Elysian X and Elysium EXT next!

Very curious to get your thoughts on both of those. Both very much on my radar too.

 

[proedros]

Yeah honestly if something keeps me happy for a week it’s money well spent I guess I should just buy from 64 exclusively, they’re the only brand that’s been able to keep me this happy for this long

I’ve got pretty high hopes for the IE900 though, I’ve been hearing great stuff about it

I will look forward to your impressions. I am very interested in the 900. I have a good Senn selection… iem800, 800s, hd800s 650. Right now the Legend X is my favorite as I do like bass which I understand the 900 excels in that department.

 

[Scubadevils]

Bass is stunning on IE900, so much that it often restricts what I choose to listen to, automatically scrolling through albums looking for those that I know will excite me the most with IE900!

Aes Dana 'Inks' for example is spectacular on IE900, brilliantly produced electronic with darker techno tracks - the pounding kick drums sound absolutely incredible, reminds me of being in a club back in the good old days.

The new U6t has that all-black style, if that's your thing Personally, I like the color design and build quality, but their universal shell stems lack the lip to hold the tips in place. It's a gentle way to upsell their custom I guess. The sound is somewhere between the Nio and U12t or U18t. Seems promising, might be worth a try

 

[Nostoi]

About this entire thread in general, cf. Schopenhauer

"Man is a compound of needs which are hard to satisfy; that their satisfaction achieves nothing but a painless condition in which he is only given over to boredom; and that boredom is a direct proof that existence is in itself valueless, for boredom is nothing other than the sensation of the emptiness of existence.

Even sensual pleasure itself consists in a continual striving and ceases as soon as its goal is reached. Whenever we are not involved in one or other of these things but directed back to existence itself we are overtaken by its worthlessness and vanity and this is the sensation called boredom."

“On the Vanity of Existence."

He probably wasn't writing about TOTL IEMs given it was written in the 19th century, but he's prescient all the same.

Off topic, Andi at Kopfhörerboutique is indeed very nice and worth supporting.

I love the bleak reality but timely guidance of Schopenhauer...

Nice to see that someone quote Cioran.

Cioran - now we're talking!

I'm excited that you're excited for the IE 900. When are you getting it? Need to have something to bookmark on HF this week!

I'm not certain yet, I'm guessing it'll ship out today and be here within a day or two. It's a present for the missus though, I heard it's absolutely tiny so it should fit her ears quite well. I'll be able to spend some time with it this week and post some impressions too
