My Estrella arrived yesterday. Initial impressions and comparison with the Monarch Mk3 is that the Estrella is definitely on the same level for me and it trades blows with it. Estrella has more treble so it can sound a little harsh on some songs if you dial up the volume really high, but at the same time sounds more airy with a slightly bigger soundstage, depending on the song. Monarch has more upper midrange which I don't like sometimes. Another thing I prefer on the Estrella is the bass. It has more of it and seems to have better texture. The Monarch's bass sounds a bit dry and not as textured. So the isobaric bass drivers do nothing for me (less textured and don't even sound louder than the 1DD on the Estrella, on extreme subbass songs 🤷🏻♂️). Overall I think the Estrella could be end game for many people and I'm now considering selling the Monarch and cashing in the savings.
Solid review Jay. Your take aligns with my experience as well. The Tea Pro turned out to be a great set for my music library, so that's cool. And now I'm getting in some Estrella listening time. So far, having fun!
I have always thought that your taste and ears align with mine which is probably why I really love the Estrella. Which is why I would really like it if you could give the Zempireaudio ZE51B a review.
Man if only these were available on Amazon. I ended up going for the DaVinci cause I got them for only $150 taxes included on Amazon with coupons and gift cards. Great review Jay!
Ive just listen to the ISN H60,it is really good to, Estrella is on tour Audio Geek Europe so in a couple of weeks i can compare it, in description vs Davinci, Estrella and ISN H60 might be close to each other...
I got the hype 4, extremely happy with them. The estrella werent available for me😅😅. I equed the hype 4s to the presitge ltd and this is definitely end game for me.
@@jayyaudio Oh shit, the hype is real! I have never been so engaged by something tuned so "fun". I wanted to give them a quick listen and then leave them burning in, but I have been listening to them all day! Well done, my dude, well done.
Ya, Tea Pro looks nice n all, but that new Tangzu has me like👀Bigass DD + bone conduction... I just hope they know to tune it to get the most bass performance out of that driver.
No one should have just one IEM in their collection. After listening to an exciting IEM for a while, I start to experience fatigue and prefer something more laid-back and safe, but still with great technicalities (details, soundstage, imaging, etc.). I'm guessing the Tea Pro would complement the Estrella well. We should encourage everyone to have two or more complementary IEMs in their collection. Lastly, I know you are not quite into tws sets but I swear there are a few that gives the best $200 iems and below a run for their money. The Oppo Enco Air 4 pro (less than $70) is one example. Technics az80 is another (but costs $300, kinda expensive). There are more.
Jay out of the cincotres, estrella, arete, and tea pros (i know theres potential bias) but which is your favorite and how do they differ from each other? oh and what is best value in your opinion, which punches the highest above its price
I really hesitate between the tea pro and the dusk, well I play a lot of Valorant so the dusk would be better (even if both are more than enough for the game so that's not really the problem) for music I listen to a lot of pop r&b kpop, which one would you recommend to me?
any changes in the 50$ range ? did you get a chance to look at INAWAKEN DAWN-MS ? is it worth getting over the SIMGOT ew200 or the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO ?
Got my Estrella unit today, review soon. Jay I have one question, in my package, the eartips got lost, can you suggest which eartips to try with Estrella since you said especially to focus on that.
EM10 is smoother and airier less bassy and with more of your traditional vocal gain, a little more detailed, Tea Pros are heavier in the note weight with better bass
I just received my pair today and noticed I can't push the cable's pins all the way into the left IEM, there's about 1mm showing. Would this be an issue? The right side was also tough to push all the way in. I don't want to try push harder in case i damage it.
I bought ew300 and they sound like there's no space or resolution. Can you recommend another model at the same price but with more air, room. Idk how to describe it, hope you understand me
@jayyaudio unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to buy this model in my region. Some recommendations for 100$ ? I understood that I like bass and resolution of sound
Well Maxwell is one of the best of if not the best headphones I’ve heard, wired or wireless in the recent years. Maybe because I started off with a relatively low expectation for it being wireless though. You do need strong neck muscle and insensitive head to endure it though. I use it only occasionally in the house. If I grabbed the half 490 pro I may see myself using headphones a bit more. 490 pro is so damn light and comfy.

Crazy, I literally did the same thing with my mk3 when my Estrella arrived. 300$ price range is insane right now.
LFG!! Happy for you man ✨
now headphones in the $200-300 category are becoming competitive and headphones worth $1,000 or more no longer make any sense.
I'm really enjoying your Estrellas. Great for R&B and E.D.M. Take care!
Awesome ✨
Solid review Jay. Your take aligns with my experience as well. The Tea Pro turned out to be a great set for my music library, so that's cool. And now I'm getting in some Estrella listening time. So far, having fun!
Thanks for sharing, enjoy bro
Do prefer one over the other? My library is mainly 80s Rock, New Wave and Classic Rock. Is the Tea Pro a metal shell?
Based on your library, I'd recommend a mid centric set, so I'd go with the Tea Pro between the two. And yes, it has a metal shell.
Always satisfying listening to your analysis on iems.
Thank you 🙏
I really think that the Estrella can be an endgame for me. It suits my preference the most
🫶✨
❤🎉😊😁 🤗 👍🏼 😍 Agree 👍🏼 entirely 👆🏼
These look so dope. Gonna have to grab the Estrella too
I have always thought that your taste and ears align with mine which is probably why I really love the Estrella. Which is why I would really like it if you could give the Zempireaudio ZE51B a review.
Great review jay. Tea pro's looks like a great contender for some. Curious about the detailed estrella comparison

