At least 50 hours I would say.Picked up my EXT from Musicteck on Friday. How many hours of burn-in are you guys saying they need?

I concur… started to notice it after around 30 hours but 50 would certainly do the trick.At least 50 hours I would say.
How does EXT rank in your collection?I concur… started to notice it after around 30 hours but 50 would certainly do the trick.

What kind of music do you listen to? I have the legend x and atlas in my collection because I love bass and mid-upper treble. Definitely not a fan of upper mids (2k-4k) which is why I sold my Odins. The reason I ordered the EXT is because I've been looking for a signature like that but a bit more neutral than the other two. Rock/hip-hop sounds great on the X and just hip-hop works well for the atlas. Hoping the EXT performs well in those genres but with a bit better mid performance and clarityI wonder if anyone else gets the same first impression as me- ie the EXT is an absolute no-go.
I did read that someone else reported that the mids were lacking a lot and bass was overpowering but it seems like these issues disappeared after a period of burn in.
Naturally, I would be more than happy to eat crow and actually buy a pair after all.
That's fine not to like EXT (I absolutely love mine though). According to someone (sorry, forgot his name), the EXT already had 100 hours burn in when you received it. I dont think further burn in would make huge differences.I wonder if anyone else gets the same first impression as me- ie the EXT is an absolute no-go.

I don't focus on a single genre as my collection is super diverse. From pop to folk to jazz to electronic to rock etc etc.What kind of music do you listen to?

How long did you have the ext? They need a good burn in for the dds to settle, then the cohesion is sublime.I don't focus on a single genre as my collection is super diverse. From pop to folk to jazz to electronic to rock etc etc.
Sadly, I didn't listen to the EXT nearly long enough to compare to my other IEMs, but a very unscientific observation led to me moving on to other gear I have.
The test in question was to listen to a few specific tracks with both the EXT and my Obravo Ra 21 C-Cu (which, admittedly, is a rather exotic IEM in itself);
The Ra sounded far more spacious with more clearly defined mids as the bass didn't steal the show to the point of me hearing the mids as recessed (which was the case with the EXT);
I guess that the EXT will be quite a bit more neutral than both Odin and Legend X.
A review's gonna take a little while. My initial impressions are a couple photos away from being ready. Gimme a day or two.I just noticed MusicTeck changed the status on the Phönix from pre-order to order, so it appears it is now in stock. I’m waiting for @Deezel177 ‘s review …

I've never learned to love an IEM. Time only seems to solidify my initial 10 min impressions. Oh, for sure I've felt like I needed to due to cost or to not feel like I am the only one, and everyone else likes it, so what's wrong with me, etc.I wonder if anyone else gets the same first impression as me- ie the EXT is an absolute no-go.

Yes. Check out Audio Tiers thread and websiteIs there going to be a phonix/ext USA tour?
Dude, have you been living under a rock?! Where you been?Signing up for the tour on your site Bill. Theres so much to chose from now, I fear I'll be picking up at least 2 TOTL Iems since I havent bought anything since A18t release. Considering trailli, ext, phonix, odin, indigo, fusang, eco, erlkonig, m5, some new 64 flagship. Thanks for great impressions, one question. Do both ext and phonix have more or less impactful mid/sub bass than A18t/U18t?
