I've got a Mojo 2 on the way! It should be here tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to experimenting with the lossless DSP with EXT... Going to boost the upper mids on EXT as I am a little partial to them. So much room for experimentation! The mid bass boost region of the DSP worked wonders on Odin when I tested it.

so, is there any chance of them making EXT custom?
They have no plans to because the EST are already housed in the nozzle and that area is too large for most peoples canals in CIEM , they also use the faceplate for venting.
That’s what I was told when I asked them.

So finally after 5 days I unboxed my Phonix! Currently pairing it with R8, already in love with the vocals, and the musicality! Not sure why people are saying bass is low, although quite clearly it's BA bass, but enough for me. I only bought this set for vocal based genres. Will check how it pairs with M17 later.
Tried cable swap with doctorjuggles 8W pure silver, immediately the difference was there, sound became it bit more warm, bass had more body with the expense of the tightness, and I think little clarity got lost as well. I went back to the stock cable and I so far I prefer this pairing.

I loved the VE8, but am struggling to enjoy the Elysium. I had planned to buy an EXT, but given that I am not yet enamored with the Elysium I am having second thoughts on this.
Elysium and EXT are two very different IEMs. What don’t you like about the Elysium?
Its early days with it to be fair, but whereas the VE8 literally leapt out at me and sounded fantastic and exciting from the off, this feels less 'full' I guess you could say. I will spend more time with it tonight so I can have a better opinion.
You should definitely listen to them first before buying if you can. If you liked the VE8 and not the Elysium, then maybe you should consider Phonix. Phonix is the most like VE8 between Ely, Phonix, EXT. But, it is a step up in resolution and quality.
EXT and Elysium are very different IEMs. EXT has a lot of bass. Ely is bass light. So, the music that they are best with are completely different.

I agree I think that is what I am missing with the Elysium, that pleasing bass of the VE8 which for me isnt quite there on the Elysium. It loses some of the fun and excitement I got from the VE8, probably not best suited to my preference in music which is quite low-end driven.

While I’ve not heard V8, I find Ely has ample bass but unobtrusively.
I’d like to recommend trying cable(s) alternate to stock, and use of cp145 stock spin fit tips. Also, med to hi gain, balanced, depending on source. Cheers

I just put a Norne Audio 20.5 gauge copper cable on my Ely and damn does that improve the bass and everything else
