You mean, at that price tag ($5.5k), you expect really good packaging :p
I expect a 5500$ product :p when your own money is on the line you become a lot more grumpy and critical haha

I said Odin was too expensive. Then I sold my stuff to get Odin. What a day.

I preferred MEST over Trio, and 64's shells just don't play well with my ear. Hopefull I can demo a Forte one day and see what the controversy there is about

As much as Odin didn’t suit my sound preferences I’ll easily admit it’a a top notch IEM, I’m sure you’ll love it.
Rereading my impressions on Odin that I posted on this thread, it read like a love letter and I don't think any other iem has impressed me that much.

I've always been an Empire fanboy having owned 5 of their iems across the Olympus and EP/X lines, so it may have been.... Inevitable

Vitaly and I are going to have a truck top fight on the 401 if he says Noir is better than Odin.

Bold of you to assume Vitaly is gonna say Noir. Then again....


Winner takes all (iems)?

So far the Noir has been the undefeated for him lol

So we shall see.

and yes, winner takes all 😂

What do you guys think of this reply and would you still like to be their customer? Don't want to mention their reputable name... Could have been a hard day for the guy who replied to me..

Definitely unacceptable if you were paying for a new item/full price IMO. For B-stock, not as surprised although I would definitely want to know if no cable was included in a b-stock purchase. Missing eartips I can mostly understand.

I got a similar reply from Audeze last year about my B-Stock LCDi4 order. I asked if the Bluetooth Cipher cable was included with my order and they don’t have a way of knowing that.

However, they told me if my order didn’t have a Bluetooth Cipher cable in it, they are willing to ship one to me if I really needed it. It turns out, my order did come with both Cipher cables. Side note: the quality of the B-stock LCDi4 I got is just amazing. I seriously can’t tell this thing is B-stock besides little bits of excess glue on my IEMs, everything else was basically brand new, what a steal!
