Origin

Agreed! Got the Origin a few days ago and they are fun, bass-oriented but still detailed sound. Never heard the Mega5est, I’ve read great reviews on them, but cannot compare how good Origin is vs M5E. Origin has big shells, very big.

This is quite the naive sentiment (which is ok). There is no "best" in this hobby, it is more than likely what you "prefer" for the type of music you listen to and what you value from said music. Having listened to both the pLTD and Origin, and being able to comfortably afford both, I agree they are a "great" value for the price considering what many flagship IEM's go for, but someone with a tighter budget would probably disagree with us. Overall I think you made a great choice and I'm sure you're very excited about your purchase.

Have you tried the Thieaudio Origin? I have both and prefer the Origin when portable but Titan wins at home on proper gear. Great iems indeed, highly recomend powering them properly since they do like a bit of power to come alive, what amp/dac do you have?

Don’t forget Thieaudio Origins as an edge case. Those are incredible imo

That’s interesting because I don’t get that from my set. Just deep, controlled, splendid bass, smooth mids, and an incredible soundstage. Only downside I can relay is they are some CHONKy boys.

Go for flipears Legion\~Aegis , thieaudio origin is more balance than legion. all 3 is very good with big soundstage, incredible bass and clarity. Plus they sound better than many flagship IEMs.

There are many cables that you can get that work well with all your IEM's why do your care if a IEM comes with a good cable. To answer your question I'm very happy with the excellent cable that comes with the Thieaudio Origin.

The Origin was one of 3 that made me say wow at a show. I ended up buying 2 the Thieaudio Origin and the Dunu Glacier the one I didn't buy was the Thieaudio Valhalla. The Origin is very special but the Glacier is the one I pick up most.

Penon Fan 3s is a good IEM, but especially when it’s on sale. The BC driver really does its job – the bass becomes a bit fuller and more tactile. You need a tip rolling! Another nice feature is that it has a switch that allows you to turn it on and off. The vocals are slightly pushed forward. Thieaudio origin - the best bass, but it is for basshead!

Nice:) My basshead experiences are pretty limited, only tried Thieaudio Origin, Fatfreq Deuce and owned Oriolus Szalayi previously. The Origin was at the limit of my tolerance, Szalayi was a bit more bearable. Deuce is actually somewhat polite on tracks with little subbass, but anything with subbass? It goes hard, too much for me. It might not be "standing right next to the subwoofers in a concert" level, but it's the closest I've heard.

I own a mest mki and can't personally hear the bone conduction; however I have tried the empire ears raven and thieaudio origin and do think I can hear the bone conduction driver on the right tracks.

I think the Tea Pros are the best all around iem with emphasis on the bass. Aren't many in that price range that I would consider better. Most of what everyone is suggesting are more neutral and vocal iems. Won't make me stop and say wow. Up from the Tea Pros, i'd be looking at the ThieAudio Origin or the Flipears Legion. Leading to the Tea Pros, I would have the ThieAudio Hype 4 and fhe Dunu Davinciis.
