If you new Odin owners want more sub bass these EQ very well. They have the same drivers as the Legend Evos so they can really thump when turned up.
I'll definitely experiment as I quite like eqing. However I'm very happy with the Odin's low end.

Solid idea. I grabbed a 4.4 to 1/4 and 4.4 to XLR for the desk sessions. Some IEM’s scale surprisingly well.
With EE low impedance, sometimes 4.4 to SE is the way 😭the SA-1's 4.4 slot is 32% the Evo's impedance (1.4) vs 0.7 ohms 1/4". It's not a night and day FR shift, but its noticeable.

The Oor is <0.3 Ohms and the MJ3 is 0.25 Ohms. (XLR)

A little bass bump and 1.5k dip made my Odin the goto for my SP3000.

do you still use your LX after acquiring the evo? what's your go to tips for your EE iems?

+12dB 85Hz or bust 🤣
That's my kind of EQ!
Guys on the Abyss Diana thread lost their minds over what I was doing to a pair of v2s. Turned them into rocket ships :)

Waiting on an adapter! :)
So the Odins on Feliks Envy via Chord DAVE are insane. Currently running Elrog 300b tubes so perhaps a bit leaner sounding than with Western Electric.

Doesn't have the soundstage of the Campfire Trifecta I tried recently, but the Odin has everything else that those lacked for me – as different as the two are. It's not a fair comparison as neither is trying to do what the other is, but it's the only comparison I have!

But the Odins absolutely scale incredibly well. I've just got a Cayin RU6 which is sufficient for now for portable use. But at my desk, it's fantastic to get this quality sound without having to make the sacrifices that come with closed back headphones.

I should say as well the background is very quiet with the Envy on low impedence. Not totally black but nothing noticeable on something like the intro to Talking Heads 'Road to Nowhere' with its silent breaks.

Shoutout to @Doug2507 for hooking me up with the XLR adapter :)

The LX is paired with my bedside Chord TT(1) and the EVO is used mostly with my Poly/Mojo2 so that I can give it a little EQ to pull back the mids a touch. I use Spinfit Omni on the LX for seal and comfort at night. I use the supplied Final Audio E tips for best bone conduction transfer. To be honest I prefer the LX over the EVO but I like a smooth sound without elevated mids.

I wasn’t a fan of Trifecta. It sounded off to me with too many styles of music. Cool idea, just not for me.

The trifectas are like the single most divisive iems i have seen in recent years 😂 Out of the 3 line up that i listened to last year i definitely liked the stellar horizon the best the other two a big no.

... for a compliment to my odins i always looked towards the annihilator from elysian...
Could you say in what ways they're different? Still finding my feet with iems.

I have this new cable arrived couples of days ago, the Plussound Silver+ has done amazing things to Raven sound. With burn in Raven bass response and overall sound will improve, but still doesn't suit my taste for my music library, the overall sound with stock cable still a bit too warm and thick, the treble needs a bit more air.

The Plussound Silver+ give me exactly what I want with Raven and more, the staging expand in all directions, imaging also improve. I no longer tips rolling anymore I am back using stock tips with my usual size. I know cables effect on the sound of IEM is debatable but I think Silver+ effect on Raven sound is the most noticeable from my personal experiences with Cables & IEM pair up.
