ThieAudio Hype 4 - Giving the SoftEars Studio4 Some Competition - Honest Audiophile Impressions

A BIG thank you to Linsoul Audio for providing the ThieAudio Hype 4 for review, much appreciated.

The Hype 4 is is touted by ThieAudio as "the perfect studio setup in your ears". How does it compare to the SoftEars Studio4 that I use as my reference stage monitor at the $400 price range?

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.

Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
