It's not everyday that I get to use a $1,999 IEM, and Thieaudio clearly nailed the brief with the Valhalla. I'd say that it is aimed at enthusiasts, but there are plenty of other models that don't cost as much as the Valhalla that still deliver a great sound. Look, if you just want decent-quality IEMs that sound good and are comfortable to wear, there are dozens of great choices in the sub-$100 category.
But what if you want the best? The best design, the best sound quality, and the best drivers available today. This is where Thieaudio is differentiating itself; the brand has been on a roll in the last two years, and IEMs like the Monarch MKIII are a clear favorite thanks to the audio tuning and the design.
