Thanks for the review. I own both and out of the box Origin has wider soundstage and the bass is more textured vs mk3 for me. I love how you got into details and break down different parts of the graph, was very informative, I dont see this kind of technical breakdown from other reviewers. Keep up to the good work, subscribed! I would love to try your PEQ for both IEMS, would greatly appreciate if you could share so I can hear what you are describing. Cheers!

[@EricJorgensen1]

Thank you! Love this one.

[@521tifosi]

Nice video detailing the differences between the origin and mk3. The even better value and comparison yet to be made is when you put the Hype 4 against the Monarch mk3. I owned both, and the tuning is nearly the same. Even though you get more detail out from the mk3, in my opinion, the hype 4 for $379 gets you about 90% or more of the mk3.

[@VoxVirtus86]

I am thinking the Origin is probably my end-game set... Maybe next year!

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

They are definitely the finest earphones I have ever heard, but then, I've not heard any other Theiaudio models.

[@PeterLathourakis]

I might not understand everything but I sure learn a few things with each of your vids THANKS

[@Ducbloke]

@@PeterLathourakis thanks Peter

[@ozzsanchez4715]

love the reviews

[@kila501]

got a set of mk3's incoming would love your peq file to try out eventually using peace -equalizer apo!

The monark mk3 settings that he created are amazing made my monarch sound so much better.

[@Frobbo]

Do you know if it’ll sound like his tuning if I used his peq with the q5k?

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

Monark = one ship.

[@h1a8]

I would have loved to see the squiglinks to both after you applied PEQ. Or at least post the PEQ settings so that we can see what both graphs would look like.

[@Ducbloke]

@@h1a8 email me at [e-mail] and I will send you the PEQ. You can import it into Squiglink and do your own overlay. Just pin the trace and import

[@ozzsanchez4715]

I would love to have the Monark MK3 setting that you have, also if its possible to have them for wavelet also. For android used with my dap.

[@codee-music]

Nice work! How can I check out the MK3 tunings? I see on Squiglink. I can't wait to check them out! Thanks!

[@Ducbloke]

@@codee-music subscribe and email me at [e-mail]. that's about it. I will send it to you

[@SP-nb5bv]

Have heard both at canjam and I agree w ur assessment. How do these compare to shock?

[@Ducbloke]

I'll do that next. A BCD shootout with Shock and Phantom

[@jeffreybateman7314]

Enjoy the different format. Monarch MKIII is my favorite all-around IEM in my collection. They handle most of my library very well. They prompt me to experiment with niche IEMs to compliment them. (Quintet, for example) Really intrigued by the Aful Cantor for the technical performance, but there are so many stories about poor fitment. Also, I see the Pilgrim Noir on a big sale, but do they have anything special to their sound signature? Any recs would be great. Great job. Subbed.

[@Ducbloke]

Thank you. This feedback inspires me to continue to improve. If you want the PEQ LMK

[@PBA8]

@@Ducbloke Can you tell me the size comparison between the Thieaudio Monarch MKIII and the Origin? Which one is bigger?

[@dtdcampbell]

Appreciate the comparison. Been debating on getting an Origin to add to my collection but been unsure since already have a Monarch MKIII Just out of curiosity. What are you using for a mic to record videos? Found a lot of variation in tone and loudness.

[@Ducbloke]

@@dtdcampbell my bad on this one for the recording. New format using PPT and had to angle the go pro up more. Pushed my Sennheiser mic close to my mouth. Fixed it for the next one.

[@nhennessy6434]

Would love the PEQ file for the Monarch III. Was thinking about the Monarch II as my endgame upgrade, but with your peq, I'm sure the MKIII would be even better.

[@Ducbloke]

[@dilankalpa]

Ordered the Origin on 11:11 Aliexpress sale for 750 USD. Could you share the PEQ settings please? Planning to try with PEACE - Equalizer APO

[@Ducbloke]

Email me at [e-mail] and I'll send them to you

[@Frobbo]

How’d u get it for 750?

[@Ducbloke]

@ bundle sale on Linsoul

[@mikelim1894]

Nice comparison review. I sold the Monarch MK3 because of the outer shell was too chunky and uncomfortable to wear it. Is Origin smaller?

[@Ducbloke]

@@mikelim1894 nope. Same size. Smaller try Phantom

[@soumyajit92]

do you think monarch mk3 ll be a significant upgrade and worth the money from oracle mk3 which I have ?

[@Ducbloke]

Very much so.

[@seanner69]

Is it worth getting the Monarch if I already have Origin? I can definitely afford it, and it's always been on my list, but due to the 11.11 deals on the Origin I grabbed that instead and am absolutely loving it so far. My library leans bass heavy so it's been amazing for me. With that said, I still have a curiosity about the Monarch and it's about 850usd with the current sale. Not sure if it's different enough to warrant another purchase. Might just wait until this time next year and see if the Monarch Mk4 appears 😂

[@Ducbloke]

If you want more texture and have a $1k budget, then yes. If you want something even better, above $2k, then the Omega, GM or CP622B come into the equation.

[@seanner69]

​@@Ducbloke Thanks! Think I'll enjoy what I have for now and look at making another purchase next year. Also, would I be able to grab the PEQ for the Origin while I'm at it?

[@Ducbloke]

@seanner69 email me at [e-mail]

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

@@seanner69 If you want a balanced all-rounder at a decent price, consider the TANGZU AUDIO XUANWU GATE. It is sublime!

[@alanlim7068]

Wow, so much deep on sound. i haven't got one yet Thieaudio. i like MJ song - billie jeans. i think i more on like bass which one you recommand appreciated if can help me, thanks

Thieaudio Prestige LTD + EQ. God tier 😁

Been wanting to hear the Prestige

[@S.G54321]

​@@DucblokeI think with your magic. You could come up with a EQ and truly make something extremely special.

Hi I have the Monarch MK3 and would love to try your PEQ settings. Can you make it available for Peace APO? Wavelet as well please. Thanks!

[@jesustsa1]

So the duece and origin scored almost the same after peq?

[@Ducbloke]

@@jesustsa1 yep

[@Frobbo]

So by eqing it you can achieve better bass or the same as the origin? I have the monarch mk3 and can’t decide if I should upgrade. I’m guessing by off your rating that if you had to choose one it’d be the monarchs?

[@Ducbloke]

@@Frobbo yep 👍 I would chose the MMKIII. If you'd like the settings, send me an email and I'll send them to you. [e-mail]

OMG I feel like I just got a PhD I’m buying an Origin

[@G00dH0uR83]

Loved the sound of the Origin but those shells are way too large. Couldn't listen for more than 5 minutes at a time. Very sad as they punch way over the asking price,.

[@Ducbloke]

@@G00dH0uR83 if you want smaller shells with BCD the Penon Fan3 is good at $300 and the BGVP Phantom is good at around $800. The Phantoms are VERY small and comfortable

[@G00dH0uR83]

@@Ducbloke Thanks Tim! I've had my eye on the Phantoms for sure....

[@The_Geek_World]

I thought it would be an easy UM MEST replacement but i was wrong i mean the Origin

[@Ducbloke]

@@The_Geek_World you're a bone conduction guy. As am I. Between this, the BGVP Phantom, Kinera Verdandi and the TSMR Shock, I think I like this one best. Need to complete some side by sides against its peers. The MMKIII isn't really a peer. It's a big brother

[@denislemieux7294]

Had to stop watching. How much are each? Not said; mumbling at times, maybe poor mic. Please do better.

[@Ducbloke]

Yes sir... I already bought a new Mic. Should be good now
