Any agreement on which EE Adel IEM is great for extreme metal? Currently I am using 64 Audio stuff which I really like, but I have been wanting to try EE out with Adel (addicted to the Adel). Price doesn't need to be a concern, maybe top 2 or 3 models that do well.

Zeus or Athena. That's kinda the only genre I listen to...

I'll do some ear impressions for my Zeus, any advice ? Do I need to send picture of it to @Jack Vang for confirmation that everything is ok ? 
Any French here that has a recomandation about a good audiologist in Paris ?

There are some specifics required. Here's a link to the EE ear impression guidelines:

You can definitely PM some photos of the impression to Jack if you're unsure if it meets the criteria.

Make sure they get past the second bend, capture the entire outer ear including crevices and use the correct viscosity material. Assume a natural listening position and do not move. I used a block last time and got a perfect fit

Got rid of my Adel XRA, very happy I got rid of them and I don't miss them at all. What I do miss is the XR and its awesome details and resolution. I'm so exited of the current prototypes and what may come of them in the coming months.
. Can't wait to read more impressions and pull the trigger myself

Zeus is awesome for metal, but tbh I have not found a genre I do not like with the Zeus XRA.
 
Just to even the playing field here I want to state that I am still loving my Zeus XRA.
 
I love having the switch. Been listening alot on the X but the last day or so I have gone to the R. The R gives an awesome sense of realism, this morning I have bit having a blast from the past to my youth and listening to early Chilli Peppers, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains on the R - awesome sense of realism, space and detail. so satisfying.
 
Yesterday I was switching back and forth on the R and X and really enjoying both listening to some hip hop - Stormsy's new album and Rae Sremmurd's also.

The only genre worth listening to (imo)

Ok fine, heavy rock too.

Another newbie question -- when people refer to a hybrid IEM, what exactly does that mean?
 
Thanks for your patience with me!

Dynamic driver and armatures in one IEM. Best of both worlds.

  Hi all!  I'm new to the forum and to portable audio.  How/where does a newbie living in the DC area go to demo some of the EE iems?
 
Thanks,
 
Andrew

I'm in the D.C. area, too, but my EEs (Zeus XRA and Apollo) are both custom builds. Good luck.

I don't think you'll be disappointed - those prototypes really sound great. I don't think I've met anyone (who was at CanJam Singapore) who didn't like the prototypes.
