Empire Ears Legend X Universal IEM

The Legend-X is the flagship model in Empire Ear’s X Series hybrid IEM line-up. Proudly designed and manufactured in Norcross, Georgia USA, the Legend X incorporates a carefully engineered array of drivers, including two proprietary W9 9mm subwoofers and 5 custom balanced armatures from Sonion and Knowles. All this is managed by an advanced 10-way crossover.

Every Empire Ears IEM incorporates their SynX Crossover technology, which employs complex multi-way crossovers to divide frequencies between drivers, allowing for precise tuning and minimal phase distortion. Empire Ears also coats the internal parts of their earphones with a unique Anti-Resonance Compound that increases mass damping on the driver units and decreases resonances. These technologies allow for a cleaner, more precise sound.

The Legend X is as a fantastically exciting IEM, with a cohesive sound that simultaneously deliveres a broad, thunderous bass as well as textured, ethereal treble shimmer. We think this IEM sounds grand and dramatic, yet its exciting sound remains forgiving for all kinds of recordings thanks to a clever tuning of the treble response. The Legend X delivers an expansive soundstage and an impactful, engaging listen. If you prefer a more balanced sound, the EP-Series flagship Phantom from Empire Ears may be worth a demo.

Empire Ears Universal IEMs come with high quality, 2-pin double braided cables from the famed Singapore-based Effect Audio, as well as high quality silicone ear-tips from the Japanese company Final Audio. Despite the amount of technology packed into each unit, Empire Ears IEMS are lightweight and comfortable. The Legend X is also available from Mindisc as a custom model matched to your ears and design preferences.

We are proud to be the first to bring the Legend X to Australia - come in and be one of the first to listen!
