There are moments in your life when reality hits you so hard you fall out of your chair. For the last couple of days I taken a break from the single greatest sound experience in my life to play around in the world of Bluetooth. And then I was reminded in such a short time how basic and childish the world of Bluetooth earphones are. They fight over crumbs left behind by the true pillars of sound… IEMs. I have or had them all. From Noble, bang and olufsen, bowers and Wilkins, Technics, Denons, Sony, Sennheiser, Bose, and even Devialet. All them, for Bluetooth can easily make their footprint in the sand about sound for Bluetooth. But the Endless of Dream, aka Sandman has a completely different world that completely destroys Bluetooth worlds apart.
Everything from the DAP player to the wired connection if the IEM, are all designed for one thing over all other things in tech, sound. The IEMs don’t take phones calls, they don’t need ANC to seal and make things quite, they don’t need apps or even EQs. In fact they don’t even need to be charged because they have no battery. And the sound my Thieaudio Valhalla create is beyond imagination in anything I’ve experience in my whole life on any tech product, period. Whatever you can come up with, still won’t justify what these things do in sound. A massive 19 driver per side set that takes you to worlds.
So when I think about all the fighting over which is the best in Bluetooth, once it really settles in your mind, you realize how stupid the fighting is. There isn’t a single thing in existence that any bluetooth device with a phone could do vs the Vahalla and my Cayin player. There is no world they even compares. And it should be like this, as these IEMs themselves cost $2000 and the player cost $1299. This is not something you decide to buy because you got bored one day. This is life changing decisions here. This is life changing direction switching here to go in to the world of Audiophiles. But I promise nothing can truly prepare you for it once you decide. The sound from Thieaudio product and of course their best IEM, the Valhalla, will forever change your entire world. Even as I sit here today, I would have paid more for my Thieaudio Valhalla now after hearing what it can do since I’ve had it and my Cayin N6III.
I realized I’m blessed and nothing I have is truly mine anyway. So I’m not saying this as a brag but more a education. Instead and fighting over which Bluetooth device in our little world is the best, we should just enjoy them for what they are and stop trying to make them them the end all, of all things because in reality, they are all a joke compared to things like the Thieaudio Valhalla and other IEM’s. So what are we fighting about here? Who gets to be last place? It’s stupid and we look foolish doing it in front of Audiophiles that have things like this.
