Thanks @Deezel177! I only asked because @aaf evo photos a few pages back looks like they had been removed.

The retail box comes with extra screens and instructions for replacement.

What third party cables is everyone using with the EXT? I managed to get the fit down just fine. Now I kind of want a different cable, the braiding/material on this stock one itches the back of my ears like crazy lol.

I heard it’s great with orphy…

I just swapped to this ghetto FiR cable I had made a few years back, much more comfortable around my ears. I also noticed in the instruction manual VE says these isolate -25dB, that's interesting. I feel it is less but maybe that was before I managed to get a properly comfortable fit, will have to keep an eye out on this now that I've found some better tips to use.

Yeah, they had that with the EVE20 as well. VE are the objective, uncontested kings as far as packaging and accessories are concerned.

PWA First Times cable. Improves technicalities like soundstage and improved detail/resolution without material changes in sound signature.

I tried the EA Centurion, it was also great for those two items above but it was a bit too bright on some tracks for me.

Which tips did you end up going for that fixed your fit?

I'm being cheap, I don't want to spend that much. I'll probably keep this FiR cable on here, its a 4 wire SPC, it's quite hideous but its comfortable so that's really all I care about right now.

Oh man, these tips that I had from when I bought the OG Erlkonig in April of 2020. I used them back with the Erlkonig like once, they're pretty much perfect for me on the EXT. They give me that "proper insertion feel" but the silicone is super soft and its short so it doesn't really go into my canal and I can barely feel them.

If EXT ends up taking the throne for me, I might ask the good doctor to design a matching black and purple-themed Cardas cable for me, direct to Pentaconn of course.

Gotta say those are the weirdest looking tips I've seen. What are they?

I have no idea, some double flange silicone tips that came with Erlkonig. They're about 1mm longer than a JVC Spiral Dot ++ and they have a very wide bore opening.

I heard the Eletech Iliad was a good pairing? I am hoping this is the case. I happen to have an Iliad over here waiting for something great to attach to it.

Satin Audio Athena 8 braids with my EXT.

On a different note, any Adele fans here that care to sample her new album on EXT? This is the type of album I'm going to grade EXT's mids on. It'll also be a good test to hear how EXT picks up on the subtle but deep rumble that appears on some of these tracks.

Did anyone else find the stock cable material/outer coating to be a little irritating or is it just me? Seems almost everyone has swapped the cable.
