For a new flagship, the EVO has a pretty bland and boring faceplate though. I dislike the EVO branding on the faceplate and still prefer their signature eagle wings design...

I imagine it’s just a placeholder demo faceplate. Or really just hope so lol because I do agree OG LX wings look better based off the EVO pics

They put this on the teaser so idk.. I do like the OG gold wings as well but then if they do it again it’ll just be same as LX so maybe they wanted to come up with something new?
I actually prefer the new logo to differentiate it. Always felt the OG gold ways were a bit demure for what the LX was capable of.

Maybe you guys should start asking for a limited batch of EVOs with the wings :p

Considering how nice EE’s faceplates usually are, I’m expecting that to just be a demo design and we are yet to see the final version. At least that’s what I’m hoping for lol.

Considering the EVO design does resemble wings, it's probably what was planned. Of all the recent releases this one really has me curious. Can't wait for the reviews.

I don't have much expectations though, i have a feeling that might really be the final design

The EVO concept into a shape of a wings is great, however the execution is bland and plain though. Perhaps a different textured faceplate with EVO in translucent to see a bit of the internals might make it more special..

I think unique faceplates for different models is the way, I vastly prefer looking at the winged side of my Hero, the writing blends into the faceplate too much and looks far less refined.

I want what Bob is on. Free-balling and happy without a care in the world.
He really is a happy guy! Always there with open arms when I get to work and go to insert the cable for the IEM of the day!

Just got my DrJ 2-wire Cardas Clear cable back from EA. I had them upgrade the connectors to their new ConX system. Looking forward to some ear time later today. First impressions look great though.
Really like the faceplates you chose on those.

Salty, I haven't seen you around much lately. Been busy? Are you going to pick up an EVO? I am going to try to listen to it right after they officially launch it.
