Great list would love to hear the Thummim one day

Might have to copy your tier idea eventually, it’s getting too hard to decide between a few haha

Hahah I'll try to find a demo of it. In the meantime I'm getting that ultra limited Phantom that was created in collaboration with EA, I'll be reviewing that soon

Try the Legend X SE if you can get your hands on one. It’s also a collaboration with EA. It sounds a lot more balanced than the regular LX imo. Would love to hear your thoughts

There's a few people I know that would kill for one of these. Looks like an awesome IEM, but I'm mostly anticipating the Odin and their other 1-2 releases right now

Yeah, the Odin sounds like it would be on another level (hopefully)

New update:

1. Sony Z1R
2. Campfire Audio Andromeda MW10 / 64 Audio U12T
3. Shure KSE1200
4. Audeze LCDi4
5. Anole VX
6. Campfire Andromeda v3
7. Sony M9
8. Campfire Audromeda Gold
9. Empire Ears Legend X
10. Empire Ears Zeus XIV

Based on my preferences. Recently got the MW10 version of the Andromeda and it's a detail monster. I'd say almost on par w/ the U12T in technicalities but with much more pleasing tonality and very enjoyable to listen to. Nothing really beats the Z1R yet though, I only wish the fit was better. Still, not bad w/ the MW10. I can wear for hours w/ good isolation + comfort and an extremely enjoyable sound.

Interesting list.... why (in your eyes) does the Z1R best all the others?

Attempt at tiers (ranked as all-rounders disregarding DD vs. BA bass-- and only IEMs I've owned or spent a substantial amount of time with):

S Tier
Solaris SE
VE8
u12t

S- Tier
OG Solaris
Anole VX
Legend X

A+ Tier
IER Z1R

A Tier
Atlas

 

[Ryokan]

Why is S the top tier in rankings why not make A+ top tier?

It’s a scheme which many around here know...which I think has its origins in the grade schools of Asia

I admire your effort and organizational capacity, even if I disagree with you

 

[Rockwell75]

This thread will always have a special place in my heart as it's one of the first ones I really got into here on Head Fi and it was very helpful for me early on.

 

[Cactus108]

1. U12t
2. Ck Andromeda
3. Imr r1
4. Tin Hifi P1
5. RHA T20

The difference in separation and imaging I felt switching from the r1 to the andromeda is the same jump I got from the Andromeda to the U12t. The imaging and separation of the u12t is remarkable to say the least. No regrets.

Solaris much?
