Good sound can instantly elevate any gaming experience. With the Empire Ears Legend X IEM, you can experience true-to-life sound with realistic 3D positioning for an immersive gaming experience like no other.
Inside the Legend X's beautiful black shells are seven proprietary drivers - two W9 subwoofers and five custom Balanced Armature drivers for the mid, high-mid, high, and super high. The seven drivers are synced up through a 10-way synX Crossover System to ensure a well-balanced powerful sound.
Speaking of sound, the first thing you notice about the Legend X IEM is that monstrous bass, courtesy of the dual W9 subwoofers. The bass on the Legend X reaches very deep into the sub-bass, offering strong rumble with good texture and weight. Bass impact and slam are among the best you’ll ever hear from an IEM - you feel the bass in your chest, as kick drums and beats are presented with very good body and detail.
Typically, in-ear monitors with a strong emphasis on bass frequencies tend to overwhelm the rest of the sound spectrum, resulting in an overpowering sound where details and clarity are lost. The Legend X doesn’t have this problem - the Legend X’s sound is clear, accurate, and smooth, despite the strong bass response.
The midrange is very clear and tonality accurate, delivering wonderful vocals and instrument presentation. The treble is well-extended, offering good sparkle, air, and details, without sounding sharp or fatiguing. Overall, the Legend X IEM offers a very cohesive sound that will satisfy bassheads and detail enthusiasts alike.
The Legend X is an awesome choice for gaming, offering life-like sound with impressive positional accuracy - perfect for playing your favorite FPS or Action games. Hear explosions come alive and know exactly where your enemies are with accurate positional audio.
Legend X delivers impressive sound that many IEMs twice its price can only dream of. Powerful bass and balanced tuning combine to give you an immersive gaming and music-listening experience.

Empire Ears is known for their excellent bass-centric IEMs and the Legend Evo is no exception.
If you’re a drummer, you will love the Empire Ears Legend Evo’s powerful yet very detailed bass. Bass impacts are strong and there’s enough quantity to satisfy the most die-hard bassheads out there, but the presentation is very clean and tight.
Kick drums, snares, toms, and cymbals sound wonderful on the Legend Evo IEM. Kick drums and beats arrive with authority and impact, with a slam you feel in your head. Snare strikes are crisp - full of body and texture, and you can hear the snare drum vibrate and rattle on drum rolls. Cymbals sound crisp and don’t sound thin at all.
Mids and treble are clear and smooth on the Evo. The mids take a small step back in the mix but sounds true-to-life and natural. Vocals and instruments sound less forward, but there’s still very good clarity and resolution - you won’t miss out on any detail.
The treble on the Evo IEM is crystal clear but smooth - you won’t experience any fatigue or sharpness with this IEM, allowing you to go crazy on those hi-hats and crash cymbals without worry.
All of this is made possible by the Legend Evo’s updated driver setup, featuring a Bone Conduction driver paired with dual dynamic drivers and five Balanced Armatures. The bone conduction driver and updated W9 subwoofers provide excellent bass performance, while the custom BA drivers cover the rest of the frequencies with excellent tone and clarity.
Overall, the Empire Ears Legend Evo is an excellent choice for drummers looking for an IEM with strong bass impact and slam and a well-balanced midrange and treble tuning. Hear drum beats like never before with the Empire Ears Legend Evo.

The Empire Ears Odin is a great in-ear monitor that offers a balanced sound, wonderful vocal reproduction, and stunning looks. Singers will be proud to put on this IEM on stage or in the studio.
The Odin represents the best Empire Ears has to offer. Featuring an 11-driver setup consisting of W9 subwoofers, Balanced Armatures for the mids, and Electrostatic Drivers for the super-high frequencies, the Odin delivers a balanced and detailed listening experience like no other.
Bass is exceptional on the Odin IEM, thanks to those dual W9 subwoofers. The bass on the Odin is well-controlled and detailed. You’ll hear strong impacts and rumbles with very good clarity.
The midrange is exceptional, offering good separation between instruments while maintaining good clarity and tone. The treble is well-extended but can sound a bit thin on some treble-heavy tracks.
Vocal reproduction is where the Odin shines, delivering smooth powerful vocals with exceptional tonal accuracy. Male vocals sound weighty and full-bodied, while female vocals get very good air and breathiness to them. Vocals get the spotlight in the mix and are placed a bit forward for a more intimate sound.
The Odin impresses with its solid build quality and aesthetics. Its beautiful Bi-Frost-inspired multi-colored faceplates are instant head-turners, and the shells are smooth and free from any burrs or sharp edges.
Fit and comfort are good on the Empire Ears Odin IEM. The shells are a bit on the larger side, but they are lightweight. Fit might be a challenge for those with smaller ears but those with medium to larger ears will find it a comfortable IEM to wear for long sessions.

