I have Hype4 and truly in love with it.👌

I owned 4 high-end Thieaudio IEMs, and unfortunately all of them had driver flex and oxidisation at the metal nozzles. I'll only reconsider this brand if they use fully resin or fully metal shells.

Wonder which 4 was it. The old Thieaudio from 4 years ago, they do have oxidize issue, but they fixed that after that whole batch. My Oracle was from the fixed batch, no issue till now. Driver flex only happened to model like the V14. Haha. Things are different now bro.. never had any flex and oxidization from any of the iem i mentioned in vixeo. You should try one.

​@@jordanng5428The latest Thieaudio IEM I had was the Monarch Mk3, bought it brand new from Ethan on first day of launch. The main quality issue with their metal nozzles is that it's coated, once the coating wears off maybe from frequent tip rolling, the oxidisation would start, at that point it's irreversible. Knowing this, I babied my Monarch Mk3 from day 1, didn't even rub the metal nozzles with anything, yet it oxidised. I don't get this oxidisation issue from brands that uses stainless steel nozzles. Another issue is that its metal mesh filter is glued on the nozzles, overtime the filter would drop off as I clean the dusts off it. Also, you may not know that the bass ports also have metal mesh glued onto it, mine come off just after a week. As for the driver flex, the worst I've experienced are from Oracle Mk1 and Monarch Mk2, it would make that kind of squeaking sound upon insertion, driver flex issue is more apparent if I push the IEM deeper for better isolation. It's like the air is trapped in the IEM, perhaps due to poor design of having the bass port at the top of the shell which they corrected the design by putting the bass port at the bottom of the shell in newer IEM like Monarch Mk3. I've sold them all, my buyers all sold theirs within a week suspect it's due to the above mentioned issues. Next time if I ever buy another Thieaudio IEM I'll show you the issues at Zeppelin. (:

@@ryder9739 Any of their plastic IEM that uses metal nozzles would get the same issue, including Prestige LTD. Because their metal nozzles are coated and not stainless steel, when the coating wears off then oxidisation starts. Advise that you don't tip roll too frequently, anything that rubs the metal nozzles would eventually wears away its coating. Shame that despite its price the build quality is poor.

All amazing iems. But a Prestige LTD with some eq is insane endgame. Has the great staging, amazing imaging and layering. Highly detailed sound. Yet you can gain amazing slam and texturing in the low end. Bring out even more detail in the mids and further refine the tuning with slight eq. True endgame

wow, thanks man. this is much clear comparison i ever heard for all thieaudio iem

@@jordanng5428 Nice video got to say. I do have some questions for you - 1. When you mentioned you swapped cable and heard difference it was weird to me cuz to me the mmk3 doesnt scale, it would sound almost if not identical on a questyle m15 vs woo audio wa7 3rd gen. really i dont hear any major change in sound, maybe less harsh, still great and same everything else. So I wonder how a cable would change the sound if such gap between devices didnt do anything. (for context, I could hear changes on my other headphones when I used cheaper amps vs the wa7, clear differences in quality). 2. what tips do you use? I love the mmk3 a ton, its crazy good but for some reason it hurts my ears after say 1 hour due to the pressure it puts on the ears, I dont really feel discomfort in the ear cannal, more like the outer areas where the mmk3 seats and apply pressure. Also by looks, my ears looks bigger than urs so I wonder how it works for you and if you have any tips. Hope you can help a fella out here!

@@heeku_ @heeku_ there are several factors when it comes to cable rolling. It depends on how well u know the same old testing track and how well u know the iem. 🤣 You are right that M15 sounded bit harsh and bright, becuz the price of it being clinical and having good resolution. I am using Nostalgia XWB eartips and Audiosense s400, it works wonder for me. Hope it helps.
