A man looking down at his anime mousepad, pausing, and saying, "Jesus," really just made me lose it for some reason lmao.

[@Ivan_1986]

Bro, I have bought a pair of this recently second hand in mint condition right after hearing 3 top tier Fir Audio sets and finding them just sounding like voices literally come behind the sub from several track (they sucked!). During that listening session I have tried out 64 Audio u18t and I have preferred them over all Fir Audio sets (to my surprise) and sound wise they were an improvement to my old Shure SE846... But than I wen't and heard Prestige LTD: way more comfortable with better isolation and much preferred their sound signature. There is a slight elevation down there, but... it just makes them only better for travel in noisy environments and yes - all genres of music sound great on them. For sure, from now on I will know that I can rely on your reviews much more (than some others), since clearly we have similar taste and idea of good sounding earphones :)

[@juanblanco7898]

Hype them up, boys! They're better than the Monarch's. That's exactly what I thought myself and going by the Dunu SA6 Ultra I think I might trust Zeos on this one too. I wish Crinacle would finally measure them on B&K 4620.

[@jasonblaise6786]

Monarchs are still better if you like that tuning. These like Zeos said are if you are into this tuning or soundstage. These are soundstage monsters

[@S.G54321]

​​@@jasonblaise6786 It's all about preference. If you like bass and a fun signature. Go for the Monarch MK3. If you want better technicalities (detail, speed, soundstage, imaging, layering, separation) The Prestige LTD is the way to go. They also have a more closer to neutral and overall smoother tuning.

[@jordanbruce]

Subjective. Monarchs are better imo. See? No need to hype. Hype tickles a part of the brain that doesn’t care about what really matters. Lol

[@S.G54321]

Not sure if I'd consider these hard to drive. The OG Tin P1 is way more power hungry. But these with an E1DA 9038s is portable end game 😁. The amount of enjoyment these give is insane. And when Zeos said the Monarch Mk3 is technically better. Nope. The Prestige LTD all the way. They measure more smoothly and neutral. Much nicer resolution and clarity, larger staging, better separation and better imaging. Endgame iem. But about power requirments. You want a good source yes. But they aren't crazy power hungry 😊

[@radiofreealbemuth]

I have a question. Do you need a portable amp for the Prstige LTD? I'm new to IEMs so this is all new to me.

[@S.G54321]

@@radiofreealbemuth Yes. You'd want a dac/amp for the Prestige LTD to get the best out of it. You don't need to spend a crazy amount, something like a Cayin RU7 is great

[@radiofreealbemuth]

@S.G54321 ah, I see, is the cayin ru7 compatible with other IEMs as well? Also, do you have the Prestige LTD?

[@S.G54321]

@@radiofreealbemuth Yes the Cayin RU7 is one of the best dac/amp dongles you could buy so far. A very good portable dac/amp that works well with all iems. And yes I have the Prestige LTD with Dunu S&S eartips

[@radiofreealbemuth]

@S.G54321 ah, I see. I heard the LTD has great separation of instrumentals. I guess they call this "imaging"? Do you agree that the separation is exceptional, or are there alternatives with similar qualities? I'm also wondering if you can comment on the sound stage

[@codee-music]

The LTD's deliver the performance I was looking for at that price point perfectly.

[@S.G54321]

They deliver performance ahead of the price they go for. I'd take the Prestige LTD over the Elysian Annihilator. Truly an amazing iem the Prestige LTD are. They scale extremely well to. The better the source, the more they give you

[@codee-music]

@@S.G54321 Absolutely!

[@thesunchaser.]

I have a Astell & Kern Kann Ultra, and thinking about buying the Prestige LTD or the Monarch MKIII. What would be the best one between these 2, for the Ultra?????

[@tanjacky5780]

I have Thieaudio Divinity V16 and Prestige LTD.As Zeos said, Prestige has the best tuning and sound stage which can make me listen to the Music for hours. While the V16 has the most detailed sound but kinda fatiguing.

