As someone who can't justify a thousand dollars for any set or gear really this set sounds from what you described really promising. You've never steered me wrong, so it's definitely going on the list. Thanks Chris, God Bless you and your...
Ooo the hype 4 looks like an endgame iem for me seeing my library is kind of similar to yours. Good to hear that you had a good day today and that this iem and the music helped you to have a good day. Grateful that you always describe the replay of specific instruments and vocals when listening to an iem. Hoping your son is doing better.
Notification gang! Looks like a killer. Priced very interestingly. This seems like it would cannibalize the mk3 to me. I don't know why they tuned it so dead on. Interesting. I'm glad you're having a better day. I hope the lady and little man are hanging in there and getting better. Good video brother.
Wow... The FR also similar with the Xenns Top, with slight differences on the upper mids/treble. With its price tag, this could be an interesting IEM to compete in it's price range. Thanks for the great review as usual.
Those white or pearl ones look really nice. Really hope the family feels better soon! These IEMs sound like they did what we all want out of our audio equipment and that's to take you out of the moment and place you in the music. Glad you were able find some positivity with everything going on!
I received my set yesterday and it's pretty impressive for sub $400. Detailed and bass-boosted, but still accurate and precise. As far as reference sets go, I prefer the Hype 4 to the Blessing 3 and the Oracle Mk1. Doesn't hurt that the faceplate and cable looks great too. If you're looking for neutral with a bass-boost, this is a good set to pick up.
The Oracle Mk1 is more polite. Softer. You can crank it up and it scales well. It won't fatigue you. The Hype 4 is cleaner and therefore a little more revealing. So, if you're looking for separation, Hype is the way to go. As for staging, these are both accurate sets. So, sound stage is not exaggerated on either. Hope that helps.
@@pong20237 I ordered a custom Monarch Mk3 and it's taking forever to ship, so I can't comment on how close it is to the Hype 4, sorry. If the Canon 2 is warm, than yeah I'd say the Hype 4 would be a different sound signature.
@misterfinerthings trading in my defected hype 2 for the hype 4, a few people have been getting the rattling sound even tho sound is un affected. As for my second pair of IEMs I want something to be similar to the hype 2 - bassy but has more detail? I believe it will help with producing harddance EDM and Djing - over the hype 2.
Would love to hear this set. It's above my budget unfortunately but sounds like a great deal if it's so close to the Monarch tuning. Also sounds as if listening to this set helped improve your day! That's good.
This is such an interesting set for Thie just like the hype 2 was. I’m happy you’re having a good day today, brother, that warms my heart. I’m happy to know Kai is doing better, it just goes to show that 2024 is going to be a great year. Much love to everyone on your end brother 🤝
I like watching Dan's Audio Reviews. It's kinda like hearing different sets at home. Even though you're listening to them on your own equipment you can clearly hear the differences between different iems.
The 350-550$ market is getting really interesting. Lots of good options for those who don’t want to get to 1000$ plus. Glad that you have a better day, and hope your family gets better soon. Congrats on the new channel!
This set looks really promising. Wonder how it reproduce sub bass, does it have deep and rumbly subbass ? Other then that look like a pick for an every day set. Thanks for the work, hope you all the best enterning this new year to you, your wife and your son. 🙏
I expect the Hype 4 will be mini Monarch MK3, just as the Hype 2 being the mini Monarch MK2. But really, the graph is so close to it! This is really interesting! Hopefully I can afford to buy it. Thanks bro, hope you and your family having all the best. And speedy recovery for your son.
I'm certainly relieved to hear you faring better (which likely means your loved ones do as well, and that's *awesome*)! This was a surprisingly good review, very HBB-style, very specific, precise, informative. The set is quite interesting... considering how close it runs to the MK3.
You se relevant in the audiphile industry that your graph is the goal to the most of the new stuff... very nice IEM, I want to get to point of my life when I can purchase something like this with no problem, thank you Chris!
I remember when they first showed this set, it was only in the white, which looked terrible to me. Now they have the black with the blue flake, which I think is one of, if not the best looking IEM's out there
Love my Hype2. Though have been hitting the AFUL P8 and the KATO a lot lately. So happy to hear today is better than yesterday. Getting lost in the music is always a good reset...
Interesting set, and interesting what thieaudio are doing at the minute, being out so many iem’s with similar tunings (at least how they graph). It does seem like a great choice for someone perhaps interested in the mmk3, that either can’t afford it or just don’t wish to spend that much on an iem.
Hmm!! This mini brother is much more accessible... It's right on top of your target, nice. I'm glad you're better today, hope the family is also recovering well.
