I would agree with this. I also have the 1950s and it paired with LX is pretty special.
Haha, what am I being nominated for? I haven’t been keeping up with this thread for the obvious reasons…
Yeah, I’m with you on right-angled connectors. I’ve always preferred them over straight, and I don’t know why they’re always considered the secondary option. Thankfully, that Pentaconn plug’s fairly easy to buy on its own. I’ve had one of my 7-pin JH cables reterminated with it. ‘Looks and feels great!
Nice! A tighter-sounding copper sounds like a great pair with the LX too, and the 1950s is one of the quicker, “brighter” (if you’ll call it that) coppers I’ve heard. It used to be neck-and-neck with the Han Sound Audio Venom for separation and background clarity in Singapore, but the latter had an even more colourless tone. I really loved the way the Venom sounded. ‘Shame it had what felt like snakeskin for shielding and crackling microphonics. Sleeved cables then ain’t what they are today.
Well, ‘glad to hear there’s at least a couple happy campers here. I actually saw on social media that South Korea may have a V2 demo available. Jack was just there for a show, so that makes sense. Can anyone there confirm?
Big improvement and comfortable compared to the Odyssey you say, hmm.
Since I didn't see any public replies on this, I'd say if you want a set that focuses on the presentation (feels like an actual instrument with the additional physical layer) and not just quantity of bass I'd go for the Legend EVOs. Otherwise if the price is too large of a step, I'd go for the LX. A lot of people do say the LX has a lot of bass, but compared with the EVOs and Ravens it feels flat without the additional bone conduction and updated Weapon IX+. Vocals and mids are a bit more bodied than the LX, feels like they had to pull out the sharpness on the LX so it sounds more tinny.
If you want a more well rounded IEM than LX or EVO, I'd look for a good used Odyssey. That'd give you the benefit of EE's bone conduction included in the full quadbrid driver complement. You might be able to find one used for around the same price as a new Legend X, and it's a much more impressive sound quality overall.
Something to note @Guzomx if you do find yourself a nice pair of Odysseys. I believe A&K handle the repairs and warranty for the unit. So if you're not in Asia and are not getting it retail, then that might be a long term consideration. Especially since it's a limited run so support might be more limited than the normal EE stuff that will be replenished.
Oh crap… the faceplates broke too?
I would contact EE and find out how they handle out of warranty repairs for Odyssey. I kinda doubt you'd have to go through A&K once they're out of warranty.
