Reviewer’s Notes “The Valkyrie MKII is still a basshead delight, an absolute riot of a tuning designed to really dig deep and rumble. This time, however, it’s a little more refined and expansive sounding than the original. The new Weapon IX+ is a better dynamic driver no doubt. This is like the older version with an additional 5 cups of coffee down its throat for some serious speed. That speed comes with space, not just on the low-end with less bloom but throughout with a more matured understanding of how to integrate that EST driver with the BA mids. Now it’s more expansive, more holographic, and just a bigger sound altogether.” A Trinity In Unity Boasting three of the industry’s most advanced driver technologies, Valkyrie MKII is truly a standout Tribrid IEM with an uncompromising performance ethos focused on delivering the purest connection between listener and IEM. Weapon IX+ Our signature W9+ dynamic driver brought serious performance to the IEM world by combining the breakthrough of an enclosed woofer in a tuned bass-reflex system. Elevating the W9 design formula to its highest level, the W9+ boasts a larger internal coil diameter, more linear excursion envelope along with a more capable suspension to handle peak-to-peak excursion while mitigating distortion. W9+ extinguishes any limits the previous design had and delivers unparalleled bass on all fronts. Every W9+ subwoofer is hand assembled to our exacting quality standards in our Norcross, Georgia laboratory. BA Drivers Valkyrie MKII comes equipped with a single proprietary balanced armature driver to deliver the signature midrange that the world has come to know and love from Empire Ears. EST Drivers Valkyrie MKII masterfully manipulates electrostatic driver in unison with our proprietary EIVEC technology to effortlessly reproduce a remarkable 5Hz-100kHz frequency range. The ultralight moving membrane within Valkyrie MKII’s electrostatic driver gives the most accurate transient response, resulting in unparalleled clarity, separation and detail. synX Crossover Technology Legendary Crossover Network Genetically dissimilar from the rest of the IEM world, our synX crossover network truly stands out with countless bespoke methods and technologies protecting it as a unique masterpiece. A marriage of 3 different driver technologies become symphonized by a unique, proprietary 6-way synX crossover network designed to maximize performance from each and every synX advantages synX powered in-ear monitors have remarkably high stereo separation and smooth phase response, leading to more dynamic realistic imaging and staging for both live and studio use. synX features a myriad of other advantages including: Ultra-Wide Frequency Bandwidth: The Valkyrie MKII produces a super-wide frequency range, offering listeners unparalleled sound quality and details that bests even the most high-end headphones on the market.
