The Empire Ears Odin combines stunning looks with exciting sound to give you a top-of-the-line sound experience like no other.
Featuring Bifröst Faceplates for a unique look, Weapon IX subwoofers for deep bass, synX Crossover Technology for a cohesive sound, A.R.C. technology for distortion-free sound, and a premium Stormbreaker cable for a premium feel. The Odin has everything you need to experience a zero-compromise sound.
Everything you need is included with the Empire Ears Odin!
Drawing inspiration from the mythical rainbow bridge between Midgard and Asgard, Empire Ears has created one of the most beautiful faceplates ever seen on an IEM.
By combining nine individual polymer layers in three proprietary lamination steps, the Odin delivers a breathtaking multi-color aesthetic that shifts under different angled and lighting conditions. The result is a stunning aesthetic that draws you in, so you can listen in style.
The Odin IEM is a culmination of Empire Ears' driver technology - a tribrid IEM that's focused on delivering the purest connection between listener and IEM.
This 11-driver IEM packs dual W9+ Subwoofers, five Balanced Armature Drivers, and four Electrostatic Drivers to deliver a detailed and balanced sound. The Empire Ears Odin reproduces your favorite tunes with masterful balance, allowing you to hear every note and beat with outstanding clarity and detail.
An IEM can have 20 drivers per side and still sound subpar due to an incompetent crossover system.
Empire Ears knows the importance of having a great crossover system to ensure a coherent and harmonious sound. The synX Crossover Network in Odin ensures every driver can perform at their very best, so you can enjoy a powerful, balanced sound in any music.
Drivers naturally vibrate as they move air and produce sound. However, these vibrations can resonate with neighboring components, causing unwanted resonances that negatively affect sound.
By coating internal components with an Anti-Resonance Compound, Empire Ears effectively gives every driver, crossover, and sound tube extra solidity, making them resistant to unwanted vibrations. The result is a clear and detailed sound you can enjoy for years to come.
Boasting a larger internal coil, more linear excursion envelope, and more capable suspension, W9+ eliminates the limits of Empire Ears' previous bass driver design.
Hand assembled in Georgia (USA), the W9+ driver produces some of the deepest, punchiest bass ever in an IEM.
Incorporating electrostatic drivers (especially in an IEM) can be quite a challenge. These special drivers excel in producing frequencies from 4kHz-100kHz, but can't play nice with their older counterparts - the dynamic and balanced armature drivers.
Empire Ears has solved this issue with EIVEC, allowing the quad electrostatic drivers of the Odin to work in perfect harmony with the other driver types.
As a result, the Odin produces your music with the most clarity, precision, and depth possible in an IEM.
Empire Ears believes that a world-class IEM deserves a world-class cable.
Introducing the Stormbreaker - a collaboration of PWAudio and Pentaconn, this OCC copper litz quad-conductor cable wrapped in black carbon will drive every bit of information needed to each IEM.
This is accomplished through a .78 2-pin connector to each IEM, as well as a 2.5mm balanced termination for your audio source.
3.5mm and 4.4mm adapters are available for purchase - just reach out to info@hifisoundgear.com after purchase.
Empire Ears, through their dedication to meticulous craftsmanship, stays true to their roots by crafting their products in Georgia, USA.
By not turning to overseas manufacturing, they've been able to provide jobs to their local community and ensure that quality is never compromised.

The Odin Empire ears are pure magic. From the first listen, I was hooked—the clarity, depth, and balance are unreal. I use them every single day, and each time feels like a private concert. They’ve made me fall in love with my favorite songs all over again.
Beyond daily use, they’re the perfect travel companion—comfortable, durable, and beautifully crafted. Whether I’m on a plane or just unwinding after a long day, these are always with me.
Simply put, they’re not just earphones—they’re a part of my lifestyle now. Empire ears nailed it!
Great experience from my first purchase here. Even received a personalized video from the owner for my purchase. Customer service above and beyond in all facets! Thanks so much for a fabulous customer experience!
Amazing customer service. Adam went into great detail with his experience on these IEMs. Would definitely go to him again!
Good communication throughout the process with fast shipping.
It's such a pleasure doing business with Adam and Lauren that I am honestly looking for an excuse to buy more equipment there. I don't really have a good personal audio store anywhere around; and while I am not exactly morally opposed to Amazon or whatever, it's so much nicer dealing with real people and a small business. I cannot even imagine what else I could ask for.
Great work, to communicate every step along the way. Very personal touch. I will visit the office one day to personally thank them. I love the website. I love the product. I love the state where they are located. Awesome awesome awesome!
Everything went really smoothly and I'm enjoying the headset I purchased. It shipped quickly and arrived well packaged. I had a question about my purchase and received a quick response from the seller. I would buy from HiFiSoundGear again.
