Is this what your are thinking now?

Ummmm no was making sure Jolena was not a mid bass fatiguant as was the noirs

humm, so Noirs has a mid bass fatigue?

It has a strong presence there. And an overload of bass quantity probably not like Lx but its too strong for my taste after such
long ownership

A quick question for my esteemed, more experienced IEM audiophiles. One of my favorites will not stay connected to the two pin cable. It's not the cable, it's fine with all my other in-ears, any advice on getting it to stay in place is appreciated!

You forgot the "DD"

Tiger Ears is DD bass only

I had that issue with my Plussound Cables and my Empire stuff. I have flat hobby pliers that I used to flatten the pins a bit.

I think you might try to get the manufactures to take a look at the socket rather than mess with the cable though.

*Just sharing this on here as well.

Finally after a month-long wait. I finally had the time and energy to finish my Empire Ears ESR MKII Initial Impressions Video.

I'm still clearly new at making videos lol so bear with me still.

Make sure you guys use the timestamps/chapters if you don't want to watch the full thing.

I just wanted to make it a quick one, but I ended up wanting to listen to more variety of genres with it.

I'm very curious about this and the 1960s clone. Can you post a pic of your 1950s clone please? Have you used it with the LX?

I can say that the 1950’s + LX pairing is very good. It tightens things up all over, and the base regions feel more controlled as a result, allowing the mids and highs to shine through. There is also much added clarity and detail. Of course these are my impressions and it’s obviously best to hear it first hand to see if it works for you.

I am currently having a demo of the £6,000 Obravo Ra21-c and testing it up against the 1950’s + LX combo. Early days yet but they are not sounding that far apart.

I received my replacement VE 8 8th Anniversary a couple days ago—no broken nozzle this time—so I’ve been able to give it a listen and let me just say, sonically, this is a highly musical IEM, perhaps the most musical in my collection. More to say as I get more burn-in time.

Addictive little suckers aren't they... Very technical as well given the sound sig. Love the mid bass response and complex mids.

My next step is to replace the rather generic cable. It’s surprising that such an expensive iem comes with a $60 cable (according to the VE website).

Have you seen 64 Audio stock cables?

Have you seen 64 Audio stock cables?

I still use the stock cable with my A18s simply because I don't use it enough to invest in a third party option for now, and it's actually ridiculous how bad it is lol. $3000 IEM with a cable that feels like it's made of paper.

The "premium" cables that come with their universals aren't THAT bad to be honest, I didn't mind the one that came with the Trio.

Have you seen 64 Audio stock cables?

I got to spend some time with a friend’s tia Fourte, so yes, I do recall. Since both VE and 64 Audio began business catering to the Pro side, I suppose that may have something to do with it.

It's horrendous. I didn't even listen to it before switching to the Labkable Samurai III... I did test it out at a later date and although it didn't bottleneck the performance as much as I had thought, it really didn't do the VE8 any favours either. In fact, I can see why some may have heard the treble as a little hot when I switched back to It for a couple of songs.
