Pros

For soundstage, try the song tundra by amber rubarth or nara by e. Female vocals are amazing - even male vocals come out lush on these iem's such as unshaken by d'angelo. The legacy plays great with older songs in my library. The headphone is very lig...  Read More

Bass is smooth and punchy, as opposed to the sort of smooth but muddy bass of my hd650. Mids and highs are on target, present not overwhelming high bright not strident. They have a little less treble than id normally want but its not bad.

Treble is sweet and bright, almost to the point of fatigue but just off. Only problem is they didn't include the original packaging even though i bought it new. The lighter an iem is the better as far as i am concerned.

This is the first affordable iem that comes close. Just getting difficult to find something available and still replaceable, that fit that flc signature. My first chi-fi purchase.

The mids are smoother on the legacy 3 where the mids on the starfield are a little more textured. Mids are natural, smooth and detailed.



Cons

Bulky molded body, with minimal ergonomic shape. Sound is meh and the qc is not great. A danged shame, they are amazing otherwise.

Quality


They sound beautiful and i am very happy overall with the quality.


These are a great pair of iems that do a fantastic job of providing high quality audio through a wide range of genres.


Even after multiple hours of use, they never fell off or got uncomfortable.


This does not harm the sound, makes them very light.

Price


Incredible value at 3 times this price.


These were very inexpensive, feel, look and sound amazing.


I would put them in the sub $40 headphone rangeoverall i was pretty unimpressedoh well they go back to china


Still for the $130 hard to imagine something more musically satisfying, relaxing, voiced etc.

Packaging/appearance


One star off until i get the correct packaging.


)besides the iems & cable in the box is a beautiful blue case.


Weird because every unboxing video i've seen shows them in a black thieaudio box.


It wasn't in a box just an amazon prime envelope.

Competitiveness


Also note that the porcelain white and aw11 (shimmering blue) models have different connectors than the clockworks and mystique models.


Overall, these sound as good or better than my senheiser hd 650's and i can actually transport them conveniently.


Not the most drivers/extra's per dollar, but that isn't what linsoul wanted when they created thieaudio.


Way more popular brands out there are guilty of giving you very bad quality stock cables(i'm looking at you, shure!

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I actually like a little bit of mud in my headphones as long as they are detailed because it makes headphones feel more relaxed and while these dont do that they have their own character that i quite like


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These and the starfield image a little differently where the starfield does 360 positional imaging better the starfield does that ridiculously well the imaging on the legacy 3 is enhanced by a depth the starfield just doesnt have


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The starfield is somewhat veiled to my ear but they do crank the midrange detail up quite a bit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is not a case where you hear more things in the midrange they just stand out a bit more and so this is less about quality and more about preference
