Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

The Zeus was TOTL and it has a balanced, transparent, extremely detailed sound. Almost reference. Not enough bass for a lot of people. The LX was TOTL and it is entirely different from the Zeus. Very bass-centric, very smooth. Some folks find detail in there, I surely couldn't. Too much bass for a lot of people. The Wraith was TOTL, and seemed to be more like the Zeus, with very modern tech and a bit more bass. For whatever reason(s), with all its new tech, it didn't please a lot of people. If I had to guess, and I am guessing, I would think that the Odin will have a lot of what the Zeus has, but with more warmth at the lower end and perhaps a bit less upper end. Maybe a more successful Wraith. It surely won't be a bass monster like the LX, there's no reason to do that. And it won't be a replacement for the Zeus, there's no reason to do that. With all the new tech EE is making and implementing, I expect something balanced and nimble. Personally, I am curious to see what they come up with and, if it sounds interesting, I might give it a try.

This thread is getting funnier than ever with the Odin speculation

I agree with @olddude. Odin won't be as much of a bass monster as LX, as per my conversation with Jack a few weeks ago. They are aiming for it to be an allrounder. But, knowing EE, it'll probably still pack a punch

Not sure about funnier, but the thread is definitely fun! For example, one person already guessed the driver config. And some expectations are not too far off :wink: Ok, back to listening to ODIN, gotta finish that review soon...

Looks like Linus of Headfonia had a listen to the Odin already.
Looking forward to the review!

fair curiosity from my side... Why everyone is teasing 1st of August as Odin Release?

Did I miss anything or is part of the whole (fun) conspiracy around this thread?

ps.: i'm taking my wallet to a psychologist next week...looks like it is suffering from anxiety. :)
