"for music tangzu have a much better resolution and deep"
"I did the same to the Waners and.. it made them sound 2-3x as good. ... The sound stage opened up, detail increased, and overall sounded much more balanced and refined."
"mostly flat but slightly bassy sound ... they're great"

"the wan er comes with by far the most comfortable best performing eartips."
"Mellow and easy to daily drive both physically and sound comfort wise"
"if you’re worried about fatigue I would go with the wan’ers. I use them every day for 8 hours a day and find they have perfect tuning when it comes to fatigue."

"been using them for an entire year solely for gaming they cook."
"for gaming that's irrelevant. ... The game relevant frequencies of the Wan'er are perfectly fine I give my blessing for them for siege"
"Waner out of box for gaming ain't good but with auto eq it's awesome. ... with involvement of DAC you can make these both iem sounds pretty much like anything"

"the sound feels extreeeeemely dull to me ... it's just wasn't for me I guess"
"All of them sound thin, boring, lifeless in comparison. I think it's mainly due to the bass. When I listen to these other ones, I can sometimes hear the bass, but I can't feel it. When using the Fiios, I feel it. It makes me bop my head to the music."
"It lacks the bass that I'm looking for."

"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 connection pin broke in November"
"The cable is too thin, so it doesn't stay in place properly when there's side wind."

"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"
"after losing filters(I was a blue collar at the time) the treble was unbearable"
"Vocals are quite forward, fatigued almost instantly."

"With the Wan'er specifically, cutting 1.5K will improve soundstage (which is very congested to begin with)"
"After switch back to the B2s, I started to notice the deficiencies of the cheaper iem. Much worse detail, imaging, soundstage, and dynamics."
"the soundstage... I literally missed with the cheaper ones."
_BallTickler_ 1.0Chu 2 dsp is solid if u have small ears, I didn't like the fit so I went with the Tangzu SG 2. Been liking them a lot so far. Will prolly be upgrading to kefine delci ae next.
After reading too many reviews I think am gonna order letshour s08 as my near 100$ iem Been rocking tangzu waner sg2 and it's surprisingly good
Beast_Viper_007 1.0Either Tangzu Wan'er SG 2 or Tanchjim Bunny. Bunny is out of stock for now.
Yes, go with that. Good for classical.
Wan'er 2 is small-medium in size. Tanchjim bunny is small size but out of stock and leaning more towards neutral.
Either wait for that or get the Wan'er 2.
Brbi2kCRO 1.0Idk, Tangzu Wan’er SG2 and Final E500 are both good as IEMs and as tip resource.
bruh-KO9 1.0In my opinion go for tangzu waner sg2 as it is a bit more vocal centric as per your music choice
ChangoFrett 1.0Yes and no (mostly no) To preface this, I'm an audio engineer with significant recording studio experience. No gold records or anything, but I have worked with artists who have gold and platinum records before. Anything I say is coming from a recording/mixing professional standpoint, not necessarily an end-user or consumer standpoint: IEMs *can* be more detailed, just like headphones *can* be. What you hear through them doesn't become more detailed just because an IEM is an IEM. It's about driver selection, construction, and tuning. You buy a $20 IEM, you get a $20 product. (Tangzu Wan'er) Mostly, these sound better than some JLabs garbage at Target/Wal-Mart (due to tuning) but they aren't ever going to outperform a set of over-ears with a half-decent pedigree (ATH-M40x and the like) When we get into the $500 range (like the Mega5EST) then you can really start to see the benefits of the tuning and driver selection but also the benefits of simple physics. BeyerDynamics can put out the same kind of treble extension that the Mega5EST can, but the M5E doesn't have to work as hard doing it. Those ultra-high frequencies die off in open air very quickly. Not so much when forced through a mostly sealed tube (your ear canal) That's a lot of your "detail". One thing I have never heard a dynamic driver IEM do (but have heard it slightly with some BA units) is get the sound of the bow moving across the strings of a double bass or cello right. Those little "skips" you can hear as the bow kinda barely jumps along the string surface. I can only get *that* kind of detail out of properly powered over ears with great drivers. Detail isn't all treble extension. You will never hear a snare sound more like a snare than through Neumann NDH-30s. They just punch and are alive. Tuning will also play a HUGE part by attempting to make up for the what the outer structure of your ear does to sound before hitting your eardrum. I dislike these meta tuned IEMs, mostly, because they sound incredibly unnatural to me. Bassy, recessed mids, too much treble in weird ranges. My HRTF and these tunings usually *do not* get along. You might LOVE them, though. Headphones aren't perfect, but we all can get closer to agreeing on how a pair of headphones sound between us than we can IEMs due to at least having our entire ear involved in hearing them. Plus... I would NEVER mix or monitor tracking sessions with a pair of IEMs. Doesn't matter how well it matches my HRTF or how "neutral" they're touted to be (Ziigaat Cincotres and their marketing it as "studio reference tuning" was a flat-out *lie* ) I know what sound really sounds like having recorded strings, guitars, drums, woodwinds, etc...
I'd take the Wyvern or look at the 7Hz Zero2. The Wan'er sounds like a paper cone speaker in the mids. No real detail despite having volume there. The Cadenza costs double the Wan'er and sounds worse. Muddy bass with no texture, blurry mids, and peaky treble that still manages to not get in the way. All cymbals sound the same. Just a slow driver overall. I own them all and I've tried them all with many different sets of tips.

Claussius1 1.0bunny dsp/7hz salnotes zero/tangzu waner sg2. Personal recommendation - tangzu
EibMoZzzz 1.0I have bought a lot of cheap kz and the kz zsn pro 2 is really good is above every one on the same price range I prefer it even above the waner sg 2
ERVBROTHDA 1.0Cadanza -2.8k good for music but less durable Kiwi zero 2 - 2 k good for music but less durable Waner sg 2 - 1.8k warmer and best quality , consider bunny to from Linsoul , headphones ,audio store websites
FaithlessnessHour788 1.0I tried chu 2 and tangzu waner sg2. Chu 2 has more bass, tangzu more treble. If you use a bad source like a windows laptop, Nintendo Switch or something like that there will probably be white noise with the tangzu waner sg. No noise on the chu 2
Honestly if it's a windows laptop even if it's good you might hear noise. I have a windows laptop that was $1000 like 3 years ago. With the tangzu I can hear some white noise. if I use my MacBook there is no noise because it has a good dac/amp. If you don't think that is a problem then the chu 2 has more bass and the tangzu are more focused on treble
