that was quickMy Phantoms and Bravados are posted... Gotta sell them first...
that was quick
Something fun arrived today
Really enjoying them so far!
Totally torn in deciding whether the Phantoms or the Valkyrie would be my next and first ever CIEMs. Unfortunately I do not have the opportunity to try them for myself... Relying heavily on your impressions!
Hey mate,
What is it you're ideally looking for sound-wise?
I've heard both, and they're really rather different.
In the crudest of generalisations, Phantom reminds me more of the Wraith than any other EE IEM (NB: I haven't heard the rest of the EP series). And I appreciate this may not be that helpful if you haven't heard the Wraith! Dark, rich, intimate, exotic, unique.
Valkyrie (again in very general terms) is like the b*stard lovechild of Zeus and Bravado. Who may one day end up being king lol.
Both excellent, but both very different. I'm aware that you know your audiophile stuff, so I'm just curious what you're really looking for
Hey man, just the guy I was thinking of who would probably answer this! Well I personally own the Hermes which is part of the legacy lineup, with a slight warmish - neutral setup with 6 BA drivers.
The thick organic sound of the phantom does intrigue me, due to my sibliance issues. That's the part that's making me a little hesitant with the Valkyrie, as the treble extension and sparkly highs may give me an issue (pairing it with a fairly neutral/bright DAP as well). But I do want to experience the DD bass as I've been there with a multi-BA driver setup.
I've read a review where it mentions that the Valk's mids seem too distant, and that's a little worrying for me as well. Gah. Wish I could hear it to be the judge.
I'd imagine if you swopped out the dap (or cable if you believe in that stuff) for a warmish signature it may work out better. All about system synergy.
