TANGZU - Wan'er Classic Edition

Castors are a good choice too. Castor Harman is good; gave it to my gf. Castor bass is a bit muddy, but not too muddy like kbear rosefinch; I use that personally. I personally love the edc pro more because it's smoother with just the right amount of bass, but the Harman is a bit thin for me. But I just re-read your genre of choice. I saw you like J-Pop. If that's the case, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Tangzu Waner (the original ones that came in black, white, jade, and blue colors; not the studio version or the waner 2). Tangzu waner is specialized for making vocals, specifically female vocals, pop. Wan'er is known to make Stay With Me and Plastic Love sound good. Great with YOASOBI too.

I too listen to YOASOBI and anime songs, so I still think waner is perfect.

OG Wa'ner sounds like what you're chasing. For that entry price point you can't go wrong, really smooth nice vocals. It's warm neutral. It was my entry into IEM's and recently went back to try them and remembered how good they were for $30 (AUD).

Ig Tangzu waner 1st edition is better exactly for what it got famous for -The Music profile (tuning) and the aesthetics while it's 2nd has some changes in tuning that's not the signature music of tangzu waner(that may not be liked my mass especially beginners) and better quality cable and the eartips I would still go for 1st edition for the MUSIC quality I can compromise on cables and eartips

I wont call the Zero 2 neutral bright, is actually just balanced, and even a bit on the bassy side, if you want a balanced, kinda neutral iem, actually Tangzu waner is closer to that, also focusing on vocals, its a good middle groun, if you want to test bassy, you can either go for the KZ Castor Pro Bass (there is normal and Pro verions, both with bass and harman verions, you want to go for the bass version) to test a bassy V-shaped iem, more energetic, nice punch, and then you can check the Salnotes Zero original for something actually more neutral bright, leaning to vocals and treble. Also, you have alternatives like the Tanchjim Bunny to the Waner, the Kbear rosefinch for a "bass canon", or the QKZxHBB for a bassy relaxed very warm set, for better or for worse tho, there arent that many "bright" options on the budget bracket.

This would be for me a few options to consider, there are a lot more honestly, but these would be my essentials: * Original Tangzu Waner - since is quite comfortable, vocal focused and works great with EQ. * Arrti T10 - for the cheapest planar than sounds like a planar. * Dunu Titan S2 - for a well rounded single DD quite cheap and with great accessories (tho better to consider EQ if the stock tuning is a bit too intense). * Kbear Rosefinch - for a funny bassy iem to blast music to, this is more of a nostalgic bass heavy sound. * Moondrop Lan (OG or II) - for something bright balanced, to have a comfortable, nom-bassy reference. * Simgot EW300 - for a budget but well rounded hybrid balanced IEM with nice allrounder performance.

1. Pick dawn if you love bass especially sub bass 2. Pick waner if you want natural sound or if you are a vocal lover 3. You cannot swap the cable on dawn ( undetachable )

Wan’er OG is heaps better (sound-wise) than the 2. Bunny DSP is a total gem and lets you alter the tuning to your liking. Ignore the rest.

7hz zero 2 or tangzu wan er 2 if you can but tangzu wan er og is also good. I heard good things about the truthear gate as well.

Using Tangzu Wan’er 1 because of the vocal clarity.

Hi! You commented on my post and I thought I’d come by to give some advice! I would typically recommend the wan’er 2 as a first pair of iem’s but considering their large shell size they might not be for you. The Chu 2 are a great set absolutely and can be upgraded directly to the LAN 2 ref also from Moondrop. I wouldn’t recommend going for the ie200 because they cost a good amount of money but they take on a neutral tone which might be to your preference, I personally prefer a “fun” sound and therefore don’t use them often. Also consider tip sizes. If you find your canal is too small, most iem’s offer small tip sizes and you can find even smaller aftermarket, in which case I recommend the wan’er 2 as they have my favourite ever tips in the stock box that I use for all my iem’s. Don’t spend more than needed, I would recommend the KZ castors, Cadenza, Wan’er 1 or 2, Chu 2, or, if it’s in your budget, the LAN

Just go with \`tangzu wan'er\` it's better peek then gate bass is just too bad in Gate

Sorry but I only tested waner 1, I Heard that waner 2 have emphasised some table and has batter cable Personly I think waner1 still a good peek Just try to find some good edition which has good cable quality (I guess green one)
