Nice, @Damz87 !

The le matches the z1 quite nicely.

hope you don't find these to have been over-hyped...

Definitely not over hyped. You did a good job jazzing us up. And they are gorgeous!

What setting did you settle on? Tks

@aaf evo - Completely agree with you. The engagement factor is insane. The detail retrieval is incredible. The clarity is like crystal.

@toaster They're very very good I suspect there's some brain burn-in required for me though. It's such a grand presentation of music. It's the most 'speaker-like' IEM that I've heard. Quite astonishing how huge it sounds.

Tip rolling at the moment and playing with the settings to see which one I like. Settings 2 & 1 are my favourite so far. Setting 1 feels more familiar to other IEM's I've heard with its elevated bass that closes in the sound a little bit. But even on setting 1, there's plenty of treble presence and air, and the mids don't seem congested at all.

What tips are you guys using?

I am using the 145’s currently. My Azla Sedna’s will not fit which is a bummer. The 145’s work well for me though. I also ordered the new Azla Xelastec 2 to see if that one might fit. I will let you all know if it does. The double flange tips were good as well. What is your experience?

I'm using the 145's at the moment too. I like the double flange's, but one of the L size tips arrived damaged (half of the flange is missing. Looks like its been torn off somehow) so I've asked Johannes if they can send me a new one.

Tried some Azla Sedna Lights and they were okay, but I found them a bit uncomfortable in comparison to the 145's and the double flanges.

Which setting are you liking the best?

@mvvRAZ was correct about the black shells being fingerprint magnets. Mine is already covered in prints. The included cleaning cloth will be getting some heavy use

I'm especially particular about prints though I think - I also got the Onyx Black faceplates and I've legit just been drooling over them as they sit in the box because I simply can't use them without getting them covered in prints

A friend was sending me pictures of the LE and I can't say that I wasn't drooling pretty badly...

The LE would probably drive you nuts then man lol... Day one and they’re already setting off my OCD. Might have to invest in some white gloves

While I’ve got you, can I ask if you’ve done any cable rolling on your Erlky? And if so, have you found any winning combos?

I have done but just a little for the time being. I’m waiting on a fat shipment from @Eric Chong, and as soon as that comes in I’ll be writing up a full cable post for the Erl - there’s one top secret cable that I think might sound especially good with the King

Wow, alright cool I’ll be waiting eagerly to hear your findings

I use the provided spinfits. The comfort for those has been the best for me so far.

What spinfits are included? CP145? CP100?

CP145 and 155 I believe.

I am still kind of deciding. I have been using number 2 lately. I do like 1 though as well. Depending on the recording, even 4 and 3 have sounded good. At the moment I am favoring 2 though. We will see, that might change. What have you been using?

I received this from VE:

1. Full bass
2. Reduced bass
3. Less bass
4. Less bass and reduced highs: with this setting you’ll feel that the mids be more in focus
5. 
   However I think setting 1 may have a slightly reduced highs.

Mine are still fine. I still have yet to need the cleaning cloth. I had sent the picture, mine are not showing any. I will monitor.

I've been switching between 1 & 2. 3 & 4 were too bass-thin for my preferences.

I also suspect a slight reduction in highs on 1. Not a huge amount though. The highs on 1 are still very detailed and open sounding to me.

@aaf evo I find the Erlky very comfortable with the CP145's too. Can get quite a deep fit and they feel very secure. Impressive for such a heavy IEM!

Yep! The weight does feel a bit weird in hand but they don’t bother my ears when I’m using them. The shell with that great round shape does wonders too.

Setting #2 is my favorite as I feel it’s best matched across all genres of music, I go to #1when I want some more thump though.
