Just seeing this review now and damn! You ranked it above the Monarch MK3. I am so tempted to try this IEM out but dont know if its worth the upgrade over my MMK3. Great review!
Fantastic review. Ill have to check these out. The Aful Performer 5+2 (P7) is a new iem that's said to have an interesting take on sound stage and separation with its' planar driver. I heard some reviews saying they could hear sounds over their head? Hopefully they send one your way.
Good review, one iem you could also check out aswell is the Artti t10. Many say its the same driver as the Letshouer S12, just for 50$ rather than 100+. Cheap shell but good driver. Could be very intresting in the budget category
Is this true? I haven’t tried any iems should i blind buy this over the kefine . Also was thinking about purchasing kefine Klean. Do you think thats any good
As an owner of both FA19 and Origin, I personally think the Origin is much better for listening to the music than the FA19. Because its treble sounds never sharp and the vocal sounds richer. But I also love plugging the FA19 into the dual sense controller and playing games. Because it has more comfortable fit to my ear canal and the audio separation is better than Origin. I would like to try to use my new Fiio UTWS5 to turn one of them into a daily TWS IEM when I receive it. Your review from a gamer perspective of an audiophile product is very helpful and so far I find your ranking is the best.❤❤❤
You don’t find the controller lacking in power compared to a dac? Controller always has really quiet volume for most headphones and iems. I do find separation is really good from controller but it lacks power
@@tanjacky5780just got the FA19 and will try it with PS5 controller. I use the Qudelix 5k to my PS5 USB. Reason is aretes had intermittent hiss and I can EQ it. I returned the aretes and I returned the tea pro. The pros did not sound good to me. Enemy’s would come up to me and I had no cues. The aretes at least was good on that but it lacked the several sound details. Curious about this IEM but the FA19s are already underway
idk but just got my teas today from linsoul and I can tell u they blow the kiwi orchestra lites out of the water. The teas are great - bass is good, and detail is great. Very solid set for under 400 bucks.
@@AnthonyRidesAerohey man, Are they good for gaming? Or is it mainly for music? Becuase its gaming Im temped to Get them for, or should i go for a headset?
@@mr.circus1648 Think amazing for music and good for cod. Cod itself has dogshit audio even b06 but im happy with them I can hear footsteps and directional audio well.
I listened to a lot of IEMs at Canjam Dallas. My favorites for price were Ziigaat Doscinco, Mangird Tea Pro, Fatfreq deuce, and also liked the Thieaudio Origin, but it wasn't worth the extra price for me. I decided to just order the Doscinco. The other highlight was Campfire Astrolith, but that was $2200.
Just got these a few days ago, thanks for your review. The soundstage is huge. Very interesting presentation, I’m still digesting it… something about it feels odd in game. It feels like stretch resolution looks. Divinus tips, clarion, etc all gave me discomfort after 4ish hrs. Dunu s&s worked best for me.
@@chucktownbuilder180 yea I get a little discomfort around 6 hours. Not enough to say I need to switch IEMs or stop but definitely a feeling that I wish didn’t exist of course haha
These are amazing but are brutal for myself and a few others I've talked to in terms of comfort. I used these and the tea pros side by side and prefer the tea pros for everyday listening
Excellent review and I feel your enthusiasm. I’m interested as the tuning seems perfect for me. Are these as easy to drive as the Ziigaats Arete/Doscincos/Estrellas? That could be the only thing holding me back. I love the Estrellas for gaming, the tuning shines just hooked up to a controller. I imagine these are the next level. btw I rec the Arete for those that want a warm/neutral solid mid fi set
@FreshReviewsYT i was looking at this set but i had my mind focused on music. If it's that good i may sell tea pro and get that instead. I play cod mainly. Did u rate b+ to a- for cod? I wasnt sure from the vid
Man I want these so bad and the 11.11 pricing isn't terrible but the nozzle width is the one thing making me second guess. I believe it's the same as the Truthear Zero and that would give me some discomfort after 2-3 hours. Was just going to stick to Tea Pros for the sale but this and other reviews are convincing me to do the Origin.
Update: I got them and no real discomfort. They are still thicc af and I have to really work to get them in properly but I don't feel like it's stretching my ear canals like the Zero. Dunu s+s and tanzu sancai tips working best for me so far.
When you class a IEM "A" is that A to its category (mid, high end, etc), or A overall? I've made all my IEM purchases based off your reviews and currently run your Aretes. You've never steered me wrong, loved every purchase so far.
A overall to my knowledge. Doesn't really make sense to mix the price and performance like that. Just get whatever is the cheapest in a certain tier and you're getting good value for the performance.
hey fresh, im really looking into the mangird tea pro. i looked at the tierlist you made, and it made me consider it more. but are they good for gaming? Like better than a headset for the same price? Like the azull maxwell?
I have the Anvil which need Tangzu wide bore tips. Great holographic sound stage, deep bass but only $200 vs $850 for Origin. Would love to hear the Origin but want someone to put both together in review first
Hello fresh. im quite new to the IEMs overall, but find it quite intresting. Im looking to buy one for gaming (with music in the backround). im around the 300 dollar benchmark. im looking at the xeens tea Pro and the ZiiGaat x Fresh. do you have recomendations? and are these just as good as headphones for the same price? much love ❤❤
@@FreshReviewsYT And what does that imply😅😅 i dont really understand. its focused for gaming of that can help make it understandeble for me :) im also looking into the moondrop blessing 3. since i heard is good for gaming
Hello fresh, i didnt understand what you ment with the open clear felling and a bit of warmth, im also looking at the moondrop blessing 3, would that be better than the xeens tea Pro and the ZiiGaat x Fresh. or is one supperior for purley gaming?
I'm very interested in this IEM and the Prestige LTD. Would you mind providing a comparison? A couple of other reviewers seem to indicate the Prestige LTD does better with detail; is this accurate?
@@me-kl9tg going off memory they may be right in the high end but I didn’t find the prestige Ltd to work well for me in game. Low end detail and mids to me sound better to me on the origin (again going off memory haven’t used the prestige in a long time!)
I used to have PLTD, from my memory the PLTD has a little bit better separation and bigger soundstage than Origin. So it has better detail retrieval. But on the other hand, I find the Origin has deeper and richer bass and vocal. The Origin does better on the note weight or it is more “musical”. I would say you can probably turn PLTD into an Origin by tuning EQ but you won’t be able to do the opposite way.
@FreshReviewsYT I picked out the Tripowin Vivace, QKZ HBB, Kinera Celest, and 7hz Zero 2. Which of these would you recommend? I've also seen people say that regular apple earbuds are good for gaming but I'm not sure.
Sorry for bothering, I play in PlayStation so I cant tune my iems, so what do you recommend no matter the price the super mix 4 or delci AE. Most reviews says (SM4) that’s the sound unnatural, and treble can be annoying. I don’t care about the price.
What piece of gear do we use to plug your iems into so you can hear yourself when you talk? I don’t like the ear plug feeling when I talk. Or do we just get used to it?
I have Intuaura Splendor 2 as u recommend before, but seems like already out of your choice, among the Xenns Top, Tea Pro, Yanyin Canon 2 & Areta, would u recommend which one u prefer for Warzone?
Going off memory I believe them to have performed better. I wish I did an an and b comparison. But, off memory origin and definitely origin for music (my taste)
I have a request for review kz iems. Especially : kz castor, kz castor pro, kz saga, kz zs10 pro, kz pr3. These iems have different sound signature compared to past kz iems. My opinion for thieaudio origin: I rather buy set of amp ,dac, speakers for 1000usd first. 😊
