FYI, I cut the foam out of my ghost's pads and it made a pretty significant difference IMO. Just putting that out there for anyone curious. fold over the leather flap if you do it and carefully cut close to the pad and you'll even be able to put them back in if you want to.

im thinking about doing this to mine, what do you mean by fold over the leather flap

[@D4rk51d332]

@@bendover7988 there is a flap that holds the pad to the headphones that you need to flip the opposite direction so you don't cut it. Maybe it is better to say that you need to roll it onto the pad so that it's out of the way.

Hey Zeos, love your vids. You're the reason I got into audio. My first recommendation of yours was the Audio Technica MTH-40X with the cowhide pads from ZMF. Very recently got my T4 Plus and Blon B50's. Hoping to add this as the 7th recommendation of yours that I have bought Edit: Boom just ordered it

[@samuelforbes8774]

My Thieaudio Ghost arrived a few days ago. So far, I have to say that these deserve every bit of praise you gave them! Wow. I have not tried the Meze pads yet (still on preorder). The last headphone that impressed me this quickly was the Sony CD900st. Thank you, Zeos!

[@jhonis]

Mine arrived today. perfect fit. perfect sound. I'm using a FIIO K5 Pro on medium gain. The cable is strangely great. Imaging is great. Pads work well enough for me. Satisfied for my budget.

The hype is real. These are good even forgetting the price. They fit my head like a glove--light and comfortable. They look nice and they're well built. Vocals are crystal clear. Sound stage is nice. The bass is nicely textured. The treble is not too hot. It's very, very, enjoyable and a winner. Oh, and they don't leak sound too bad--more like a semi-open. I can sit next to my wife (6ft.) while she's watching TV and not drive her crazy with my music. Thank you Zeos.

[@LukasVokrinek]

Funny how this works. I got mine the other day and ended up returning it because while dynamic and capable, the vocals had a tinny, harsh quality to them. So while the sound had good body and slam, it sinultaneously sounded a bit harsh and tinny in the upper range. Certainly not the smoothness I was expecting. Quite the contrary, at an aggressive and dynamic sound. I wonder if perhaps there is some QC issues still, since the reviews of the Ghost are not very uniform across reviewers.

[@preauxtip]

I've had these for about a month now and I got the 109 pads in the mail finally last week. Before that I just had cut out the foam in the center. I do think the 109 pads improve the sound further beyond exposing the driver with the stock pads. It seems to firm up the bass a lot. They're a warmer/darker sounding headphone which is my style anyway so I'm having a great time with them. Also the 109 pads are very comfortable.

[@blueman1027]

Thanks for the update. I'm glad at least someone is getting those 109 pads. Still waiting on mine. Idk why Mimic took the page down. A "sold out" status would have worked. Taking the page down just leaves people who have already bought wondering if they should continue waiting or seek a refund. What you describe certainly sounds worth the wait, though.

[@daniel94ne]

I'm greatly thankful for this recommendation. Got mine today. They truly are unbelievably good at this price point. Edit: You MUST cut the fabric, it muffles the sound so much. I just did, now they're even better. Bass is way cleaner, highs are crazy crisp. It makes the soundstage a bit wider as well.

Hey Z. I never buy any audio equipment cheap or expensive without doing an unreasonable and unhealthy amount of due diligence. Except for these.They are inexpensive enough that even if they end up a disappointment, I won't hold a grudge against you for more than a month or two. UPDATE: I've had these cans for a week now. Without a question they are a superb value. They punch way above their weight. They are a music listerner's headphone. Beautiful, big, clear. But they aren't reference or "hi-fi". They sound better to me that my Elegia, the Sennheiser 650x and the Audeeze planar magnetic. But again better in the enjoyable sense. Those cans I mention are much better if you're looking for "true to the source", "clinical" studio monitor (they are also 5X+ more expensive). TL;DR: well worth the impulse-purchase price.

