Crafted for the Ultimate Audio Experience, THIEAUDIO Origin Combines Innovation and Precision Engineering.

At THIEAUDIO, we are driven by a relentless passion for perfecting sound. The Origin is a testament to this pursuit, combining a novel quadbrid driver configuration with refined tuning to deliver a truly immersive audio experience. Designed for bass enthusiasts yet balanced for accurate mids and natural treble, each unit is meticulously handcrafted using premium materials and cutting-edge technology. From genuine European and American drivers to a custom EliteNoir cable, every detail of the Origin is engineered to reveal the full potential of your music, offering an unparalleled listening experience.

Four Driver Types, 8 Drivers per Side

The THIEAUDIO Origin is designed around a novel quadbrid driver configuration, featuring four separate types of drivers and a total of 8 drivers per each side. The diverse array of driver technologies delivers completely unique textures to rediscover your music.

Big-Bass, With a Refined Tuning

The THIEAUDIO Origin was designed for the bass lovers. With one of THIEAUDIO’s most engaging bass signatures so far, the Origin boasts a 12dB sub-bass shelf cut precisely at 250Hz. However, staying true with THIEAUDIO’s mission, the tuning has been refined with THIEAUDIO’s signature balanced tuning. The midrange is neutral as to deliver accurate and studio-quality tonality to instruments and vocals. The treble perfectly matches the human in–ear’s perceived frequency hearing, with a natural decay into the upper treble. The Origin is THIEAUDIO’s interpretation of the perfect bass-heavy, yet balanced, tonal signature.

Genuine Drivers for a Genuine Sound

The Origin is composed of genuine drivers imported from European Sonion and American Knowles manufacturers. A dual Sonion electrostatic (EST) super tweeters power the ultra-treble frequencies for airy treble extensions. A Knowles TWFK dual tweeter has been re-engineered to deliver upper and lower treble frequencies, respectively, providing better coherency and smoother treble. Two Sonion 2600 series full-range drivers have been paired to focus on low-mids and the midrange. An in-house 10mm bio–cellulose diaphragm dynamic driver (DD) powers the sub-bass, while a new in-house bone-conductor (BC) driver provides tactile textural enhancements to the mids and trebles.  

Powerful Bone Conductor Driver

The Origin utilizes a large 11mm true BC driver. Tuned to target the midrange and treble, the BC driver actually enhances the sound signature significantly, which can be clearly heard as well as visually graphed with measuring equipment. Our in-house BC driver can be felt due to its tactile vibrations, which adds a new dimension to your music. Furthermore, the audible quality of the BC driver can be described to add expansive soundstage to the midrange and treble.

Precision Crafted IEM

Each unit of the Origin is precision printed with our state-of-the-art resin printer, hand assembled, and hand finished. We only use European medical-grade resin which is durable and safe for biomedical applications. Every Origin set is hand paired after QC assessment and assured to be a boutique in-ear monitor.

Custom Upgraded Cable

The THIEAUDIO Origin comes stock with THIEAUDIO’s high quality audio cable. The cable features a detachable 2-pin 0.78mm connector system, which allows the user to mix and match the IEM with different cables. Furthermore, the cable features THIEAUDIO’s modular connector system, which allows users to swap the cable plug between 3.5mm unbalanced, 4.4mm balanced, and 2.5mm balanced connectors for use with any device.

THIEAUDIO EliteNoir Cable

THIEAUDIO EliteNoir Cable features high-grade components including a 7x7x0.08mm Silver Plated Over 5N LCOFC wire and a 16x7x0.06mm Silver Plated Over 4N LCOFC wire, meticulously crafted for optimal sound transmission. The cable’s structure includes 161 wires in a 20AWG configuration, with inner insulation and an outer layer of Smoke Black-Blue Soft PVC sourced from the USA.

picky what amp you choose, very analytic and too clean for my taste

I got these IEM at the same time as the DUNU SA6 MKII and I do prefer the DUNU over the Origin.
The bass is good and it can play the music well, but it sounds very analytical and too clean for me. and it is very picky in what AMP you plug it in. It can be to low or too much, you have to find the right AMP and even than you might have to fiddle around. Separation and Sound stage are very good. They are great for String Instruments and Vocals.
In comparison the DUNU SA6 MKII are happy in what ever AMP you plug it in (of course too much power is never good), but being more on the brighter side (can get too bright at some point) the music is alive with also very good bass. Soundstage could feel a bit crowded, because the separation is less in comparison to the Origin.
I also do not like the cable of the ThieAudio Origin and used immediately the Dunu Hulk pro mini. (which comes with the DUNU SA6 MKII).
Would I buy ThieAudio Origin again? No. but the DUNU SA6 MKII should be part of your collection.
To be fair I also have ThieAudio Prestige LTD, which are really great. Powerful, demonstrate its capabilities and superiority.
I also have thrown the Tangzu Fudu Verse 1 into the mix and those are really great. But you will quick discover some lack of power when going against the DUNU and ThieAudios. Still awesome IEMs.
As DAC/AMPs I used
- xDuoo XD05 Pro with the ROHM DAC, 2x EQ200 Lessfox OpAMPs
- MuseHifi M4 with ESS (9603Q amp, ES9080Q2M)
- AkLIAM PD4 with 2xCS, AkLIAM PD6 ESS (just got the AkLIAM PD5 with AKM, but not tested yet)
- Fostex HPA4BL (balanced version) No idea what the use for DAC and OpAMPs but very good
- Toppingg A 70Pro with the Topping D70 Pro Octo
- TempoTec V6 DAP (AKM)

Bass Lovers IEM

Have always enjoyed the bass lines of music the most, and have always liked IEM’s with this trait. These are fantastic, I have Monarch mk3 and Hype 4s and really like ThieAudio products, but these are special. I have lots of iems and for bass my favourites were Yanyin Cannon and Audio 64 u4s but these are so much better with much better mid range and treble detail. My current favourites
