Thieaudio Valhalla | 19 Driver Flagship IEMs

Got there

Dunu Koto - Prestige LTD - Aful Dawn X - Valhalla This is basically my path a year into the hobby. I was looking out of curiosity and then I wanted to get on the level of my headphones. My headphones being the Hifiman He1000 Unveiled. A tall order to anyone that has heard these headphones, I know. But alas I have found the closest I need to go, to get "there". End game... Probably not, but am I "there"? Yes. Balanced in every way possible. Deep, punchy, precise and fully there in the lows. Honey smooth, the mids are exactly where they need to be. Turn it up because the highs are going to be presented to you in a clear yet musical manner. I got lost in these things for 3 hours the first time wearing them. That for me is a clear sign. Love the liquorice cable. The shells are very nice, excellent choice on the art and material. Case is no good though. The hype is real and the glaze is warranted. Glazed donut proper I would say, shout out to the Bloom pod newbs. If you're looking in this price range, go for these. I'd be genuinely surprised if you did not enjoy this set.

My first step into high end iems

After using the Noble focus prestige encores they left me wondering what would high end iems sound in comparison so I bought these. I wish I had done this before buying the encores because it's not even close it's laughable. These are definitely my endgame. And bring unbelievable satisfaction to my ears I've been listening to all the same music I've heard repeatedly and it's just an impossible experience. These have ruined my ears as now any other tws in my collection just sound like cheap stuff from your neighborhood dollar store. Beware these things will change how you hear music. This is the start of my audiophile journey.

Thieaudio's Masterpiece

Very good IEMs. My favorites prior were Crimson and Monarch mk3, but Valhalla took the top spot for sure. Bass hits just hard enough that I get that sub bass echoing in my head, but it never mess with the rest of the presentation. Mids are a little more laid back than my Monarch mk3 and crimson, but still very enjoyable, maybe I even like the Valhallas better, they just don't get as emotional on some songs but never really get harsh on the other hand. Treble is very good and detailed, I like how cymbals don't cut above on some metal and rock which always distracted me from the rest of the song. Details are excellent. I can focus on any instrument and it's so detailed and clean. Hard to explain, but it's so easy to focus on any sound in the music and not lose any detail.
