Best ThieAudio IEMs

Thieaudio Valhalla

Thieaudio Valhalla

Jays Audio: TOTL all-rounder with "endgame" tech across the board, a better tuned U12T with better bass texture
Jaytiss: Big fan, but lack fantastic air like some other sets.
Super* Review: I'm really tempted to go out and buy one of this things for myself - if it fit me even better, I probably would.
Fresh Reviews: S tier for COD, borders A- for other titles
Shuwa-T: Deep bass despite all BA set, techs carry this set more than the overall tone Treble is mushy for something with so many BAs, not for high frequency enjoyers

ThieAudio Monarch MK4

ThieAudio Monarch MK4

Jays Audio: Smooth, clean, balanced, and slightly airy in the balance switch. Goes from a clean all-rounder to a warm/bassy all-rounder. Great tech. Basically a cheaper Prestige LTD with more tuning options....
Jaytiss: Detailed fun, rich bass. It's hard to fault.
Precogvision: Excellent detail retreival and competent tuning. Can be slightly thin sounding and forward in the treble.
Super* Review: Kind of an impressive sound signature. A little bit dry in its bass presentation. Sounds a little bit clinical with its stock tuning. Maybe a bit too much bass in rumble mode. But it's kind of nice...
IEMRanking AI: The Thieaudio Monarch MK4 introduces a practical tuning switch, letting users flip between Standard for a neutral, detailed profile and Rumble for a pronounced 3dB sub-bass boost. This flexibility...

ThieAudio Prestige LTD

ThieAudio Prestige LTD

Jays Audio: Clean and natural signature with treble emphasis. LOTS of details with airy treble without going overboard (better treble extension vs MK2/MK3). Bass is not as impactful versus MK3 but has better...
Jaytiss: The unit I reviewed had wonky bass, expect this to change if I review a unit with proper bass.
Shuwa-T: A much better implementation than the Prestige OG
Nymz: The best Thieaudio I've heard to date. Very close tonality to the Mk3, but with better technical performance, especially in the dynamics and stage departments.

Thieaudio Hype 10

Jays Audio: U-shaped, nice treble extention and dynamics, solid vocals, more low-end emphasis than MK3, dynamic and great all-rounder that doesn't specialize in anything.
Gizaudio Axel: More detailed Hype 4. Too similar to the Hype 4.
Jaytiss: It leaves me lacking nothing, just a fantastic set.
Shuwa-T: Rather similarly tuned to the Hype 4, which is regarded as a mini Monarch 3

Thieaudio Monarch MK3

Thieaudio Monarch MK3

Jays Audio: Better low-end texture and overall more engaging than MK2, but lacks the mid-range/vocal magic, so depending on your preference either is great. Still TOTL tech like MK2. Great all-rounder.
Gizaudio Axel: I prefer the Monarch MK II for its tonality, vocals, and timbre, but I get why some prefer the MK III. More bass, treble, and detail than the Monarch MK II. The vocal magic of the Monarch MK II is gone.
Jaytiss: Fatiging at times for me, too fun at times.
Precogvision: Still perplexingly poor bass performance, but improves upon the Monarch MKII's treble extension noticeably.
Tim Tuned: MK2 but more fun and more V-shape Not as natural in timbre
Smirk Audio: Elevated, well-textured mid-bass. Pleasant mids. Elevated upper-treble may be pesky to some.
Fresh Reviews: Borders A for some titles
Shuwa-T: Better bass response compared to the mk2 Trades off the lush midrange in place of a cleaner sounding, almost boring midrange
Nymz: An improvement in the bass and treble department over the Mk2, but without the same special sauce in the mid-range and with some imaging problems still.

Thieaudio Monarch Mk2

Thieaudio Monarch Mk2

Jays Audio: Neutral tuning with one of the clearest mid-ranges. Natural and clean vocals. Great resolution, separation, and detail. Can be a little dry with its analytical presentation. Bass is well-seperated...
Gizaudio Axel: Outstanding tuning. Smooth, balanced tuning with natural vocals, beautiful timbre, and excellent tonality. Detail and could use more bass. Treble depends on ear tips.
Jaytiss: Too much unit variation to recommend to others highly.
Precogvision: A solid improvement in imaging with slightly more palatable tonality than its predecessor.
Tim Tuned: Cohesive, smooth, balanced, technical slight treble wispiness
Smirk Audio: Good treble with tons of air. Forward, ethereal mids. Good detail retrieval with tons of microdetails. Lackluster mid-bass.
Shuwa-T: Organic midrange Wooly bass response and less prominent treble may not work best for certain genres
Nymz: 11/10 mid-range. Mid-bass could use more texture and stage depth could be better. Yap, that's all. Oh and the fit - I'm blessed, but you may not be.

