Thieaudio Monarch MKII | Tribrid Universal IEMs

Monarch mk2

Vocal is excellent. Treble is soft but not as bright as I expected. Positioning and imaging are good as well. Overall, highly recommend.

Balanced Tuning that Excels at Nearly Every Style of Music.

I'll get right to it. Mid-range is the star of the show, and perfect balance is the result. If you are searching for a tonal profile that's very BASS focused and boomy or very TREBLE focused and bright, the Monarch MKII is not favoring one or the other. It's going to give you a BALANCED and DEEP sound. It's not tuned for a TYPE of music, its TUNED FOR MUSIC. Full Stop. IEMs struggle with balance, even the highest end options trend towards a certain tuning. The Monarch MkII strays from this idea and excels in every genre ... and at times, it is UNMATCHED when a great engineer has worked on your favorite track. Are there other IEMs with party tricks? Yes. There is sparkle to be found when you match certain IEMs with certain genres if you have the cash to explore, or some others that can deliver bass in mass amounts without midrange. But for me, even though there is deeper bass and higher highs in other options (Monarch MKIII) this is still the balanced, all-rounder that does something that many IEMs can't ... The fullest of mid-range + everything you were missing in your music. It's mid-range champion. It's brilliant and my favorite. Dare I say, a Hall Of Fame IEM.

Wow

Such clarity and tonal quality. The definition and separation of the sound is superb. I think Crinacle's ranking of the Monarch Mk2 as S- is accurate. I can can hear the difference between them and other highly regarded iems I own.
