I’d be more interested in this if VE used EST’s instead for the highs. BA treble is just inferior these days but maybe i’ll be surprised?

Everything these days is about implementation and not as much about driver type.

So excited now, for availability/logistics reasons I'm going to have to wait until the end of September now...
My patience will surely be rewarded, I'm sure 🎷🎷
There is also no doubt of the pleasure in which VE will still provide me.
I will come back with 🫡

Oh crap, this sounds so darn good. First thing that hits me are the vocals. It's so thick and warm, feels like like a comfortable hug from the artist. Absolutely a step up from the VEX

Hi Mate

I own the VE Phonix , EE Odin, UM Multiverse Mentor, Noble kublai khan

I can tell you the highs in the phonix are incredible , the BA they have there is unbelievable , and I wouldn’t say that it’s less anything then the Odin or the Kublai khan which has electrostatic

Have never tried high end IEM. How something like this compares to full size kilobuck headphones, i wonder.

VEX have amazing treble (and actually are amazing overall) and they used 1DD + 9 BA ☺️

But the highs in Elysium Annihilator 2023 are far better 😁

I haven’t tried the annihilator… the phonix highs are superb
Thanks for the reply! I’ve always been interested in the phonix but haven’t had the chance to audition them! I’ve had the VE8 of theirs for a few years now and still love coherent they are with such a lovely tuning. Probably the most coherent iem i’ve ever heard!

If you are a SP3K owner, do give it a try. It might not be the most resolving IEM, but it is truly tuned for long term listening and general musical enjoyment.

Now to be able to afford SP3K and Aura.....

Knowing what I know, if I was to start fresh, assuming I have the funds for it, I would simply buy the Aura and SP3Kcu and never look back.