Thieaudio Origin

Jays Audio: Best bassy set under $1K. Bassy/thicker meta tuning. You can actually feel the reverb and vibration from the bone conduction drivers, great control and low-end texture. Mids and treble are also well...
Jaytiss: Great set, has a lot of positives and is amazing on bass tracks.
Tim Tuned: Mega bass additiveness Bass too much
Super* Review: Interesting sound. It becomes it's own thing. Fit is not great.
IEMRanking AI: The Thieaudio Origin delivers a bass-forward signature with a substantial 12dB sub-bass boost that provides visceral rumble and slam, particularly effective for electronic or hip-hop genres. Despite...

Thieaudio Oracle MKIII

Jays Audio: Great bass texture, much better than predecessors, smooth and slightly airy giving it a sizzly timbre, great layering/separation, vocals are slightly laid back but not gone, very balanced across...
Jaytiss: It's like a Pilgrim OG with EST. It's kinda cool.
Precogvision: Pretty detailed but sounds incoherent, particularly in the treble, which also seems exaggerated in a bad way.
Super* Review: A step in the right direction compared to mk2. I like this as much as the mk1. Solid all-rounder, good sense of separation.
IEMRanking AI: The ThieAudio Oracle MKIII presents a divisive tonal character that splits listener opinions. Its bass response, driven by dual dynamic drivers in an IMPACT2 subwoofer configuration, offers textured...
Fresh Reviews: Stronger in Fortnite and COD vs other titles
Shuwa-T: Midrange has a tinge of warmth, likely from the greater emphasis in lower mids Bass definition and treble remains unrefined as with the Hype 2 and Hype 4

Precogvision: Nice BA bass and detail overall, but the upper-midrange is odd and treble sounds sort of dead.
Tim Tuned: Excellent across the board Not special in one particular way
Shuwa-T: Comment: Balanced with bass boost, can come across as slightly V. Clarity and balanced tuning, very strong technical performance with little to no BA timbre Not much airiness, which can create the impression of a not so wide soundstage

Thieaudio Hype 4

Jays Audio: One of the best all-rounders under $600 (v-shaped harman). Treble quality is smooth and well extended. Great low-end texture with lots of impact. Good vocals. Solid tech, and just solid in general.
Gizaudio Axel: A fun and exciting IEM. Fun, bass-boosted sound with powerful bass, great treble extension, and clear vocals. Treble can be overly crisp at times.
Jaytiss: Upper trebble is odd on many tracks, but is a strong set.
Precogvision: Bass sounds somewhat 'BA-ish' for being DD, but well-tuned, decently technical, and a very solid package overall.
Super* Review: Great imaging and headstage. Width is outstanding. Even at 400 bucks it's outstanding in this pricerange.
Shuwa-T: Contains some DNA of the well tuned Monarch 3
Audionotions: Very, very solid IEM. Excellent bass response and a well done warm neutral tuning. Great techs for the price. Large stage that is deep and wide. Great separation and imaging. Treble is a bit elevated...

Jays Audio: Amazing airy and relaxing vocals. Sweet and gentle presentation. Clean, clear vocals - could be too balanced tho. Great separation, but stage size could be better.
Crin: Functionally similar to the Clairvoyance with slight cutbacks in overall clarity and resolution.
Jaytiss: Great iem for what it is. Really impressive.
Precogvision: Pleasant tonality, but low-level detailing and compression.
Tim Tuned: Tuning so good it melts your soul (kinda) treble wispiness + slight incoherent
Shuwa-T: Comment: A miniature Monarch. Balanced sounding with good detail retrieval
Nymz: Great vocals, very lean tuning. Not very technical for the price.
Audionotions: Love the tuning. Very neutral set with sparkly treble but never unpleasant. Techs are decent but not standout. Timbre and tonality on this set are really great. Mids are great, and vocals are lush....

Gizaudio Axel: Lots of bass, good slam, controlled mid-range. Bass quality, too much upper treble, timbre, and overall detail.
Precogvision: Very bright in the upper-treble which leads to a fatiguing sound and masking issues.

Precogvision: Not particularly coherent, but an attention grabber with solid, surface-level detail.

ThieAudio Hype 2

Jays Audio: Mini-Monarch MK3 with less bass and details. 80% there. Harmanish tuning, and best all-rounder before Studio 4.
Jaytiss: Just not right for me, but solid.
Precogvision: Poor bass performance and sounds like surface-level detailing due to mid-treble recession despite great frequency response.
Super* Review: Imagin is fantastic and stands out. Hype 2 is a pretty good place to start in the hobby
Nymz: Good sub-bass but lackluster impact in the mid-bass. Mid-range is fine, but could use more separation/layering. Good techs for the price.
