Dragon Cable Recommendation: For an elevated listening experience, we recommend pairing the Empire Ears Triton IEM with our Dragon IEM Cables. The Silver Dragon IEM Cable is our top-of-the-line flagship audio cable, using UP-OCC silver conductors to deliver a clear, articulate listening experience. It's designed to maximize the amount of detail, clarity, air, and instrument separation you get from your IEMs. It's a smooth and clean-sounding cable that will balance warm or dark-sounding IEMs. The Black Dragon IEM Cable boosts detail while adding bottom-end weight to your IEMs. This silver-plated copper cable will increase clarity and resolution while providing a bump in warmth and fullness. It's a wonderful match for IEMs with a V-shaped sound. The Bronze Dragon IEM Cable is our warm and musical-sounding IEM Cable, delivering a fuller, balanced sound with the perfect balance of warmth and detail. The Bronze Dragon uses UP-OCC copper conductors to warm, expand, and strengthen the bottom end for an improved presentation of any thin or bright-sounding IEMs.
Limited Launch Edition Unit
To kick off the release of the Triton, Empire Ears has produced 350 launch edition units worldwide. Only the luckiest audiophiles will reap the benefits of purchasing a Triton Launch Edition unit: a Blue PANDORA Case, Blue Opus Leather Case, Blue Cable, Tie, and Gym Drawstring bag. Also included with the Triton Launch Edition is Empire Ears Monarch Cable.
Created by Empire Ears founder and engineer, Dean Vang, the Monarch Cable leaves no stone unturned, allowing listeners to experience the Triton exactly as Dean envisioned. The Monarch Cable is a quinbrid design, featuring a sophisticated blend of five precious materials: Solid Core 4N Silver, Silver plated over 6NOCC, Solid Core 5N OCC Silver, Gold plated over 4N Silver, Palladium plated over 4N Silver. Encased in dual-layer transparent SoftFlex PVC and complemented by black stranded nylon braiding, the Monarch Cable combines visual elegance with superior engineering.

Once the launch editions are sold out, the Triton IEM will be paired with new OCC cables.

Expertly Crafted, Designed to Stand Out
The Triton IEM's design is consistent with that of other Empire Ears universal IEMs: Comfortable shell, colorful faceplate, and distinct logo. On the left IEM shell you'll find the Trident symbol, representing the three phases of creation: The past, present, and future. This emblem not only signifies Empire Ears journey and evolution but also its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in audio excellence.
Past – Paying homage to the Olympus series, Triton is Empire Ears first IEM since then to reference this theme, reminding EE of its roots and storied past.
Present – Triton features a variation of the Valkyrie’s Dragonhide faceplate and the Legend X’s compact, comfortable shell. Empire Ears recent offerings, packed with advanced drivers and technology, have often compromised on size and ergonomics. Triton breaks this trend, achieving an optimal balance between fit and performance.
Future – Representing a new phase for Empire Ears, Triton aims to be competitive beyond just the flagship tier. True to their commitment to excellence, Triton delivers extraordinary sound through an innovative tribrid configuration. It replaces the W10 with a new dual mass bone conductor, dual balanced armatures, and our Empire Ears signature W9+
The Triton is meticulously designed, engineered, and hand-assembled at Empire Ears state-of-the-art facility in North Atlanta, Georgia, USA. While select components are sourced globally to ensure the highest quality, the heart and soul of Triton's creation lie in its American craftsmanship.
Tribrid Design
The Empire Ears Triton is a tribrid design IEM with four drivers: a W9 dynamic, balanced armature, and two bone conductors. At the heart of the Triton's seismic bass response is a custom-designed 9mm W9+ subwoofer. This dedicated low-frequency dynamic driver delivers thunderous power and unmatched control, laying the foundation for a legendary bass response. The critical midrange frequencies are reproduced by Empire Ears bespoke EMP75 balanced armature drivers, engineered in collaboration with industry leaders Knowles and Sonion. The unique design renders a captivating and pure midrange that brings music to life.
State-of-the-art dual high mass bone conductors redefine immersive sound by harnessing the power of bone conduction technology. Engineered for unparalleled imaging, the bone conductors excel in capturing intricate nuances and delivering a rich, detailed timbre that resonates deep within the listener. This breakthrough in sound delivery not only amplifies the depth and clarity of music but also envelops the listener in a profoundly immersive sonic journey.
State-of-the-Art Technologies
The Triton IEM incorporates Empire Ears revolutionary Dual Conduction Architecture (DCA), harmonizing air and bone conduction to enhance both auditory and tactile elements of music. This fusion delivers an extraordinary listening experience, ensuring that every note resonates with unparalleled clarity and emotional depth, embodying the essence of Empire Ears' legacy of innovation. synX, a distinctly engineered crossover network featured in the Triton, promises a harmonious blend of three distinct driver technologies, orchestrating them into a symphony of sound. Through the proprietary multi-point synX crossover network, every component is optimized to its full potential, delivering an auditory experience that is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Empire Ears has redefined its Anti-Resonance (ARC) technology to target key internal components. This enhanced approach mitigates unwanted vibrations and resonance, creating an auditory landscape that is distinctly Empire in its elegance. The deliberate integration of ARC not only enhances bone conduction capabilities but also exemplifies our commitment to merging unparalleled sound clarity with sophisticated design for an audio experience that transcends expectations. The Triton's acoustic architecture, particularly due to the Dual high mass bone conductors, required precise air volume and exhaust design, with meticulous calibration of the vented drivers' volume requirements to unlock its full potential. Minute adjustments were made in the vent diameter and placement to positively influence the Triton's sound quality and performance. This precision ensures TRITON delivers unparalleled sound fidelity, demonstrating Empire Ears commitment to acoustic perfection.
