Just received the Clairvoyance from Headphones.com. Comes with a hard plastic pelican-like case now instead of the leather one. Enjoying the sound signature which goes well with my music library. Just trying out the different tips.....

I received the similar casing for my Monarch too , not leather case.

Tried different cables unfortunately. Trying to look for shipping options right now, DHL seems to want $180 to ship it back.

$180 shipping fees is one quarter of this IEM price , crazy expensive !

Linsoul should absorb the cost if they confirm it's a defective unit and under warranty.

Yeah, I got the plastic case too.

I tend to buy Pelican 1010 cases for all of my IEMs, so a plastic case is fine by me...

I bought cheap aluminium wrist watch case from AliExpress around USD1.30 each with silica gels to store my IEMs.

I will use CA leather or Pelican case for traveling.

That’s a great idea!

For those curious about warranty/repairs... According to Linsoul, they have a DHL service and they only charge $20-30 for it. So I guess I don't have to pay $100-$200 for shipping after all.

I assume I'd have to print a shipping label from Linsoul and bring it to a DHL office to send it.

If this is true, it would be a great solution.

My Monarch's left side seems to have lost most of the bass rumble, is a driver dead?

I've switched cables, switched between 3.5 to 2.5 balanced, switched between 3 amps, and the same thing. Barely any rumble from 10 Hz to 70 Hz while the right side does fine.

From: https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_frequencychecklow.php

I assume I'd have to warranty it... I'd appreciate it if anyone has any ideas on what to do for a warranty.

Yep, same thing happened to me. Sounds like the DD driver died and only the BA’s are providing the bass or the other way around. Not sure. But I know for a fact that it’s a driver problem. I sent mine back to Linsoul and they’re repairing it now. I really hope they fix it and it STAYS fixed.... For a flagship IEM like the Monarch, it shouldn't have QA issues like this.

thieaudio seems about as reliable as any other chinese brand. maybe dont need to go to the top of the line and start with oracle first.
