"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"For gaming, these are perfect. ... As a valorant immortal, tier 2 and premier player, I can confidently say that the imaging and soundstage are spot-on. ... Footsteps, directional cues, and in-game sounds are incredibly precise and natural, giving a competitive edge without any unnecessary bass/treble bloat."
"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"endgame ... Otherwise I probably wouldn't use any other IEM for gaming but this ... The best was definitely the EM6L where I felt nearly no difference in performance with my headphones ... The EM6L is by far and away the best iem for fps gaming. ... But as of rn the EM6L is the best imo ... The EM6L is still king of gaming in my opinion. ... Em6l is still end game."

"I love the bass and the vocals—both come through clean and clear. ... Bass is punchy with good sub-bass rumble, but it stays clean and doesn’t bleed into the mids. ... It’s got a nice texture too—more balanced and fun compared to sets like the Zero 2 or Hola."
"these do perform extremely well in vocal and instrument centric songs. ... everything else felt like a day and night difference between the hexa and the enco buds, especially vocals."
"Clarity/detail retrieval is great. ... Figuring out different enemies from there footsteps is easy. ... it was the 1st time i realized just how detailed footsteps, gun reloading and shooting sounds in val were after I used the iems. Insane."

"after losing filters(I was a blue collar at the time) the treble was unbearable"
"It was whiny, that's the best way I can describe it. ... It sounded like a petulant child, upset that it didn't get its way. ... Whatever frequencies that a child whines at about not wanting to do something or whatever, those frequencies seemed enhanced to my ears"
"non enjoyable treble with the high frequencys just hurting my ears"

"reduced the nozzle just merely 0.6mm (still quite large) ... I have small ear canals, what he did, did not only not solve anything, but if i were to get it, thanks to the very huge nozzle, ill likely would not be able to wear the foams comfortable"
"It also shares the big nozzle of the blue version. ... if you happen to have small ear canals, or you are looking for comfort, they could hurt or not fit well when using them ... truthear zero red is NOT good if you have small ear canals, and not safe if you dont know if you have small ear canals*) ... Klean is pretty well balanced and a lot more comfortable than Zero Red"
"For Zero red, I felt fatigue on my ear after using it for 2 hours. The nozzle is too big but my ear can handle it but not for long."