[@S.G54321]

I actually find the Prestige LTD to be better overall with detail and layering. The V16 is highly detailed but pushes them forward and can become much. The LTD is more effortless and while it may sound not as detailed at first. The more you listen. The more the layering comes to play and the details are there. Just not being forced into your ears haha. Overall, for me. The Prestige LTD is the superior iem 😊.

[@ParkI39]

If they were around the same price, would you still choose the Prestige LTD?

[@tanjacky5780]

Yes, I use Prestige more often than V16. But Prestige requires a better music playback device while V16 can be drived by any device .@@ParkI39

[@S.G54321]

​@@ParkI39 Yes. The Prestige LTD is a very smooth, non fatiguing sound with heaps of clarity and detail but it's so effortless and smooth. Simply an iem that presents music in a way that is never fatiguing, so easy listening yet it can be very engaging, have heaps of slam and low end. It's endgame. The V16 is highly detail and clear. But becomes fatiguing and sounds clinical at times. If you want an amazing all rounder. The Prestige LTD is extremely hard to beat. And to get better, you'd have to spend at least double the amount

[@radiofreealbemuth]

​@tanjacky5780 what device do you use for prestige ltd? Can you use something like moondrop dawn pro, or do you need mojo 2?

[@mf241]

Hello. Thanks for your great and detailed review. I've been looking for a iem headphone for a long time. I would appreciate it if you could answer me because I'm very confused. I found 3 iem headphones on the market for the price of Sennheiser ie900 = 1000 dollars, Beyerdynamic xelento remote 2 = 715 dollars, Thieaudio prestige (not ltd) = 570 dollars. Which one do you think I should buy? I know all three are loved. Prestige winks at me because of its cheap price. Do you think it is worth paying more for xelento 2 or ie900? I usually listen to new age, classical music, Jazz, groove and Rock. I don't listen to hip hop.

[@beyondtheuniverse999]

If you had reviewed MMK3 and this at the same time I should've bought this instead of MMK3. 🤦‍♂️. Just how much better is it compared to MMK3?

[@gddfhjiufcv]

same thing happened to me, he goes on about everything like it's the best thing since sliced bread then weeks later he says something shits on it. Pretty annoying channel, I won't be watching it again tbf

[@karolkedzierski5824]

Did you watch the video? He said that the MMK3 are better but he likes these more. He even described the differences.

[@beyondtheuniverse999]

@@karolkedzierski5824 I watched the video bruh, he said they're technically measured better but he enjoys listening to prestige more. Based on my experience buying my preferred sound signature taste lines up with his.

[@juanblanco7898]

That's why you should wait for as long as possible before getting on a hype train and learn to form your own opinions/expectations on the products independently from these reviews. Still there's always going to be something better arriving relatively shortly after that might make you regret your decision, especially in this segment.

[@juanblanco7898]

Also, you could try to EQ the MKIII to Prestige LTD as a target and see how you feel about it. Should be very close and pretty representative due to the extremely similar FR's and driver configurations.

[@oliver_1997]

Dude if you’re gonna keep selling shit to me the wife will take all my audio gear in the divorce 😂

[@apollomoonlandings]

This one of the rare times that I have seen Zeos being both truly and totally impressed by a product. His only complaint was not about the sound. Instead, it was that it takes a lot to drive these IEMs since their sensitivity is quite low at only 98 dB (Thieaudio's measurement terms are undefined). These are not IEMs to blind buy unless you have the high end gear to properly drive them.

[@ZReviews]

They are pretty relaxed in their gear preference.

[@radiofreealbemuth]

What high end gear do you need to drive them? I was hoping to drive them with moondrop dawn pro and s22 ultra

[@reflection1119]

They are sooooooo good

[@bluecreamsodaman1]

You forgot your 💎 in the title, I wish I could at least demo those.

[@HeyHey-qp9eh]

Prestige Ltd vs LETSHUOER Cadenza 12 any recommendation? I’m considering this 2 model, thank you!

