Basically the Softears Twilight with less sub-bass extension, alot more neutral and monitor like, and very pricy since Twilight goes on sale for $700 with a more musical playback. This is just neutral.

Thieaudio Valhalla lands as an “endgame” all-rounder with standout resolution, micro-detail, and imaging. Layering and separation are locked in, with vocals that aren’t scooped—mids stay present and natural. Sub-bass hits rumblier than the U12t and the treble avoids that sudden, sharp peak, making the overall presentation smoother yet still airy. Versus the Cadenza 12, Valhalla is less treble-heavy, a touch bassier, and not as bright-leaning; the Cadenza 12 may edge it on micro-detail by only a few percentage points, so it’s a straight tuning preference: go Cadenza 12 for leaner/brighter sparkle, go Valhalla for the better-balanced bassy all-rounder.

On value, this isn’t twice the performance of a Monarch Mk II/Mk III—think ~10% better with clear diminishing returns. For the “chase the very best” crowd, it’s absolutely worth a listen; for most, Monarchs/LTD/Crimson are already more than enough for a so-called endgame. Final call: Top Tier for tuning and sound refinement—not a value pick, but a legit endgame-grade set.

Open-back IEM with a mellow sound. Good for long listening but not for those seeking strong bass or high resolution. Warm, full-bodied mids with natural timbre and safe treble. Light bass with low sub-bass, lacking treble air and sparkle, and underwhelming detail.

Sounds like an open-back IEM. It delivers on open design. Something to consider if you are looking for that.

Sounds like it has metallic timbre. Percussino compression around 5kHz due to lack of treble extension and generally bad tuning.

TOTL mids. Most 3D and holographic staging yet. Imaging, separation, layering, and staging are all S level - only thing that's holding it back is the darker treble which can lead to softer notes vs, Diva, for example.The most immersive set for rock, alternative, ballads, and classical. An 07M that scales better with better staging. Great clarity and seperation. Treble is pushed back but still clear and evident in tracks (at higher volumes). Could use more low-end (but not an issue) and sharper note transients. Takes you on a journey. Needs to be listened to at high volume for the full effect.

Very engaging and very natural sounding. Decent technicalities. Instruments sound correct. Staging and imaging very good for an IEM. Very enjoyable. Leans dark and maybe a bit lacking in treble extension but also very easy to just enjoy the music which, at the end of the day, is what we even want from IEMs right? Previously Owned

Comment: My favourite of the EJ lineup. Vocal centric with great clarity and thick note weights in the midrange Bass may be too polite
