Speaking of internals.. what ever happened to that guy who was using the flashlight to look inside IEM’s to build his own?
Was that the guy who claimed his Odin had less drivers than advertised?

I came up with a joke about him needing that flashlight to check on his own internals, but I don’t know if that’s breaking Head-Fi ToS, so I’ll just cheekily insinuate it instead. :wink:

But EE was lying… he couldn’t see the SyncX crossover there. 😂

PS.: For those that don't remember the discussion...I'm being sarcastic. you won't see the SyncX as per the site marketing pictures and that is ok and expected.

IEMs is more tuning than anything, and if you're not musically inclined that ambition is not going anywhere. It's like looking at a frame of a building and thinking you can build it, but not knowing why each beam is placed where it is.
I think that's being a little critical. My deck turned out fine.

Pfft what is this, amateur hour? Get off my lawn!

Only an xray can reveal the truth the manufacturers don't want you to see! Unless it was purposefully crapified by me as to not violate any laws for the sake of lulz :)

Yeah, I would be interested in a custom, especially if you factor in that there’s no Weapon IX CIEMs out there.

But if you take this IG post (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3OKMlvrrj/?igshid=ZGY5ODdmOGM=) it sounds like a yes?
I assume you mean Weapon X? Weapon IX/IX+ (aka W9/W9+) are in pretty much all of their IEMs. Weapon X is the bone conduction.
Deeply, deeply hope that IG post is an indication that I can finally get my CIEM bone conduction fix /without/ having to get MEST/MEXT (ick).

This is my go to thread when I come to head fi. Awesome stuff always so thanks for letting me play. Have the Cayin N7 coming in a few weeks from the national tour or I may just purchase. Odin’s are still crushing it on my Brinkman Nyquist DAC as well as my cheap AK 25mk 2. Can’t wait to hear them on the N7. They killed it in Japan at EEarphones using all the top end DAPs. Not neutral, but a blast still and easy to eq when playing poorly recorded music.

Also would like to know this, I’m on the hunt for a new custom IEM. Growing tired of universals.
Joining this train in hoping that there will be a CIEM version.

I MISS my CIEM's...If the Odin's started out with that version, I'd have been set, lol.

even though i have not been able to buy any hi end toys since 2017 (when i got zeus xr) i am still checking regularly this thread and happy to see EE thriving and making new toys

last night, i paired my Zeus XR with the EA x MS collaboration Eos cable , very nice synergy especially for a cable that cost me only 150$

been dying to try/buy a custom Odin , but these babies are a rich (or super crazy) man's game so i live vicariously through you guys

for now Zeus (and hidition NT6) will do , when i win some money (through a lottery ticket or some rich dead uncle) i am buying Odin in a heartbeat
