Linsoul Thieaudio Ghost Custom 40mm Dynamic Driver Over-Ear Headphones Open-Back Reference Tuning with Detachable Cable for Audiophile Studio Musician

Product Information

My suggestion to most people when they are seeking reviews is to find things they have heard that the specific reviewer has reviewed, that way you can get a feeling for how that particular reviewer hears things. The Athena is not only our most tonally accomplished headphone, but stands as an accurate and precise tuning standard for future headphones to come in the market.

The zipper tag is on the more substantial side even if it's made of plastic and I appreciate the self-sealing zippers that add dust and spill resistance on top. The result is a more cohesive and high resolution audio performance, marked by exquisite diaphragm responsiveness and fast transients. I have included the HD6XX as a reference on the graph as I don’t have a database of headphone measurements like I do IEM measurements, so it’s not easy to compare between many other models (hopefully I can catch up on headphone measurements and get to presenting them in a squig. Of particular note is the fact that the GHOST 's tuning has been calibrated to match the acoustics of the human ear's pinna and pinna.Monarch MKIII takes everything you loved about MKII, improves the bass and soundstage, upgrades the cable, and adds gorgeous new faceplate options. Now while I’m not a total expert on all the 2022-2023 (full-size) headphone examples, I have been doing headphone back-to-backs since 1975 using both Koss and Sennheiser full-size headphones to battle it out. Yet, even if spatiality is more compressed, the imaging is superior with the Hifiman, positioning is more accurate and definition of instrument in mid range being more edgy we struggle less to pinpoint the instrument even if space between them is less wide both in layering and horizontal separation.

Product specs and more branding are seen on the sides of this outer sleeve which can be slid out to reveal a plastic 2-piece thick cardboard box inside. I do like the simpler geometric patterns employed here and the gold accent around the grill adds some bling in a subtle manner to help break up the monotony otherwise. I find the look very elegant, the metal band that hold headphones cup too have carved design that is appealing.

All and all the Thieaudio Ghost far surpassed such inquiries and Thieaudio went the extra mile with both correct design features and implementation of those design features into reality. Taken and made of the best materials, there might be many people enjoying the same model but no one else will own your same set. To tell you the truth I was going to attempt using the Ghost with a number of my devices trying to find synergy. Then they bickered with me for so long about the refund that I just had the credit card company refund me instead.

ThieAudio has been part of this journey too, with the V16 Divinity and Elixir being two of my preferred IEMs ever tested.The ThieAudio Ghost are a lightweight headphone with a soft cable, this does go a long way in creating a comfortable headphone. I highly suggest getting a balanced cable for these if you have balanced dongle or DAP since they scale up with power and audio source quality.

These are not a headphone that instantly wow, there is nothing overly boosted within their frequency range, instead they offer a mildy u-shaped sound signature with a hint of warmth overall. This almost sounds negative, but in all fairness, it fits very well with the overall sound signature, the midrange is clean and well separated with great detail retrieval. ThieAudio clearly agreed on its IEM tuning prowess not yet being replicated with headphones and promised improvement with its latest venture into the over-ear headphones space. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Well really this style of tune, this slightly laid-back subtle V-shape tune is all the rage in the IEM world, and such a well-rounded effortlessly accessible tune seems to also provide just what it takes to tune a full-size headphone.

They are not a bass heavy set of headphones, they are not a mid centric set of headphones, they aren’t a set of extremely detailed and clear headphones, they are just constant, as the graph shows. Does it creak, and is it a device that I can see myself plugging and unplugging the cables with daily.
