100% on this. I've been borrowing my friend's XE6 and it sometimes sounds like muddy gloop if I was using something that has a more traditional tuning the night before (such as my Odin). But after that adjustment, it ends up sounding like the voice of gods. Seriously, it gives me chills. I'm mostly an EDM/pop person, so the bass and uncanny amount of detail work really well together. As much hype that the bass gets, I honestly think that it's the treble that's the highlight for me. The open driver (tia?) with reflector adds a super smooth air and detail.

It's unashamedly the most colored, "guilty pleasure" of an IEM I've heard in a while. That being said, I can definitely seeing this being a miss for some people. My friend had to try a bunch of combos to find something that works for him (and myself now that I'm borrowing it). I'm sure that depending on people's ear shape and setup that the balance can go wrong and end up feeling really bloated. Luckily it's easy to swap modules on top of tip/cable rolling so you can tune a lot of different variables.

I have owned the odin, and the more forward mids and highs were Def apparent, but I didn't mind them. Love vocals, but odin felt to technical and not enough "fun", if that makes sense.
I am also edm, pop, kpop etc

As my friend who owns the XE6 says: "yeah, it just hits different"

Literally that, FiR weren’t lying when they said “unlike anything you’ve ever heard before”

On Xe6 with Aeneid since this morning and can confirm… hits different. Might be the single best setup I’ve heard with the LPGT Ti, rivaling MHA150-Kr5-Iliad

 

[rofflemywaffle]

Might be time for a new slogan

Kr5 CIEM shipped and will be with me tomorrow

Ne4 day after yeah? In seriousness, has anybody here who's had a lot of time with the Xe6 and Kr5 heard the Ne4?

Just got an email from Vlad @ FiR to tease what I’m getting tomorrow… I can’t resist posting.

They look stunning

KR5 is the first iem that got me thinking "what if I got this in custom...". You are not helping me resist the thought here .

Resistance is futile. Just Do It. Go hard or go home.
There's probably other slogans I could drum up, but I'm a bit tired right now

Can’t wait to see the family pic with the black XE6

Thought I’d post my XE6 shot here as well to give the universals some love.

 

[metaljem77]

Hoping I can audition the universal Xe6 one of these days, cause I have a customised design I’m craving to get… much excited

Are the channel markings and logo golden? As if they were made for each other
