I too miss Odin for that amazing bass but I’m also going to wait and see what Empire bring out next. Was chatting with @HiFiHawaii808 & @discord earlier today about the new EE stuff. Pretty excited to see what they do ideally an Odin with slightly more bass, a bit less upper mids and more Annihilator-ish upper treble

That would be something I’m quite keen to get

 

[Whazzzup]

Yes…. More indoor trade shows, yummy…..lol

Did my usual 'have a quick listen' before packing it up for classifieds... IE900 has to stay - an IEM that is ultra comfortable and portable, great isolation, fantastic battery and not compromising on SQ while on the go. I used to travel a lot for work prior to covid and while it hasn't recommenced as yet, it likely will soon. I can't think of a better travel solution for my needs than ZX300 and IE900... ZX300 already travelled many miles with me prior to covid.

I did manage to list ZEN PRO and Penon Vortex however... very reluctantly

BTW, if anyone interested, I'm open to a trade on ZEN PRO for a 4.4mm / 2-pin cable of similar original value, $899... ideally Plussound or Dr Juggles but open to suggestions!

Oh boy this better be worth it haha.

Has anyone hear Elise Audio IEMs? Are they any good? The marketing spiel is a bit off-putting:

"Additionally, IEMs on the market face these issues:

• Uneven frequency response leading to unnatural sounding peaks and dips in audio playback
• Tuning is intentionally held back so that a ‘higher-end’ model can be released subsequently"

I can think of a few IEMs in the recent poll that defy those two characterizations.

Also, are they suggesting that the tuning of their 'lower-end' models is as good?

And is it just me or does the description "earth shattering dynamics" come across as a bit alarming?

(for you Star Wars fans out there)

This morning walk to take the trash and recycling down to the driveway entrance.
Listening to Snarky Puppy Sylvia.

Some thriving ferns on the way back up.

I really should continue downsizing lol, but I’ve stopped… For now

I’ve recovered enough funds for the time being and, as sad as this sounds, I’m finding it difficult to let go of anymore pieces of gear. Also I missed Elysian X and U12t after selling them so I re-bought them. I think I’m failing at this

You managed to find another X for sale? lol
Considering how limited X is, there are way more X on resale in Head-fi compared to Annihilator

 

[Royal Navy]

Today I re-bought the IER-Z1R Price is now only $1300 for a brand new set. And I couldn't resist the urge to have it back.
Now with the best bass Z1R, the best treble Annihilator and the best all-rounder U12t, I believe I can take a break from shopping for a while.

That’s Jewel/Traillii territory.

Hopefully I’ll have mine early august. They’re supposed to ship at the end of the month and I was lucky enough to get in the first batch. I have high but reasonable expectations for this set.

Probably because X is Universal and most bought Annihilator in CIEM ...

It took me quite a while to convince myself that it wasn't time to think about the Storm yet. It’s called Storm because it's born to wipe out our wallet

At that price, I might as well forget it exists!

I still won't be able to stop myself from reading impressions.

Nah, Annihilator has been in the market for years, and the Universal turnaround time is faster and cheaper than the CIEM. There are definitely more Annihilator Universals than 35 units of X
