I have Thieaudio Oracle mk3 for everything (work, gaming, music, watching movies etc). Great sounstage and separation.
Aoshida E20 EQ'd to Thieaudio Oracle mk3, somehow works well and I'm satisfied with it.
Mine is the Oracle Mk3. Detailed, good sound stage width, just great musicality. Bass is great because of the isobaric sub configuration. The Kiwi Ears Punch is a close second. Love them both. https://preview.redd.it/kq3uku8e9raf1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e71afb86e9319eb784cd63174513e6d3cd163c1a
Started with the Thieaudio Hype 2. Sold those and bought the Xenns Mangird Top with the 7hz Thunderbird cable. Like jewelry. Matched perfectly. Sound was just as incredible. Love them. My wife stole them and said what Xenns Top? She uses them with the Divinus Velvet Wide Bore smalls. Got the Hidizs MP145 cuz I have huge ears and wanted a planar. Then got the Thieaudio Hype 10, and damn they're good. Then Fatfreq got with HBB and created a goddamn mess for months, but when the Deuce got here.....slammin bass. Then Thieaudio came out with the Oracle Mk3 and holy shit I was in heaven. Bought the Kiwiears Punch just cuz ultimate bass, but I hardly use them. Since the wife snatched the Top it's a toss up of the Oracle Mk3, Hype 10 and the MP145, with the Oracle being first
It’s the Hexa for me. Though I still continue to buy more expensive sets, I still frequently use the Hexa in my rotation. My current most expensive set right now is the Oracle MkIII which honestly is already endgame worthy to me, but the one set I demo’d, and can’t forget was the SeeAudio Kaguya 2, so I plan on getting that either later this year or by next year. That’s most likely gonna be my stopping point.
The Oracle mk3 is excellent, but it doesn’t seem to be available. Not sure if it’s been discontinued, but i couldn’t find it anywhere during 11/11, Black Friday
oracle mk3, top pro
Top Pro i a good step up, I was choosing between Oracle mk3 and Top Pro, but the wait for Top Pro was long, and the discount on Oracle was very good, so I bought Oracle, I am very happy with the purchase, moreover, this is exactly the level I was expecting, this is probably my end game
Arcanis is very good for vocal, less bass and the same technically. I have top pro and oracle mk3, the best for vocal and natural sound is Arcanis, top is too warm and bassy, Oracle is recessed mid and vocal but technically is the best of those 3.
Oracle mk3, $550 but you can find sales, it's better than top pro by any parameter maybe except musicality, because top pro is too warm. I'm waiting for "-". Oracle gives a better stage, bass, separation, more holographic, more neutral and natural. with right dac and ear tips can give "musicality".
I'd just get the Thieaudio Oracle MK3s, and you're done. Literally cannot go wrong with any genre
Saw your review on FB haha well said! Imo it's one of the benchmarks for that price bracket even though I was a bit disappointed with it's vocal performance, but it's technical performance is really top of the class. I think for better bass quality/quantity and vocals the Oracle MK3 would be a better set but for those who don't want EST treble, the Top Pro is as good as it gets.
Tea Pro is rated S tier!!, Origin is A tier, and Oracle MK3 is C tier interesting Honestly, Tea Pro should be in D tier on every list. It feels like listening to a speaker from another room or covered with a pillow. It’s fascinating how sound perception and preference work sometimes people like gear you just can’t stand.
