TANGZU - Yu Xuan Ji

My personal rankings for stuff I've heard. I'm a neutral/neutral bright guy. (My post on reddit goes somewhat in depth on all of these, sadly I'm not very technical in my language) Kotori Audio Zephyr (Duh) Truthear Hexa Tangzu Yu Xuan Ji (might be too bright for some but easily looks the prettiest by a *BIG* margin) Truthear Gate (My current set, would upgrade to one of the options in the list in a few months) Tanchjim 4u (Bang for buck) Truthear x Crinacle blue 2 (tachjim 4u has better value) Aful Magicone (very similar to hexa) Moondrop May (A default starter set for almost everyone regardless of taste.) Letshouer s08 (not my taste, great value, premium for the price) Letshouer dz4 (not my taste, great value) Moondrop Chu 2 (My previous set that are lying around somewhere) Tangzu x hbb Xuan Nv (just because of the fit) Kotori Audio Vampire I'll check out your YouTube!

Iems are a superior form factor for music delivery over buds 100% of the time, the seal allows for actual bass extension and a consistent frequency response, so in all cases yes, id recommend iems over buds. If you want something very well tuned and neutral get 5 more dollars and go for the truthear zero red, if you want something brighter under 50 then the kineras ignitex beast, the simgot ew300 maze and the tangzu yu Xuan hi are also options.

Not sure if these are within budget but the Tangzu YuXuanJi. I never realised I like neutral-ish. The bass is still there but not bloated. The wan’ers are good and enjoyable (I use them at work) but the YuXuanJi are better.

I'd like to join in and suggest the TANGZU Yu Xuan Ji. Currently $50 on Amazon To my ears it's a very vocal forward IEM with a good quality bass when need be. Things, to me, sound wide and it seems to have a decent enough detail retrieval. Female vocals and such are very present. Airy with some sparkle, to my ears, if I were to use the audio words thar reviewers love to use. I wouldn't call the bass punchy but it's not muted at all. It has a light metal shell with a sort of "open back" concept where there's a lot of perforation on the faceplate like open back headphones. The set comes with a decent carry pouch and a nice set of standard silicone tips AND the Tangzu Sancai tips in S, M, L.

I had EW200 which i returned. Now i have TANGZU Yu Xuan Ji , even that was not comfortable, like lightly piercing is what i will call it but that got OK with spinfit cp145 eartips. I was laying with EQ and decided to up the 4-6kHz freq. and thats how i got this response from my ears.

Hi Buck-o u/Buck-O , wanted to ask you some questions! I have TANGZU Yu Xuan Ji and i like them and their tuning. The problem is that i cannot listen to them on mid-voulme for a long time. I had TANGZU Wan'er Jade Green before which i could listen at high volumes, SIMGOT EW200 were too shouty for me. With Yu Xuan Ji, with Spinfit CP145 , i was finally able to listen to them at low volume because it tamed some of the treble ever so slightly that it became tasteful yet detailed for me. I had Kiwi Ears Cadenza but still i like Yu Xuan Ji better, i cannot miss the details on this.Gave the Cadenza to my brother. With all the info above, should i go for Odyssey/TANGZU Nezha/Pilgrim/any other you recommend as an upgrade from Yu Xuan Ji, or rather, what should i go for as i want a better listening experience, with details definitely not missing but also not sibilant or fatiguing on my ears? Also, i have seen many opinions on the sound signature on Yu Xuan Ji, if you know what it definitely is, please do tell.

Same things happened to me.  At first I was going to return the product.  After some burn in it's sound improved a lot.  Now it's my favorite. It's sound is enjoyable in various genre. I am liking it 🤩

The good: Energetic V-shape Very good technical abilities in its tier Gorgeous and premium design (both for the price and in general) Includes Tang Sancai eartips (I think its like 12 bucks on its own) The bad: Vocals lack "body" in some tracks, but plays well with high-pitched singers. Slight brittleness in lower treble region Open-back design doesn't noticeably widen soundstage After Tangzu’s successful entry into the $20 market with the Wan’er, comes their next entry at the $50 price point in the Yu Xuan Ji, another banger release. Its tuning is a bit situational, but does well to highlight the separation and imaging abilities of the driver inside. Add to that a beautifully designed shell, combined with a dynamic driver with excellent technical ability at its price, and the inclusion of the very useful Tang Sancai eartips make for an overall very nice bargain.

Tangzu Yu Xuan Ji. Couldn't get a proper fit no matter what I tried and without bass to balance out that high end, I just about felt like a flashbang had gone off next to my ear

I just got this and yes its definitely a v shape. The subbass is there but the midbass is a bit lacking, the vocals also take a step back imo compared to the highs. It's pretty fun except the vocal for me.

The Zero red are solid, do be warned the nozzle size are very large on them, so if your ear canals are a bit on the medium to smaller end they can get very uncomfortable. They do have really good Bass and sub-bass, but in terms of detail retrieval, especially in the upper end they're not as good as some other options. They still are a very solid pick though Simgot EW300 - $56 on sale w/ amazon prime, and are an incredible IEM for that price. Has 2 nozzles with a bit different tuning. ($56 version is the one with the 3.5mm cable) Tangzu YuXuanJi - $50, but not on amazon so you'd have to wait for shipping Kefine Klean - $49 on amazon, and some other places The apple dongle (as long as it's the US version, EU version is under powered) would drive any of these without issue.

well you haven't specified your tastes but I am gonna probably buy the simgot ew300 dsp(or the simgot ea500 dsp) so probably look between them. Simgot are a really trusted brand with a good image so simgot should be safe. I have bought 2 iems before the tangzu waner and the yu xuan ji they both kinda sucked since they don't have bass. These simgots are an all rounder. If you can increase your budget even a little buy the aful explorer. Here are some lists you can use if you want some more info [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zeby9PqsTmHMRQ3D3n5W\_1Gx9aNPPK67yoBl\_FXdaF4/edit?gid=0#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zeby9PqsTmHMRQ3D3n5W_1Gx9aNPPK67yoBl_FXdaF4/edit?gid=0#gid=0) [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XQtSH90BGK99Vij3dXcSylfwcut5XerPbkkEksFwATA/edit?gid=0#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XQtSH90BGK99Vij3dXcSylfwcut5XerPbkkEksFwATA/edit?gid=0#gid=0) [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZHVib50XFQW4up3SwOZUTbI-hZB6Ir5LX6XnZblIM6o/edit?gid=0#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZHVib50XFQW4up3SwOZUTbI-hZB6Ir5LX6XnZblIM6o/edit?gid=0#gid=0) hope this helps

It all depends on personal preference, I personally prefer the Yu Xuan Ji as I prefer its balanced tuning. But I am sensitive to bass which is probably another reason that I prefer them. The Zero Reds I found to have a more developed bass sound with good treble but I was hoping for more mid clarity. The IgniteX I personally don’t have any experience with but after a quick search it seems that they have a sizeable V-Shaped curve with a punchy bass. I have seen some people say that the IgniteX’s treble was a bit too bright for them. Again, all of this is personal preference and based on the music you listen to. You can’t go wrong with any of these options, but to the vast majority of people I think the Zero Reds are going to be their choice!
