I've got the Martilo, and consider the Thieaudio Origin a direct upgrade.

The Martilo is my "travel bass" set when I don't want to take $1k of audio hardware with me camping. 😂🏕️

You don't need anything else if you really like the Martilo's. I spent a lot of money on more expensive IEMs just to realize how good Martilo's are.

The moment I want to buy Martilos people start talking about archangel and the moment I want to buy archangel people start telling me MMK4 is miles better than it
r/iemsneutral2
It's also cheaper than the Martilo's. I think it's worth a try, as I don't think I'm going to upgrade from them any time soon.

Penon Archangel has the best bass that I have heard on an IEM and it’s much better than Martilo.
r/iemsneutral4
I personally own the TSMR Armor and often heard it's actually regarded as better than the Martilos, but don't quote me on that.
r/iemsneutral3
I didn't get much soundstage with the Martilo or Archangel, but the Martini is FINALLY the holographic soundstage other people described in so many IEMs

Kiwi Ears HBB Punch, ThieAudio Origin.

I could recommend the Fatfreq Quantum but would need A/B them again to the Martilo in terms of subbass and midbass.
r/iemspositive2
I've actually tried the Scarlet mini. Didn't love it. Found the Martilo better.
r/iemsneutral1
That will be my next upgarde from my martilo
r/iemspositive8
Love my Martilo's. I use them for gaming and Music. Fantastic. The bass is crisp and not muddy while allowing positional audio in games and good soundstage in music.
r/iemsneutral3
The only tips i got a good seal & sound with where the Sonic HE, Dunu s&s and my favourites for the Martilo’s the penon liqueur blacks.
