Thieaudio Valhalla – 19 drivers are not the limit
03.01.2025 09:50 | ~1 minute read
Thieaudio has introduced the new Valhalla in-ear headphones with 19 drivers per ear – according to the developers, the development of the model took more than two years.
The Thieaudio Valhalla in-ear headphones use carefully selected components from market leaders Knowles and Sonion. Each earphone is equipped with four Sonion 38D1XJ007 woofers, ten Sonion E50DT0005 low-frequency drivers, four Knowles RDE 33729 mid/high frequencies and one Knowles WBFK 30095 ultra-high frequency driver.
The Thieaudio Valhalla headphones feature the PBS (Precision Bass System, which combines several low-frequency drivers into a specially designed resonance chamber), providing a sense of the presence of a subwoofer, reproducing notes from 5 Hz.
A four-way passive crossover combined with a system of acoustic tubes provides precise frequency distribution and a smooth response across the entire operating range. Unlike typical 1st order crossovers, Thieaudio Valhalla uses multiple 2nd order filters to ensure high accuracy.
The Valhalla headphones come with Thieaudio's flagship EliteNoir cable, which is a combination of silver-plated LCOFC 5N and 4N wires with Smoke Black-Blue soft PVC insulation. The construction includes 161 individual wires, 20AWG specification and Mundorf Supreme soldering, ensuring lossless signal transmission. Thieaudio Valhalla in-ear headphones are available now for a suggested retail price of $1,999.
