Thieaudio Unveils Clairvoyance MKII IEMs With Powerful 9-Driver Setup

Thieaudio launches the Clairvoyance MKII IEMs with a new 2DD, 5BA and 2EST driver setup, refined sound tuning, and premium stainless steel design.

Thieaudio has introduced the Clairvoyance MKII IEMs, a new generation of its popular audiophile in-ear monitors (IEMs). The original Clairvoyance helped establish the brand in the global audio market, and its successor arrives with upgraded drivers, improved sound tuning, and a more refined design.

The new Thieaudio Clairvoyance MKII uses a 2DD + 5BA + 2EST tribrid driver configuration. This combines two dynamic drivers, five balanced armature drivers, and two electrostatic tweeters to handle different parts of the audio range.

For bass, Thieaudio uses its latest IMPACT² dual 8mm isobaric subwoofer system. It is designed to deliver deep and controlled bass. Four Knowles balanced armature drivers handle the midrange, aiming to keep vocals and instruments clear and natural.

Another Knowles driver works on the mid-treble range, while the two Sonion electrostatic tweeters extend the high frequencies up to 40 kHz.

Refined Sound and Premium Stainless Steel Build

Thieaudio has also worked on the sound signature to make the Clairvoyance MKII IEMs enjoyable for everyday music listening. Its tuning includes a 9dB sub-bass boost for stronger bass, while the midrange is designed to maintain a natural balance between warmth and clarity.

The company has also adjusted the treble response to deliver more detail and air without making the sound overly sharp. According to Thieaudio, the IEMs are designed to offer an engaging listening experience while retaining the technical detail that audiophiles expect.

The design is another important part of the upgrade. Each earpiece uses a solid 316 stainless steel shell made through CNC machining and finished by hand.

Buyers can choose between two faceplate designs. The Guilloché version features detailed diamond-like patterns with a mirror-polished finish. The Studio version takes a simpler approach with a satin stainless steel surface and beveled edges.

The package also includes a custom 6N OCC silver and copper mixed Litz cable. It uses 0.78mm 2-pin connectors and a modular plug system, allowing users to switch between 3.5mm unbalanced and 4.4mm balanced connections.
