I haven't been offended yet, so you boys need to add more cussin' and swearin'.
Honestly, this is a waste of my time
Especially considering you didn't even rhyme

But if you want to be offended it's all the same
I'll give you what you came for: Bugs Bunny is lame

oh, you guys are all just a bunch of bad-arse audio gangsters, not a single nursery rap-rhyme? so, here we go!
Oh I don't know, I think I got pretty close to that with mine. Hence the mildly unimpressed pug at the end. :D

Before the MS, I would have easily been able to hang with you guys. Now, NO WAY, lol....that part of the cognitive is GONE forever, but I HAVE been enjoying the last few pages! Thanks all!!!

I also don't think any of you are THAT BA, :wink:..... (because so many of you seem to be DD guys along with the BA's )

Yes
They took the idea from the automotive sector, using this pattern basically flatten the shape of the cars hiding the details.
But it’s definitely not the case with this iems.
Looking at the video on Facebook the design is very luxurious, it creates an idea of 3D shapes.
Had a quick chat with Sebastian over at Vision Ears to double check and he confirmed...
- The Erlkönig are shown covered in a prototype foil similar to that used for prototype cars
- The foil will be removed officially on May 10th to reveal the IEMs for the first time
- At Canjam Singapore the Erlkönig will be shown, but only with one of the signatures and still covered in foil

Thanks for the update, I still like this “prototype” design, if I find the right pattern I might use it for the next iem I’ll order :ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile:

Oh yes, absolutely! I love it and it does look great to have the IEMs and the cable match as well. Perhaps we should drop a hint along those lines to Eric, @EffectAudio, since they are working closely with CIEM companies like Empire Ears, Vision Ears and Jomo. "Bring your custom experience to the next level!" :D

Who knows... Erlkonig might not even be its real name... :wink:

Looks like they are trying to foil any attempts at discovering their trade secrets.

Rumor has it that VE redecorated their offices.
