Since meanwhile it's more than a handful of people getting hands on their "very own" Odyssey - still waiting for mine - I'd like to know about the 'value' of a comment/statement I found below an Odyssey YT Review:

...
"At the official presentation of these earphones by a respected headphone specialist, we were very interested with 25 people present to see how the Odyssey would do in direct comparison with the Odin and the rest of the Empire-Ear portfolio.
Well, none of us could give a verdict, because these plugs are so big and unergonomically shaped that really none of us could achieve a proper seal.
For the boneconductor, however, it is absolutely necessary to have a solid contact with the auricle, which is not possible due to the shape and size, so the bass reproduction was completely inadequate.
We all agreed that these earphones are the most expensive hi-fi blunders of the year. Sorry"
...

Just want to get a better picture about who actually is creating the 'blunder'...


Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I’m glad many people addressed this comment.

So now that others already weighed in… this is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen. It’s an obvious attempt to sabotage EE. I’m over 100% positive Dean and Jack are more than qualified to understand the science considering this is what they do everyday for the last umpteen years. Doubt they would produce an IEM with millions of dollars and years of R&D into a concept that they defeated intentionally by design. Come TF on..

New to this forum. During last several years i was trying different earphones up to ~1000$ range, uncluding from earsonics, westone, stagediver, noble, campfire and etc. And in the end it's 3rd year as i wear empire ears bravado, because they are just the number one for me after i checked ~20 other IEMs. And since it has always been a simplest model in EE model range i wonder what is there in upper range? Anyway, just short gratitude to EE.

Patiently waiting for Odyssey in the US...

What's the latest you guys have heard? (re Odyssey). Is it supposed to be the week of Dec 5th?

Not sure how it is in the US but Europe hardly got any odysseys. The company which imports them for Europe told me he only got like 16 for all of Europe. They are somehow limited in production and won’t produce a second batch for now. Too bad. Well I am one of the lucky ones. However I have to wait 2 weeks or so. Got one of the few in Europe.

Same as me. I ordered Odysseys two days ago. Delivery scheduled for early December. They told my that I’m one of the three lucky guys in my country, Europe.

Hmmm, "and won't produce a second batch for now". Reading Jack's posting on November, 15th (i.e. that they shipped out the final batch) I assume all 600 Odysseys have been produced (with no additional ones to come) - and the only thing left now is distributing them across the globe.

Had mine paid since October 18th. No updates as of yet but I’ll be patient. I like A&K and Empire Ears.

 

[Memorexx168]

I just hope they are as good as we think they are otherwise a long wait for nothing .
But well…after spending so much money on it, I will tell myself they are good hehe. I have a sp3000 coming in next week. Can’t wait for that either. Black Friday

You freak!

I’m right now switching from Custom Art Fibae 7 Unlimited to Odyssey but staying with Cayin RU-6. I hope it will have enough power. At least for couple of weeks

Congratulations on your new acquisitions! I love the Odyssey. It is my number 1 at the moment.