That’s good deal man!
@@jayyaudio yeah it’s a great deal but not gonna lie………..
The estrellas are on a higher plane of existence compared to the davinci 🙊
DaVinci for $150 is an excellent deal.😮
they are available on amazon , just have to wait a bit for shipping but still prime shipping
@@ryanbigbabykinlawbrisbin753 just checked and none of the xenns iems are available and linsoul said it's highly unlikely that they'll be available
The search is neverending-pros and cons.
Ive just listen to the ISN H60,it is really good to, Estrella is on tour Audio Geek Europe so in a couple of weeks i can compare it, in description vs Davinci, Estrella and ISN H60 might be close to each other...
I wanted to share a standout song that I listened to with the Estrella’s. It’s called “Seven Laws of Woo” by Praxis. The soundstage is crazy.
🫶 glad you’re digging them
We need more Mangird Tea OG....all fucking iems in the same brackets sound very similar.
💯
I got the hype 4, extremely happy with them. The estrella werent available for me😅😅. I equed the hype 4s to the presitge ltd and this is definitely end game for me.
My Estrella arrives today 😁
Nice nice
How long did it take to ship? Also, was it directly bought from the linsoul website? Thanks

Nice review!
How would it compare to Yanyin Canon 2?
better
I know there is a difference in price but how this compares with Oracle MK3 ?
Jay out of the cincotres, estrella, arete, and tea pros (i know theres potential bias) but which is your favorite and how do they differ from each other? oh and what is best value in your opinion, which punches the highest above its price
Estrella and Tea Pros are standouts out of the ones you listed in terms of detail, main difference between the 2 I went through in the video 👍
How about a battle of all the new meta IEMs?
Tea pro vs aful 5+2 for electronic music and some fps games? Ty
Estrella would be better for electronic music
I really hesitate between the tea pro and the dusk, well I play a lot of Valorant so the dusk would be better (even if both are more than enough for the game so that's not really the problem) for music I listen to a lot of pop r&b kpop, which one would you recommend to me?
I like Tea Pro more but that's just me
Ok i see thx@@jayyaudio
Is this new meta good for jpop, anime stuff that has a lot of energy and instruments like : lisa,aimer,flow,sid,...?
Or would cleaner sets be better?
Might be too much bass, I’d go Hype 4
@@jayyaudio lots of anime songs are mixed with lots of treble energy. hype 4 much be too sharp.
any changes in the 50$ range ? did you get a chance to look at INAWAKEN DAWN-MS ? is it worth getting over the SIMGOT ew200 or the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO ?
not yet
Tae pro or hype 4 suitable for trance music and more punch bass.
Tea pro
Between Estrella and dusk ... interesting pick ..
You already know what I’m gonna say
@@jayyaudio hahahaha yeap ;)
What would be best for djing?
Hi, have you tried the IOAudio Sogno? If yes, what do you think of them?
It’s literally Harman
Is the resolution on tea pro better then hype 4?
Around the same time
this could be my next say....been saying this for months lol
If you were someone who prioritizes bass, would you get the Estrella or the Tea Pro?
Estrella
Got my Estrella unit today, review soon.
Jay I have one question, in my package, the eartips got lost, can you suggest which eartips to try with Estrella since you said especially to focus on that.
Uh oh, sorry about that man! Divinus or Sancais 👍
@@jayyaudio Noted. Thank you.
How do they compare to the EM10?
EM10 is smoother and airier less bassy and with more of your traditional vocal gain, a little more detailed, Tea Pros are heavier in the note weight with better bass
How does BMTH, Bad Omens and Tool sound on the Estrellas?
Splashy and energetic, drum separation is great
I just received my pair today and noticed I can't push the cable's pins all the way into the left IEM, there's about 1mm showing. Would this be an issue? The right side was also tough to push all the way in. I don't want to try push harder in case i damage it.
It’s fine to push it in, but just be careful when you pullout
Are any of these worth an upgrade from the PA02 ?
Ya
Between the DUSK, Estrella, the new Tea Pros...which would be the best for competitive fps games like Valorant?
try EM10 $350 on sale
I bought ew300 and they sound like there's no space or resolution. Can you recommend another model at the same price but with more air, room. Idk how to describe it, hope you understand me
Try Artti T10
@jayyaudio unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to buy this model in my region. Some recommendations for 100$ ? I understood that I like bass and resolution of sound
what if I cant handle the upper treble that is ultra zingy on the Hype4? Does the Tea Pro cut it for me or no
Probably not it has bite in the end notes
How do you compare them to the UP?
UP is cleaner quicker and a bump overall in the separation, check ranking list
Hi, wanted to know how 300 dollars Iem compare to Audeze Maxwell, there is no video like this anywhere
Haven’t heard sorry
Well Maxwell is one of the best of if not the best headphones I’ve heard, wired or wireless in the recent years. Maybe because I started off with a relatively low expectation for it being wireless though. You do need strong neck muscle and insensitive head to endure it though. I use it only occasionally in the house. If I grabbed the half 490 pro I may see myself using headphones a bit more. 490 pro is so damn light and comfy.
@@k.w5804 have you tried IEMs as well? same price bracket, how much of sound difference is there between similar priced good headphones and iems
Among all those you compared in this vid, which would be best for acoustic, soft rock, jazz, and occasional orchestra/live concert recordings?
Softear studio 4 👍
Чудові tea Pro, думаю для себе краще обрати саме їх щоб слухати свою бібліотеку музики.
