Glad you liked it. It is freaking beautiful. Can you post another pic showing the translucent shell? Curious of that.

I will tomorrow. The Phantom sounds better than I remembered. Faith Hill was the first artist to which I listened and she sounded so good. It is also my best isolating CIEM as it does not have a vent like Legend X or Apex like my 64 Audio A12t.

As I know Drop Zeus is made of material like plastic not acrílic custom made like EE. Drop will warranty not EE I guess. Zeus has 3 kinds as advertised by EE before and sounds more brighter than other recent EE.
I had used Drop Zeus for 9 months which I paid 1k$.

Compared with Stax 009S driven by KGSSHv Carbon amp and Sennheiser HD 800S driven by Chord Dave and HMS, it sounds more lively and little bit bright.

But with Youtube music or Amazon out of town, it sound right with good details and enough pop.

Drop Zeus at 750$ is a good value.

For those of you who owned a pair of Legend X, if you have a chance going to Canjam or meet Effect Audio at any show or stores. You must demo the Effect Audio CODE 51 cable. It adds so much depth to the Legend X and I never heard such a holographic sound stage with other cable pairing. Such a cool pairing, even though many of us may not have an out of the mind budget for a cable, but please give the CODE 51 a try and it will definitly make you say “Wow” when you hear it.


PS: or "Wow thats expensive" when you look at the price tag.

For $2400 I would hope it would light my cigarette after "finishing" me, and I don't even smoke

My first picture posted has the translucent shell showing. I brightened it up below.

that looks nice, you can see the internals. The gold one looks like the Japanese Special Edition LX.

Look very nice. Did they fit as well as your lx ciem? I think you mentioned they used the impressions on file.
