Hey all, just wanted to share my FlipEars Aegis review!
This is a 1 DD + 1 BCD IEM. In my video and a few other places, I didn't have the opportunity to confirm but per the marketing material, the Aegis actually has a different DD than the FlipEars Legion. Same size, just different.
As usual, here's a general breakdown of pros/cons!
Pros: -Warm, bassy sound
-Bass is deep, punchy, engaging, bassier sounding than the Legion
-Mids are forward, excellent detail with instruments and vocals are full and excellent. Note weight is phenomenal. Very full presentation on mid range.
-Treble is pleasant, smooth
-Technical performance is good - soundstage is amazing, good overall separation
-Accessories are amazing! Seriously, great collection of tips, cable, carrying case.
-Gorgeous looks, smaller shell size could be a better fit vs Legion
Cons: -Not as balanced as Legion - this is a more musical, colored presentation of music.
-Treble is tilted down so wouldn't satisfy people craving balance or treble
-Ideally, neutral source is King here as it's already pretty colored in tonality. Can get a bit tooooo warm with Tubes (not a bad thing but finding the right balance is good)
-Not as technical as Legion. Bass can sound a bit softer/boomier.
Overall: the Aegis is one of my favorite basshead sets under $1k and is the best blend of bass, warmth and engagement.
It's a 5/5 for me and an easy recommendation. It is so dang guuuuud.
