I would argue the TA Monarch or any from the quadruplets should be fine.

This is actually the configuration I wanted if ever I get it in custom.'Not the best possible shots of the Bifrost faceplates, but these are, I believe, the first images of a custom ODIN to hit the web. Courtesy of e-earphone's blog:
The royal purple just looks nice with the bifrost faceplate. Hopefully by the time I’m ready to buy a custom, it’ll be available again.
Thanks. Well, bass is not all I care about. Might have to bite the bullet. Accountant (wife) be damned

Sadly not in the Empire Ears range (although I feel their products are absolutely worth the money they charge!). In the under $400 price range, I'd highly recommend the @Penon Globe which is an astonishing, basshead pleasing (but not solely basehead focused) and extraordinary value-for-money IEM under $400. I've yet to encounter an IEM in that price bracket that comes even close (and scales up even more with an upgraded cable - I like @Penon's own OSG cable if you're after a reasonably priced great performer). Here's a link to some Globe impressions I posted on the @Penon thread - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/penon-audio-thread-post-your-impressions-here.934523/post-16379639
Also worth checking out @davidmolliere's, @Dsnuts', @pr0b3r's and @ehjie's thoughts on that thread too who, in my experience, are very reliable posters/reviewers.

Hi @slowpickr. i'm gonna tag you in the the thread @KickAssChewGum mentioned
and let's enjoy the Music....Thank you! I recently found a new appreciation for my JVC HA-FX850s that had been boxed up in my basement for who knows how long. This prompted a trade for JVC HA-FW01s which are also great IMO. Now I'm looking for a significant upgrade to both. I like both the aforementioned IEMs so much I'm not sure if it's possible LOLHi @slowpickr. i'm gonna tag you in the the thread @KickAssChewGum mentioned

Wow, that purple pops. Now I'm second guessing the colors i went with. I may have to go with purple! Thanks for sharing!'Not the best possible shots of the Bifrost faceplates, but these are, I believe, the first images of a custom ODIN to hit the web. Courtesy of e-earphone's blog:
I personally prefer a Translucent Storm or Piano Black to pair with the Bifrost faceplates, because it lets the colours on the plates stand out more. But, as always, different strokes.

me too... I like the dark colors for the shell. unless the shell is from a complete different material, then anything is possible.I personally prefer a Translucent Storm or Piano Black to pair with the Bifrost faceplates, because it lets the colours on the plates stand out more.

Funny - in preparation for ordering my own custom LX soon, I was looking at those exact colors. Not a final decision yet, though...I personally prefer a Translucent Storm or Piano Black to pair with the Bifrost faceplates, because it lets the colours on the plates stand out more.

My bad... I was looking at the Swirl colors. Not the Bifrost.Funny - in preparation for ordering my own custom LX soon, I was looking at those exact colors. Not a final decision yet, though...
What do you guys think about Bravado MKII vs Vantage for all around listening experience? Both should be basshead approved. FWIW, Crinacle ranks the Vantage higher and calls it a mini LX which is appealing. Thanks.
LXSE seems to be on the way. If all goes well it should arrive by Monday... Anyone else excited to receive theirs?
