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!

I’d vote for the Origin if you keen towards a basshead type of experience. The ie600 definitely won’t give you that experience. Of all the rest you can’t beat the Origin experience in presentation with the fewest nitpicking you’ll hevr eith the Hype 4 and the 3001BD. If you have the funds, it’s a buy and done, instead of buying, selling, trying the next, wash and repeat.

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.
