Nope, but I'll end up buying one of the three big ones next month. Thummim, by reviews, seems to be tuned more on the fun side of things, and Odin seems more balanced, same as Erl I guess. So I'm assuming these two would complement each other.

I was on the tour and I’ve gotta say that I wasn’t impressed much with the Thummim given the price tag, I thought the legend X did a lot of things better. The only quality that stood out to me was bass texture. I would advise to try before you buy with the Thummim.

Oh wow! Well I would love to try out but sadly it's not that easy in my country. I think I also missed the EU tour of that.

This think is balanced and fun. I haven’t heard Zeus in a spell and the Odins need to break in. These mids seem honest and lush so far. The detail is already outstanding irt layering. Break in should give more micro and macro detail as well as better impact and breadth around the notes. Even in the current form they simply amazing already. Didn’t expect this. I quickly went upstairs earlier to hear them on the better gear and it was night and day. This is the first full spectrum IEM that I’ve heard that’s fun, but still musical and doesn’t make any part of the music stand out. Loving the balance. That’s not changing with break in I don’t think. Let’s see.

Odin seems like an improved Zeus XR - Better bass (DD) , probably better highs (estat) , and @twister6 also mentioned that mids sound zeus-like , and it also plays well with every genre (just like Zeus XR does)

and if you sell the cable , Odin price falls to Zeus XR levels , so this feels like a bargain to me

This is the first iem that has really piqued my interest , since i got Zeus XR (back in 2017)
Selling the 1960s simply because the iems is too expensive to stomach the price tag, seems a bit silly to me. You're buying a new one for the same price anyways.

Anyone who has used a 1960 knows what it can do. And the Odin was tuned to work with it.

Of course, there is the old saying, if you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it.

Look at proedros sig, he already has 1960 2wire cable :wink: thus an overlap for him.

... sorry, been MIA from this thread, finally got back power and internet after the tropic storm that hit us on east coast early this week.

Agree, I won’t sell the 1960 once you decide to buy odin at the beginning.

especially when you look at the splitter:heart_eyes:

Ha, there's no such thing as overlap with Cardas copper cables. You can never have too many, especially if you're going for multi iems.

If anything Proedros should sell the existing one. The Odin one is uniqueeeee
