Firstly, thanks to everyone who has written impressions so far, they have been really interesting reading.
I have received and spent a couple of really nice moments with them (the Australian tour unit) but first came a bit of fiddling trying to achieve a good seal. None of the sizes really worked for me so I have added a large tip I often get a great seal with to the back of the double flange which is now providing a great deep seal.
The first moment was with snarky puppy - bigly strictness. I had forgotten how much detail you can hear in the cymbals, there they are shimmering, each cymbal distinct and each hit distinct. It was a bit of a distraction at first but the Evo doesn't leave you there. I ultimately sold my aurisonic harmonys as to me they presented music as a sum of separate instruments whereas the Evo allowed me to hear the distinctness of the instruments without losing the music itself. I guess reading others impressions that this might signify relaxedness or loss of absolute detail but I loved it.
The second moment was in Agnes Obel - Aventine. The space around the cello (I assume) is just lovely but also the reverb and body of the instrument shows through which shows a lovely balance to the Evo, other phones struggle to allow both to coexist so well. Also in the same track, the pluck of the violins/violas ( once again feel free to correct me in my assumptions) had a space and clarity around each pluck without losing the body of the instrument showing that lovely balance.
Anyways, just a few ramblings on a Saturday morning but they were lovely moments to me.
