Description
ThieAudio HYPE 4 MKII redefines what a mid-range hybrid IEM can achieve, delivering exceptional audio engineering and a completely redesigned architecture for superior performance. Built from the ground up, the HYPE 4 MKII introduces upgraded Knowles balanced armature drivers, a Gen 2 IMPACT2 sub-woofer system, and a precise 4-way crossover network, resulting in outstanding clarity, power, and musical realism.
Unmatched Bass Performance With Gen 2 IMPACT2 Sub-woofer
Equipped with two 8mm composite diaphragm dynamic drivers enclosed in ThieAudio’s proprietary pneumatic chamber, the HYPE 4 MKII produces thunderous, ultra-focused sub-bass without affecting midrange accuracy. The IMPACT2 system delivers deep rumble and fast decay, ensuring tight bass separation ideal for modern genres, stage monitoring, and immersive listening.
Upgraded Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers for Superior Detail
Featuring a complete overhaul in driver configuration, the HYPE 4 MKII uses imported American Knowles BA drivers for enhanced tonal accuracy. Dual RAB units deliver rich and textured low-mids, while the ED-33465 driver presents articulate upper mids and natural vocal presence. A Knowles RAD-33518 ultra-tweeter, positioned directly in the nozzle, extends treble air and sparkle with electrostatic-like transparency—perfect for precise imaging and expansive soundstage.
Refined Tuning for a Studio-Neutral Yet Musical Signature
The tuning philosophy strikes a perfect balance between professional reference neutrality and musical enjoyment. With a 9dB sub-bass boost that cleanly rolls off at 150Hz and a warm 400Hz midrange emphasis, the HYPE 4 MKII remains natural, clean, and engaging. Treble features controlled decay for exceptional texture and detail without harshness or fatigue, making long listening sessions effortless.
Premium Build Quality & Hand-Crafted Precision
Constructed from CNC-machined solid aluminum blocks, hand-finished, and anodized for durability, every unit undergoes multiple inspection phases to ensure perfect driver matching and long-term reliability. Internally, a 4-way crossover and 4-tube acoustic system with 7 passive components achieves unmatched coherence and technical performance.
High-End Modular Cable Included
The premium cable uses 7N ultra-OFC copper and silver-litz wiring for maximum signal integrity, paired with a modular plug system supporting 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm unbalanced connectors for maximum source compatibility.

TRUSTED BY OVER 60K+ MUSIC ENTHUSIASTS
Let customers speak for us
Good for:
>Vocal dominated tracks (general bollywood songs)
>Indian classical in vocal. string and wind instruments, acoustic guitars.
> Western classical focused on Piano, violin and cellos (e.g. Ludovico Einaudi, Lang Lang)
Need a little twigs in eq:
> Female vocal may need 2-3 db boost in at around 2k region.
> Old tracks designed for tapes and cassettes generally has treble boosted in default. Hence a 1-2 db pull down in 8k &16k band makes it more enjoyable (e.g track - Nahi samne from movie Taal)
Not good for:
> Heavy rock and metals that demands more throbbing base.
> Heavy electric guitars mainly power chords & overdrive base guitars sounds muddy.
> Lacks wide sound stage required for large and dynamic orchestral pieces. Like cornfield chase by Hans zimmer, Nostalgia by Yanni
> Hip-hop and Electronic tracks lacks the attacks and punchiness
VERDICT:
> Deep and tight base, buttery soft mids and well defined and perfectly rolled out treble that doesn't heart your ears after a while.
>Go for it if you are a bollywood song lover. You can't get anything better, at least at this price brakets.
> Shines well with Sigma-delta dacs but feels bit too warm for r2r Dacs. Although some people can prefer that. But do not use it with a very powerful amp. Personally I felt opamp like MAX97220 is more than enough.
> Base is deep and tight. So do not buy this if you want thumpy base.
> Not a flat responding iem. So do not consider it if you want an analytical piece. > Choose it if you are looking for long listening sessions with deep imotional attachment rather than analytical detailing.
I've been using this IEM for a couple of days now, and compared to the Moondrop CHU II, the treble feels noticeably improved.
Majestic sounding IEMs worth every penny
Good
best dac ever used the sound is incredibly good amazing the black colour is currently on top
Love it! My swimming sessions have become much more enjoyable and consistent. I also love listening to audiobooks and retro songs on these when not in water! Good product for a healthy lifestyle
KZ Duonic ka sound sach me bhut acha hai aur iski overall quality kamal ki hai. planar driver hone ki wajah se clarity next level milti hai. Bass tight hai aur instrument separation bhi bohot clear hai. Isme music suno bohot acha experience hota hai . Highly recommended if you love high-resolution audio!
It just works amazing with all of my audio products
These my first iems using it from last 2 months very nice very balanced sound
A beautiful pair of iems at this price range. Balanced sound, but engaging listening. Also good for monitoring.
Really good DAC and perfect for apple devices as it does not reduce the volume like few other DACs..and very good delivery experience from TAS..👍🏻
Various reviews on the net created a lot of desire and interest to possess this iem.
Hitherto iv been buying audio gear from some other website who did not have this iem in stock.
Thought of buying from Audiostore.
I spoke to Mr Pritam and finalised the deal. Personal interactions do add up to the textual.content you gather from the net. Delivery was exactly as promised.
My first impression of the iem is Spectacular sound reproduction!!!
Songs thatIheardliterallyfelt like being played in front of me.
Bass sufficiently good enough for every listener except bassheads. Of course bassheads would lose considerable amount of ther sonic capabilities.
Soundstage wide and imaging is excellent. Inspite of good bass every instrument is distinctly clear and precise.
Only request for Audiostore is to include other leading brands like Fatfreq, Fiio, Ibasso etc.
My honest review these are best and luxury looking IEMS and I love them and they fit in my ear perfectly for me and I love them
This IEM sound really good for everyday listening. The Bass has a nice punch,Vocals come through clear and the overall sound feels balanced and enjoyable.They’re comfortable to wear for long periods and block out a decent amount of outside noise.Easy to carry around as it’s comes with a pouch and Great for Music,Videos.Definitely worth it for the price, and specifically thanks for audiostore team.❤️❤️.
The bass in these stays present and hits quickly. An easy term to describe the feel is cinematic bass. And it get loud very fast recommend use Low gain with high volume or High gain with Low volume. Prefer your your choice.
After 10 days of use, I feel I made a great upgrade from the 7Hz Elua Ultra. The main differences are that the Elua has laid-back vocals and sub-bass rumbling, while the STA Hi-End surpasses those limitations with good imaging, zero distortion at high volumes, and cinematic punch in the sub-bass.
Here is the detail review with help of claude to differentiate the same batch of IEM just at "ONE POINT"
