I jumped off my wallet last night (Black Friday) and ordered a set of these as my early birthday/Christmas present to myself.

I have concerns that the render tips would not work with my ridiculously large ear holes (I take a XL in the Dunu's), but I'll never know until I try.

I think eartips have a lot to do with your personal ear canal shape as well. I tried the render tips with my MK3 and everything just seems a little "muted". Tried lots of different ones and the Dekoni foams are the night and day difference for my ear personally.

I never tried the Monarch MkII because I didn't like the fit of the original Monarch for my ears. I really liked the sound of the OG Monarchs, but I couldn't justify getting the MkII when the comfort just wasn't there and my QDC 8sh sounded better and was also much more comfortable. These being so huge makes me worried about their fit even more, as I can't really see them as being comfortable. I can only hope they don't sound better than my 8sh since they are soooo comfortable to me. Also hoping that these don't beat the FATfreq Maestro SE since those were going to be my next big IEM purchase.

Serious question to people who have heard the Monarch's, would you get a pair of Thieaudio Monarch MkIII's (or similar top end IEM) or a Focal Radiance? I only have $$$ for one and I can't decide if an expensive IEM is better than a pair of headphones for the money...
@spamcan920811 ай бұрын
I've made this mistake before. There are a few things you need to think about and decide on. First is use case scenario, by which I mean how do you intend to listen to these? At a desk, in bed, on the go etc. Second, do you prefer headphones or iems? Is one more comfortable that the other? This question becomes more important the longer you plan on listening. There's probably a few more things to think about but I haven't finished my coffee yet lol. That should at least get you started.
@thierryfaquet740511 ай бұрын
Use case is THE main point you need to think about. Are you listening on the go regularly ? IEM are kings Are you listening at home/office work ? IMO Headphones are more confortable for long session (my ears start sweating in the inside after ~2-3 hours of IEM and need a break) While I didn't ear the Mk III yet I doubt there's a wrong choice between the two. They are great options.
@lazyreuvin11 ай бұрын
Thanks for your answers. I'm gonna be plugged in to a Dac and Amp at my desk. I'm just asking purely based on an auditory level if either one has better timbre, seperation, space, clarity etc. Can an IEM really match an equally high end headphone...

@@lazyreuvin Sorry, I haven't heard either of them. Tbh if you'll be primarily working while listening to music and not critically listening, in this price range you're probably paying for small gains in performance that likely you won't even notice because your brain is preoccupied with other tasks. If I were to do it over again, I'd buy a few "mid tier" iems so I could have some variety.

There will always be new and better. If you truly want to buy one thing and totally stop buying right then and there, you'd have to remove yourself from the audio space pretty much completely.
