    4-May-24 Penon Turbo – brief sound impressions, by Sameer Tangri A little about me: I prefer a balanced to warm sound for enjoying my music. I own sets like the 64 Audio Trio, Final A8000, and Thieaudio Monarch MKII. I dislike any one frequency overpowering or dominating all others, be it...

    JVC Spiral Dots ++ are amazing

    Hi. Any tips on the sizing? I use size M in SpinFits and size MS in Azla ear tips. So which size in the JVC Spiral Dot ++ ear tips should I go for- MS, M, or ML? Thanks for your help.

    ThieAudio Monarch MKII Experience

    Regd. the ear tips sizing with the Monarch MKII - my experience has been that a size smaller works well. Usually, the M-size ear tips fit me the best for all my IEMs. However, with the Monarch MKII, the S-size fits best. I am using the SpinFit W1 ear tips S-size and these are 100% comfortable...

    Etymotic Ear Tip Options

    I just got the SpinFit CP240 for my ER2XR and quite like them. The sound has remained unaltered (as far as I can judge) but the fit is much more comfortable and the seal is just as good for me as the stock tips. I think the improved comfort is due to the softer silicone that the SpinFits have.

    Thank you to all who responded. Mark, after doing some reading, the ER2XR got me very curious, and it is what I have ordered now. It is a set that has been very well received by many audiophiles and its price is also very reasonable (this is important to me considering it would be my first...

    ThieAudio Monarch MKII Experience

    To all the fellow members who love the MMK2's sound, please help me by sharing your experience. Background: I own and love the MMK2. But honestly, I am scared to carry it around when traveling and all. I always think I will bump it and break it or something (it is an expensive set for me)...

    ThieAudio Monarch MKII Experience

    MMK2 is a big IEM. But I settled with it after switching to the SpintFit W1 ear tips (S size). With the W1 ear tips the seal is great, and the fit is very comfortable with little pressure buildup over extended listening sessions (3-4 hours). If you end up buying them, know that they're a great...

    Thanks for your responses. Who said an audiophile's life is easy and straightforward? :ksc75smile: I now must find a way to finalize this for myself. I'll surely let you know once I do that.

    Thanks for the response. The Dunu 02S is not available locally for me. I'll have to import it. The Kinera Leyding on the other hand is available locally and hence, easier to get for me. Have you by any chance used the Kinera Leyding with your MMKII?

    ThieAudio Monarch MKII Experience

    Hello all. Is the Kinera Leyding a good choice of cable for the MMKIIs? I'm using SpintFit W1 Eartips and they improved the fit and comfort drastically. Now I am planning to pull the trigger on the cable. I somehow think the MMKIIs will shine even more with a good aftermarket cable. The...

    Reply to review by 'SamTan' on item 'THIEAUDIO Monarch MKII'

    Thanks for your review! I purchased the MMKII last year and it was my first step into the $1000 territory. The next set that I tested and purchased as an upgrade was the 64 Audio Trio, which is way more expensive. That's how good the MMKII is, and I fully agree with your review and...

    I think your observations are overall very similar to what I observed some time back when I tried the UM MEST MKII. Glad to see this. :) The MMKII is a really good IEM that punches way above its price point!
