THIEAUDIO Legacy 2

I've used the Legacy 2 for about one month straight now but, when I recently got the Tin HiFi T2+ and the KZ X CRN Zex pro, I wondered why this IEM cost so much.

(Subjective)
PROS:
The bass is punchy, highs aren't peaky (even at high volumes), good imaging for gaming (Rainbow 6 Siege), decent sound stage, good mids, and an overall safe-sounding IEM. It also has great packaging, a good case, great cable, usable stock ear tips, a seemingly universal fit, along a great overall package.

CONS:
Highs lack the "air" and imaging capabilities that the T2+ have, lacks bass extension, is not as great as ZEX Pro in critical listening, and is perfect at being average with no specific traits that scream 100$.

I bought this IEM as a replacement for my ATH MR7, and in that regard, I find the L2 better than the MSR7 in almost everything except the sound stage. I like the looks of the IEM and its performance in-game but, I can't justify the price for casual/critical listening and using it for games that require good positional audio.

Buy this IEM if you want to blow 100$ on something that you could use to listen to anything without expecting great detail, a breathtaking sound stage, or any stand-out features. It's not something I'd recommend when better alternatives at a lower price are present.

I have bought many IEMs in this price range— from Moondrop to Meze— The Thieaudio Legacy 2 is the very best IEM anywhere near this— and I rank it higher than the Legacy 4, because of the new dynamic driver. I think it’s the best value under the $400 dollar mark. These have slam, great imaging, comfort, and a great cable. This is the one to buy.

Got this from winning giveaway from directors garage of Michael De Lazzer youtube channel.

And yes i love love love the sub bass that are not lacking for my taste, mids are presented good for all around and presented laid back & treble is decent far from sibilant, the amazing point of these legacy 2 is it separation, for under $100 they surprised me. wideness is good and still inside my head feels, unlike the $1k that can make 3D surrounding outside my head feels. i used to use & still use some iems around under $300 like sony XB75AP, sony XBA-2, bose soundtrue ultra & jvc ha-fx850 and well i can't say they are average in terms of sound quality but compared to legacy2 for me (whom love subbass) has surpassed them for all around genre, but for my taste this iem is shine more with any sub bass / electronics genre.

The design is quite small remembering just using 2 drivers, and they have wings design that kinda grip in ears, faceplate design is beautiful, the blue remaind me the ocean & create calm feelings.

From the cable i love them, no microphonics, tangle hassle free, feels nice just love the cable, i even choose this cable with ease from audio 46 iems that came from their box.

No wonder this legacy2 won the shoot-out agains the two moondrops aria & starfields for mr. michael taste.

Thank You for linsoul who has sponsored directors garage channel, me & my hubby never miss an episode of them.

THIEAUDIO LEGACY 2! BETTER THAN THE STARFIELD'S?

These IEMs are quite simply the best budget in-ear on the market today. The beryllium dynamic driver digs deep into the sub-bass while providing tremendous speed and detail. There are headphones at the $1000 dollar level that produce worse bass than the Legacy 2. These are the real deal.

More drivers does not necessarily mean a better headphone. Fewer drivers allow for better imaging, alignment, and fewer timing issues. Thieaudio has capitalized on this advantage and minimized the downside by using quality materials and drivers.

The Legacy 2 isn't a perfect headphone, if one exists at all. The treble can run a bit harsh here and there, depending on the source and song. But you will be hard-pressed to find anything better at or around this price point. This is a solid audiophile experience. Thieaudio and Linsoul have given us the best Legacy yet.

Desde el Legacy 3 hasta Legacy 5, Thieaudio ha demostrado su fortaleza con una excelente calidad analítica y afinación. Esta vez, ¿el lanzamiento de Legacy 2 puede volver a sorprendernos en el terreno del precio económico? Vamos a averiguar.

Legacy 2 usa una configuración 1DD + 1Ba. Desde el punto de vista de la apariencia, la cavidad del legacy 2 es mucho más pequeña que los productos de unidades múltiples, y el peso es más liviano que las generaciones anteriores. Se adopta el esquema del color azul mediterráneo y se utilizan paneles dibujados a mano. Cada pieza es única. Los elementos de diseño generales dan una sensación más joven y fresca.
Los auriculares están distribuidos aleatoriamente con 4 hebras de cable plateado OCC, las piezas del hardware son excelentes en mano de obra, el cuerpo del cable es suave y no es fácil de anudar. Es un cable con un excelente material y rendimiento de sonido en este rango de precios. Para los usuarios promedio, no hay necesidad de actualizar.

En términos de rendimiento de sonido, En primer lugar, el uso de Knowles BA Driver y un Beryllium Dynamic Driver como legacy 2 no requiere un gran empuje y es más fácil introducir una presión de sonido satisfactoria. Incluso si se usa un teléfono móvil, puede proporcionar un sonido relativamente bueno. Por supuesto, al cambiar la interfaz a un reproductor de música profesional, la mejora es relativamente obvia.

