Premium audio cable praised for its quality construction and appearance. Customers said it "feels very premium" with minimal tangling and low microphonics. Many noted sound improvements, particularly in treble and detail. Some concerns about stiffness and the modular jack design being cumbersome when adapters are stacked. Worth the price for most shoppers.
Amazing cable, I paired it with my Blessing 3 and it didn't disappoint. Amazing metal/silver/carbon fiber look, cable isn't stiff and doesn't tangle easily, and when it does it's super easy to undo. It feels very premium and it did improve the sound somewhat on the treble, definitely an upgrade from the horrible stock cable the Blessing 3 gives you.
Got the 3.5mm version and I'm having an amazing time with it, can definitely feel the Thieaudio quality.
THIEAUDIO EST Cable
I didn't know the jacks had to be attached to the stock 2.5 balanced, so when this happens, the plug coming out of the dongle/dac is twice as long and makes it very cumbersome and unattractive. I prefer a screw on interchangeable interface, like many other modular hifi cables. I like the color, but wouldn't buy again
Looks good, very little tangling, low microphonics. Worth the price.
The cable is very high quality, no complaints.. only one thing, it is on stiffer side, otherwise great cable..
Nice cable. Good looking, sounds good but doesn’t really improve the 3.5 mm stock cable performance.
THIEAUDIO EST Cable
This is my favourite cable by far and I own 3 of them. I love the shape of the 2 pin connectors which are nice and slimline without the extra plastc around the pins that recessed IEM's need which make them a good bit shorter :)
Flexible and doesn't tangle easily. Not too heavy and not too light. Cheaper than some of the cables out there too.
It is so good anything i put this cable on sound better in detail staging even bass.
Original Cable for Monarch with 2.5 mm. connector
Great!
I have the Empire Ears Bravado iem. The stock cable that came with my iem's are extremely stiff... to the point of me not wanting to listen to my iem due to the wire being so uncomfortable. These are just amazing quality and can coil up in my little LinSoul tin where I keep my iem. It is just awesome quality and no loss in sound performance whatsoever.
This cable is a must buy if you have IEM's that support 2pin. First off, it is perfectly smooth and feels like royalty. It doesn't kink or bend, it's just a nice straight cable. The texture feels good too. The added adapters make my life easier so I don't have to change out the entire cable when switching amps.

Beautiful. One of the best in my collection, probably the shiniest looking. Feels very nice and slippery. I just wish the jack adapters were a little shorter. Once you stack the adapters on, it just one long heavy jack. Some mechanism like what Dunu is using would be great.
Cable arrived much quicker that was expected. Really excellent EST Thieaudio cable. Thanks and I'm now looking at an IEM from your website. I'm a film director and producer in London UK and look forward to doing more business with you. You guys seem very reliable.

When I ordered a Thieaudio Legacy 5, I noticed there was an option to upgrade the cable to this cable. I gave it a shot not expecting much. Surprisingly, I've fallen in love with this cable. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do especially for how heavy and thick it is. I'd love the option to choose the connection you'd prefer (4.4mm) without the adapters but the adapter system works. I have another on the way in addition to one with a Clairvoyance. Great job Thieaudio!
I bought this cable as a replacement for the standard cable that came with my new Earsonics Purple IEM. It still amazes me when some manufacturers still saddle you with a $15 cable when you drop over $1000 on an IEM. Some people think that cables don't change the sound. I am of the other camp. The Purple is an excellent headphone - but I thought something with some silver would open it up a bit. I didn't want to drop a huge amount of money so I took my time. Then I read a review of the ThieAudio Monarch. TL/DR.. I bought one. Georgeous construction - No microphonics - 2.5mm Balanced - the cable opened up the sound and allows this IEM to sound like the TOTL they advertised. Now to get Linsoul to make an MMCX version. I will buy another for the next 2-Pin IEM I get as this one is permanently attached to the Purple.
will the EST Cable work on the Raptgo Bridge? or is there an alternative, that's modular, recommended?
The THIEAUDIO EST Cable with a 3.5mm connector should work with the Raptgo Bridge, as they have matching specifications. Just ensure you select the correct specification, and they should be compatible.
does the mk2 cable work for the monark mk1?
Hello there，
Thank you for your inquiry.
Their connectors are all 0.78mm 2PIN, so the cables are shared.
Hope it helps!
Have a nice day!
Please can you tell me if the 2 pin connectors on this cable would be compatible with the Moondrop Aria or Starfield. They are recessed socket IEM's though the recess is quite shallow. Thank you.
In addition, apart from the plugs, what else is different on the mk2?
Thank you
The original EST Cable may not be compatible with recessed 2-pin sockets like those found on the Aria or Starfield.
However, the new Thieaudio Smart Cable has a longer 2-pin stem, and can fit recessed connectors.
Is this compatible with the ThieAudio Legacy 3 (Clockwork) with the protruding socket? Without any sheath to protect it, I'm afraid it's gonna bend and break.
Hello,
As the cable is 2-pin and the Thieaudio Legacy 3 pin with protruding socket are also 2-pin, the cable will be compatible. However, like you mentioned, it will not be an exact fit as the connection on the cable is a flat 2-pin, and not extruding.
In our usage case, we have no problem with the connections or the fit, and you should not have to worry about bending or breaking with normal use conditions.
However, if you are concerned about the extra protection, we recommend the Tripowin cables, which are available with the QDC/Recessed 2-pin connections.
