The Linsoul x HBB Jupiter delivers a powerful bass-forward signature with an 11dB sub-bass shelf that avoids bleeding into the mids, resulting in a warm yet articulate low end. Its hybrid driver setup combines a 10mm dynamic driver with Sonion BAs for texture and speed, while four modified EST drivers provide extended, non-fatiguing treble with excellent air and detail retrieval. Vocals and instruments retain clarity despite the bass emphasis, making it versatile across genres like rock and electronic.
Technical performance stands out with precise imaging and a spacious soundstage that feels both wide and deep. The 5-way crossover ensures strong coherence across the tribrid array, though the upper mids occasionally present vocals as overly forward. Comfort is solid despite the 11-driver shells, but the sparse accessories and forgettable packaging feel mismatched for the price.
While positioned above competitors like the ThieAudio Monarch MKIII, the Jupiter justifies its cost with superior resolution and a more engaging bass response. However, its limited marketing and awkward pricing may hinder broader adoption. The included premium cable and ergonomic design are highlights, though tip selection could be more comprehensive.

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 separation. Overall a technical monster, but can be a bit dry due to less mid-bass. Vocals are further vs MK3 and MK2 (not as forward), giving it that open sense of space. MK2 still the best for vocals, but LTD is an endgame all-rounder. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

The unit I reviewed had wonky bass, expect this to change if I review a unit with proper bass. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

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.
