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.

I only have 2 IEMs, the KZ Castor Bass Edition and the Tangzu Yu Xuan Ji. I've tried the 7HZ Salnotes Zero, Popcorn Bass X8 Pro, and the QKZ AK6 Pro before. In my experience, the Tangzu Yu Xuan Ji has the best soundstage out of all the ones I've tried. They are very bright and airy, and the sub-bass feels forward but controlled. Its punchy bass surprised me, especially since I came from the KZ Castor Bass Edition. I recommend reading this review if you want to know more about it. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tangzu-yu-xuan-ji.27509/reviews I've read another comment here mentioning the Kefine Klean, and I recommend you also look into that one.

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've been maining the TangZu Yu Xuan Ji for like 6 months now. They sound like trash without eq but with eq they sound better than the thieaudio oracle I borrowed. I have 1 of each color now, unfortunately a bit too late to the gold one. I'm currently going down the audio source and cable rabbit hole now that I have my end game iem.

As someone who PEQ's a lot- the Castor bass punch, specifically from Castor OG, can't be replicated with just EQ. You can boost the bass that is there but it will not be the same quality of bass. Zero has better sub-bass but the mid-bass is much less and even for sub-bass I prefer Aoshida E20 or turning up the bass on Yu Xuan Ji.

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.

My endgame is -Tangzu Yu Xuan Ji + Dunu S&S + IBasso Macaron JR -KZ ZS12 PRO X + Spinfit W1 + Onix Alpha XL1 both 4.4 balanced on high gain

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 🤩
