Where can I find impressions of those haha


Those are an off-menu special.

Maybe you can tell us what kind of sound you are looking for and the genres that you listen to so that those who have heard the line-up can recommend accordingly :)

So I actually love my Lime Ears Aether, a warmer IEM. I typically like an L shaped response curve, mostly neutral but a bump in the sub-bass so I can feel the bass and a slight bump in the mid bass, but can't stand treble roll off. I didn't like the Noble K10's and 1964 V8s both darker than I like, I do enjoy my Rhapsodio Galaxy's but want customs and ADEL :)
 
I listen to a lot of Electronic/Indie (Bonobo, Major Lazer, Mura Masa, Sylvan Esso, Purity Ring), hip hop (Migos, Kanye), RnB (Gallant, Sampha), a tiny bit of rock, things like Dispatch, Radiohead, etc.

I think among the 3 probably Zeus-R is the best? But somehow I have a feeling you will really enjoy the Athena.

Hmm, you might want to look at the Hermes and Athena. They seem to fit your requirements the most!

Awesome thanks! I'll take a look into the Athena and Zeus-R! Would you say G1 module for ADEL?

I don't know about the Zeus-R since I don't own one, but the G1 modules are my absolute favorite ADEL modules for the Athena.

  Lucky you to be getting some tax refund. I could have bought an XRA w/ the additional uncle Sam is taking from me. Can only hope it's put to good use. 

 
Yea I'm a young guy with a kid, it helps.  But it'll be a worthless refund when he's out of the house! Will have to have another, hopefully a girl this time! (would make my wife happy)

R or XIV, if you want sub-bass, do NOT take the ADEL route. 

 
Interesting, I may be screwed haha, I wanted ADEL cause customs have been giving me issues where the pressure causes slight tension/headaches through my left ear from the tight seal, hoping ADEL would be able to help. I don't seem to have this issue w/ universal IEMs
