ThieAudio has transformed from a humble collective of DIY enthusiasts to a globally renowned brand in the field of in-ear monitors (IEMs), achieving this status by prioritizing uncompromising audio quality and affordability. Their commitment to being the “Robin Hood” of the audio industry, offering top-tier audio solutions at accessible prices, has made them a beloved name among audiophile communities worldwide. Since its inception in 2019, THIEAUDIO’s IEMs have not only set new standards but have also influenced the approach of earphone manufacturers globally. Their dedicated, multinational engineering team from China and South Korea continues to uphold this legacy by crafting innovative and budget-friendly audio solutions that consistently impress.

Presenting IMPACT², THIEAUDIO’s cutting-edge technological breakthrough set to revolutionize the personalized audio industry. IMPACT² represents a fresh subwoofer solution comprising two 10mm composite diaphragm drivers arranged in an isobaric configuration. The additional 10mm subwoofer substantially elevates bass power and texture, while our in-house isobaric chamber design ensures consistent frequency and pressure levels. This translates to an enhanced bass quality that delivers superior performance without compromising tonal accuracy.

The Hype 2 features the latest iterations of Sonion drivers, namely the 2356 and E25ST, which have already gained widespread recognition and are commonly used by leading brands in the IEM industry. For the Hype 2, we have carefully chosen the latest generation of these drivers, namely the P2356HF/4 and E25ST001/D, following extensive testing involving various driver types. The upgraded P2356HF/4 driver boasts significantly improved output along with reduced total harmonic distortion (THD), resulting in higher resolution and clarity when compared to similar balanced armature (BA) drivers in its category. In a similar vein, the E25ST001/D super tweeter excels in delivering excellent tonal quality while effectively extending treble frequencies up to 18kHz, making it audible. This super tweeter exhibits exceptional upper treble performance reminiscent of electrostatic (EST) drivers, yet with a smoother and more coherent tonal delivery.

ThieAudio Hype 2 housing is constructed from 3D-printed medical-grade resin shells, which is safe on the skin and durable. Each faceplate of the Hype 2 is individually decorated and coated, presenting a truly bespoke experience.

In line with THIEAUDIO’s dedication to achieving a harmonious tonal profile, the Hype 2 features a timeless and highly regarded studio-monitor-like sound signature. It boasts a robust and impactful bass, courtesy of the IMPACT² technology, while maintaining precise control with a firm 200Hz bass shelf. Consequently, the midrange remains flat and impartial, faithfully mirroring the sound of studio monitors preferred by professional audio engineers. The treble is thoughtfully restrained across its entire spectrum, avoiding sharp peaks while also refraining from any significant dips, striking a delicate balance between revealing intricate details and ensuring an enjoyable listening experience. This overall tonal character will resonate with long-time THIEAUDIO enthusiasts familiar with their premium series, while newcomers will be introduced to the authentic essence of an in-ear monitor.

ThieAudio Hype 2 comes with high quality 5N, 26 AWG OCC Silver plated detachable cable. It adopts 0.78mm 2Pin connector and 3.5mm termination plug.
