Oracle mk2 just landed at my front door, will report later on sound. The nozzle is pretty freaking huge coming from the M9 and u12t

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
- Thread starter IEMusic
- Start date
Initial impressions are male vocals are pretty stunning and wide stage for an iem. The cable is pretty much a disgrace and immediately replaced it with the fortitude project 8 with better mics and highs. All in all very satisfied with a different cable and spin fit tips
More to come over the weekend

I don't know whether the wire is good or bad in those cables but they looked like crap compared to the Tangzu Wu Zetian Hifi cable. More to come this weekend (once I can pry them from Jp's ears).
Thanks for sharing. That’s most likely the very first thing that even comes close to being a review of them.
Are you having issues with pressure when inserting them? My clairvoyance are horrible in that way, it takes some doing not to feel like I instantly ascended 3,000 feet.

No problems inserting them but I did pretty much toss the tips that came with them in favor of a pair of spin fits I had. Even with the quibbles with the cable and tips they sound excellent. Highs are extended and clean, bass is tasteful and enough for me. I do think tip rolling might improve the bass as the included and uncomfortable foam hybrid tips had a bit more impact.

Quibbles, I say no. Braid the cable, for g-ds sake.

These are very studio monitor sounding iems, to me they are better with a slightly warmer source. My Shanling m8 or Cayin ru6 are preferred to my FiiO btr7
Out of curiosity are the M9 and u12ts the only other IEMs you have to compare/contrast them to? I say “only” but anyone would be happy with never having anything other than those two.
I’m really trying to talk myself around to not buying these when they are in stock at audio46. No one needs these and the Clairvoyance. But,… they look so much better than the Clair’s and there’s still the chance of them being an upgrade.

So I own or have owned several Jerry Harvey products , moondrop b2, raptogo hook X, u12t, Sony ier z1r and have auditioned several dozen at shows. I have been off the show circuit since Covid though.
Hi, if it's possible, can you compare the oracle mkii with some iems you have and/or auditioned, specially in the same price range?
I'm really interested in acquiring them, but i can't try before buying where i live
Finally a professional review of the Oracle MKII. Cliffnotes are it’s the same as the old with a different tuning. At least in that reviewers opinion there are no improvements (other than treble extension), just a different flavor.
I’d encourage people to watch the video from about 9:30 to 16:00 or so. Nuertal - bright tuning without being sibilant great for jazz, classical or acoustic not the go to choice for metal or hard rock.
Full disclosure I may sell mine due to having 11 headphone/iems.
Was going to ask if it's good for Rock and metal. Thanks.