Musicians will find the Empire Ears ESR MKII’s studio-reference sound, comfortable fit, and robust build a great choice for monitoring work at home, in the studio, or even on-stage.
The Empire Ears ESR MKII is Empire Ears’ most balanced-sounding in-ear monitor yet. Featuring a hybrid driver package with three Balanced Armatures and dual Electrostatic drivers, the ESR MKII delivers a true reference-grade sound that will reveal details and sounds you never thought were there.
The bass on the ESR MKII in-ear monitor is neutral and well-balanced. There’s just enough sub-bass to produce good rumble in sub-bass heavy tracks, but bass heads will need to look at the Legend X or Legend Evo if they want brain-shattering quantities of bass. With that said, the flat bass response is great for mixing drum tracks and very good for revealing details in basslines and other low frequencies.
On to the mids. The midrange on the Empire Ears ESR MKII is its strongest quality. Vocals and instruments are presented with a good body, accurate tone, and details. Vocals sound wonderful on the ESR MKII - male vocals get just enough oomph to sound full and meaty, while female voices sound smooth, breathy, and well-extended without sounding shrill.
The treble on the Empire Ears ESR MKII in-ear monitor is sparkly and very detailed. High-frequency instruments like cymbals are presented with a crisp yet full-bodied sound - never sounding thin or plasticky. The treble extension here brings out details you’ve never heard before from your favorite tracks, making the ESR MKII the in-ear monitor to get for serious mixing or monitoring work.
Build quality and comfort with the Empire Ears ESR MKII IEM is very good. You get brushed aluminum faceplates that are mated to a single acrylic shell. Build quality is top-notch - there are no unwanted burrs or sharp edges on the IEMs and the shells feel high quality in the hand.
Fit is also great on the ESR MKII. The shells are lightweight and the semi-custom shells offer good in-ear comfort - perfect for long listening sessions at home or in the studio.
The Empire Ears ESR MKII comes in an elegant white box with a generous selection of accessories, Final E ear tips in various sizes, Empire Ears stickers, a sturdy case, a cleaning cloth, and the new Alpha-IV cable by Effect Audio.
Great bass & concert like sound when paired with Ifi gopod. Adam @ Hifi sound gear provided me with above & beyond customer service.
I am in love with these IEM’s. Could not be happier with the purchase.
As mentioned in description, this IEM is really made for people who love their music with a bit of extra kick, unlike those super sci-fi ones like Etymotic. It gives your songs a fun twist with a bit more bass and crispier treble, but nothing too crazy. Coming from using an Etymotic ERX, the first thing I noticed was how the bass felt beefed up and everything sounded clearer, especially with songs that have a lot going on, like lots of different instruments playing at once. This IEM nails it without missing a beat. The only heads-up is about the extra bass – if you’re not really into that, it might take a little while to get used to how these sound. But all in all, it's about enjoying your tunes without getting too technical.
These are the closest TWS gets to pure IEM listening. You get the wide soundstage. They scale quickly. They have that satisfying bass slam often missing in TWS. The layering is just right and resolution is mesmerizing. Oh yes, you get the convenience of taking them on the go and they are truly comfortable. Noble has achieved a superior status in my eyes with the FoKus Prestige. I look forward to listening to them on my walks when I don’t have to take my DAP. Adam is one of the greats in this business. His commitment to customer service is exceptional. You aren’t a customer, but a client. He helped me after losing my first pair and just went above and beyond to ensure that I was shipped a new pair in less than two days. I am completely satisfied and impressed. You will be too. Thank you and looking forward to my future purchases from your establishment.
I own two flagships from Thieaudio - V16 divinity has the most detailed and richest sound I have ever heard from a pure BA iem. On the other hand, prestige ltd has the wide and deep sound stage that can imaging all different sound of music clearly. Two different premium taste from Thieaudio, good job 👍
So, my journey has been a progressive one indeed. I’ve gone from the ultimate ears, Westones, Sennheiser’s, moondrop kato,final audio b3 and blessing 2 dusk throughout my life for IEMs. This is my first Thieaudio brand though. My moondrop dusk was suppose to my last stop for the next couple of years but the driver just failed out the blue after being babied for for a year and 1/2. And so walking into Audio46 in New York introduced me to the Thieaudio world. I finally got a chance to hear earphones live before deciding which to buy and when I heard the Oracle MK2, it captured my interest and stood out faster than any of the others, especially after hearing the EST drivers kick in on my tracks. It was like treble was finally done right and timbre was finally more real than all others before. Loved the sub bass and mids with the richness I crave. And so I picked them and am very thankful for the ability and the blessings in my life to be able to. The quality of the build all the way down to the cable itself and the different connection ability it gives you to use is so welcoming. I also really appreciate the box having the picture of the earphone on them instead of the all black box on the original Oracle. Taking the time out to do this right means more to me.
I'm sure there are other great iem's out there, but I have never heard anything better so far. The instrument separation and vocals sounding so smooth and never harsh is what I love. But they sure are big, which can be uncomfortable for some people. 10/10
A clean-sounding monitor with a bass boost near-exclusively in the sub-frequencies.
Arrived quick, amazing technicalities and frequency response.
If you want something that looks and sounds awesome i can just recommend it! Very high definition! Be careful to not use bad recordings/files that will make sound those headphones terrible
