Listeners first. From day one.
The Crazy HiFi team founded Linsoul in 2016. The starting point was simple: connect people who love music with audio worth discovering.
A place to explore, ask questions and find something that feels personal.
Connecting passion with remarkable sound.
From a team of HiFi enthusiasts in 2016 to a home for makers, listeners and new ideas. We help remarkable audio find its people.
Independent ideas. A shared love of listening.Since 2016
Why we started
Good sound shouldn't
be hard to find.
Linsoul began with the Crazy HiFi team in 2016, built around the audiophile and music-loving communities.
Our starting point was access: bringing the work of Chinese HiFi makers closer to listeners around the world. The ambition has grown, but the relationship remains the same. People making something worthwhile. People looking for a sound of their own.
Today, our identity has two parts: a curated home for audio brands, and a house of brands we have helped build. We make room for both established names and new perspectives.

The journey
Built one
discovery at a time.
Not just more products.
More ideas finding an audience.
A new voice in personal audio.
THIEAUDIO launched in 2019, growing from a group of DIY enthusiasts into a dedicated audio brand.
That maker-led spirit adds another dimension to Linsoul: a home for brands with their own ideas, not one sound for everyone.

From DIY roots to a Gold-winning flagship.
A maker-led beginning. A growing family of in-ear monitors. A milestone for Monarch MKIV.
Monarch MKIV / VGP 2026 Gold
Read the storyFrom DIY roots to a Gold-winning flagship.
THIEAUDIO began with a group of DIY enthusiasts and launched in 2019. Its story starts with people who wanted to make audio of their own, then developed that curiosity into a dedicated brand.
Monarch MKIV earned Gold in the VGP 2026 awards. It joined Kiwi Ears Septet and Etude, and ZiiGaat Luna and Crescent, in a five-product award lineup spanning three of our brands.
Bringing that work to more listeners is why Linsoul exists. We give each brand room to tell its own engineering story, and listeners the information and opportunities to discover it for themselves.

When a listening perspective becomes a product.
Singolo brought Kiwi Ears and Crinacle together in a collaboration released in 2024.
Singolo / Collaboration released March 2024
Read the storyWhen a listening perspective becomes a product.
Singolo brought Kiwi Ears and Crinacle together around a shared product brief. A reviewer's listening perspective became part of the design conversation, not just a response to the finished product.
Released in March 2024, Singolo used a single-driver design with the Kiwi Acoustic Resonance System. It gave this collaboration a tangible form: a new in-ear monitor for the community to explore.
These partnerships bring different kinds of expertise together. For us, they are a way to keep the conversation between makers and listeners moving, one carefully defined product at a time.

Two names. Recognition that continued.
Luna and Crescent appear in both the VGP 2026 and VGP Lifestyle SUMMER 2026 announcements.
Luna + Crescent / Two award editions
Read the storyTwo names. Recognition that continued.
ZiiGaat Luna and Crescent received awards in both VGP 2026 and VGP Lifestyle SUMMER 2026. Two products, recognized across two separate editions.
The second announcement gave us another reason to put the spotlight on ZiiGaat. Alongside new award recipients from THIEAUDIO and Kiwi Ears, Luna and Crescent continued their own story of recognition.
Supporting a brand means giving listeners more ways to get to know it: clear product information, opportunities to listen and access to independent coverage. The next step is discovering which sound connects with you.
