Dude your reviews are so awesome! I can see why all your sponsors send you free stuff to evaluate😂 I am getting these iems with render tips.
i see theyre become insiders infos again lol
For anyone searching the demo song, I've found it, it's called: "Nichijo Gekijogata Mitsuboshi Gokuseifuku"
Your review made me buy one...
The best, largest, different driver configuration iem's I've ever heard it's the Unique Melody Mest!
I have these and thought they were great with stock tips but just threw on the render tips and holy shit..I didn’t know tips could make a change this vast.
Thankfully someone else has heard it.. Praise Beee
great review, will buy one after watching your video , hahaha
Z, I'm listening to this video with the The "Zeos House Sound" Ghost. Best, D.
I jumped off my wallet last night (Black Friday) and ordered a set of these as my early birthday/Christmas present to myself. I currently have the Xelastic and Dunu S&S tips, so it will be interesting to hear how those sound. I have concerns that the render tips would not work with my ridiculously large ear holes (I take a XL in the Dunu's), but I'll never know until I try.
Hi!
And how do they play? Do you recommend buying?
The new prestige from Thieaudio is the next one up price wise at £1299 or so, and it has had a storming review from audio levels, so I would like to hear what you think of the prestige, especially after your praise in this review, so that I can officially decide which one I will never be able to afford.
😂
You had me in the second half
You had me at hello…
lmao!
are you going to do a review on the Thieaudio Hype 2? please do...
Hey! Nice review. question: how these compare to the SEEAUDIO NEO? thanks!
i need these
Hmm wonder if this will be the one I'll aim for as end game
Do you have ENORMOUS ears?
We need a 1000ish $IEM faceoff video-
1)monark mk3
2)mest mk2
3)mest mk3
4)Twilight
4)u4s
5)7th acoustics supernova
And others that you deem fit.
Lets goooo…
Take mest mkiii out of the eqn
@audiowithargha why so?
@@shashank6393 I thought the mest iems are closer to the USD 2k price point?
@@reflection1119 edited my comment 😛
@@shashank6393 fair play
Just bought the yin yan cannon II and was hoenstly debating mkiii, would you say there is a great difference for gaming and general music / audio? or as you get into flagship level cost youll only see small differences.
I never tried the Monarch MkII because I didn't like the fit of the original Monarch for my ears. I really liked the sound of the OG Monarchs, but I couldn't justify getting the MkII when the comfort just wasn't there and my QDC 8sh sounded better and was also much more comfortable. These being so huge makes me worried about their fit even more, as I can't really see them as being comfortable. I can only hope they don't sound better than my 8sh since they are soooo comfortable to me. Also hoping that these don't beat the FATfreq Maestro SE since those were going to be my next big IEM purchase.
Fat freq maestro se are the most uncomfortable Iem I ever tried
@@theodorezurla496 Weird, because the FATfreq Maestro Mini are the most comfortable IEM I've ever used, and their SE version should be a similar shape I assume.
@@apollomoonlandings That's good to know, I'll definitely give them a shot later on then.
@@FiniteCS not even close they actually hurt but maybe it fits you
Link to the test playlist please??
I think eartips have a lot to do with your personal ear canal shape as well. I tried the render tips with my MK3 and everything just seems a little "muted". Tried lots of different ones and the Dekoni foams are the night and day difference for my ear personally.
Hey, would you say in your personal experience the sound quality is close with stock tips compared to render? I've large ears personally so I'm wondering.
@@beyondtheuniverse999 Yes the render tips have an exceptional seal and fit (would use them if I was moving around a lot) but the sound was basically the same as stock silicone tips to my ears.
The stock foam tips, Dunu S&S, and Moondrop Spring tips were all slight improvements. Then I put on the Dekoni Mercury foams and could instantly tell they were the match for me.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the ThieAudio Prestige LTD. Especially compared to the Monarch MKIII.
I have it. It will be in the next round.
I have the first monarch 1. Is it a big diffirence to the monarch 3? Is it Worth the upgrade?
how does the comfortability? you mentioned its huge im thinking if it will be uncomfortable for me for i have a small ear.. any thoughts? Thanks! :)
From this review sounds like you prefer these over the UM MEST 2 😮
But I am courious how would these compare to Prestige LTD.....or to the recently launched MEST MK III.
Peace
New favorite IEM big guy?
It will be a bit before I’m able to buy these but you sir, you sir! Have sold another product. 😂
Do you have ENORMOUS ears?
@@FilipinaVegana not really but this will not deter me. I will use rubber bands around my head to keep them on if I have to lol
Will you be reviewing the Prestige LTD?
Being more expensive than the Monarch MK3, would that not be Thieaudio's flagship hybrid?
It is and will be reviewed.
will you ever try the Fatfreq IEMS ?
where can you buy them and deliver them if you don't like them?
