Discussion thread on THIEAUDIO HYPE 2/4/10...; THIEAUDIO Prestige LTD/OG and other interesting IEMs

Thanks - nice impressions, impressed they handle Cryptopsy and Archspire - I am sorely tempted … but then Hype4/10 and HBB Jupiter on the horizon :thinking:

Yes, Cryptopsy, The Zenith Passage and Archspire are mandatory for testing such IEMs.
Maybe it’s good to wait for 4 and 10, but they will have different FR. In my opinion 10 would be a TOTL killer seeing what they did with 4 drivers. Hopefully the tuning is musical, as 2 is, and not strictly audiophile, so he can enjoy the music, though! :beers:
TBH I’d stick with the HYPE series and leave the Jupiter ($1600) aside for now! :wink:

yeah I’ll wait for reviews to role in. 100% with you on tuning being musical and just enjoying music - that’s what I love about the Twilights just stick them in my ears and get transported :ok_hand:

Great write-up, and as a fan of some of Socrate’s teachings I think it was a perfect analogy!

There is no such bass… Oooooh, straight in the chest, powerful and captivating… with HYPE2

I’ve never heard such repeats of a song and an album before.

Hype 10 Will be under 900€?

I am on your boat on this one @domq422 . My opinion,very excellent set for the price. Like always, just an opinion

Actually think the hype 4 shell is gorgeous. Looking forward to getting a hold of some. Fan of that cream/white color on iems😎

Actually the 10 will be $899, it’s currently on preorder at Linsoul. No choice of shells, I guess.

With the Sonion BA for sub-bass and the isobaric DD X 2 this seems to me to be an absolute bass beast, but with bass control. The new Sonoin BAs for mids are also very impressive - somewhat imitating the sound of a good DD. :open_hands:

Likely going to be picking up a set of the hype 4 in white, that color combo with the sheen is just so pretty :heart_eyes:

I strongly disagree with 50% of the things said in this review. I recommend the “expert” to clean his ears!

Never realized that it was a bass centric iem(review said it was). I thought it had nice bass but didn’t think it was a bass centric iem🤪
