"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."


"Mellow and easy to daily drive both physically and sound comfort wise"


"the wan er comes with by far the most comfortable best performing eartips."

"I couldn't be happier for $16. ... All in all I'm impressed. ... $20 is still a bargain for what you get."


"I play tarkov/arena and am highly competitive even with a $25 tangzu waner."


"Tangzu Wan'er would be the best value IEM for this genre, it's a relaxing set."

"terms of vocals, nothing really beats the Tangzu Wan'er SG or the Wan'er 2. ... But vocals is still better for the Wan'er SG/Wan'er 2."


"I dont hear sibilance honestly ... its a pretty decent pick ... if you want to prioritize clarity, better go for the waner."


"Wan'er chose "safe" balanced tonality with emphasis on vocals. ... Wan'er SG doesn't have mid bass emphasis, so the vocals will not be muddy. ... You are not doomed if your priority is vocals, because it's a vocal specialist like I said before."

"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."


"for music tangzu have a much better resolution and deep"

"I hate the bass on my Tangzu wane'r.. it has boomy shallow bass.."


"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."

"Also as an iem owner i wouldn't suggest buying it if they are thinking of using it for longer sessions. The wax buildup, cleaning, wire problems, pin problem are no joke when it comes to cheaper iems, they break easily. ... I have had moondrop sparks, blon 03, tangzu wan'er, monk plus etc and although they sound great, they all had some problems within a year or two."


"the connection pin broke in November"

"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."

I ended up buying both. They're just so damn affordable. The Wan'er has great mids and highs, but very little low-end. But you can hear so much detail with these. Very balanced, with extremely clear vocals. Good for mixing, given you keep the lacking low-end in mind, great for listening to pop and EDM. Keywords: crystal clear, sparkly, refreshing. The Chu II is more energetic, with a more pronounced low-end presentation. Not as balanced, but more fun. The mids and highs are nothing to scoff at, just not quite as detailed and balanced as the Wan'er. Great for anything from hip hop and rap, to rock, metal and pop. Keywords: warm, deep, punchy. Both are easy to drive. Both sound great with classical music, for different reasons.

You could get a Truthear Gate or a Tangzu Wan'er S.G 2 for <2k rupees, make sure to get the mic version. I've used both of those for Battlefield and Helldivers and they're quite good.  You can use the remaining 3k to get a better mic if you want lol, the mics on both of those aren't great (since they're mostly audio quality focused)

Idk, Tangzu Wan’er SG2 and Final E500 are both good as IEMs and as tip resource.

Yes 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.

Should have gotten the 2nd version instead. Mine just came in and I couldn't be happier for $16. Nice punchy bass, smooth mids and actually pretty detailed treble All in all I'm impressed. Plus you get a good cable and sancai tips

Sure. [Click here](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqCZ9nH) I got mine during a sale, but $20 is still a bargain for what you get.

Answering this in my terms: – If you want a V-shape, get the SG2. – If you want something neutral, get the Studio Edition. – If you care about vocals or accuracy, the Studio Edition is the clear pick. To illustrate: grab a few IEMs, put them on, and monitor yourself through a neutral mic like an NT1. Each one will color your voice differently. The Studio Edition gives you an accurate, “this is actually my voice” result. The SG2, by contrast, makes your voice (on the same mic) sound like a cheap Blue Snowball-tier mic. It's worse with vocals. Edit: Make sure you’re buying the *Studio Edition* specifically. If Ctrl+F doesn’t find that wording on the product page, it’s the wrong version. Edit: I used the white eartips included with the Studio Edition.

Got into IEMs this year after a few wireless sets died on me..... Started with budget ones and now have a small collection - Castor Pro tuned for bass, TW SG2 for daily use, and Chu 2 for vocals/classical. Would love to try something higher tier like the Horizon (or the Odyssey 2) to see what multi-driver magic sounds like!
