That’s a big ass wing…have never returned anything thru Alie and I’m sure it’s a pita…and I can’t promise myself it would fit…I’ll look stateside

They are very comfortable for me, but for people with smaller ears they may be a problem. For example, they are more comfortable than SA6 MK2, B2 and FH7.

Sound Rhyme has some of the best communication and support in chi-fi from my experience. I had trouble on my DTE900 due to the wing - no problem, they can make in in a different, more universal shell like their SR8.

A friend cracked their SR8’s shell. No problem, they fixed it for free - all he had to do was pay shipping (one way, I believe)

Finding a used pair might be a safer choice though, in case you end up selling it

Jason…just caught your piece on the 'tube for the H10…your points are pretty much spot on for me except for one dissension…

if you’re not aware…I’m a dyed in the wool basshead from way way back in the day…
I was sportin dual ported 15s in my car back in '88 and till this day… had and have multiple sub setups in my cars so I have a little experience with window flutter…the push/push isobaric setup with a port between them was one of my favorite configurations

When I got interested in IEs several years back the first monitor I bought was the EXT800 because it had a 16mm DD and I did that because it had uhh…a 16mm driver

I have some legendary basshead sets in my collection…ASG 2.5…Maestro SE…Legato (tuned)…Mext…(edit…and of course the Sony)…and maybe the fuckin Scarlet…if it ever gets here… and I swear to you right now…my H10 hangs with all of them…in fact it has some of the most textured sub bass I have ever heard…not in pressure but in volume…the reverberations inside my ear canals feels like when quarter panels vibrate…I know you know what I mean…and it’s not even what I would consider a basshead set because of its neutrality

Now I don’t know if you have a better Mk3 than my example or my H10 is a better example than the one you auditioned or any combination thereof but my H10 swallows my Mk3 in that department…I don’t understand the variance between our sets because Thie has very good QC and their sets are very consistent…anywho…enjoyed your piece

I loved the H10 bass the combo of the DD and BA are smacking certainly better than than MMKIII ,

but without thoose BA I probably wouldn’t like the Hype4 , overall I find the H10 more engaging than the MMK3 but the Monarch sounds more correct.

I agree my man…the Mk3 does sound more tonally correct and the 10 is more clinical…but that ref sound from the 10… coupled with the bass volume…not pressure…is more appealing to me…it’s odd since I usually like more musical sets…but the 10 with jazz…unglaublich

Ok I will shoot next one with a color theme taking request! For the T4 ABV vid talking about the vent system borrowed from 64 Audio.

Give me a color suggestion and it will be done!

But no fruit porn like the U4S video!
