Linsoul Thieaudio Ghost Custom 40mm Dynamic Driver Over-Ear Headphones Open-Back Reference Tuning with Detachable Cable for Audiophile Studio Musician

Product Information

I sort of have mixed feelings in general about the build, some things I think are very well done while others seem to have not had as much effort put into them.

ThieAudio has a soft spot in my heart given it was the brand that kick-started my frequency response measurements for earphones and headphones nearly two years ago. I do like the simpler geometric patterns employed here and the gold accent around the grill adds some bling in a subtle manner to help break up the monotony otherwise. The overall tonality of the Ghost could be classified as a mildly warm with not a lot of anything else. What I am referring to is your kind-of more entertained by the midrange and start to find emphasis there which makes-up for any smoothness in the treble. Besides the impressive high-resolution audio it presents, the Athena’s texture and design are also a sight to behold.Please arrange the pick-up of the parcel within 5 working days, otherwise, this RMA process will be canceled.

Would recommend to someone looking to get into the hobby or just want simple desktop listening solution. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). There some darkness in treble too, that tame treble texture brightness and grain, so it's a bit organic timbre wise, but this help to preserve and even boost sens of transparency. The treble doesn’t seem to have any issues with extension either, there is no noticeable early roll off.

This lends an incredible versatility for the GHOST, which presents a professional natural tuning, with the option to occasionally provide a fun and bass-heavy ride.
