Continued development of proto h please!!
Less hiss would be nice and more and cheaper collabs with effect audio
Side note:
We want the blu ray!!

In my brief time with the isine20, I really loved the sound. The fit and overall comfort was another story. So I would certainly love to see what you guys could do in the planar field, especially if it were lightweight and small enough for a custom version.

You really need that gun so that you can shrink full size can and made it into custom :ksc75smile:

In regards to the other requests (besides the hoverboard and instructional blu-ray vid)

Well, it wasn't about the vid (or blue-ray), but all about the text of that song. Some (imo hilarious) view on excessive consumption behavior and materialism in general. But hey, I'm guilty too :grinning:
And regarding hoverboards...they're just dangerous!

So yeah, probably better to stick to iems indeed :thumbsup:

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

Head-Fi sure loves turning off my notifications from the Empire thread :D

Anyways, as far as suggestions are concerned, I'd recommend looking into open BA technology. Although it's now associated to 64Audio with their tia drivers, the tech has been long used by companies like UE and Soranik. I think it would be a great complement to the beautiful midrange of the Zeus and the awesome, visceral bass that the prototypes have displayed.

There's not much else I can suggest, you guys do most things pretty damn well :p Maybe more options for exotic faceplates, but I have a pretty apparent obsession with faceplates, so take from that what you will :wink:

something like the broken holo finish from lime ears looks nice

speaking of tracking , this is like heaven & hell rolled into one

the agony of not seeing any tracking update for days and the bliss of seeing tracking refreshed and ciems brought one step closer to you

waiting for that elusive US --> Europe tracking update 6 days now , gotta love National Post right :L3000:

If anyone is interested, just popped some initial impression up on Audio Primate for the Athena - no idea why these don't have more of a buzz on here!

Full review should be done in a few weeks - need to get the Zeus-XR written up first! :wink:
Nice! Sounds like that would indeed fit my preferences (as jack had already advised me) and might have very good synergy with the regular Ares II. It did for my Ei.3, which have quite attenuated treble, but which did not pair well with an SPC because the mids were pushed too far back for my liking. Looking forward to the full review!

Mine has an estimate delivery for Tuesday. One of the few times I'm glad my work place has a block on the internet during non work hours.

I got my Zeus XRA from reshell couple weeks ago. The ADEL "chamber" is much much more tighter than the universal I have before (I almost send it back to refit because of that). But thanks for the perfect seal with the ADEL component, the bass is much more kicking and deeper. However, the different when I switch between R and X become very minor.
