Best Empire Ears IEMs

Empire Ears Raven

• Jays Audio: V/W Shaped. Energetic treble. Great tech. Fun bass and engaging signature. Overpriced?
• Precogvision: Sounds quite hi-fi and grand sounding, but coherency could use work - bass is distinct from the EST tweeters.

Astell&Kern x Empire Ears NOVUS

• Smirk Audio: Excellent bass dynamics and texture. Cold timbre and driver flex. Otherwise excellent technicalities and solid tuning. Cons: Driver flex, cold timbre.
• Drew / Audionotions: Very engaging IEM. Bass extends deep and hits hard and fast, mids are clear and lush with very good weight and tactility. Treble is clear without fatigue. It's a pretty warm IEM but has clarity that...

Empire Ears EVO

• Jays Audio: Great bass texture. BC driver actually works. Very well controlled but still impactful. Great resolution. Doesn't scale well because of spicy uppermids. Vocals often gets shouty on certain tracks,...
• Precogvision: An improvment over the LX SE's bass, but still lacking in the Odin's control. BC is no gimmick at least.

Empire Ears Odin

• Crin: A Legend X with the bass properly controlled and the resolution one step higher.
• Precogvision: High-clarity signature that invokes a sense of stateliness.
• Tim Tuned:  Well textured bass, good control, pleasing tones

Empire Ears Legend X SE

• Crin: A more upper-mid-forward variation of the original Legend X, which could come off as slightly more mid-recessed.
• Precogvision: Lacks control in the bass, but it's so fun. Excellent imaging performance that belies its tuning.

Empire Ears LEGEND-X

• Crin: High resolution hybrid flawed only by lack of control in the bass regions.
• Precogvision: Bass lacks texture, but a fairly holographic, "grand" presentation that is unique for a V-shaped response.
• Bad Guy Good Audio:  Bass, details,sparkle  Bass (too much for some genre) mids

Empire Ears VALKYRIE

• Crin: Lots of sub-bass with extremely thin mids. Adequate technicalities.
• Precogvision: Vibrant, intensive listen with some seriously awesome bass decay.
• Bad Guy Good Audio:  Shell caps..  Basshead for 1.5 g's?? GTFOH

Empire Ears Valkyrie MK.II

• Precogvision: Sounds basically the same as the original Valkyrie.

Empire Ears Hero

• Crin: Well-controlled bass emphasis with a less-well-controlled treble emphasis makes this hard to appreciate.
• Precogvision: Energetic sound signature with solid dynamics that's bottlenecked by an overzealous treble response.

Empire Ears ESR MK.II

• Precogvision: Solid layering chops and all-rounder; however, can sound overly sharp in the treble and generally plasticky.

Empire Ears Legend Evo

Empire Ears Bravado MK.II

• Precogvision: Valkyrie's darker, bloated brother.

Empire Ears Zeus XIV

• Crin: Top tier detail and resolution with poor tone and timbre reproduction.
• Precogvision: Wonky tuning and plasticky timbre, but pretty detailed.

Empire Ears Wraith

• Crin: A Zeus with almost nonexistent treble and clarity.
• Precogvision: This IEM's name about sums it up.
