The graph tool Is freakin awesome! Thank you man for your contribution to the audiophile community, in the last 1.5 year you made a fuckin beautifull Evolution. Keep going 💪🏼😁
Great review and I'm tempted as always... I own in order of purchase: MEST MKII, IER-M9, DUNU SA6, DUNU ZEN, XBA-N3... will this compliment my collection and offer something different?! I was debating the Claire, Monarch, EST112 and the Kinera Nanna... this now thrown into the mix of decisions too :)
Difference in price between Oracle and Clairvoyance is not that much, so if you could choose only 1 (based on your "taste"), which one would you go for?
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews Keeping an eye on this comparison. You know I’ve been waiting on making that decision. I love me some bass but not at the cost of vocals and guitars.
Someone should start a pass around club. You pay an annual membership fee that pays for all the newest headphones/IEMs/other audio gear, then confirmed members at different cost levels get access to borrow the gear. Then develop partnerships with certain vendors to get discounts on products within the pool.
Man that's really slick how you flattened the oracle to see the relative difference between the two sets. Really cool. Definitely recommend to keep doing that for reference
I need you sir to Know This. Because of you Technical well define Ear I purchased Oracale pull the trigger now waiting 3 weeks for Linsoul to send me them even after zreviews Excalibur vs Oricale .Hats off you giving details on different songs vocals time stamps on tracks comparing both units where rubber meets the road able to relate tracks
Hi BGGAR! Thanks for the awesome review. It means a lot and I have a lot of respect for you. I am about to pull the trigger on this but before that I wanted to ask about sibilance. Does the Oracle have any sort of sibilance? I have the est112 and I had to eq to reduce the treble harshness and sibilance. It is much better now and I am starting to really enjoy it but I think the Oracle would be much better. I should have waited for your review of the est112 before I pulled the trigger but I got excited and bought when it came out. Many thanks to you!
Hey a quick question about your tier list, does ‘value’ weigh into the rankings or is it just pure sound? Been looking for a step up from the Mangird Tea and I’m wondering if Oracle is barely an upgrade. Or should I save up for the MEST mk ii after all? Or a used MEST mk i?
Great review! But just a quick question, if I'm looking for a portable USB C dac, what wud ur recommendations be? Est iems can be power hungry sometimes based on my exp.
It looks like planars rate somewhat lower on your tier ranking but also get a lot of praise, curious if you could elaborate? I’m looking into a set under $1100 with the best value for sound, this IEM is really on the top of my list, what are your thoughts? I love timeless and p1 max, z12 is fun but timeless and p1 max are more my thing. Didn’t like dioko.
QUESTION: Do you think this Thieaudio Oracle is a great match to a Sony NW-ZX300? Or in your opinion: which is the best EIM to be used in a NW-ZX300? Thanks a lot.
I order it . I’m a big planer magnetic over the ear👂 headphones But my last purchase was fiio M15 dap and I was looking for a portable iem . Hope is as good as I think
Does it make sense to have both Mest Mk2 and Oracle alongside each other? Or is it better to just settle with Mest Mk2 alone? Wanted to understand whether these two compliments each other and doesn't overlap in some ways in terms of sound signatures.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the new fiio with its dual bery driver and semi open back shell my next iem will be this thieaudio oracle or the fiio
Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews I’ve literally never heard Bono tell anyone not to fly in a plane. He’s always been focused on racism, poverty, and world hunger. If you don’t like the music that’s one thing, but don’t make shit up.
@@TheDealer1228 In a speech made in Tokyo last year, Bono said: "“My prayer is that we become better in looking after our planet.” But according to environmentalist experts from carbonfootprint.com, the band will clock up 70,000 air miles during their 100-date 18-month world tour, not to mention transporting the three 390-tonne stages and 200 crew and backstage staff members who accompany them as well. Their CO2 emissions are the equivalent of the waste created by 6,500 average British or Irish people in an entire year, or equal to leaving a standard 100 watt lightbulb on for 159,000 years, and are much larger than the carbon footpring left by Madonna during her 2006 world tour when she produced 1,635 tonnes in air transport.
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews I as well would like to know. I have the Teas and EST112. Sold the FD5 for fatiguing treble and sibilance. Between Tea and est112, Tea is better with sibilance and mids but can be shouty. EST112 has better bass with 13mm beryllium DD, resolution, soundstage and no shoutiness. Tea is a keeper though.
Excellent video and fascinating set. Bass reminds me of Tea, lower peak than basshead and shortened porch to keep mids clean. I'll keep my eye on this one.
Hi. I love how you are improving you channel. Great job! I am a big fan of ThieAudio. As I alrrady got the Legacy 3 and the Voyager 14, do I need the Oracle? Or it is a huge improvement?
What happened to the CIEM option with the higher end ThieAudios? I was getting ready to pull the trigger on the Clairvoyance, but they are no longer offering custom fit (still have it for Legacy line). Big disappointment as the custom route is the only way to go for me.
I was able to get the Empire Ears Bravado a while back for a great price and have enjoyed them. Looking into the next step. I'm thinking the Clairvoyance but maybe now... thinking of the oracle. Try them out see if I like them, save some money. Enjoy the reviews. Thank you.
We all know the tracks you use to particularly focus on while evaluating gear, but can you also post a list of your entire media library? My interest is in trying to find songs I'm familiar with and like, and listen out the treble side of things in them, so that I can better understand what's your preference, and how can I adjust my internal profile of the gear to your ears+liking. Many thanks for all that you do...
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews Yeah, exactly! You already have a Tier List, so maybe something similar. I'm trying to compare Your Baseline to My Baseline! 😉😁
This as mention in my 112 video the Dunu can have an obvious metallic sheen to the treble. I don't know why? It is obvious and I cited in my review. This does not have that
So do I man. I saw Zeos' review as well, but it was yours (and your top) that made me choose these over SeeAudio Yume and Thieaudio Legacy 3. I got the second revision with nicer case, tips and the updated nozzle. Don't know if they changed the sound in any way, but they do sound amazing, and they're tuned perfectly for the music I listen to. In the future I am looking at Thieaudio Clairvoyance or Oracle/Excalibur for portable (with a Hiby new R6 2020) and HarmonicDyne Zeus with a Singxer SA-1 at home. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation !
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews wondering if you would be willing to review a recent production tea? I had the original pair which I absolutely loved but had a connector issue on one earpiece, so returned for warranty replacement. Replacement was new production (leather case etc) and imho it is not as good as originals. 🙏
@@rustydog2112 That doesn't sound too reliable. I have heard more people complaining about distortion. Wouldn't you rather own a diffrent, perhaps more reliable set?
Hey man, any plans to review senns IE300? Demo-ed it awhile back wanna know what you think compared to others like L3, Mangrid etc. Great work as always!
Bad Dude How do these compare to your custom L3's. I have been saving this year for a custom l3, yep I own a regular pair. So my question is theses over custom L3's?
Hi, i think im going to join the bus on these pair. But i need to sell my pair of YY ST7 (i.e. Shuoer EJ07) here in Japan. I believe it will be hard to sell these on Mercari or Yahoo auction, since unknown brand. Any suggestions where i can sell iems here in Japan? Thanks a lot!
What does air pollution have to do with whether U2 makes good music? - a true message is a clear signal. Thought you especially would have respect for science/facts (how things actually are) and a appreciation of nature (w. your sensibilities)…hmm…and climate change is especially “relevant” for those living on (sub)tropical Islands…
I have the Mangird tea and the bass is present but the BAs making it squished in the corner the mids and treble is in your face you can barely detect the mid bass, If this Oracle feels the same I’ll keep investing in Monarch
