Is there a reason why Beyerdynamic Xelento is not in the shootout?..

It's TOTL and it sounds great? Better than the K10 I had.

It does have an enjoyable sound. The K10 can do a lot but less enjoyable for me. But the Beyer iem didnt have that "OMG Damn need this" sound.

Do you own it, or just heard it? Care to share some impressions, I don't know much about it. 
 
It's missing for the same reason many other iems are not in the shootout, can't do em all 

 
 
Good luck with the fate of your country today..

Got a rare collector's item on loan; the 'original' 5-Way, that took Gzregorz way longer to make than the later Ref and Ult due to its complexity. #IemHistory

Nice! I'm curious how the original holds up to the Ultimate in your opinion

Unfortunately I cannot get as good a seal as with other iems we have shared due to its size, so there is a small disclaimer here. However, it seems to be quite different from Ult. Ult is warmer, and more natural in tone. Original is relatively brighter, and more transparent, with more clarity on the stage. It has a more prominent upper midrange, where Ult is smoother. Ult has more body in its vocals, Original has less lower midrange. Overall, Ult is warmer and smoother; Original is clearer, and more transparent.

I can't believe we've been going for 76 pages, 90% of which is probably nonsense - bare with me people, almost there 

 
Thanks for the loaner bud

Sorry, unfortunately not. But others on the thread have, if you have a question they just might answer.
