The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?

Same generation

Hisenior Mega7 (2025) against Thieaudio Origin (2024). These are the same generation of hardware - nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price.

Hisenior Mega7

The Hisenior Mega7 is a wired in-ear monitor with a single 10mm dynamic driver, offering a balanced, neutral-plus sound with a touch of extra bass and crisp, airy highs. It excels at retrieving fine details and delivering a clean, technically polished performance across genres, though its bright upper treble may not suit those sensitive to sharpness. Overall, it's a well-rounded, easy-to-enjoy set that leans toward a composed rather than aggressive character.

  • Pro:Excellent detail retrieval and clarity
  • Pro:Well-balanced tuning with subtle bass emphasis
  • Pro:Airy, extended treble for good sparkle
  • Con:Treble can be bright for sensitive listeners
  • Con:Presentation feels more reserved than lively rivals

Thieaudio Origin

  • Pro:Deep, forceful bass with subwoofer-like impact
  • Pro:Clean and natural midrange despite bass emphasis
  • Pro:Spacious soundstage and engaging presentation
  • Con:Large shell size may cause fit issues
