Only on headfi could $900 be considered "cheap"*
*Yes I know compared to LX, Odin, Valkrie and the rest but still.
For someone who was willing to pay $1350 - getting $135 off is nice.
Agree to disagree. I say that EE even offering a discount on their latest flagship is generous.For someone who was willing to pay $1350 - getting $135 off is nice.
For someone on the fence - that is not enough to push off the fence IMHO.
Just sayin' cause you asked!
Yeah I definitely didn’t expect that. Somewhere in this thread is me saying it won’t happen lol-nice surprise.
Yeah, annoys me that they never include the "lesser" models in the sales they do. Might be the "gateway" iem that get people hooked on the brand. Not everyone has a few thousand dollars/pounds/euros to spend on the latest and greatest. Hopefully rumours of a more consumer orientated brand are true.
Are you enjoying Valkyrie?
As always, I hope y'all enjoy, and the full review will come hopefully sooner than later. Cheers. 
Hey, everyone. After some terribly unfortunate delays, my First Look at the Odin is finally live on TheHeadphoneList.com! Hopefully, it'll add at least a bit more insight to the plethora already shared on this very thread, along with a few more faceplate pics to add to the pile too.
P.S. I don't go in-depth on the Odin's much-discussed upper-midrange peak in the teaser, as it's something I'd like to delve further into on the full review. But, over the course of writing it, I have discovered that insertion depth affects how it sits in the mix quite a lot; more than most. As someone who typically sits universals a tad further out to tone down the upper-mids, I was surprised to find doing so on the Odin had the opposite effect. Inserting it deeper actually helped fill out the bottom and bring the high-mids better in-line. It also made the slight treble colouration I discussed a few weeks ago even less noticeable, which was great to hear. As always, with universals, it's important to mess around with tips and depths; if anything, just to know what the in-ear you have is capable of. But, with the Odin, especially, I feel it can help alleviate what some may call its "quirks" and make it a bit more palatable to those who'd previously dismissed it. Obviously, though, if it doesn't, to each their own, but there's no harm in trying.
