Discussion time! What would you guys like to see from us, product wise?

Jack I think something such as the XR, R or XIV, clarity, expanded stage, layering and transparency with sub bass ....

 

[Jackpot77]

My wish list:

1. Hybrids. All that clarity in the mids and high ranges, and some serious thud in the bass.
2. Your take on a single / dual / whatever driver count all-dynamic driver IEM.
3. (Bear with me here) A closed back hybrid over-ear. Final did it with the Pandora Hope VI, using one BA to sharpen the sound going in to the ear cup. Wonder what 14 BAs would sound like if they were all firing into one enclosure?

Oh, and a hoverboard.

New housing material silicone or metal etc to produce better sound and more comfortable. And I would like to see less drivers build that can match the Zeus SQ, custom BA drivers maybe.

How about a single driver model? Single BA models seem to be making a bit of a resurgence atm.

Body by Jack instructional videos on Blu-ray. Everyone here wants arms like those, even if they lie and say they don't.

From the audio realm? How about an Empire Ears Bluetooth cable with DSP specifically voiced for your line of products?

Similar to what you did with the Zeus. Have 2 tuning options for your next flagship.
- Tuning 'N' for Natural, which would focus on natural timbre and tone. This would have a smooth treble and a touch more low end.
- Tuning 'R' for Reference which would be focusing on Precision. This would be brighter with a more linear treble.
- The switch option so that people who like to have both could choose that.

I know the current XR sounds like what I suggested. But the XIV version still has more treble than what can be considered natural. And in the bass, XIV is tilted towards upper bass. So, a slight drop in upper bass and a few dB addition to the sub-bass would be nice. Also, the presentation could be slightly less forward.

Basically 'N' would have a tuning like how an individual would hear from a flat stere speaker in a living room, which includes the boundary gain from the walls. That is 1dB drop per octave going from 20hz to the 20kHz. And 'R' would be how you would hear from a flat stereo speaker if you were standing front of it in an anechoic chamber.

Just my 2c.

I'll echo this and also get a better handle on the hissing.

All the things that are mentioned in the last minute of this song...and the hybrid that already has been mentioned before, as nothing can beat a well tuned DDs lows imo.
Besides that, an extra signature switch (like on the Zeus XR) would always be a welcome bonus on any iem imo. Two signatures in one iem...just gotta love that...brilliant!

A tuneable IEM but instead of a switch between signatures, the entire FR is tuneable, default being flat. I have no idea how this would work.

Electrostatic, with a smaller footprint than the STAX and Shure variants.

I'm easy. Some EE branded headphone amp rubberbands and a smaller round carrying case for our prized IEMs. Other than that Jack just keep up the excellent customer service and create a new flagship that'll blow the competition outta the water! Lol

An IEM without hiss

 

[TheOracle]

World's first custom fit full sized headphones. Who needs uncomfortable headphone pads? Ear cups molded straight into you ear hole...

Other than that a true wireless, bluetooth Zeus would be awesome. The stuff on the market at the moment is terrible. Not sure how you'd fit anything else into that shell, but that's your problem, not mine

Everybody always wants to see a TOTL product but I would like to see something that is more affordable in the mid-tier range - I love my Spartan's and would like to see more innovation in this area (e.g. look what Custom Art have started to do with their FIBAE range, where these have just one and two proprietary drivers at present). Maybe also something that is a hybrid (as mentioned before) with a DD driver(s). More customisation options / different shell materials for universals (metal etc).

It's also very hard to demo the Empire range within the UK (outside of going to canjam) - do you have any plans to pair up with a retailer in the UK where we could demo your ranges ?

An IEM without hiss

Absolutely will do! In regards to the other requests (besides the hoverboard and instructional blu-ray vid).......

Keep them coming though! Great suggestions and ideas so far!

something that would not break the bank but managed to introduce new users to your wonderful IEMs that has something so good that will change their perspective of "expensive earphones" and gave them an unforgettable experience for their ears.

DITA The Answer did this to me before when I first started out the hobby.

I believe in whatever product you make next, will have just as big an impact.

hybrid, dynamic, BA, or any new drivers you developed that could change the game like Tia drivers, I would definitely look forward to another pleasant surprise like the last time I experienced Zeus R.

EDIT: Also, I want a hoverboard now. One that gives me a pack of Twisties. :3