Dammit Zeos you sold me on the ifi Zen dac v2, and now on this =P

[@UpgradingAsUsual]

OK the Ghost headphones have been delivered. Well so far, I'm not all that impressed. I am still waiting on the Meze pads but I changed the stock pads for some cloth ones that are way better than stock but still, meh? The low end is where the disappointment for me comes from. I have ran a few test tones and it seems they roll off pretty hard after 30hz and down. I have a Minidsp EARS measuring kit if I really wanted to get technical but I think I might just do that in a few weeks after these have broken in and when the Meze pads arrive. But man, I'm a little deflated after this hyper review. Do the Meze pads really make that much of a difference?

[@7in1]

Hey, thanks for your balanced comment, what's now your opinion about them?

@@7in1 Haven't used them since my last comment. Waste of money. I got the Meze pads the end - same story. I'll just say it how it is. I'm used to LCD-2, Sundara, Edition XS etc. Even for the money, gaming headphones like the Kingston Hyperx Cloud Alpha sound on par or better than the Ghost. Better to look at Sivga for bang-for-buck or Blon.

I'm just glad i stopped being angry about spent money years before i got the 109s^^ You just bought something when a new product comes out for a fraction of the price you paid and 99% of the same specs as the product you bought.

Now this was a great review but....these headphones for gaming...? Driven on say....fiio e10k. Would they be better than the DT 770 Pros? We all know some headphones are remarkable for music but are really underwhelming for gaming. Thoughts?

[@williamnaman3570]

The cables that come with it are like antennae for noise. Hart cables had mini right hand cables that fixed the problem with the stock cables rubbing on your shoulders. The color of the connectors matches the gold accent ring. I got the Meze ear pads. My ears don't touch the plastic face now and it does seem to sound better. Watch a meze pad installation video. I used a burnishing tool to stretch the edge around. On Tull, Too old to Rock and Roll Remaster, the detail and dynamics were impressive.

@@h4tch3tt74 Did you try the 1540 pads on Ghost?

[@JMCIII1957]

As of 11/18/23 you can find the Theiaudio Ghosts for a mere $87. For that price they are a steal.

[@TheJAMF]

Nice! Would they be good gaming alternatives for the AKG 7XX or the Røde NTH-100?

[@ZReviews]

Id think so.

[@bendover7988]

gaming is very enjoyable with the ghost but you wont get much low end

[@pappsa8]

I ordered it god damn it! Iam soooo curious!!!!!!

[@madmatt151]

Me too, plus had coupon from Canjam NYC made them 99

[@pappsa8]

it seems a good deal!

[@jonathanhughes5806]

Ghost vs SHP-9500?

[@adamohl7751]

Ok so super stupid question probably. Off of Z’s recommendation I have the monoprice modern retro(which for 40$ are awesome) and I have the kph40’s. I can only assume the Ghosts are a night and day difference. And will take me to a whole different level. Yes??

[@masterxyr]

aaaand here's another set I don't need and yet why not. Their build is good, the sound seems really good too. heck, I'll paint them

Paint away

Finally got 109 pro pads. Made a thin solid ribbon of "blue tac" and pressed them on. Don't fear blue tac.....! Best, D.

[@Krasche02]

Impressions?

[@darrellross8609]

​@@Krasche02 they sound perfect, they do lack the lowest bass (slam). I am grateful to have them.

[@Krasche02]

@@darrellross8609 Ok, thanks! Enjoy! :) BTW, hybrid pads gives a bit more thump in the bass.

I own around 25 pairs of headphones ranging from the Philips X2HR to the Klipsch HP-3 and Audeze LCD-X. I have a range of experience with "mid-tier" headphones. I will compare these with similarly priced, dynamic drivers headphones. Zeos reviews got me curious about these light-weight cans and his hype was, indeed, over done. He compared these to the near $1000 USD Meze 109 Pros: that was unwarranted. Now, that does NOT mean that there aren't worth your time, though most "audiophiles" should keep looking for something more in-line with real expectations . There is no diamond in the rough or blazing trail of light. You aren't getting top tier quality for pennies on the dollar.

Update on my order of Thieaudio Ghost: Ordered them direct from Linsoul on Mar 19 and still have not received them. Their shipping department seems dazed and confused. I suppose I will wait a little longer before considering cancelling my order.