Unexpected as in very pleasantly surprised at the sound quality coming out of these :)
I took my Mega5-EST and hooked em up wirelessly and don't miss the wire sound AT ALL!! IMO the wireless sound was 98% of the wired sound without the PIA of the wire. Unless you have some amazing source gear, which thanks to Adam at hifisoundgear I do, you would be hard pressed to hear a massive difference. Especially with a phone as your source.
I did A/B noble Fokus Prestige vs Go pod w Mega 5 and gotta say l, there is more balanced sound with the Go pod chain then the Prestige on its own. To be fair the Mega 5 punches WAY above its price... so the 2 are a match made in heaven.
I find the connection very stable as well. I've used my iPhone AAC/SBC as well as with FiiO BT11 to get other than Apple codecs and was pleasantly surprised as well.
The ear hooks are very comfortable. Actually prefer them to the wire hanging over my ear with a tie behind my neck. For some reason that's hard to get used to and pulls as I wear loose shirts. The hooks stay in as I like to move around a bit. Also the weight is better distributed than other wireless IEMs as the components are in the hooks. The prestige, unless I have foam tips, which I'm not a fan of, will pop out of my ears when I move around. These stay stable and I do not have to re-seat the IEMs to get that great bass nearly as often with other wireless IEMs.
Battery level has been all day 10 hrs so far with intermittent breaks and still have 28% left.
The case also is deep enough to fit the Mega w hooks as it charges which is very convenient. Some IEMs may be too big but they fit with a tad bit of room to spare.
Of course having the flexibility to swap out your favorite IEMs as needed is awesome!!
5 stars for the Go pod and more importantly 5 stars to Adam and his team for such amazingly awesome customer service!! You guys ROCK!! Thanks :)
The iFi Audio iDSD Diablo 2 is an absolute masterpiece in the world of portable amps. It delivers an audio experience that redefines what’s possible in a compact, travel-friendly device.
To all the "haters" out there who mention that the 5180mw output is an overstatement and the "balanced" is not a true balanced output... I say whatever... it drives anything I throw at it with aplomb! FostexTH900mk2, ZMF Caldera Open and Closed, ANY IEM my friends and I have tried ...too many to list. If you need more power than this portable titan.... well you may have hearing loss. And it drives all I mentioned without using "beast mode" (they refer to it as Nitro (1 of 3 settings)). If anything, it could use a lower gain option / IEM match for some sensitive IEMs.
The implementation of BT 5.4 (supports all codecs) is a welcomed addition for quality, but in general, the distance it can be from the source is very small for consistency. That is not a Diablo issue, but a BT5.4 issue IMO.
As for the sound quality...simply unparalleled. I have compared this to desktop headphone amps in the same price range and I would put it toe to toe with them. It even ran close to my buddy's Burson Soloist 3x!!! and the Diablo 2 is portable :)
I run it using A&K SP3000T and it oozes warmth and richness in the lows and highs WITHOUT covering/smoothing anything up in the mids, which is my jam.
It is on the heavier side and will still fit in a pocket... barely. built like a brick. At the limit of what I would like to carry but totally worth it! I get about 6 hours of the 8 rated battery with constant listening, no Bluetooth on, hard wired, IEMs / Caldera tested on the battery life.
In conclusion, the iFi Audio iDSD Diablo 2 is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s the ultimate portable amp for those who refuse to compromise on sound quality, power, or versatility. If you’re serious about your audio and want the best experience on the go, the Diablo 2 is the perfect choice.
Shout out to Adam, a massive THANK YOU!!! for your absolutely OVER THE TOP customer service and shopping experience :) :) Seriously, your dedication and attention to detail have been nothing short of exceptional.
With all the online ordering over the years, HifiSoundGear provides the best service I have encountered. It was as though they were good friends. They responded so nicely to all my questions about the product and shipment. As it works out, while I liked the IEM's, I concluded they were not sufficiently different from the ones i had been using. Again, for the process of returning and getting a refund, they could not have been nicer. Buying from them was a first rate experience.
Recently had a great experience with Adam and Laura. I requested a price match for the FiR KR5 and it was such a painless process. Adam and Laura’s communication is top notch! Adam even sent me a personal thank you video. In my experience, this level of service is hard to come by these days. I highly recommend going through HifiSoundgear for your audio needs….I know I will be going forward! Thanks Adam and Laura!
The quality of service, level of help provided, and overall customer satisfaction is beyond anything I have experienced. I cannot say enough good things about the people who belong to this company!
As for the U4S, these are my first foray into 64 Audio but I am SO thankful that I got to experience them! My goodness the soundstage, bass response from the m15 module, and overall quality is just great!
Please, buy from these wonderful people! And if you can swing it, get a set of U4S! You will not regret it!
Only complaint is the cable. For the price, I expected better, but it works well and is just fine.
Thank you HiFi Sound Gear! I look forward to purchasing more from you in the future!
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.
HifiSoundGear offers exceptional quality products and unparalleled customer service. Their wide selection of high-end audio gear, including in-ear monitors and amplifiers, are praised for delivering outstanding sound clarity, detail, and an immersive listening...
