My sibilance test playlist on Qobuz: open.qobuz.com/playlist/16255012 Frame of reference for IEMs: Thieaudio Prestige Ltd Campfire Audio Dorado 2020 Elise Audio X Helios Symposium SE Thieaudio Monarch MkIII Thieaudio Monarch MkII Sennheiser IE600 Thieaudio Hype 4 Fiio FD5 Ziigaat Cincotres Ziigaat Doscinco Penon Serial Fiio FH3 Fiio JD7 KZ ZS10 Pro

Hey luke I had the hype 4 and just sold it this week as I've got the tansio Marai 10th anniversary. Amazing sound. Keep up the good work I'm in uk too, up north

I wasn’t over impressed with the Sennheiser IE600 until I paired them with a chord mojo 2 and wow- I got totally immersed listening to Louis Armstrong, classical recordings, Lana Del Rey, Manu Chaco everything. The best audio pairing I”ve had that put my more expensive IEMs to shame.

I recently used mine with a ape dongle and that's already expanded the soundstage. Can't wait for my dac to arrive. Qudelix 5k.. Mojo is a serious piece of kit but I'm sure it's going to do a job on opening them up plus I'll EQ.

@@Bootrosgalione of the things I like about the chord is eq’ing can be done in a precise way and can be saved for different items (I haven’t tried that yet). As an example, I had the Truth Ear Hexas which I found a bit boring. The chord mojo 2 really showed what it was cable of. I had the Sennheiser ie600 - they were nice but a bit thin. With the Chord it wasn’t just the detail but the fullness and weight that emerged especially for complex classical pieces. And similarly for every IEM and headphones I had/have including 7hz zero, hifiman edition xs, …

Compared to Cincotres do you think the treble on Hype4 is more natural? Cincotres came off as quite shimmering to me, very dry and bright in clash, hihats which seemed very colored.

I'm not sure I would say natural but I would say the Hype 4 is smoother so deals with sharpness/harshness/sibilance a bit better. That's assuming that the Cincotres sets we have listened to was identical in sound, which may not be the case.

@@PerputuallyCensored true, thats always a risk. Do you prefer the MK3 over the Hype4 or do you think they are almost interchangeable?

I only spent 20 minutes or so listening to the Monarch Mk III and that was a year ago. Not sure my audio memory is reliable enough to do a fair comparison but I find the Hype 4 more impressive.@@christofferaasted

No. Might do though. They look like they may be too large for my ear.

@LandsPlanes Preference and better are two different things. It depends what you want and what you like. In terms of pure enjoyment/pleasure the Doscinco gives me a tad more than the Hype 4. If I want more musical/enjoyable I'll choose Dosinco. If I want more revealing/detailed/sparkle then I'll go with the Hype 4. Different flavours, that's all.

@Ethan-wc8mi I find them more enjoyable/warm. They have marginally better, maybe, bass but the Hype 4 is better in other areas so it is about preference.
