Crashing this thread again momentarily to ask for some cable advice - I am not a fan of the Effect Audio Ares II largely due to fit and comfort around my ear and the 3.5mm jack being oddly loose fit with my Samsung GS8. It falls out very easily and I am looking for something with slightly wider jack.

Does anyone have recommendations for cables that work with the recessed connection needed for EE CIEMs that are super soft and supple but nor overly thick? Chin slider is a must. Copper or a copper/silver blend would be ideal. Budget wise I'd like to stay around $100.

Thank you for your help!

I have been using Triton Audio Cable for awhile but not for CIEMs. David makes pretty decent cables with reasonable prices.

I can second this, I have the Triton8 hybrid and it sounds amazing and has great comfort. Microphonics are pretty bad, but it may not bother you.

I'm actually considering selling mine since I upgraded to the Janus D.

Also pairing with the Phantom (universal, custom on its way). AK SP1000Cu + Janus D + Phantoms is a lovely combo, probably my end game for a few years.

Ares II has one of the better confort around ear in my experience - no hard memory loops, it seems you may need to look at super thin cables such as linum cable:

or you can try the noble cable (ultra thin) cable for your company (Nobel Audio), listed on the website for $80, employee discount should bring that down a bit. It was nice, I remember removing the memory wire part, but 3.5mm connector had problems after a year.

Hi all,

Think it’s time for me to upgrade my K10s that I got over two years ago. I’m looking for some strong bass and mids. What EE monitor would suit me best?

Since K10 already an awesome piece, it will be quite a challenge to have something come close (assuming similar pricing).

You may wanna try out the X line, with dynamic instead of BA type bass.

Either Phantom or the LX.

Just ordered a pair of Phantom customs. These are my first CIEMs, so I can't wait (have Phantom and Zeus-R universals currently).

So beautiful!

WELCOME.... WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.

Does anyone work out in their CIEMs and if so what are some precautions you take to help protect them?

I'm going to PM you as well, but I think the Vantage may be a great fit for what you're looking for. It's the most mid-forward signature of the X Series, and has 2 of our 9mm dynamic drivers which hit pretty hard in terms of bass. I say mid-forward, but I don't want that to scare you away as that's in comparison to the rest of the X Series. It isn't overwhelming at all and, honestly, the Vantage is soooo smooth and easy to listen to. It's a hidden gem.

Good things come to he (or she!) who waits
