Just discovered your channel, I am glad to have found a reviewer who has a similar taste in music as me. About 3 years ago, I came to the realization that a lot of IEM's were catered for other kinds of music other than what I listen to mostly. It made me realize that most IEM's at the time just made all my music sound boring so I ignored the market for a long time. I see now there is a revolution for hifi basshead sets, and you are at the forefront. Really wish your channel the best. Congrats on the success of your collab.
1st off..welcome aboard and thanks for watching. Yeah, music is the medium we are playing back so it has to be talked about. like graphic card reviews without benchmarks and in game settings..it makes no sense without context. Bass was a bad word for a long time which made me think nobody had been to a live show. Even classical orchestra blow lows though your body. Now the hobby is catching up. We have been waiting . Good times
So awesome to hear you talk to us all in the community supporting us with your collab, I know people may expect that, but respect and empathy to o mix everyone’s day a little better. I cant wait for my set, spoken to FF when I ordered additional extras, their so genuine and supportive, makes me want to return and support their art.
Hope you feel better soon! Good to hear about ThieAudio sets - never listened to any of them, outside my budget range. I think it is very important to know what genres of music a set is best for. Seems totally obvious to me.
Get well soon bro, sorry to hear you're still under the weather. The MKIII has been on my list for awhile now but's at the top of my price range so still going to be a while barring getting lucky. Thanks for the shot at this set as it's something I hope to one day own. Hope the families doing good and not sick as well. Take care and God Bless...
Hope you get to feeling better soon, man. I also gotta thank you for getting me a bit further into this hobby. I've been wavering on whether or not i should get some more pricey sets, or to just be happy with my cadenzas. I finally buckled and picked up a set of Letshuoer S15s. Im so stoked to get them. Thank you for your guidance in your vids and your transparency and integrity in doing what you do.
It was/is gorgeous as well! Still holds it's value, in all meanings of the word, after all these years (alas, as I'd like to grab an used pair someday 😅).
Happy Wednesday Damn, ThieAudio really held that position of a great audio company for years, in one of the most competitive price ranges, anyways, hope you get well soon man
Origin has been on my list for a while now, just waiting for that final push (and cash lol) that will make me commit to getting one. Thanks for the ranking! Get well soon, praying for your swift recovery 🙏
ThieAudio tends to release IEM's out of my price range but I DO love what they are doing by innovating new drivers and being able to release well regarded sets consistantly.
Get well soon bro. Just got my deuce shipment notification today and I’m hyped to try them. I’m not concerned about the delay I would rather things be right and not rushed. Got plenty of shit to listen with while I wait
There are so many good IEMs being released left and right that I am having this fear of missing out, even though I shouldn't have that case. Also thank you always for the information you provide, and I hope you get well soon.

