@Hawaiibadboy

I have one coming sometime this month if you want to wait for objective measurements (and subjective impressions) before melting your wallet.


 I am planning on doing just that bro

I'd like to know how much it drives into 16 and 32ohm and if it is the unicorn IEM/Over ear solution

Hawaiibadboy Funny you mention the E18. I just bought an Aegis to power my 2.5s. I crave the bass, but want an overall clear sound, with a powerful bottom end. But I hate stacks, that's why I chose the Aegis over the E18. I want something a little clearer than the X3, but something with crisp highs, and a heavy bottom end. Your video review of the Aegis convinced me.

 The Aegis will thump the 2.5's with very clear bass. It's a great item. I need something that can push my 2.5 and sz2k and the e18 does that perfectly.  The highs and detail of the Aegis are very nice and the 2.5's can get a bass workout (EQ...everything needs some eq down low

I'll use PowerAmp as my player, but it's nice to know I'll still give my eardrums a workout.

I don't have any overears, unless you count my UE6000's that I use for my XBoxOne.


Should work great. The E18 rec was for a chronic basshead (like me) with the xb90ex

ONKYO player is the best at getting bass on a non rooted device in my experience. FYI

Headstage Arrow 5TX (Enhanced Bass Boost)
 
It's here. It's tiny.
 
Bass Frequency: Low, Medium, High
Bass Boost: 0, I, II
Treble Boost: 0, I, II
Gain: 0, I, II
A dac
 
I don't know how the F all of this got packed into something of this size.
 
So far, it sounds surprisingly good. Perhaps not as clean as the Vorzuge, but... well, look at a graph:
 

 
What. Bring on the BASS.
 
I have my Fostex TH600s shaking on my head right now.
 
Treble boost is 3dB or 6dB.
 
Bass boost is all over the place based on the combos. The Teal colors are at the Low frequency, Purple colors are Medium frequency, and Red colors are High frequency (Upper Bass).

Hey bassheads.  I've got my lightly used X3 and an extra battery with memory card on sale in the sales forum.  I just can't wait for my Cozoy Aegis, since I've been using my phone for the last few days, and I've fallen in love with the interface.  The X3 will power damn near anything to basshead levels, and the battery in it is strong, but I bought a second, thinking I'd keep it for a while.  Now I've decided to sell it.  PM me if you're interested.
 
If I don't like the Cozoy, there's always the E18.

 I think you should like it but if you wanna hole punched in your face the e18 is eazy peazy.
 
Add a link to your sale in your post if you want
