I got my zombie today, thanks sammy, I am going to try at home.
Congrats! Let us know your impressions and with which cable or cables are you use with them. I think the sound tightens up with burn in whether mind burn in or iem burn in.

Thanks a lot. Cables; rhapsodio 2.98/8 and labkabel samurai 3.
she got that rightmy wife says is "pretty."
Hello Rhapsodio Friends, I posted this over in Flinkenick's shootout thread, but will post here as well.
Thought I would post some quick impressions of the Mad Scientist's (Sammy from Rhapsodio) new creation called the Rhapsodio Eden. Here we have a single dynamic driver of which I know nothing about, housed in a pure silver shell that my wife says is "pretty."
You will immediately see some resemblance to the Galaxy V1 as far as shell design, but where the Galaxy V1 did not fit my ears at all, these have a longer nozzle and a slightly different shape that works much better for me. They don't "disappear" in my ears (and actually that might cause medical issues if they actually did), but they are leaps and bounds better than the Galaxy V1 for me from an ergonomic standpoint. I opted to pair these with the latest 4-wire SG 2.98 silver/gold Rhapsodio cable. I'm too cheap for the 8-wire right now and wanted max comfort since I thought I might have a back and forth fight with the shells. I am pleasantly surprised on both fronts.
So on to the sound: neutral. A fairly large departure from any other Rhapsodio IEM I have listened to, these really go for the natural, neutral, flat frequency response. While the Galaxy V1 sort of did the same thing, the treble tuning on these is completely different to my ears and the bass is quite tame on the Eden. I would ask for more bass, being an unapologetic basshead, but Sammy beat me over the head when I said such a thing and he insisted that these are not aiming to be bass monsters. Instead, they are so coherent, natural and are as close to "as the musician intended" as I have ever heard. In fact, they make my Dita Dream sound almost a bit artificial. This tuning won't be for everyone, but it's nice to see Sammy push the envelope and go in different directions. I've had them for a few weeks now and they have certainly benefited from burn-in.
Anyway, I'll continue to listen to these beauties and give more impressions as they come. I may write a review as well, we will see. The TL;DR of this is that these are very neutral, detailed, open and airy sounding with almost no color to the sound. If I had to pick an area where these shine, it would most certainly be male and female vocals, with the mids being ever so slightly forward.
@flinkenick has a pair of these in-hand too, so expect some much better impressions from him
Cheers,

Does the EDEN has the driver as Galaxy v2? Need to pay a visit to Sammy soon but am afraid to walk away much poorer....