Como producto de nueva generación de Thieaudio, aunque el posicionamiento es de nivel de entrada, también podemos sentir la afinación cada vez más madura de Thieaudio. Legacy ha realizado un ajuste relativamente equilibrado de afinación y calidad. Mientras mantiene el análisis general de alta calidad, Legacy 2 puede crear un sonido musical extremadamente cálido y relajante. Especialmente para algunas de las grabaciones musicales modernas, legacy ha funcionado bastante bien.

En términos de baja frecuencia, legacy 2 tiene la cantidad adecuada de volumen y es muy rápido. La parte de baja frecuencia del análisis también es más clara y puede brindar una atmósfera muy esponjosa, cómoda y suave. Hablano alta frecuencia, la sensación general de legacy2 es ligeramente moderada, suave y de baja saturación. Al tiempo que garantiza la calidad analítica requerida, tiene una perfecta sensación de frizz.

En términos de frecuencia media, la afinación del legacy 2 es relativamente neutra y no reduce deliberadamente el grosor del rango medio para crear un campo de sonido amplio. Aunque todavía hay una cierta brecha con la afinación de voz de Legacy 5, Legacy 2 puede satisfacer a algunas personas la necesidad de brillo de sonido, pero no enfatiza demasiado el rendimiento de la textura de la voz humana, no tendrá ningún sentimiento estimulante, la posición de la voz humana es moderada y puede ser competente para la demostración de muchos tipos de música.

El campo de sonido no es demasiado grande y toda la forma está cerca de un campo de sonido circular, que se considera excelente entre los productos al mismo precio. Las grabaciones modernas como la música pop y la música electrónica tendrán mejores resultados. Durante la prueba, descubrí que al usar Cayin N3Pro con legacy2, se puede tener un rendimiento de sonido muy cómodo y sin cansarse después de escucharlo durante mucho tiempo.

Como nuevo producto básico de Thieaudio, legacy2 es liviano, compacto, cómodo de usar y tiene una apariencia refrescante. No requiere altos requisitos de interfaz. Es una tendencia de tuning popular. No te cansaras de escucharlo durante mucho tiempo. El precio es razonable. Los amigos que quieran probar estos productos de audio pueden empezar con este legacy 2.

These sound a lot like Oracle(not L3 or L4), from recollection. There is more sub-bass emphasis than the rest of the bass(unbalanced bass), so things sound thin toward the mids, just like on the Oracle. I wish there was more warmth/body there. Mids sound fantastic(better than FH3, even, I think); very spacious, fast, detailed and smooth like they should from a great BA, which is exactly how they do sound(but not quite as good as KZ AST, I feel). The problem with Legacy 2 is somewhere in the upper treble, you will hear things start to fall apart and become 'crunchy'/bright/distorted with any kind of bright sounds common in rock or electronic, which is midly fatiguing and irritating, though certainly not the worst treble I've heard. I think this 1DD+1BA is a failed design, when another BA could=should have simply been added to resolve this upper treble problem. Still, they look great, fit great(not as good as L3 for me), and do sound great except for that crunchy treble issue. If they add another BA to fix the treble, this will be a killer good IEM. The decision to only use 1 BA is very strange to me.

I've been using the THIEAUDIO Legacy 2 for the past two months and I'm genuinely impressed with their performance, especially considering the price. The sound signature is well-balanced with a slightly warm tilt, making them enjoyable for a wide range of genres. The bass is punchy and controlled, the mids are clear and detailed, and the treble is smooth without being harsh.
Comfort is also excellent, I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The build quality feels solid and the included cable is decent.
For anyone looking for a high-performing IEM on a budget, the Legacy 2 is a fantastic choice. They punch well above their weight and offer a truly enjoyable listening experience.

Had then for about 2 months. So far so good. Replaced the cable, it's nice but a bit too heavy for my taste. Sound is neutral with a bass bump. Comfort great for my ears. Hope it helps.

I ordered these and blon -08 at the same time-ish . They sound good out of the box. I like the sound. It’s more of a forward and fast sound; to my ears. I also have the legacy 3, which is my go to pair to grab. The legacy 2 are great, but for a little more money you could get the legacy 3, which from personal listings, I find to be more open and fun to listen too. Also the legacy 3 seem easier to drive and are loud and clear no matter what they are connected too phone/ portable Dac/Amp combo. Overall if you want a good pair of in ear headphones the legacy 2 and 3 are amazing , light weight, and pleasing sound.

Purchased a few months after KZDQ6 ( both recommended by BGGR ).

Excellent bass and slam.

Initially I was slightly disappointed as these were over 3 times the price.

Vocals slightly recessed and sound stage not as open compared with the KZDQ6.

However imaging is a little better.

Not as “airy”, darker but less fatiguing for longer listening sessions.

Beautiful build, feel and finish ( better than KZ whose face-plate came off after a month ).

Very light and very comfortable ( stock silicone tips and cable).

Ultimately better than KZDQ6 but can't quite decide if they are worth the price.

The Legacy 2 has good bass, recessed middle and thin treble. A dark very basic monitor.
