Listening to the Headphone Classics playlist on Tidal, I was pleased with the separation I picked up through these IEMs. I didn’t expect such depth from a single-driver IEM like this one. Everything I played on the Pro X10 had nice dynamics and was fully fleshed out. They sounded like a little hi-fi system plugged into my ears.

If I had any issues with the Pro X10’s sound, it would be a bit of shoutiness in the upper mids on certain songs, but for me, it wasn’t too distracting, and I truly enjoyed these earphones regardless. They could also use just a touch more warmth, but I’m nitpicking now. Overall, these earphones should make those looking for a balanced, mid-focused sound very happy.

The Oracle series represents ThieAudio’s interpretation of budget tribrid studio monitors, designed to deliver a signature suitable for studio or artist environments with solid technical capabilities at a reasonable price. Since the launch of the MkI and MkII, ThieAudio has introduced several technological innovations with the Hype series that they are excited to implement in the Oracle series. By listening to feedback from both audiophiles and professionals, they seem to have found a middle-ground signature that will keep both parties happy. ThieAudio claims the MkIII retains the original Oracle DNA as a capable studio monitor, with bass elevation restricted to the sub-bass shelf to provide instrument body for drummers and bass guitarists while keeping the mids flat and neutral thie-style. Also, the treble has been modified to be smoother than its Oracle MkII predecessor. They also state that upgrading the 3-way crossover to a more complex 4-way crossover system allowed them to utilize the drivers to reach their maximum potential.