Don’t think I’ve seen a bad thieaudio design, their stuff always looks way ahead, stunning faceplates, the whole item really, don’t own one bit out of my budget at mo what I would like, everything they make looks quality. Definitely love to try the origin, mk3 in my one day list. Hope you fell better soon 👍
Thanks for the video and have a speedy reccovery. Just a quick question, do you think for your library, would you pay the 50 bucks extra for the Oracle MkIII over the OG?
Wish you good health and speedy recovery Chris! Thanks for putting out another video despite all. The grind never stops! And we the folks who cannot in the world test all these thank you!🙏
Thieaudio has really been killing it lately. I wish they would release more “affordable” though so it can be more accessible. Every IEM they have is worth every penny though.
Waiting for my Deuce, I hope everything will go smoothly. Thank you for keeping an eye on things, this release feels a little bit cursed at the moment. After all I'm sure is going to be worth the wait, initial impressions from users on Headfi are super positive! :D Get well soon!
Great video! Thanks for the in-depth reviews on these earphones. The Origin sounds like a solid choice with its quality under $1K, and I appreciate how you highlighted the versatility of the Prestige LTD and Oracle MK3 across different genres. Your ranking makes it easier to understand which models suit specific music tastes-especially how the OG Monarch is still relevant for classical music lovers. Keep up the awesome reviews!
At this level, it’s like trying to answers the question, “which one of your children do you love the most?” - would love them all in their own special way.
お疲れさまでした. Always appreciate vids like this that go over a batch of recent arrivals. So many new, flashy iems come out every few weeks that it's easy to get lost in the wake.
Wow top 5 from thieaudio!!! I got thieaudio legacy 3 which you had recommended Long back. Haven't got any other thieaudio since then. Now waiting for deuce to arrive!!! Really excited!!!
What I live the most is to have multiple options, I mean, if I can listen to my different music genres in different flavors by switching between IEMs, that is a win for me.
Always wanted to have a Thieaudio IEM, and I'm very tempted by the Oracle MkIII. But I always doubt if I should save and go for the Monarch... Great video by the way!
Thie Audio is still at the top of the manufacturer's leaderboard. Had a small blip a while back (I'm referring to you Monarch MkII), but outside of the odd hiccup they have been on point. Duecs has yet to make an appearance!
I remember back when the Prestige LTD released. There was a lot of debates about whether or not the Monarch was better, and to some that was the case, but the biggest let down had to be how huge they were. Didn't think the LTD would beat the Monarch in the bass department as well. Thieaudio didnt mess about with the LTD🔥
I listen to a great variety of genres and I agree with you: some iems fit better with certain genres than others. I need an all-rounder iem or many different iems!
All great sets that I do not have that you have reviewed . Maybe this holiday season I will get one for myself? Theaaudio is one brand I feel I do need to purchase. I am glad they have many different price tiers.
I want to hear these soooooo much given the P Ltd are my all time favourites & I've gotten so many people onto them. Combo with Mojo 2 is just unbelievable. I'm getting my P LTD CIEMs back very soon & I cannot wait ~ Dave M

Feel better. ThieAudio has been killing it. Recently picked up the Origin and couldn't be happier.
The Origin is my top to go for if I'd ever could afford it.
Speedy recovery bro! no need to apologize you're doing great with all the reviews.
Thanks. Taking meds now⚕😷
If it wasn't on the home page I would have forgotten the video was up. Got the notification 8hrs ago.
Thanks for apologizing for the Deuce even though you don’t control that stuff. So excited to get mine, I know it’s worth the wait!
Loving the channel. Just getting back into the hobby, so it’s great to get a shortlist of IEMs to test out. Keep up the great work

Hope the families doing good and not sick as well.
Take care and God Bless...
Thanks. Hope your family is doing well
Happy Wednesday!
Thieaudio still my fav iem company. Owned the Hype 4 and loving it.
They have built up a solid stable of sets. Enjoy that hype 4
+
What color is/was your Hype 4?
genres definitely matter, thanks for the vid, hope you get to feeling better
Thieaudio is such a solid company. All manufacturers should follow their example. Got my Deuce today and am completely blown away! Great job
Thank you for your reassurance on the Deuce near the end, shows your love & passion for the hobby and to your viewers. Peace
Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope the family is doing well!
Hope you get to feeling better soon, man. I also gotta thank you for getting me a bit further into this hobby.

