... and not just industry in general, but I believe a hearing aids industry which is held to a higher standards level :wink:

No, they haven't, no matter how hard I tried. That's why I sent it back to Jack/Dean for reshell, cause I thought something is wrong with it after all the abuse I put them through :p

The switch scares me. It stands out as the most vulnerable part of the IEM. I weep in anxious terror and retreat to the shadows, alone, and bereft of music.

Truly, the most vulnerable parts of an IEM are the connectors and the plug. I'm not worried at all about the switch. I'm much more worried about accidentally putting too much pressure on the plug/port or on the connectors. Or getting the cord caught on something and yanking at them, causing damage.

Geesh, I hope I don't jinx myself and if my switch breaks I pray it breaks in XIV mode

Zeus XR has cured my upgraditis , any future buys will solely be out of shopping therapy vibes
missed the black friday sales, is it going to be a x'mas or new year sales?
i am planning to acquire one CM version of EA, struggliing between R or XR, Adel or non Adel.
Looking back for the review, still can't decide


XR without a thought , if you are gonna spend 2K add 200-300 more and go all the way

as for adel or not adel , see the +/- of each option and decide accordingly

Santa Claus knocked on my door before yesterday...

Very small body, very sensitive to tip, cable, source.
Two days needed for burn in, now I hear a very smooth, balanced sound.
Spinfit and Comply are not the real thing, but the tip of the AKG K3003 is very good. The best tip is a simple HAMA silicone.
Ares II is a very detailed, smooth cable that can be very well pairing with the Zeus XR.

I have Christmas for two days!

Merry Christmas for Head-fiers!

Wow, what a x'mas gift arriving, is ares II the standard cable bundled with Zeus XR?

I find the SP1000 paired with the Zeus XR sublime. The amount of detail, the placement of sounds within the soundstage, the fantastic transparency of those sounds, and the way the music just seems to keep growing makes for a wonderful listening experience. Try the FA tips if you get a chance, Many here feel they pair the best with the XR.

The Legend X is an upcoming 7-driver hybrid (2 DD + 5 BA). Unfortunately, it’s not available to demo yet, so there won’t be any impressions or comparisons until early next year, most likely.
