Really love your short reviews, despite their length they are still more informative than 99% of other reviews. I've been following you on Reddit for a while and I'm very happy that you decided to create this channel.

Absolutely love your reviews. Short, straight to point. I can't stand those 1 hour IEM reviews going round in circles 😂

Been waiting for this review to come out XD

Vtuber and iem reviews man what a banger

[LuciferArc]

A vtuber iem reviewer. Honestly, I've watched a ton of reviewers and although you're newer than all of them....youre actually better than most. You explain the technical aspects in a way that's easy to digest. Keep it up man. I'm already loving this channel. Can't wait to see what's next

Nice review! I've recently bought one just because of that mid focused curve, just waiting them to arrive to test it. And I'm just in love with the art in the box and how Tangzu is naming their iems. This one was probably named after Shangguan Wan'er, from the VII century

I just realized how well you used the harman target to describe the way the iem sounds. Rather than some completely discrediting it and using IEF neutral or using it as the gold standard that if theres any minor deviation, is completely garbage, its just more helpful to base off of the target and describe how things might sound compared to it, listing pros and cons of both the target and the reviewed iem.

Thanks for the review and wonderful graph. I find the Salnotes Zero to sound a bit thin. I was looking at this one to maybe replace it.

[clickbait]

After a year of using them I can say this: soundstage is ~ 4", imaging shows you the direction but not the depth, details and separation are good (great for 20€), bass is present, but not intrusive, treble isn't piercing - I like the tuning. The shell is very brittle however.

Glad to hear you tackle the Wan’er and the Hola. How would you compare the 2 in clarity and tuning?

[neandrewthal]

The 13k peak would kill it for me though it would more likely appear at 10-12k.

I know my ears aren't the same as any measurement rig and you are supposed to take the treble with a grain of salt, but really I take smooth treble on a graph with a grain of salt because there still might be a peak for me. If there is a peak on the graph I know I will definitely get it somewhere.

Great review, I'm surprised you prefer both the zero and hola over it!

Do you know if this iem has inverted polarity by default?

[allen]

I am here literally after just unboxing them and using them. All i can say is this is the worse heaphones i have ever Literally no bass, it just raw sound, and its so uncomfortably loud, it literally hurts not even joking, the buzzing in the ear won't stop, i don't get what are these people

[bladecup]

GJ, true they are awesome for the price, nice warm and smooth sound, problem with them they are little bit muddy at higher volumes, but hey its 20 bucks iem, and with that warmth comes little lushiness(some people see like magical), which personally i dont like:)
