Feeling stuck with low-tech IEMs?

The Prestige LTD accomplishes a few things in its small package:

(4) Sonion electrostatic drivers, (2) Knowles mid-treble balanced armatures, (2) Sonion low-mid balanced armatures, and (1) 10mm dynamic subwoofer are used per side - allowing the Prestige to output the entire range of frequencies in your music.

2) 3 Driver Types

By employing 3 separate driver types in this model, THIEAUDIO has chosen the right driver for each frequency range - using each driver to its full potential.

3) 5-Way Crossover

The integrated 5-way crossover tuning strategy provides enhanced layering and texture across the whole frequency spectrum.

With THIEAUDIO's modular cable technology, you're able to swap the termination ends with ease.

The Prestige LTD IEMs are perfect for sensitive ears.

The Prestige debuted as one of the best utilizations of Electrostatic Driver Technology in an IEM - but there was an issue.

According to listener reviews, the original Prestige was uncomfortable and straining for some listeners due to extension in the ultra-high treble.

As a result, THIEAUDIO has repaired this problem with the Prestige LTD by modifying the tuning - smoothing out the extension of the treble at 12kHz and 15kHz.

THIEAUDIO Prestige LTD Frequency Response

Besides smoothing the ultra-high treble of the original Prestige, THIEAUDIO has also crafted a surprisingly clean tuning with the Prestige LTD - with a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz.

The bass shelf has been tightened to 200Hz.

Sub-bass impact is more focused and faster.

THIEAUDIO's classic flat mids remain.

Upper mids and treble have been cleaned up for a more natural curvature.

What does this mean? You'll be able to feel the sub-bass more clearly, enjoy textured mids, and be able to hear every detail in the treble.

THIEAUDIO Prestige LTD vs Monarch MK3

We get it! It can be hard to choose between some of THIEAUDIO's high-end contenders. Overall, the Monarch MKIII should be your pick if you're into EDM or bass-heavy music, while the LTD should be your pick if you enjoy more natural, acoustic tunes.

Benefits of the Monarch MKIII over Prestige LTD:

-Deeper, more impactful bass

-More energetic and unique sound

-Cleaner midrange

-More expansive treble

Benefits of the Prestige LTD over the Monarch MKIII:

-Impactful, but tamed bass and sub-bass

-More controlled sound signature overall

-More refined treble

-Smoother upper midrange tuning
