The Sonion E50 series “Hummingbird” is a dual ultra-tweeter BA driver featuring the best technical specifications from any treble drivers offered by Sonion thus far. With superb ultra-treble extension that rivals EST or Planars, along with lower driver vibration and harmonic distortion at higher outputs, the E50 series is one of the most robust treble drivers tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, Thieaudio has selected the updated Sonion 26A series driver for the mids. Dual stacking of this driver provides excellent output-to-THD ratios for a higher perceived audio resolution, texture and layer in your midrange and treble. The implementation of the 26A series driver provides excellent tonal balance, particularly in the fundamental midrange, as well as lower trebles, with a near-perfect match to Thie's target curvatures. The combination of the 26A with the E50 drivers is one of their most exciting and efficient balanced armature utilizations so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Wood-fabricated mechanical hand holding single Thieaudio Hype 4 blue\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/thieaudio-hype4-blu-ai.jpg?v=1706043003\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntroducing IMPACT²\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IMPACT² (Impact Squared) is Thieaudio's latest technological innovation to change the personalized audio industry. IMPACT² is a new subwoofer solution consisting of two 10mm composite diaphragm drivers arranged in an isobaric design. The addition of another 10mm subwoofer significantly enhances the power and texture of the bass, while the in-house isobaric chamber design keeps the frequency and pressure constant. This means better quality bass without sacrificing tonal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic THIEAUDIO Tonal Perfection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the foundation of preceding models, the Hype 4 required a tonal signature that was nothing less than perfect.

With a strong sub-bass presence that cuts off precisely at 200Hz, a ruler-flat midrange, near-perfect pinna curvature at 3kHz, and a mild gradual decay until 20kHz, the Hype 4 is the perfect studio setup. Discerning audiences will appreciate the clean separation from the bass and the mids, allowing sub-bass impacts to be even more precise and the mids to remain neutral as-intended by studio engineers. The treble response reminisces on one of the most legendary IEMs to revolutionize the industry and set a new standard for its price bracket given its humble 6-driver configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/thieaudio-hype4-graph.jpg?v=1706026864\" alt=\"Thieaudio Hype 4 frequency response graph\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntended for the Professionals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hype 4 performs as portable studio monitors and recalls the original purpose of IEMs. From its wide soundstage to excellent stereo imaging and layering capabilities, the Hype 4 provides technical discernment that rivals even the best of studio monitors and monitoring headphones. The sub-bass boosted neutral tuning signature is meant to deliver the exact tonality on which the music was originally mixed. The Hype 4 focuses on one thing: being as accurate and precise as it can. So for musicians, studio engineers, and audiophiles who want the real deal, the Hype 4 is the IEM for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thieaudio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":40274897928267,"sku":"TA-HYPE4-BLK","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":40274897961035,"sku":"TA-HYPE4-WHT","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":40274956157003,"sku":"TA-HYPE4-BLU","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black - Open Box","offer_id":41829180047435,"sku":"TA-HYPE4-BLK-OB","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White - Open Box","offer_id":41829190402123,"sku":"TA-HYPE4-WHT-OB","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue - Open Box","offer_id":42250837917771,"sku":"TA-HYPE4-BLU-OB","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/thieaudio-hype4-blk-0-thumb.jpg?v=1706026433","url":"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/thieaudio-hype-4","provider":"Bloom Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
