I am in possession of the ERLKonig. I have only listened to it for about 30 minutes. It is spectacular.

I wish I could, but we have had a lot of trouble shipping to Canada for some reason in the past when we tried so we stopped working Canadian tours. I am really sorry.

What do you like better about them?
I’ve had more time to listen now although limited due to my 2 month old and 2 1/2 year old at home. Thinking my hobby is shifting to watches now that I can’t listen at home like before 😔. Overall I think the EVE is smoother up top vs VE8 which I prefer. Vision Ears knows how to tune their mids and those I feel are almost equal from memory. Bass qty for me is ok on the EVE, although for my personal taste I would have appreciated a little more sub extension. But overall comparing prices this one is a winner and for VE prices it’s a great offering. VEs universals are very comfortable, but with these I’m experiencing a lot of pressure from the suction with silicon tips. Also liked the German Flag color tips provided although I could not fit them since I was too scared to force them into the nozzles.

Interesting.. did you own a VE8 ciem or did you hear the uni? From everything I've read, the uni has some sibilance that the custom version doesn't exhibit. I'm hoping that what you didn't like!

I recently bought an EVE20, and while it's pretty great, I was actually hoping for smoother highs, so hearing that from you worries me because I want a VE8 lol

Just received the east coast kit. VE8 & Elysium. Just came with the case. Are tips suppose to be included? I also noticed that the filter is missing on the Elysium.

I've finally got a chance to sample the monitors briefly. The Elysium seems like it has a shortage in the right monitor (or cable). It went out a few times and I had to move the cable for it to come back in. I'll try with my personal cable soon and update you guys on this.

Bummer, hopefully the missing filter doesn't affect the SQ. Yes, there are supposed to be tips in the box. This seems to happen a lot. Do you have tips you can use?

I live in Logansport, IN and would like to participate in the tour, if it is still ongoing. I agree to follow the terms of the tour. I plan on doing a full review on my YT channel and posting impressions on head-fi. I would like to take the challenge of all available VE to compare and review. I have emailed my required ID verification documentation to billb@cleardiff.com.

Will add you. Please note that there are 3 separate tours in this one. Signing you up for all, let me know if you had a different idea.
