I guess 2-pin connectors in general, but I figured I'd ask in a thread dedicated to a manufacturer that makes all its universal IEMS with non-recessed connectors.
I have had quite a few EE IEM's and have never had an issue with their connectors. I am not someone that rolls cables much either.

It's time for someone to step back. :smiley_cat:
You can’t post a pic without posting impressions! 😛

From your sig, you rank it ahead of everything else??

Hey guys,

I have a Xenns Up and really like them. I do miss my Z1r sometimes. Stage and slam were almost overear like. Wondering if anyone can compare Bravado mkii to Xenns Up. Is it lateral move? Upgrade? Things I'm looking for: big bass, wide stage, splashy EST treble.

Thanks all!

So, I'll be answering my own question. Picked up a pair of Bravado Mkii last night from headphones.com. I'm sure legend X would be my endgame, but I can't justify spending $2k on headphones right now (or likely ever). I'm excited to compare to my Xenns Up.

I can’t comment on the Bravado as I’ve never heard it. But I don’t think you would be disappointed with Legend X. It’s a very good IEM. It has also stood the test of time as people still own it, talk about it and rate it quite highly. I think retail price is $2,300, but you should be able to pick up one on the classifieds for around $1,100.

I've heard good things. Z1R has been my previous flagship, and I really liked it, but it wasn't very mobile because of it's power needs. IS legend X a bit more mobile?

I think LX does scale a bit with power. I used it previously with N6ii and R8 and both of those had the ability to drive it well. For my purpose though I only ever listen when I’m sitting down or working at my desk and so I’ve never had to worry about mobility issues.
