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.

U-shaped/Slight V/W Shaped. Energetic treble. Great tech. Fun signature. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
8.5
Reviewer Score
Great bass, holographic stage and top of the shelf dynamics. Probably my favourite rendition of a W-shaped tuning to this date. Treble might be spicy for some, but using Divinus Velvets (stock black) seem to help a lot.

The bassier Helios with no sacrifices to clarity

Reviewer Score
Colored tonality done correctly with incredible bass and dynamics. Upper-treble can be slightly too zingy depending on source. Precogvision Youtube Channel
7.9
Reviewer Score
Excellent bass, dynamics, and resolution. Very large soundstage with great imaging. Mid/upper-treble may be too elevated for some.
7.8
Reviewer Score
Suffers from BA bass, and super Zingie Treble. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
