and the bravado should have deeper bass and higher highs? Especially at 5k where legend x dips. In my head, I would have thought they wouldn't sound similar..

I had a chance to listen to bravado and was really impressed by the bass but I would also think long term listening would be tiresome. So I was curious to what the legend x sound is with less bass but the 5k dip may or may not be a good thing?
