Those are some serious gorgeous backshells. The best part of Thieaudio releasing a new Monarch version is that the OG version will start being put up for sale in the classifieds. Can't wait.

Or not...depends on how the tuning changes the sound signature. It's just another variation, not necessarily "better".

Looks great though for sure.

I don't know tbh. All I know is that Linsoul usually holds very good sale events for 11.11.

Is the Oracle suitable for competitive gaming; meaning I need decent sound stage with pin point 3d imaging? at a lower price what beats it it that regard?

Monarch1 looks even more like a bargain now.

Wow… That's nearly $ 300 more. Was hoping the difference would be $ 100-150, but now I'm not sure if the mkii are worth it

It's a steep difference for sure. They have upgraded the cable with swappable terminations, rather than having adapters. They say that they also updated the drivers to the latest versions. And ThieAudio is now becoming more a household name, meaning they can charge more too.

It's difficult to say how good they are without hearing them. Monarch1 will likely keep its own own fanbase.

When compared to Craft Ears Aurum, the OG Monarch held its ground for being almost half the price. This time around when the difference in cost is smaller, I think any changes must be noticeable and not minor tweaks to justify it. Fingers crossed anyway, the Monarch was really close to having all the boxes ticked.

 

[Redcarmoose]

Cool!

That's significant increase in price.

But these look better and upgraded cable with inter changeable jacks.

I get a feeling these may fit better than the original and that's good news actually.

Are they available right away?

That's what it looks like.

You might want to check with Linsoul and see if they have any in stock still.

Worst case scenario it's between 2 and 4 weeks wait if it's made to order.
