ThieAudio Monarch In-Ear Monitors

[VSG]

ThieAudio makes a return with our first-ever Tribrid IEM review. The $729 ThieAudio Monarch uses a combination of dynamic, balanced armature, and electrostatic tweeter drivers paired with a deliberate reference tuning and unique abalone shell-based aesthetic to set a new high standard.

Does it come with a drop of human blood in each bud? lol

lovely review VSG!

@Basard the audiophile hobby is very expensive one, this is a fair price for what you get. sound quality does improve usually with the more you pay. that's how it works.

Haha awesome review.
My budget is mostly around Moondrop Aria (currently using BL03 right now) but it is nice to see this kind of review.

I've submitted reviews of the BLON BL-A8 (https://www.techpowerup.com/review/blon-bl-a8-prometheus-in-ear-monitors/) which is live already, as well as the ThieAudio Legacy 2 ($99) and the Tripowin TC-01 ($45) which should be published over the next couple of weeks. Sadly no samples from Moondrop at this point.

Can you do CCA C10 - which to this day is still blows away 90% of the overpriced IEM for a fraction of the price.

I'll add it to my wishlist of things I want to do eventually. There are a lot of others already here that I need to do first though.
