Thieaudio Excalibur Reviews
Probably the weakest of the ThieAudio tribrids, but still great on its own. Crin Youtube Channel
Decent tuning Narrower sounding, not as holographic soundstage as Oracle
Better clarity than the Oracle and more dynamic than most of ThieAudio's IEMs at the expense of some shoutyness. Precogvision Youtube Channel
EPZ 530 Reviews
Great set for jazz/blues/soul/acoustic. Thick and lush. Warm but with nice treble extension. Solid tech. Vocals can be overly husky and buried in busier songs. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
It does some things very well. Very good item. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
