    I have a pair of these and it's sometimes hard to explain to somebody why they are so special but you articulate the experience these IEM's provide very well. The way the treble extends and you hear things reverb and fade in the mix has almost a liquid quality to it that I find hard to express.

      Haha thank you and exactly. I sold the ones for the review and missed them every freaking day. Luckily I got a really good deal at CanJam New York and got my second and final pair. Something very special about the way they tuned these. So good.

    Another great review. I really like your ability to give me a sense of the experience and the flexibility of these iems.

    great vid, love my unit, for 1k this is insanely good.
    have you heard / will review annihilator 2023 and can share thoghts against the monrach mk3?
    obviously i just subbed :)

      Thank you sooo much. I finally was able to hear the Elysian Annihilator at CanJam New York. If it was available I would have gotten it to complement my Empire Ear Raven.
      It has a way of showcasing treble in such a beautiful way. Extended, airy, sparkly but never being harsh or any hint of semblance. Such a lovely tuning overall. So it to would compliment the monarch as well since to me it is a baby raven.

      would u say its a massive step up from mmk3?
      in terms of bass & famale and male vocals.
      considering them as an upgrade, would you agree or rather suggest another path? ("the weekend" is a great example of my music genre).
      thanks! :)

      @@heeku_ Not better but different. Monarch to me is more bass leaning where the annihilator is more treble leaning. So it honestly depends on which sound you like better. I’m thinking what you listen to would sound awesome if that’s the signature you’re looking for. Sub bass on annihilator isn’t bad at all. It can pound.

    Great review!
    1) How would these compare to the UM Mest mk2 in terms of imaging, soundstage, detail/resolution, etc.?
    2) If you haven't heard them (or forgot how they sound) then what about the same kinda comparison between the Pilgrim and the Mega 5 est?
    3) Would you eventually do a ranking list?

    • @Enigmafotos
      @Enigmafotos  Місяць тому

      1. I think I did a comparison in my mesk video. Detail resolution monarch. Soundstage and imaging mesk. Overall monarch but not by much. Just personal choice. Both awesome and would compliment each other.
      2. I have both pilgrim and noir but have yet to order the mega 5. I saw a graph which showed them definitely noir like so just off that I would like them because the noir are awesome for me.
      3. For sure. I have been formulating it in my head for months. My idea is that really tuning beats price. So the hype 4 is tuned so well it competes against and beats kilobuck iems that are tuned badly or maybe just not to my liking.

    Is it comparable to Raven?

      @Enigmafotos  4 місяці тому +2

      Yes very much so. The Raven has more separation and clarity. Bass hits harder. Tuning is so close. Why I love them both and think they compliment each other very well. Can’t lose with either one.

      @@Enigmafotos seems like the value proposition just isn’t there with the Raven. I even think the Odin is comparable to the monarch although I prefer the Odin’s tuning

      @@JaxxMono you are right about that to a point. I feel like the Odin is also a complement to the Raven and honestly if I had never heard Raven, then Odin and monarch could easily be the last two iems I ever buy.
