flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

Thahks for the vote of confidence guys. Guess I have to keep buying gear and keep up with them reviews eh? Wait a minute...
I am looking forward to see what you have up your sleeve! :D
A simple and question to spice things up a bit. If I already got the Zeus-XR + SP1000. And I am in front of a crossroad, for my goal in 2018 -2019.
Either go towards the cable route: something like Effect Audio Horus, PW1960 or TOTL IEM route: VE8 (or Phantom or others). Which one would I get the most benefit or improvements? There will only be one and it will be the only goal for headgear. It will be too greedy to have two goals.

I would assume most answers would lean towards the IEM route?
To be honest, I would personally go the IEM route, despite my love of shiny new cables. Having a couple of different sounding TOTL CIEMs would be much more tempting. If you are not really looking for a complimentary sound to add to your Zeus, then a cable can make sense, but it will be important to make sure you like the synergy and feel it offers enough change/improvement to justify the price of something like Horus. I understand the synergy with Zeus is very good, but there is no substitute for a demo and hearing it yourself.

I received my CE-05. My first impression is very positive.

Awesome work, Sammy! I personally haven't heard the Zombie, but I really enjoyed the Solar when I heard it in Singapore; one of the smoothest, musical IEMs I've ever heard. :)

You did a great job with the Saturn Sammy! I keep going back to them even though I should be working on my next reviews, just because I love them so much.

I am sending them to another reviewer soon.

Looking forward to seeing (and hopefully hearing) the new releases!

A new pair of guests arrived this morning, all the way from Cologne. Many thanks to the guys at Vision Ears for giving me the opportunity to review their lovely VE5! :D


So happy for you, man! Is that a universal or a full-fledged custom unit? Regardless, though, I can't wait to see your extended and thorough thoughts on the IEM you've been hounding (pun intended) for the past few months. I'd also like to compare your thoughts to mine, which may or may not be coming early next week. :wink:

Yeah, really happy to have them for a few weeks! They are demo units, although they seem different from the ones I demoed earlier, so I have shot off an email to see if I remembered that correctly. These appear smaller and are soooo comfortable. :D

I have been eagerly anticipating your thoughts on the VE5, so am looking forward to reading them!

Them is a key word in my upcoming review. :wink:

Nah, it’s nothing new. Just a larger scale review than what I’m used to.
Just announced!
