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!

The GK Kuntens rn with the Tin Hifiman T3 cable. If I want to listen to a very anticipated album, I swap to my Tangzu Yi Xuanjis

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.

Today Yu xuan ji with smsl raw mda l, I'm trying to match by eq the frequency of my odyssey just for fun. The rest of the setup is scattered all around my desk.

Yeah these IEMs are very pretty but only for treble heads for sure. I wouldn't recommend this for most people unless you have an affection for heavy treble and a budget of $50. I have the year of the snake edition and I love how they look. (Ignore the stock image, I'm lazy to get my pair and take pics) https://preview.redd.it/c07t0ipzmskg1.jpeg?width=1946&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=391621207a5cd05dd18801f4167d258855870251
