Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews (A Million views?) Part 3/4

Hi Chris, If you have the time could you possibly post a few pics of the Monarch mk4 iem shell next to your Kiwi Ears Punch collab shell as I want to see if I can consider the Monarch mk4 a possible future purchase, I fear the size may be an issue

Left it and Monarch III off just to see if anyone brought up like you did :100:

Great company sans the rep but nah

breakfast-club-breakfast

Valhalla
Prestige LTD
Monarch OG
Oracle OG
Monarch II
V16
Monarch IV
Clairvoyance
ORIGIN
Oracle MKIII

That’s 10 bangers and that’s just tribrid and 1 of 10 is all BA
I don’t think anyone competes with that lineup and I know I’m bias. But I am sure no company on the planet hangs with that.

Open the door to Hype series and there’s 2 more very well tuned and recieved sets.

Letshuoer will always have a special place in my heart for the quality/quantity of their output but Thie is undisputed in sheer quantity of bangers.

Lights off right now ( Son asleep) but I can do that about 8 hours from now :+1:

Agree for sure but I think it’s now they’re starting to flex and moving their game up a gear or two hence the ā€œhold my beerā€ gif…let’s see by the end of the year who holds the set :crown:?

EJ10 and Serenade have a LOT of hype behind them, fingers crossed that they live up to it (and maybe have some trickle-down)!

Cheers, no rush though, it’s a possible/definite future purchase when Linsoul holds another sale later on in the year….ā€ifā€ I consider it will fit my ears that is.

If I understood correctly, Serenade is going to have the same config as Crinear Daybreak - 2DD/2BA/1MPL

Pretty disappointing given the prototype was 1DD/3BA/4EST. Seems like it was developed into EJ10.

I just watched the Mona 4 video by you, Chris and I must say, I’ve climbed aboard the hype train. Damn.

For you to say you prefer it over the Valhalla says everything I need to hear about the set and the work being done over at Thie. The Valhalla blew me away with it’s upper-mids/vocal texture and bouncy ass bass. I’m thinking I need to get my hands on the Mona 4 now… I know it doesn’t make much sense to, but could you give me a brief comparison between the Mona 4 and the Symphonium Titans? The Titans would be the set I sell in order to justify buying the Mona 4s and it’s a huge decision for me so any insight would be godly.

Thanks for the impressions. I have a custom faceplate Butterfly Monarch MKIV coming in soon. So hyped.

Love that custom shell design, super reminicent of the top pro. Why wasnt the Alpha & Omega Omega ranked highly?

They have lots of good ones but few doing anything out of the ordinary like i feel some other brands do. plus if you make a new version of the same IEM once a year the list grows. I still use my monarch from time to time and keep the old legacy and voyagers for nostalgia but there are several brands where I personally feel like the unit list has more soul. I think i would rank Shuoer as #1 personally.

The set is so hype that you have firmly increased its price to 1400 in your head while it’s 1149 lol

Might unintentionally give Linsoul some bad ideas lol

Yeah, LOL…that whole video is based on my thinking it’s $1400. I guess that’s a good thing :man_facepalming: :laughing:

No idea what an IEM ā€œsoulā€ is.
Don’t even wanna know actually.

I don’t think any of these have dip switches?

something that makes them special and that someone put some passion in to them not just the generic road to the masses. An X-factor that gives them a uniqueness that puts them in in their own category and gives them an identity that will let them keep their spot over time and in history.

OG oracle is probably the only TA that has some of that glaze. maybe monarch II also.
