( P.S: Would be nice if people showed off their Clairvoyance/Monarch! )

I know, I know... Already posted a couple of pictures of my Monarch, but after this morning lovely listening time, I gotta post one more to show my faithfulness (à-la Monarch Butterfly). Despite the bad phone camera. Sorry.
(After some little swapping, I turned back to stock tips and standard, wonderful cable.)

Monarch on His Royal Throne.

Please share more photos everybody! I enjoy looking at the innards of these fascinating IEMs.

The silver original is prettier and somewhat stiffer, but this one is similar and quite good. The Monarch comes with the best cable I have ever seen in a IEM. The penalty is the connector.

I’m waiting for my Monarch ordered 3 days ago, they said 10 days, but I’m assuming is gonna be more. How long was your wait? What’s wrong with the connectors?
thanks!!

I can’t believe it took me so long to notice this, but given how much I like my L3, I think it’s safe to say I’d love the Clairvoyance. The Clair graph has a lot of general similarities, yet is better in every way, IMO.

This is the photo that I took with my phone to show my wife (who is on the other side of the ocean) that I spent 600€ on a pair of headphones, hehehe, not easy to someone outside of this hobby... She told me that they seem a rapper headphones, hehe

I can understand the personalized plates. I think that the original plates maybe are not the most beautiful, but I see them as the plates that identify the IEMS. They are very original and distinctive, and I like them because of that

If you don't use the 2.5 mm connector directly, the connection is a bit cumbersome. Anyway, I see that Linsoul is selling the 3.5mm straight-through cable.
In my case it took a week to ship and two weeks to arrive.

Got it! Thanks, I see now what you mean. Not my case, 2.5 is what I use.
They told me about 10 days to send the order.

Be careful, if I am not wrong, they mean working days. So 10 days are two weeks.

In my case I was not seeing any update on my order status, then all of a sudden I got a DHL message saying that I have to pay the import tariff.

If you want to get updates, the best option is the Linsoul Discord server. They have a good customer service there.

I ordered mine on the 29th and the confirmation email said 15-25 working days before it's shipped.

Thanks guys for all the updates !!! I ordered mine the 28, I was trying to be a couple of weeks before 11.11 madness. I did it through Linsoul AE store since they had ( or have) $25 off plus a couple of coupons and AE’s coins I was able to discount about $54 from the total.
I chatted with somebody at Linsoul and the person told me 10 days, but based on others comments I knew that was too short.
I had bought in the past from Linsoul, but only cables.

Yeah their website chat support seems a overly optimistic with their build time estimates from my experience. For more accurate info connect with Linsoul on Discord. They are very helpful on there:

I contacted Linsoul last week via their contact form on their web store. They responded pretty quickly, and essentially you should expect to not take delivery (specifically if you're in the U.S., that is) for 30 - 45 days (the end of that range to temper expectations).

Bought the Ananda for 480usd, 11.11 sale.
early impression, neutral sound, very good tonality. It sounds more like the clair from memory. The monarch is still win with the imaging and details. Bass is a bit thin compared to the twins, and not extend deep like the monarch, but controlled.
Amp using Aune X1.
Bonus, tried moondrop illumination. this sounds like much more refined blessing 2. good tonality, body with details. still not as detailed and separated as the monarch. Tonality is good, but a bit below clair.

I recently had the opportunity to purchase Max1236's Monarchs. (Thanks again!)

Posted earlier, here is his photo of them. I love the faceplate colour!

Here are the pictures of what's inside.
