Thieaudio Monarch MKIII | Flagship Tribrid Universal IEMs

Just as good as I expected.

The Monarch MKIII didn't immediately blow me away on first listen. With the M15i, the technicalities were clearly there - good resolution, separation, and solid bass - but the soundstage and dynamics felt slightly restrained, like it wasn't fully opening up. Once paired with the DX260 MK2, the difference became obvious: staging, layering, and bass scale all stepped up noticeably. Definitely an IEM that benefits from a capable source and grows on you over time.

These things rock!

Couldn't happier with these IEMs. Genuinely phenomenal sound. And not to mention Bloom, who had great customer service (thanks for the skittles!).

Wow! It’s a total package

I love this iem’s sound profile. It leaves me feeling satisfied when listening to all kinds of music. I never find myself wishing some aspect was different. For me it’s worth the investment of my hard earned cash. Nothing is perfect but this is pretty close.
