THIEAUDIO
Thieaudio was launched in 2019 as a creative endeavor of Linsoul Audio. The goal of Thieaudio was to serve as a creative platform for gathering the best teams of engineers to inspire revolutionary audio products for audiophiles and professionals alike. For each project, we hand select the most innovative and renown engineers in his or her field to oversee the design, engineering, and manufacturing of the products. Gathering the momentum from the success of the Thieaudio Phantom planar magnetic headphones, as well as the Voyager, Legacy, and Signature series In-Ear Monitors (IEM’s), we are committed to the continual expansion on the limits of high-fidelity audio. We welcome you to join us and experience excellence in musical performance. .
Legacy Series
The Legacy series capitalizes on Thieaudio’s proprietary 10mm Nano-Membrane Dynamic Driver to create a high-performance hybrid in-ear monitor. Geared towards the discerning audiophile and music enthusiast, the Legacy series re-envisions the qualities that make up high-fidelity audio to present a unique combination of enjoyable tuning that also excels in technical performance. With each model of our Legacy Series, we hope to reveal a refreshing new perspective on your daily listening experience, immersing you deeper into the music.
Tuning Features
The tuning of the Legacy 5 follows in the similar footsteps of the latest Signature Series monitors, the Monarch and Clairvoyance. The emphasis was placed on delivering a faithful reproduction of the recorded music while trading the pure analytical tonal characteristics for a more pleasing and musical playback. Hence, the sub-bass and bass had to give a powerful presence, but without coloring the midrange. An in-house high-order lowpass crossover network was utilized to obtain an impactful and textured dynamic driver bass response that makes way for a linear midrange to allow every instrument to be heard as they were meant to be
Unique Drivers Configuration
Two independent genuine Sonion balanced armature drivers allowed the successful reduction of the total harmonic distortion and the presentation of a clean mid-to-high frequency transition. Correspondingly, vocals shine with clarity and a forward presence. Two independent Bellsing drivers were matched to bring about an even upper treble presentation that brings about a shimmer to every instrument. All of this combined with our newly designed 3D-printed shell in a tubeless configuration means that your music is as smooth as it is accurate. .
Custom Upgrade Cable.
Based on the customer’s voice, we have made two options for Legacy 5. Designed with 2 different cables and some replaceable plugs available, the Legacy 5 emphasizes the smooth and warm characteristic of the IEM, bringing to life the detail and texture within the sound. You won’t have to worry about buying any other cable for the Legacy 5
Handcrafted Artistic Shell
For the Legacy 5, we decided to go with a custom hand-painted faceplate. Each Legacy 5 is hand built from medical grade resin, and unique painting textures. The result is an extremely detailed and elegant look, one that is different for every Legacy 5. Each earpiece takes almost an entire day to build, and the outcome is something that no mass produced product can ever achieve.
The Start of a Legacy
The Legacy series takes the most trusted and established knowledge and designs available in the industry, and presents them in a refreshing and refined manner. Focusing on three primary values - musical tuning, high-fidelity sound quality, life-like listening experience - Thieaudio’s new project aims to redefine the true potential of in-ear monitors for both enthusiasts and professional musicians. So we welcome you to step in, and open your ears to a world of audio like nothing before

Customer Reviews
Excellent sound stage and presentation. A little large but still comfortable with the right tips. A relaxed but still very detailed sound with strong/neutral bass/mids and slightly rolled highs. Huge soundscape with excellent instrument placement.
доставка была выполнена в срок. Наушники крупные, следует подумать, прежде чем брать, если ушки маленькие; зато изоляция - просто супер! Насадки выбрал xelastic, комплектные мне не подошли, как и всегда... Пробовал кабель из посеребрёнойо меди - появляется неприятный пик на ВЧ, не то чтобы резал слух, но неприятно, оставил медь. до этого были spring 2 - сравню с ними: эти более ровные, но не мониторные, более детальны (слушая спринги я хотел такой детальности), пространство в них ощущается иначе, но это у каждого своё. Подводя итог: наушники крупные, с проводом играться не имеет смысла, но на мой взгляд прогрев им был нужен, т.к спустя часов ~200 у них оформился бас.

After a quick tip replacement that fit my ears better they blew my mind (using KZ Acoustics foam tips). The isolation became ideal and I can barely hear my surroundings. They're easy to drive but get a lot better if you properly hook them up to an amp. Detail is good, bass is punchy and straight up amazing. They're pretty well balanced and don't cause fatigue. (Mainly using them on a Roland quad-capture audio interface)
BEWARE: if you have very small ears!
I don't have any complaints really. However I will mention that because of their size they won't fit all ears. My SO tried them and couldn't fit them properly because of her small ears. This just made them sound distant and horrible instead.

Great detail, with nice low end. Love the fit.
Ok so I'm sure my problem won't be found in most of the legacy 5 items bit I do have a problem with my 2pin not being able to securely fit in place with left headphone.they did promptly get back to me about it and offered a solution.they said to send it in for repairs and would pay for the shipping.to me it wasn't worth not having a headphone for a few weeks.especially when I have only had them for a few days.besides that problem they sound pretty darn good and look great!it really is a bummer about the 2 pin as it has been a constant problem with this specific company!
Sound great love the imagining and for easy listening . Quite comfortable and light for the size. My only nit pick is I wish the nozzle have more grip or have a notch, My spin fit twin flange 4mm nozzle always loose in my ear when I take the iem off (stock foam nozzle fit fine just personally not a fan of foam tip and the spin fit it come with is too small for my ear) overall still the best IEM I have ever used and I can afford. The upgrade cable also very nice and worthed imo for those who want to use it with balance 2.5 very durable and flexible also quite nice looking as a bonus.