[@dont.stop.listening]

2DD is just gimmick isobaric dd Volur Monarch MK3 because even with 1 DD like in Noble Onyx UM MEST MK2 the bass is as rumbly and as textured with subwoofer feel

[@Rumeel12708]

Hhhhmmmmm would Questyles M15 power these? I want my 3rd pair of IEMs and well should I just go for the king if the hill??????

[@ChaoticFoxxie]

They are indeed awesome iems I’ve been enjoying my 64 audio volurs at the moment

[@songboek]

How do they compare?

[@DarthRaven2]

They record smooth af on a graph btw

[@carminedesanto6746]

Hey..Is there an headphone that comes anywhere even close . You said it in your conversation with CMA ..speakers, Headphones..BUT IEMS are uniquely special 😊

[@carminedesanto6746]

Damn …😳 This is very high praise!! Thank you..but $1300 US 🤦‍♂️

[@En_Joshi-Godrez]

The fail is that you cant afford it, or do you genuinely believe that only rich people can?

[@En_Joshi-Godrez]

Hopefully not the latter

[@carminedesanto6746]

GM ☕️…I have to take exchange rates and domestic peace . Can I afford them ..yes …but this came out after my birthday…but maybe next year 😂

[@QIBODE]

Hey everyone! Are these a good combo together with the FiiO M17

[@radiofreealbemuth]

Can i drive these with the moondrop dawn pro? Or do i need to buy mojo 2

[@in-earfetish]

i think dawn will be fine. They aren't THAT hard to drive.

[@radiofreealbemuth]

@@in-earfetish thanks, tone deaf monk says if the Prestige LTD is anything like Monarch MK3, it'll need a lot of juice to get going, so he says he uses his 10 watt amp

[@JohnBaines-y5u]

Z has no hype on these, he is absolutely spot on with his review. But be aware, you DO need to run them in for a few good hours to get the best out of them. They are absolutely phenomenal.

[@nelsondsilva2543]

Do you still listen to these?

[@flagoman]

will this be in the YARD SALE :) (:

[@chris.davidoff]

Would this or a $1300 headphone be better? Let's say for desktop PC listening, not for walking around.

[@DushanTorbjorn]

Whilst I find the technical ability of these iem's are nicer than similar priced closed back headphones, open back planers within the same price for desktop amp setup would be my personal preference.

[@spamcan9208]

Depends on what you want and if you work in a quiet environment. iems and closed backs will isolate from noise better but a nice open back headphone usually will open up the sound, if that makes sense. Eventually you'll just end up with a few different sets because that's how it works here lol. It's nice to have options however, especially if you listen to a diverse range of music genres.

[@chris.davidoff]

@@spamcan9208 those are good points, thank you :)

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

Comfort is a consideration, if you drop your can they might come with issues on iem it is less the case..

[@alitutuncu391]

'Z" please just clarify time stamp 12:15 did you mention in the video that if someone got these and tanchjim should retire from audio for ever ? just to clarify which tanchjim ? is it the tanchjim Kara or is it another brand ? because i am planning on retiring from audio .

[@tai6188]

He’s talking about the Modhouse Tungsten, a very good but reasonably priced headphone

[@msteele0]

At least Zeos has stopped assessing IEMs with foam tips. Way to go Zeos.

[@V4zz33]

What's wrong with the foam tips?

[@msteele0]

@@V4zz33 Everything.

[@V4zz33]

@@msteele0 Haha;)) Feel free to elaborate on the topic. For me noise isolation is a must, and the Dekoni Mercury tips were the best so far, and to save the bass.

[@msteele0]

@@V4zz33 Foam do NOT isolate. Foam do NOT create a complete seal. For any IEM to be able to show its full potential, you must have a complete seal. FOAMs are a completely flawed solution that should never be used for critical listening. Every expert knows this. Just another reason Zeos has been a laughing stock all these years for any real audiophile. He's finally seen the light after how many years??? lol

[@kingofkings4778]

Is it worth 300$ more?

Depends on just how much you can stretch your budget. I'd say get them if you're able to. I wouldn't hesitate buying these if I had the money, but with Mobarch MKIII I would.