Please try the Monarch mkII with the Render ear tips if it made that big a difference
Hello sir. This whit render tips or Focal bathys? I can't decide... 😂😅
I really want to get my end game and these may be them. I've spent upwards of £70 on IEMS and own 4 pairs. I think spending upwards of 1k to get a set to last 10+ years is a good investment for the ears really
There will always be new and better. If you truly want to buy one thing and totally stop buying right then and there, you'd have to remove yourself from the audio space pretty much completely. When whatever's new and better comes around, it will eat at you to get it. The only way to stop that is if you don't know about it.
@@brandonyoungkrantz8279
PERFECT analysis. ☝️
100!@@brandonyoungkrantz8279
@@brandonyoungkrantz8279Eh headphones such as the HD600 has proven this kinda isn't too big a deal. IEMs are indeed new but we're already right near the peak, but not quite.
I think the peak for IEMs will be say how 64audio can do tuning with just 4 drivers, but with 10+ drivers or even 16+ done by other professional audio engineers from other companies. We'll have to see since there's so much potential but we don't know what's doable at the Apex just yet.
@@brandonyoungkrantz8279an audiophile will have a set tbh. Low, high & endgame entry. You are correct that the game moves along but that will also depends on income
How do these compare to Campfire Dorados?
I picked the MK2 over these. My library is different than yours.
I'll buy them with render tips but I just want to know do they sound close with stock tips to what you're describing? In case render tips don't ship to India. Also is BTR5 enough to drive them?
Btr5 yes
So you said that these punch up against headphones. Can you compare the sound these make to headphones? If you had 1000 dollars would you buy these or a 1000 dollar pair of headphones?
how is this compared to GL AMT 16.. budget is not an issue. im gonna use it for FPS Gaming so i need accurate sound where it came from... thanks!
a18t i guess, the boom wont be there though, smth jhaudio does
So Zeos.... MK3 or Empire Ears ODin?
Serious question to people who have heard the Monarch's, would you get a pair of Thieaudio Monarch MkIII's (or similar top end IEM) or a Focal Radiance? I only have $$$ for one and I can't decide if an expensive IEM is better than a pair of headphones for the money...
I've made this mistake before. There are a few things you need to think about and decide on. First is use case scenario, by which I mean how do you intend to listen to these? At a desk, in bed, on the go etc.
Second, do you prefer headphones or iems? Is one more comfortable that the other? This question becomes more important the longer you plan on listening.
There's probably a few more things to think about but I haven't finished my coffee yet lol. That should at least get you started.
Use case is THE main point you need to think about.
Are you listening on the go regularly ? IEM are kings
Are you listening at home/office work ? IMO Headphones are more confortable for long session (my ears start sweating in the inside after ~2-3 hours of IEM and need a break)
While I didn't ear the Mk III yet I doubt there's a wrong choice between the two. They are great options.
Thanks for your answers. I'm gonna be plugged in to a Dac and Amp at my desk. I'm just asking purely based on an auditory level if either one has better timbre, seperation, space, clarity etc. Can an IEM really match an equally high end headphone...
Radiance sounds like ass, you would be much better off with an iem
@@lazyreuvin Sorry, I haven't heard either of them. Tbh if you'll be primarily working while listening to music and not critically listening, in this price range you're probably paying for small gains in performance that likely you won't even notice because your brain is preoccupied with other tasks. If I were to do it over again, I'd buy a few "mid tier" iems so I could have some variety.
Ok..tho I’m at the end of my iem game ..theses truly have me curious.
Btw, what song was the Kill Anime song ?
The song's name is 日常劇場型3☆極★服
I wouldn't really call it a bass heavy track, but it's really good for testing separation of multiple instruments and varies quite a bit between bass, mids, and treble.
@@FiniteCS how do I translate this ???
I’m running Amazon Music HD🤷🏻♂️
@@carminedesanto6746It's from the kill la kill vol 2 original soundtrack. It's track 3 and translates to "Daily Theater Type Three Star Goku
Uniform"
So did you like them?
Any chance the render tips might come in an XL size one day?
Or, in my case, XS. 😢
@@FilipinaVegana that’s just as bad really. Zeos please be making it happen…if anyone has the clout, it is probably DMS. Just kidding, it’s probably you, could you maybe feedback to them that more sizes are being asked for? You know how important it is to get the right fit and seal.
Nah it w was like 10k an iem mold so seeaudio couldnt make it happen at the time,unsure now
@@charliebaker1427 seems a bit overpriced to make a vacuum formed plastic shape.
If the want to sell tips to the rest of the world, they need to spend the money.
1:47 I believe that's the blessing 3?
This or Xenns Top and why?
Do I need a DAC to run these?
Which Tips did he recommend? Was hard to figure out :)
Ikr?
