Our editorial take on the THIEAUDIO by Linsoul Monarch MKIV In-Ear Monitor Earphones (Stellashot)

The ThieAudio Monarch MKIV In-Ear Monitors are positioned for both live performance and audiophile use. With ten drivers per earpiece, including electrostatic tweeters, updated balanced armature tweeters, and 8mm IMPACT2 subwoofer drivers, the device features a complex nine-component passive crossover system. A notable addition to this generation is the inclusion of a switchable mode selector, allowing users to choose between Standard and Rumble sound profiles.

Designed with a closed-back, in-ear (intra-aural) earpiece, the MKIV offers a wide frequency response range of 10 Hz to 44 kHz. It includes a detachable 2-pin cable made from eight thick strands of OFC and silver-plated wires, terminating in a 4.4mm connector, with a 3.5mm TRS adapter provided. Built-in controls offer additional user interaction.

At 78 grams per earpiece, these monitors approach the heavier end for their category, which users may need to consider for extended wear. The 9 Ohm impedance and 100 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz suggest they are relatively easy to drive, though the specific tonal differences of the Standard and Rumble modes would factor into their overall appeal for different listening preferences.

Best for: This product is best for audiophiles and performers seeking an in-ear monitor with advanced driver technology and customizable sound profiles.
