Edited with more impressions

So far compared to my LXSE it has more air and faster attack in the bass, though the LXSE is smoother and I find that bass texture is richer.

Look forward to hearing the final tuning…
That sounds good.

I'm gonna err on the side of caution and not have an expectation at all.

I never did figure out if the BCD actually does anything on the MEST.

Lets see what magic Empire has eeked out this time.

You and me! I just ordered my custom LX rofl! But if I were to consider the EVO, I’d need the bass to be more than LX. Otherwise my current IEMs should satisfy my other music preferences
Don't get me wrong, the fact that something new (and potentially better) is out - does not mean my LX would sound worse...
It's all about me not having the choice to decide. Just bad timing on my behalf - stings for a minute, but I will still enjoy my new LX for a long time to come! :)

Bone conduction or not just the drivers themselves are a noteworthy upgrade imho...I loved how they sounded on the Bravado MKii.

It's been a hell of a journey developing this thing and to be frank we almost gave up. Superseding the highly acclaimed Legend X seemed like a near impossible task but we went outside the box and what we've achieved is absolutely extraordinary. I cannot wait for you all to experience the EVO because it does things that no other IEM on the market can. Stay tuned for the full unveiling in the coming weeks my friends.

Wow! That's one hell of an entrance @Jack Vang. It's just made everything else announced at this show irrelevant to me. Without assuming anything, I just hope the tuning is similar to LX, and that the shell size is the same too. Everything else screams 'must have'. I always said that the only thing that'll get me to sell my LX is a better LX, so let's see if this is it. Can't wait for impressions and reviews of the final tuning. Well done guys!

When people said they loved the head shaking with their LX low end… @Jack Vang took it seriously. “do you think that is shaking… Hold my beer.”

Here are the eartips I've tried so far with the Odin:

More Bass -----> Less Bass (But more clarity)

Spiral Dots Regular, Spiral Dots++, AZLA SednaEarfit, Symbio Peels, - - - - - - - - - Final E tips (Final E tips are probably one of the least bassy eartips I've tried ever)

I feel like the Symbio or the AZLA are the sweetspot for me. I would probably go as far as the SD++ if I really wanted a little more bass but then I start to lose some holographic effect and clarity, which was the main thing I was looking for in the Odin. It really depends on your preferences, source, and music.

For my LX, I prefer to pair with the SD++, in general.

Thanks alot for the ear tip suggestions. I will try and source them and give it a try.
