I’ll let EE speak on that if they feel like it. Not my place… but again, nothing special.

I heard from the dealer . Next flagship is expected to release in March next year.
I don't know which one and a rumours is it true?
But some expectations and promises are better than Odyssey (which is given to A&K) .
I still don't believe it and don't expect anything until EE announces it.

I can't say more than information that are publicly available.
As @CL14715 said, it's not something new and I don't think EE will release something that would eclipse Odyssey at the moment..

I don’t like very heavy bass nor do I like when an IEM is bass anemic. So far my favorite IEM that I have is the MEST Indigo. It has punchy bass and nice treble extension. Do you think I would like the Odin or Odyssey better. I know I have to listen to them, but I’m curious if those who have heard them both have an opinion.

I own the Indigo and I just came back from hearing the Odin and Odyssey. The indigo is more inline with the Odyssey. Bass on both are very good punchy bass. I would say the Odyssey has a tighter faster bass than indigo but still punches deep and hard but more controlled. All 3 have excellent technicalities, details, imaging, layering. The upper range on the Odin will be a bit brighter than Odyssey and indigo. Odin goes for clarity where as indigo and odyssey are neutral slightly warm. I personally prefer EE treble over most UM, it just seems cleaner, more precise, and more tactile. Indigo and odyssey are both great all rounder IEMs. They’re both excellent but Odyssey is tuned in a way that everything is very coherent and balanced, yet each individual range is so good by itself. It hits that almost reference like perfect tuning yet it’s fun and keeps you hooked. I think EE hit a real sweet spot with this one.

Most likely Bloom Audio. I spoke with Andrew at the show about it.

Checked with Andrew from Musicteck and he said they will be offering Odyssey when it comes out

Musicteck will not have Odyssey. Odyssey will be distributed by Astell&Kern dealers only and Musicteck is not an authorized Astell&Kern dealer.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying

Actually I also vaguely remember Andrew told me during this CanJam that AK will have the exclusive right to sell Odyssey and I won't be able to buy from the MusicTeck.

 

[nmink]

do you know how many are produced?

600 pieces in total I thought. At least I heard the number a couple of times.

The other Andrew, at Bloom Audio, will carry it!

if there are 600 pieces worldwide i'll order one. Marketing technically not badly solved

Andrew of Musicteck will have to wait for the actual new releases from EE, which are definitely in the works.

I think I’ll be in for the Odyssey pre-order. A shame Musicteck won’t have them to listen to. They’re local for me and a great dealer all around. But with all the reviews I’m getting more comfortable doing a blind order.