Thanks for the awesome review! How would you compare this set to the Hype 2s? I tried them but thought that their technicalities were a bit subpar, so have they been improved upon in that aspect?
Can't wait for Dan's sound demos on this! I'm ready-ish to hop to the next step of this hobby (300-500 range). I know price is not all, but it's one important metric that affects the purchase decisions quite a lot. That alone makes the high-end sets out of reach. But glad that this particular price range is getting more crowded! Looking forward to the review!
Hype 2 is really getting the hype, but in my currency it's some quite of money to spent, and my economy cant really catch up. Maybe someday, thieauio is gonna be on my collection book. Bless you sir!
So good to hear that your day was a better one, and great news about your boy - pulling for your wife to follow soon! This set is really sounding like something I want to try, but more importantly like it has an excellent chance to be a keeper - this is my TOTL price range, and it is a gift to have sets this fine, from reputable companies, appearing in that range. Favorite moment was when you spoke to how you were able to let go and get into the music - that is truly why I'm here.
Wanted to know if this would be a step up from the kiwi ears quintet which i bought after watching your review, very happy with that purchase by the way. Thanks for doing what you do and hope your child gets better soon!!!
ThieAudio is definitely hype from everything i've seen, and seeing your thoughts just hyped me up for them. Love all of ThieAudio's product colors and designs as well.
That graph looks nice. I was interested in the hype 2 but ended up not getting anything, focused in other things in life. I will look for other reviews, this got my interest. Gotta find a reviewer who listens to samba to follow your advice man.
Thanks HBB, stay positive and take care of yourself as well as your family. This set is priced well, normally $400 but on sale for $360. Great option for budget Monarch MK3. ❤
Eagerly awaiting someone to do a shootout between the hypes and the upcoming ziigaat 2dd hybrids. This model sure is in an interesting segment for both tech and price. Glad to hear that music enjoyment can bring you to better place especially after all the christmas drama.
I'm glad your having a good day. Been a pretty rough one here. Listing to your reviews gets my mind off all the problems and on something more enjoyable. Thank you.
I'd like to see you review the Hype 10 as it looks really promising and the price is so close to MK3's. Also you called Hype 4 the MK3's brother which may perhaps indicate Hype 10 to be closer to MK3 than Hype 4.
Happy to hear you’re having a better day. Your son and wife must be on the mend. I have the MK3 and I’m happy Thieaudio’s Hype 4 has a similar sound signature at a better price. They make good quality kit!
That blue one looks electric blue, that's so flashy and interesting. I love the white too, that looks very unique. Nice for the price. I'm sure the build quality is good given it's Thieaudio. I also like how bang on it is for the Monarch MK3. I wonder if it will affect sales or not.(for the mk3)
As someone who owns the hype 2, and has heard both the monarch mk 2 and 3.... Very excited for this set..... Im so happy Thie audio is releasing such iems... Definitely bound to be a banger!!
Glad to hear it’s a better day for you when this dropped. I was really interested in and almost bought the hype 2 so I have my eye on this. Really appreciate your analysis and what things work well with specific tracks, for someone who doesn’t know as much it really helps out. I don’t listen to as much music, but seem to have similar tastes and things you like seem to work well with movies and games I like as well. 👍
Mmmmm...definitely would like to try these and compare them to my Xenns Top. Great to hear you're feeling better too. Hope the family recovers quickly.❤
Look at how competitive the hobby has become on such a short amount of time.. essentially now seems like every price range is becoming a battlefield.. happy to be watching at the sidelines of this war.
WUTANG FORVER Monarch is a bit out of my price range but if this set is very similiar in tuniong then could be a very viablle option at this price point. I saw there was a Hype 10 also, hope you get to review that set as well. Keep up the great work.
Looks like the competition we saw in the 200 range is going to be interesting as well with more value sets coming out around the 300 ones. Still waiting for B3 dusk though
Graph looks real nice. I have been wondering if the new lines like the hype use new BAs and Drivers than older lines like the Legacy. Your review sounds good on this one and just makes me think the Hype 10 will be real nice.
Thanks for the review! This looks very interesting. Looking forward to a possibilie Hype 10 review as well. Your input is, as always, greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year!!🎉🎉 Btw some ppl say that monarch mk3 is a bit sharp in treble, wonder if it's just the individual's ear response, cause it doesn't look like it would be from the fr.
My ew200 have finally arrived and I gotta say it is as good as people claimed. And it fits me better than any other iem i had ever tried. So I will be looking for similar shape from now on.
This set is well within my price wheelhouse, and although I'm looking to move up in overall performance, If I can get more at the same price I'm used to paying - Hey! So much the better. The detailed examination of the full frequency reproduction is always very much appreciated BGGA! Keep on vibing everybody