"They almost bursted my eardrums when I first play a song. ... I think it’s more of a cable problem, cause they work well with a 3.5."
"Honestly, everything seems great, except the cables. I hated the cables. They just have too much grip and get tangled really quickly. A little annoying but too much to ask for $20 :3"
"The cable I got with my Wan’er II is easily the worst cable I own. Ear hooks are incorrectly molded and has a slight short in it. ... Very poor cable that already had a short it in, no chin cinch, inconsistent molding on ear hooks."
I would HIGHLY recommend getting wan'er 2 (in whatever connector you want, USB c is the best deal) you get a good cable (much better than the stock moondrop cable.) and tangzu's Sancai eartips that are $10 dollars by itself. And you also get another iem for free! You can give that away if you don't like it along with your older cable and tips. Can't see a better deal than that.
r/iems • Which eartips and cable to buy ->Still actually the 7HZ Zero 2. Bunnys spike in the uppers are not fun, Castor pro bass is a bit odd but enjoyable at least, waner 2 is tooo vocal. Pure and hexa are mid. Pure neither has enjoyable bass or mids. Hexa is shouty. EM6L is thin. Explorer is dark asf. The only one of these I've had moments of "Oh shit" and jumping up because I thought the sound was next to me, was from the Zero 2. My collection goes into the kilobucks
r/iems • Best All Rounder IEMs under $120-$130. ->i actually thought their bass was a bit bloated, but i've used hexas for the past 9 months so i'm probably just used to those.
r/iems • Followed the herd mentality. ->Truthear gate is the best one, the wan er 2 is also good but only for flushed 2 pin connectors
r/iems • Which $20 IEM has the best cable? ->o i had a stroke wtf i read that as truthear pure in your title lol gates are a great set yes. kz zvx pro i've personally been also using and I'm very surprised at all the things you mentioned really . detail, imaging, clarity these were able to provide + full metal build quality for like 12$ if you want a set for the longrun and like a more vocal focused tuning then consider wan'er 2 if those are under 25$, great iem on their own (build quality is pretty cheap though) but you get an excellent cable plus and stellar set of included eartips that people go out of their way to buy on their own to use for much more expensive sets i'd personally take the cheaper zvx pro as its just a sidegrade to the gate but should be a good amount cheaper or spend abit more for the wan'er 2 for the great accessory package
r/iems • should i take truthear gate? ->Tangzu wan er vs this one which one has better sound . i have alredy tangzu also i curious about castor pro
r/iems • The Castor Pro bass was worth every penny for a new IEM user like me ->Wired ones mostly have passive noise cancelling. For your money, tangzu waner 2 lang ang pasok sa budget mo na Matino tumunog.
r/ShopeePH • Best IEMs around ₱1,000? ->better get the version 2 nito.
r/ShopeePH • Best IEMs around ₱1,000? ->IEM is a wrong place to look for soundstage. Yeah there is a difference when you put 15 minutes of critical listening into the "stage" Get waner 2 for great vocal
r/iems • Wider Soundstage with Great Vocals: Truthear Gate, Moondrop Chu II or 7Hz Salnotes Zero? ->TLDR: Just buy them. Great accessories and an even greater set of IEMs I just received my unit of the Wan'er 2 and I'm blown away! I never had the first gen but I did have the Chu 2, but I gave it away. I wanted to get the Sancai tips and thought that I might as well just get the Wan'er 2 since they come with the tips. I thought that I could just give these to a friend if they wanted IEMs (they don’t but anyway…). I opened the surprisingly luxurious packaging for this price point (since the Chu 2 just comes in a random box in some plastic) and was instantly amazed. Accessories: The Saincai tips feel very nice and sound quite good with this set! The others are like the standard tips you can get with any set of IEMs so I don’t think those are very notable. The cable on the other hand feels very nice in hand but tends to be a bit weird when wearing. The earhooks are wound very tightly out of the box, which is quite odd and I didn’t really like since it feels like someone closed a door on my ear (which is of course quite exaggerated but it’s still tight and weird). You could easily follow super*review’s guide on IEM „stancing“ on YouTube though. This will just teach you to reform the earhooks by yourself. Now let’s get into the important stuff! Sound: Bass: This set absolutely slams! The bass has impact and is punchy and clean while also not drowning out the rest of the sound. I was just amazed. I totally did not expect anything like this from a 20$ set but it’s a DD after all… Mids: They sound good, the timbre is good and they sound very pleasant. Personally I would just prefer a bit more but that’s just my preference and these are great for their price. The vocals are also a bit more forward which is very nice Treble: So smooth! Not offensive whatsoever and just smooth! These are also pretty detailed and do sound a bit sparkly sometimes, but that might as well just be a good thing. The extension is also very clean and smooth Conclusion: For 20$ these are an absolute banger! They sound so good and are absolutely an endgame set of IEMs for those that don’t won’t to spend a lot! You absolutely won’t find an actual headphone this good for this amount of money. The accessories are also absolutely amazing for this price and the IEMs are absolutely worth picking up even if you just want the cable and eartips! I hope this made sense and was helpful, since I didn’t see any reviews apart from another user on this subreddit actually talking about these
r/iems • Tangzu Wan'er 2 - The blind buy nobody will regret ->I stopped reading at "Truthear Zero Red", that trash usually goes for $55-65 and "Bass-forward"? did you ever listen that thing? All HBB collabs are known for their bass but the zero red?. It's $60 for an iem with a cheap cable and cheap eartips, with a gigantic nozzle, how do you tip roll with that nozzle?. It's just one of the worst iems for a beginner and totally overpriced, you can get a better cable and eartips with the Tangzu wan'er at 1/3 of the price. It's 2025 with so many options, at this point it's just a meme of this subr recommending that thing
