🔶 ThieAudio Legacy 2

[Resolution]

The Legacy 2 sounds more extended than the FH3 and is generally brighter. Both sound quite similar in bass & mid tuning.

The FH3 sounds a bit more full vs the Legacy 2 which feels more nimble yet more thin.

The FH3 is considerably easier to drive than the Legacy 2.

Both IEMs are very good with speed technicality.

The deciding factors are if you prefer a brighter signature or not, metal vs plastic shell.

Both IEMs are great but I have to give the edge to the Legacy 2.

@Resolution When you do your sound impression of the L2, could you compare with the L3?

I think one of the big questions is: What do you get for $20 more on the L3? Aside from options and customs.

To me, the L3 was “good” but not surprisingly great. Biggest issue was the upper-mids and highs seemed… somewhat smoothed over, kinda veiled. Maybe it was the timbre? Like if the FH3 was a cleaned window, the L3 was a bit fogged over. Not like that smoothing is a bad thing, but just isn’t what I prefer.

Legacy 3 is generally softer, smoother and less resolving. The bass is not nearly as defined as in the Legacy 2. I immediately felt inner-ear suction issues with the Legacy 3 which did not exist with either the Legacy 2 or FH3. I wanted them out of my ears pronto.
