Bloom's Take

Viking Ragnar balances speed and resolution sound with engagement and impact, in an IEM with amazing technical capabilities. Put that together with the build quality and add-ins like the Magnus cable, and Viking Ragnar provides a truly flagship experience.

Read the full review.

The Birth of Viking Ragnar

The original Viking sound was so popular in the market that people kept asking for more. But the building of damascus housings takes too long and the costs are too high. As a result, the price would be very high as well. The Viking Ragnar gives people the opportunity to experience the Viking (original) sound for essentially half the price with the internal parts kept the same and the housings changed from damascus to classic aluminum.

The Name of Viking Ragnar

Ragnar Lodbrok, according to legends, was a Viking hero and a Danish and Swedish king. He is known from Old Norse poetry of the Viking Age, Icelandic sagas, and near-contemporary chronicles. According to the traditional literature, Ragnar distinguished himself by conducting many raids against the British Isles and the Holy Roman Empire during the 9th century. He also appears in Norse legends, and according to the legendary sagas Tale of Ragnar's Sons and a Saga about Certain Ancient Kings, Ragnar Lodbrok's father has been given as the legendary king of the Swedes, Sigurd Ring.

Ultra Detail & Surprisingly Good Bass

Outstanding detail and surprisingly good (reference) bass
I wasn't expecting this type of sound resolution and ultra detail. I wasn't expecting the bass to sound this good either. The stars of the Ragnar show are the mids to upper mids and the treble region. The bass is still excellent, but it's at a reference EQ level and not enhanced. So, if the song calls for a lot of bass in the recording, then it will produce that bass.

It's way more bass than I was expecting when I was purchasing these. These are definitely not for bass-heads unless you are like me who likes both enhanced hard hitting bass but also enjoys lots of detail. For example, if you have a pair of bass heavy IEMs and then get the Ragnar, you will have to go through sort of an adjustment period to acclimate your brain to the new sound signature. it doesnt take that long, maybe 45min-1 hour of listening to the Ragnar and you'll be fairly acclimated. I'm sure for other individuals it can take longer or shorter to get accustomed to the new sound signature, but it's totally worth it.

You owe it to yourself to have a pair of IEMs in your collection that can have ultra detail and resolution like these, because you will hear things in the sound track that you have never heard before. In another example, when listening to the Billie Eilish song "Billie Bossa Nova" you can even hear the moisture on her lips as she sings.

These IEMs excel at Acoustic/guitar/bass guitar/vocals/classic rock/heavy rock/classical music/and jazz. Having said all that, I actually enjoy the Ragnar in some rap music that has heavy bass. Thanks

An audiophile dinosaur’s dream.
