Been listening to these since I got on Sunday (listening to them now actually), just havenāt had time to put words on paper as work has been keeping me insanely busy. Iād like to give some more cohesive impressions, but if you like bass these are SO worth it. Even though the bass presence is absolutely, it is after all the main event here, the mids and trebles sit extremely nicely in within the mix. Vocals are never overshadowed or lacking, everything is just well balanced, and it all scales extremely well with the volume. Staging and separation are also great, nothing to complain about in these departments. Yes the set is definitely on the warmer side, but thatās to be expected with the big bass, and I like how ācomfyā yet hard hitting the sound profile / tuning is. As an owner of the IKKO OH10S and the Thieaudio HYPE 2, I do not regret purchasing these to add some variety to my fun & bass collection, and Iād buy them again in a heartbeat if I had to.
Oh yeah, the included ear tips were all too small for me and I have currently settled on the Spinfit W1, they are an awesome pairing with these.
Ask me any specific questions that you guys might have about these. Even though Iām not super technical I love my music and Iāll try to reply to the best of my ability.
Iāll do a proper side by side listen as soon as I get some time, but they obviously have more bass in quantity, accuracy, and slam. The HYPE 2 is a little more āneutralā and I would say have a little bit of a larger soundstage / have more openess, but the difference isnāt huge. HYPE 2 definitely has that signature Thieaudio flatness to the mids, while the treble has more, I suppose āairā would be the best word. I would describe the Doscinco as the more āfunā sounding of the two, and thatās saying a lot because I find the HYPE 2 to be a really entertaining IEM. Both a very smooth and easy to listen to, and I enjoy owning both and just switching them up, tons of fun and thatās really what is the most important to me when it comes to IEMs.
I have the Cinno, which is basically a low pinna version of the original tea. It isnāt quite the same sound quality, but it is a very good vocal set.
Itās a toss up for me as well,HBB was saying how nice the slam was on the Cin,like you saidā¦will just keep on waiting to hear what peeps say. Not jumping into anything too quickly these days
Thatās absolutely the same reason Iām 50/50 rn, I exclusively go off of HBB for all my bass needs lol
Iād jump quickly but diving right into Project M has me locked in, told myself if I spend above 300 on something again Iām locked till 11.11 so there goes any other iem
Yeah they are, I will admit I was between doscinco/cinco but then I saw how pretty it was and by the time I was conscious again, it just said my email just said thanks for your order.
So weāll see how that purchase goes lol. Iām really maxing out on irresponsibility
Read this last night and it was the straw that broke the camelās back, ordered them straight afterwards. Have woken up this morning with no regrets. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, canāt wait for them to arrive!
