Just a shame I can’t afford both :frowning2:
Not a shame at all. Unfortunately these are not the best days to do some audiction to help deciding. Keep an eye on the sale/trade area for used ones.

I think the Valky is a nice IEM with good highs and lows.

Yeah, TBH I’d be reliant on a trade plus cash my end which I can’t see happening. Like you say though, I’m not slumming it with the Valkyrie.

I really hate to do this...but just to speculate a bit about the Odin...if @Jack Vang and the folks at EE remain true to Norse mythology, the Odin should build upon the Valkyrie (in Norse mythology Valkyries served the god Odin).
So, I'd bet for sure EST + BA + W9. Just depends on the exact number of each and overall tuning. Maybe another 7-8 driver? 2 EST, 2 W9, 3-4 BA?
Sorry to play this game...and I apologize if this has all been endlessly discussed already.

If it indeed is an EST-based tri-brid it will sound pretty distinct versus the LX (I have the Valk and LX and find them to be quite different)...

So
Snagged a silver SE :) so now there’s two Legend X’s incoming. RIP wallet :dizzy_face: will do a comparison and sell one

so...impressions of the LX SE? Eager to hear your thoughts. Especially vs 2020 and OG LX once you receive it

Let's just say we utilized every weapon in our arsenal PLUS some to make this project happen :)

LX is our best selling model and I anticipate it'll remain in our top 3 for a hot minute.

Hasnt arrived yet unfortunately :frowning2: shipping is slow these days. But will definitely share a comparison between the two and the Solaris & Z1R :D

For those that are into cables, what’s a recommended cable upgrade for the LX? Or will the stock EA cable be best?
