Empire Ears - Odin

Get a pair of Empire Ears Odin and call it a decade. For a real answer, I like the Truthear stuff, namely the Reds and the Hexa.

Empire ears Odin - I tried them out at a convention. They were so bright I thought my ears were going to bleed.

Kinera odins. Great all arounders. We're my dailies prior to empire ears odins

I somehow enjoy Odin's bass more than the Z1R. It has that bouncy and loose feel that I enjoyed. I think the LCDi4 being that low is just due to not finding the right EQ but that is just me.

Headphones: OG HE-6> Susvara=Utopia> Sr-009> HD580=He-500 I would say the Susvara is objectively my best headphone, but my heart still belongs to the He-6. The Sr-009 is a beast and can easily outperform any of my headphones; However, it's very recording/genre specific. IEM: EE Odin> IER-Z1R> Shure KSE-1500= Audeze LCD-i4 > 64audio u12t Fallen out from the IEM game a while ago after getting my Odin. It's still head and shoulders above anything I own and is still my go to to this day. The Z1R's bass does feel thicker than the Odin's, as well as the 1500 being more detailed than it; However as an entire package, nothing quite beats the Odin for me. P.S. I completely feel you on the LCD-4s man. Loved their sound but they were just not practical in the long run :(
