A step in the right direction compared to mk2. I like this as much as the mk1. Solid all-rounder, good sense of separation.

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 frequencies, monitor like, great all-rounder, and pretty safe - although not very dynamic and "fun". Azla clear tips gives a detail boost.

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 sub-bass rumble but some find mid-bass impact lacking resolution and physical slam. The treble performance proves particularly contentious, with Sonion EST drivers delivering exceptional air and extension for some, while others perceive it as unnatural or tinny due to peaks around 6kHz and coherency challenges between driver types.

Technically, the MKIII excels in spacious staging and precise instrument separation, creating a holographic presentation that rivals open-back headphones. The midrange maintains good clarity with natural timbre, though vocal positioning leans spacious rather than intimate. Comfort proves excellent for medium-to-large ears due to its ergonomic resin shells, but the size may challenge those with smaller ear anatomy.

Variation's more fun, twin sibling. Similar technical capabilities to Vari - resolution, instrument separation and imaging are great. Thicker, meatier note weight than Variations and better vocal quality. Less shouty than Vari but also has a better treble extension. The Bass shelf is Harman-ish but with a delayed slope compared to the Variations, which not only helps with male vocals, kick drums, and bass guitars but also adds a lushness to the sound that the Vari was lacking. This sounds more alive than Variations! The one thing that is holding this set back is the slightly pillowy bass. Bass lacks a bit in tactility and punch. Previously Owned

What the Variations should've been. Fantastic tehcnincalities. Neutral-bright leaning. Nothing wrong with it at mid-volume, but I can see treble can be too much at highet volumes.