hope you get better soon, man love your vids btw.
Thanks
Still using my L3s (Legacy3) from Thieaudio from a rec from you more than 4yrs ago and their still one of my favorites 👍
Thanks. I like the oracle OG for vocals.
Wishing you apeedy recovery!
Yeah that is a cult hit. I no longer have it unfortunately. Gave it away like this MK3 is goin out
It was/is gorgeous as well! Still holds it's value, in all meanings of the word, after all these years (alas, as I'd like to grab an used pair someday 😅).
I'll never be able to own top end IEMs but always feel giddy watching the reviews. The sheer awe at watching the giants duke it out.
Happy Wednesday
Damn, ThieAudio really held that position of a great audio company for years, in one of the most competitive price ranges, anyways, hope you get well soon man
Thanks! Yeah, they built themselves into a company with several top notch tribrids and now a quadbrid.
It's always interesting when you slot the various IEMs into appropriate categories.
Thieaudio's consistency with quality is honestly pretty crazy. Very good video to understand their lineup.
Agree with having different sound signatures for different genres. Saves the hassle of equing which some iems don't do well.
The Origin is such an incredibly gorgeous looking set while also being a well tuned one.
Hi, just want to confirm i received the Origin earlier today 🎉🎉🎉 . Listened to it just a bit.. . first impression is excellent.
The graph on the origin looks absolutely amazing
Origin has been on my list for a while now, just waiting for that final push (and cash lol) that will make me commit to getting one.
Thanks for the ranking! Get well soon, praying for your swift recovery 🙏
Was recently thinking a lot of what top of the line Thieaudio IEM to get as the year ends. Thanks a lot, Chris!
The blue on the Oracle Mk3 looks gorgeous.
Ellie and Yeo still responds to my concerns and of course thanks Chris for reassuring us 👌
Saw how Thieaudio faceplates are painted by hand. Their sets look great and perform well for their price points. Thanks for the ranking.
Its amazing how all of these follow your graph so close !
I have the og oracle and I love them. The vocals are just so natural and the treble is silky smooth ❤
Have an Origin arriving today and looking forward to it! Speedy recovery!
Hype 4 was my first Thieaudio set and I absolutely love them. Got them from your vid of the hype2/4.
Nice support you are showing for the collab really man ❤❤❤ gets to see how unbiased you are and how you are working to make this hobby a better place
ThieAudio tends to release IEM's out of my price range but I DO love what they are doing by innovating new drivers and being able to release well regarded sets consistantly.
Thieaudio been killing it from time now I’m yet to try the high end gear but still own the legacy 3 which honestly still slaps to this day. Nice vid !
Get well soon bro. Just got my deuce shipment notification today and I’m hyped to try them. I’m not concerned about the delay I would rather things be right and not rushed. Got plenty of shit to listen with while I wait
Thie Audio IEMs always look so good. Those face plates are amazing. The bone conduction thing seems interesting. Something I've never experienced.
Recover soon, sucks to be sick.
Always enjoy the rankings though, so appreciate it.
Big respect for owning the FF situation, kinda rare these days.
There are so many good IEMs being released left and right that I am having this fear of missing out, even though I shouldn't have that case. Also thank you always for the information you provide, and I hope you get well soon.
Origin's addition of the bone conduction driver sounds like it adds a different dimension. Thanks for pointing it out.
NF AUDIO surprised me this year and I'm excited about their next releases.
A top 5 video is always good to see what to look for when having a library of the same type
My deuce has been shipped! So excited!

I like tierlists a lot, it makes it so much easier to see everything.
Also, nice video!
Thanks for the video and have a speedy reccovery. Just a quick question, do you think for your library, would you pay the 50 bucks extra for the Oracle MkIII over the OG?
love coming back to this channel. like an old friend thnx for still doing this
I’m looking to get the origin… this solidifies my decision. Great video! Keep up the great work HBB!
I really appreciate your way of reviewing IEMs. One of my fave yt reviewers now!
Thanks for that video, now I know what to purchase.
Just got my shortlist for my next IEM purchase :DDD Thanks man
Wish you good health and speedy recovery Chris! Thanks for putting out another video despite all.
The grind never stops! And we the folks who cannot in the world test all these thank you!🙏
Thieaudio has really been killing it lately. I wish they would release more “affordable” though so it can be more accessible. Every IEM they have is worth every penny though.
also Thie Audio's QC seems to be on point too.
Owned 5 from way back to the Voyager to the Monarch Mkii and never had any issues with any of them.
The first Thieaudio i had was the Legacy 4, which i'm still keeping now. Great company overall in my opinion
Waiting for my Deuce, I hope everything will go smoothly. Thank you for keeping an eye on things, this release feels a little bit cursed at the moment.
After all I'm sure is going to be worth the wait, initial impressions from users on Headfi are super positive! :D
Get well soon!
I am confused between the ew300, artti T10, Kefine delci and ea500lm.Which one would be good.
Never got to try the Prestige LTD. One day
Very good set. Origin for a few hundred cheaper is the rec but check out LTD if you get the chance!
I like these rankings by genre, it helps to give context to your reviews.
Ur one of the best Dude, thanks a lot for helping me on my IEM journey!
Feel better Chris! Man, I wish Thieaudio would go back to making some more sets in my price range. Something like a refreshed Voyager 3!
I like my all-rounder iems, but the oracle mk3 is ways above my budget. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly own one!

