That is right. But they still make good tuning. They just don’t need to make similar sounding IEMs.

Ya I think Cincotres would be the better buy over both the Hype 2 & 4
Hype 10 definitely a step up tho

Daamn, how much cheaper was it during the anniversary sale that just passed?
Hmm, and is the Tea2 worth it if I just bought the Cincotres and Doscinco?

Apparently the Tea2 and Doscinco sounds very similar, but with better bass in Doscinco.
Tea 2 is cleaner and scales better at higher volume, better for mids/vocals
Doscinco more bass, better for bass/hiphop

I’m the biggest Thie Fanboy out there and I agree with this lol unfortunately, they’re being a bit lazy in the tuning department imo.

You mean the Moondrop method?

Not if you get hit with the miracle qc for the MK2 and MK3 
Makes reviewing this shit infinitely harder

At least Moondrop is clear that they adhere to a house target, and there will be some variation but you know what you’re signing up for.
Thieaudio/Ziigaat is trying to act like they’re putting out distinct IEMs with different tunings (audiophile vs. monitor)…
And Doscinco/Cincotres are not that at all. Those are some mighty salady words

Tea2 is darker, but that is pretty spot on.
I think the Doscinco has a bit more air in the treble.
I am guessing that extra treble is the issue, but seriously man, how loud are you listening to them at? I haven’t turned the Doscinco up that far apparently.
I am saying this on a day that I have been listening to both the Tea2 and Doscinco on the new Fiio KA17. Not turning them up on that is difficult.
Agreed @GooberBM Ziigaat is doing some interesting stuff. They have 5 sets, Nuo, Cinno, Doscinco, Cincotres, and Jupiter. I haven’t heard Jupiter, but the other 4 are all doing their own thing.

Oof that’s facts - my pair of MK2s have a goated fr in my humble opinion, but that MK3 need some work for sure. Totally backwards in terms of what Thie had in mind

Pretty sure my MK3 is the regular MK2, and your MK2 is the regular MK3
@John_W_Clark if you’re not at at least 90dbs don’t talk to me
@GooberBM nothing ground breaking that’s for sure but the dos and cinco are solid. My units of the HYPE’s are different enough, 2 & 4 is fine, but not sure about the 10 lol. It’s definitely a step up from the other 2, but kinda redundant. I think the 4 is probably there to fill the price bracket for them.

While not a true monitor tuning, from reviews people were saying the ziigaats were still different enough compared to thie offerings. Guess I’ll find out in a couple of days

There’s slight differences, but they are less distinct than something like Aür Audio. It’s way more like moondrop having sets that have the same foundation with tweaks

I’m assuming you’re talking about thieaudio? Because Ziigaat is as distinct as Aur imo:
Aside from the Hype 4, 2 vs 10 is different enough plus the tech boost

Oh no, Jay’s videos + this forum’s dangerous. Just bought the Tea2 because of the deal.
My fourth $200-$300 set this month: Aful P5, Doscinco, Cincotres, and now the Tea2
