Been there done that. Silicone does have a certain flexibility but not much (mainly in the ear canal). A fit issue would still make it uncomfortable to wear after awhile. You are better off getting a decent set of impressions done to ensure a decent fit with acrylic, particularly if you are in a humid situation or sweat a lot.
Can anyone share their experiences with the Phantom paired with the Leonidas vs M4L4?

It will come with the Final Audio tips, but you may or may not like them.

the spinfit cp 240 on the LX is pretty good too. The final audio tips provided are a pretty bad fit for my ears.

I've only tried the Mandarins I just got in, and went back to the Spiral Dots almost immediately. Haven't tried the FA tips yet, the small bore doesn't seem beneficial.
There are tons of Bravado impressions throughout the thread, just give it a search. I believe the most comprehensive ones were provided by @deafdoorknob and @crabdog among others. Here's my round-up article with impressions on all seven of EE's new IEMs if you haven't seen it yet: http://theheadphonelist.com/empire-ears-ep-x-launch-event-euphoria-audio-a-new-era/
Sadly I only had my Bravado for a few days before one side died. It was sent back to EE for repair but I haven't had any update on the progress yet.

I love my wife’s. They are so much fun in relationship to my legends. There is a fullness and harmonic richness that lets me listen to them for hours with no fatigue. The top end has plenty of extension and the bass Has plenty of definition. What I like is that it doesn’t bleed into the lower mids. Drums sound like drums and don’t thicken.
I’m a reference guy as most know. I found out about EE from Nic who mentors me. Out of all the IEMs I have tried, I could easily live with Bravado in this price range. This is why I got it for her as she enjoys my 2 channel system but often listens to Apple iTunes or Pandora so it’s not high quality and the Bravado is perfect for that but boy do they scale. Even on my High end DAC/AMp it sound like a serious IEM. I haven’t listened to it in a couple of weeks so I can’t say much about where the mids sit as I don’t remember because I wasn’t critically listening.
Dan, thanks so much. My Jodi Vac just showed up. Waiting on the tool set that shipped separately. Can’t wait to try on the Bravado.

Pairing it with my AK SP1000CU with my universal Phantom, the background is super clean & lush, much more micro details compared to Janus D, which on the other side, more powerful, fuller & thicker sounding. The ergonomics on the M4L4 is much better too. For long term listening sessions I will choose M4L4 but if you want a more intimate & revealing sound, the Janus D will be a better choice.
