My retailer told me that they don't have their retail stock of Odin's and Hero's yet. Hopefully early next week and then they can ship them out. Took a little of the shine off the announcement. Oh well, it's still earlier than the initial September 1st date.

yeah he posted it on his channel ( youtube )
looks really quite bright...

Someone here (not sure who, apologies) called it a technical reference monitor, which suggests it would be on the brighter side of neutral. This graph suggests the same. Whenever I see the bass sitting below the mid/treble peak, it usually means it's not an IEM I'd personally appreciate. That said, a graph can only tell you so much, and doesn't show any of the intangibles, so there's that (probably why EE didn't want this to get out, so folks won't go basing their purchase decisions on graphs).

Are his measurements typically accurate or reliable?

Can't say for sure. He does seem to be there or thereabouts, but I tend to take him with a pinch of salt (his specialty is Chi-Fi IEMs, which he gets directly from Linsoul and others in return for his generous coverage).

Which retailer did you use?

Thank you for the intro. @Jack Vang

As of Monday we've officially sold out of all Founder's Editions. Furthermore the demand for both Odin and Hero, even in their standard variant, have far exceeded our expectations and while that's an extraordinary thing that we're extremely grateful for there's a few setbacks that come with it. CIEMs for all new models and the global MKII official release will be pushed back tentatively until the end of the year so that we can focus on the outstanding Odin and Hero orders.

Unless you don't mind waiting I would highly recommend placing your order ASAP through one of our dealers as you may not receive it until late September/early October. The first wave of pre-orders were completely wiped out with the majority of our dealer's 2nd and 3rd orders already being accounted for.


With all of that being said.....

I will be authorizing the release of all Odin and Heros tomorrow (8/21/20) for shipment

Since my last post we've added a few new dealers to our roster:

MusicTeck (New Jersey)
Contact: info@musicteck.com
https://www.musicteck.com/

888 Audio (Florida)
Phone number (850)-888-HIFI
info@888audio.com

All Empire Ears Official Dealers: https://empireears.com/pages/dealers​

Thank you @Jack Vang for introducing me to community and really appreciate the opportunity.

I was all excited to see 888 Audio as a dealer in Florida since there aren't any... Just mapped the trip. It's still faster to go straight to Empire Ears.

We have everything in South Florida except Hifi places!!

We have nothing in Texas. It sucks!

Literally crazy considering the size and location of Texas.

Exactly. Nada. Zilch. It’s all blind buys.

We have nothing in WV either in regards to really HI FI equipment. I went to Cincinnati for my stereo equipment, which is mostly used for movies.

I really would love to have shops like in Japan and Asia nearby.

I'd say maybe I should start my own business... but then I'd have to compete with @Andrew DiMarcangelo who just completely redefines customer service. He would put me out of business in a week!

I live in California, and the closest to me (TSAV) is 6 hour drive away...
@CL14715 drove for 9 hours, I know, but still. sigh.

I was planning on driving to CanJam in SoCal this year if they have it. That'll make 9 hours seem like a trip to the grocery store.

Where I live in Canada it’s 8 hours to nowhere. All blind buys but only mscaler was a mistake. Head-fi sure helps decisions.