Always appreciate vids like this that go over a batch of recent arrivals. So many new, flashy iems come out every few weeks that it's easy to get lost in the wake.
Feel better! Was only able to listen to the Hype 4 from ThieAudio.
Also, I noticed you sounded sick in the last unboxing vid, I hope you're feeling a lot better. Get well man
My Son shares all the pre school sicks with me Thanks
Great list I've heard other reviewers use the MKII to heard noise from gear do you do similar with or the MKIII?
Wow top 5 from thieaudio!!!
I got thieaudio legacy 3 which you had recommended Long back. Haven't got any other thieaudio since then. Now waiting for deuce to arrive!!! Really excited!!!
I hope this company keep making stuff like the origin which is more affordable but totally slaps!
Did you receive the Aful 5+2? It seems to be right in your alley. Basically the Explorer with extension.
No, I hear good things about it but not on my radar now.
I'm a bit wary of micro-planar tweeters after giving Dusk a try. Safe to say it's not enough to make any generalisations from one example, but...
Thank you for your help and persistence with the Deuce launch, I know it means a lot to everyone. I hope you recover quickly. 🧡
What I live the most is to have multiple options, I mean, if I can listen to my different music genres in different flavors by switching between IEMs, that is a win for me.
This is a video that I'm waiting for, It really helps to find the best iem that suits my preference
Feel better man, my deuce are close are close to delivery. Cant wait.
Great video
Ty
What’s your favorite source for the LTD?
I am using the DX 180 and onyx dongle with my iPhone 15 amazing sound with both!
ThieAudio's been killing it lately
The Oracle MKIII and Origin seem to be some of the best iems for Thieaudio alot of praise all around 🎉
Nice video. Feel better and get well
Always wanted to have a Thieaudio IEM, and I'm very tempted by the Oracle MkIII. But I always doubt if I should save and go for the Monarch... Great video by the way!
Hope you feel better soon Chris. I always liked thieAudio for the design but never got one of them, at the moment they are outside of my budget.
Much love for all the reviews!!!

congrats and sorry for the qc issues
Great set of IEMs, love to see the variety
Wow! The oracle mk3 looks so nice. They do generally make great faceplates
Hope you feel better, man! Thanks for the ranking!
Yeah I'm definitely going to be picking up one of these Thieaudio pairs. 💯 I don't have a pair of Thieaudio IEM's yet but will very soon.
I listen to a great variety of genres and I agree with you: some iems fit better with certain genres than others. I need an all-rounder iem or many different iems!
Awesome list. I’m excited to see what the community thinks of the deuce
Thieaudio makes dope stuff! Having Hype 4(cool set), and at the same time saving for Origin or Monarch mk2
All great sets that I do not have that you have reviewed . Maybe this holiday season I will get one for myself? Theaaudio is one brand I feel I do need to purchase. I am glad they have many different price tiers.
ThieAudio has been killing it for years
Notif gang!
Happy Wednesday!
I want to hear these soooooo much given the P Ltd are my all time favourites & I've gotten so many people onto them. Combo with Mojo 2 is just unbelievable. I'm getting my P LTD CIEMs back very soon & I cannot wait ~ Dave M
Got the origin ordered, hopefully it slaps as described!