Do you ship anything in india...i love your channel and watching you from 2018... actually as per your suggestion i brought edi s350db
If sold in the yard sale. yes
Hoihoi Zeos! Little feedback regarding the IEM reviews: could you please test the FiiO UTWS5 Bluetooth buggers with the IEMs as well?
I've bought the Dunu SA6 MK2, and that doesn't work with the UTWS5 0.78 2pin version due to the connector is recessed on the SA6 MK2...
So I'm temporarily fucked till I can find a 2pin extension.
Thanks in advance!;)) Btw, you've made my vallet cry like a bi... baby and my ears a happy bunny.;))
I do like the SA6 MK2, this is the upgrade for my OH10 Obsidians.
Thanks for the reviews!
Now I wish I had spent my black friday wad on these instead of an Xbox Series X (Series X was cheaper but after buying it I could no longer afford the Mk 3s).
This review is deadly if you're anywhere near interested in the MKIII's. Trying my best not to be irresponsible and buying the stock faceplate version.
It’s best you buy the stock just to try them out. You can return if you don’t like them or if you want to go ahead & get the custom ones.
I’m about to buy these for my birthday
What render tips are you using?
My collab.
How are the stock cables? Are they as nice as the MKII? Worth swapping out?
That's a question you could answer when you get them. I find most stock IEM cables are fine. If not might I recommend something with a Z on it
@@in-earfetish I just order a set as an upgrade from my Performer 8's. Worthy upgrade?
Mornach 3 or prestige ltd?
The LTD are here. I need to give them some desk time.
what the song name again sir ? killer kills ? 3.36 mins ? i cant find it
would really appreciate if you can paste a link
th-cam.com/video/nTNakNlnWDQ/w-d-xo.html @1:25:09
I don't mention a song at that timestamp
i mean u said the song is 3.46 mins long@@in-earfetish
How much better are these than the Canon 2?
Bruh..
Canon Soundstage. These all the frequencies.
IEMs are better than regular headphones??
I think they have quality delivery potentials higher. And cheaper usually
is this an upgrade to oracle mk2?
As a oracle mk2 and monarch mk3 owner, hell yes
@@jacobong13 so what is the main things monarch does better?
It’s a oracle mk2 on steroid with fuller and smoother vocals and non spicy treble
@@jacobong13 Still tool lean and lacking PRaT
15-20...sure low do bought u But not those high.. Just average.. I think old ie500 pro is better.. 6-20..Peace butter.
No Rn6
Z, 'When?' Can we (your people) get just the iem and not all the box $h1t? Best,D.
A solid concept. I don't know if ever. Would be cool to run that site. Just ziplock bags and bubble mailers.
@@in-earfetish Z, Thanks for the write back. D.
wow.. that is quite some praise Zeos.... can we say that these can undone mighty pricy iems like subtonic storm, odin, fir Xe6, annihilators etc?????
I heard the storm and wasn't impressed. Didnt the rest. A few others to watch out for
Well I've heard the MkIII and wasn't impressed. Annihilator 2023, Storm, Tia Trio etc are on a different level and much more musical. What you have to understand is that there's a cultural difference in how Chi-Fi is tuned versus the American stuff. To me the difference is enormous in terms of musical enjoyment and well worth paying for.
@@NiToNi2002@NiToNi2002 most American iems are just bad and overpriced. I have the u12t which I love but they aren't better than the Monarch MK2 which are 2x less expensive. You really must love unnatural sound.
I’m definitely not going to try these. Mostly because I already have the Monarch II’s and I can’t spend another $1k on IEM’s
You suuureeee? 😂
Imma just buy these anyways and return them if they dont work out. If I like them then imma sell my mkii’s
I also have Monarch MK2. But instead of being interested in the MK3, I bought the SA6 MK2 instead. And now I use SA6 MK2 more often than Monarch MK2. Under consideration to sell the Monarch MK2 and keep the SA6 MK2.
@@saucyg6371 Odd question, but how do you go about selling iems? Do you just not sell them with tips? (Least ones you have used lol)
Please don't cause you'll forget your MK2😂😂😂
God u ramble
So these are end game then
I did hear some like $3000 kinera Loki that will hit my desk someday... But for now I am satisfied with my two kings.. These and the Softears Twilight
@@ZReviews looking forward to it. I got off the train a while ago when I bought the Legacy 3 and Fiio FH3. Although, I tend to listen to the Blon 03's a lot. I am thinking of buying a more expensive set in the future, so I can experience something else above their league. Keep up the great work Zeos.
Every $1000 iem should come with a usb dac/amp by default.
And it can.. For $1300
😅😅 thousand bucks 😂😂🤣🤣
thieaudio prestge ltd is better
It surely is more expensive, but the M3 is getting better reviews.
@@humanbass not more, just +300
Not at 1k or below it isn’t
These, or the soft ears twilight?
So I brought both this and the twilight to London and I enjoy listening to the twilight on different amplification more but I think in a technical way the mark three is still more capable.
