XENNS - Mangird Top

Yeah me too, I have some very expensive sets, like the IE600, and I prefer the EW300 over the IE600... I still prefer my Ziigaat Odyssey, or my Mangird Xenns Top, but damn the Simgot is indeed very very good for the asked price

I initially thought the top sounded better than the tea pro. But after spending more time with both, I'm not so sure anymore. The tea pro sounded more balanced to me, the top has a lot more sub bass presence and is more V shaped imo. Both have great separation and sound stage, but the bass on the tea pro still sounded cleaner to me.

My top pro is still on preorder so I cant compare it yet. But if you're refering to the normal top to the tea pro, I'd say they're about the same for the soundstage, with the tea pros being slightly clearer in that regard because the sub bass rumble isnt as much as the top. I'd consider both to be mid volume sets, the top has more sparkle when cranked up, so the tea pro is a little easier for longer listening

Idk m8.. my Xenns Mangird Top are much better than all the <100$ iems I have.. then again I got the Novas for 95$ on 11.11 sales and the novas are actually just a little behind the Xenns in sound quality.. to my ears anyway.. but normal price is around 150$...

I have 2 I would suggest Xenns Mangird Top Fatfreq deuce

Idk about mind blowing, but when I first heard my Xenns Mangird Tops, I had never heard anything as good... Kind of the same thing when I 1st put on my Hifiman Ananda nanos... the tops are in the 500$ range btw.

I have the OG top, and it's easily my favorite of all my iems (about 13 sets).. the 1st time I put them on, it really was like listening to music for the 1st time... I don't have the Tops Pro and I don't know if it's even worth it because I have the OG, but I'm pretty sure they are as good as people are saying that they are. Did thus guy get paid... idfk and idc.. make an informed decision before you buy a set.

I stopped at the og Xenns top.. kinda wish I had never bought them so I could get the xenns top pro lol.. but as it stands, I will not buy them because im 100% sure they dont sound that much better than the og top, if they even sound better (to me).

Have you tried the Xenns Mangird Top? I have it and the Monarch MKIII and still prefer it. I want Xenns to make a $1k IEM badly.

Currently daily XENNS Mangird Top but I’m looking to try something different just for gaming. I mainly play EFT and COD. Do the Aretes have precise imaging? As far as hearing distinctively if someone is above/below and how close or far they are? I’ve heard the soundstage is pretty solid. Or if there’s something else around the $200 mark you’d recommend, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks for the reply, I’ve been using the Mangird Top for about 2 years now and have no complaints. They are solid for music and gaming. I just have an itch to try something new. I’ve been playing EFT a lot more recently and with the Mangirds I can hear people but can’t pin point their exact location.

I’ve been using the xenns top in fps gaming for the past 2 years and love them. I recently picked up the Ziigaat Arete and have been enjoying those as well. I mainly play COD and EFT. The audio is complete garbage in COD and extremely good in EFT for directional/footsteps.

Mine would be the Xenns Mangird Top and old school RnB. Think of things like Craig David, Brian Mcknight, Ne-Yo etc etc.

Moondrop Chu, and no. The Kato is the only Moondrop iem I still have and use. I liked the Aria but gave it to a friend to try to get him into iems (I failed). The Chu was good enough to get me into iems, but not good enough to keep me listening. I don't even know where they are now, lol. Of the early iems that I bought, I only have and listen to the Truthear Hexa (lifeless but decent, with wonderful imaging) and that Truthear Harmon-tuned one that Crinacle did with the subwoofer (I forget the name). It is fatiguing, but it is exciting until it wears me down. Good for techno. I listen mostly to the Aful P5, the Chopin, the Letshour S12, and the Kato now. Sometimes at home, I listen to the P8 and the Xenn Mangrid Top (they are too expensive to lug around with me--I have a $200 limit on iems that I'm willing to take in my backpack).

well that is reassuring to hear, going from the ikko oh10 to the xenns top. Hope they blow me well 😉

I love how clean the Titans are and since they have just a few BAs and a DD the "coherency" is there, and much better then my old Xenns Top,Up.. granted a half as expensive pairs but im shocked actually how good and "quality" these sound and such a massive upgrade in all regards not just the bass in my opinion.

Xenns top is a no brainer. Symphonium Meteor if you like more laid back and bassy sound.

1st was Xenns Top like 2 months ago. 2nd is the Thieaudio Origin have it for almost 2 weeks now.

Xenns TOP was my first IEM, the first time i looked at it, i thought it was big but when I got the Origin, Boy i was wrong. It look small to me now hehehe. But when i'm wearing, i don't notice it anymore. I can play for hours with Origin just like the TOP. In terms of music I can listen to it way longer than the TOP maybe because Origin sound much better overall.

Top is good. But overall origin is better in music and gaming for me. I'm no expert but i just prefer Origin.

I have the xenns top and love it. Just ordered the origin. Is the origin a straight upgrade? Prolly sell the top if it is.

I have the EM6L and if you think they’re end game, my god, the Xenns Top that I have would blow your mind.

Xenns top are amazing, one of my all time favorites

can confirm. xenns top are amazing for gaming and music

I love my iems for gaming. The truthear zero are amazing, but I definitely feel the wanting to level up, which I did (kiwi ears orchestra lite are amazing, and the Xenns Mangird topp were life changing). I think I wish that I had tried out EQ before I upgraded though, I think I could have gotten so much more out of my purchases before I jumped. Check out the PEACE EQ app, and go to the subreddit for peace and find your headphones, people with tons of experience have put together some awesome profiles for almost every popular headphone you can buy, and you can use those as starting points to make your headphones sound how you want. Also, check out ArtIsWar on YouTube, he has some custom sound tunings for black ops 6 specifically that will help you get more mileage out of what you already have. That being said, I won’t ever tell anybody to not explore the audiophile world, sound is an amazing thing. Best of luck out there!

The XENNS Top are a better Variations. Variations have shoddy built quality, and were from the few IEMs that didn't fit my ears.

I have/had them both, man. Basically kept the Top and sold the Variations. I couldn't stand the spilled glue that had leaked from underneath the faceplate to the smoky transparent body as well. If you really want ESTs, go for the EJO7. Much more comfortable shell than the Variations monstrosity and similar tuning. I shouldn't have even replied to you being disrespectful. You are a disgrace to the community.

I prefer the Canon 2 because it makes the atmosphere more alive compared to the Xenns Top, but, the Top is a bit better in positioning and separation. I also prefer the canon 2 for music because of this more energetic and realistic presentation of the Canon. I also tested the Arete, and is not good.

Both IEMs sound excellent. I am not a gamer; I am an audio enthusiast. The ThieAudio Origin has a grander sound, and its bass experience differs from that of the Xenns Top. Both IEMs are incredibly addictive to listen to.

Hmm I use my OG Xenns Top for metal and love them for that, but it does bring out the "fuzziness" in some less well mastered tracks.

Xenns top has a wider soundstage than tea pro

Xenns tops are better than tea pros

Yeah, even the original Top was only slightly better than the Variations. Don't get me wrong, Variations is awesome, but it's getting a bit dated.

Chopin or maybe Xenns Top (not pro) hit that U-shaped signature for me. If you can stretch the definition of U to include Mild V, the new meta tuned sets like KE4 and Ziigaat Odyssey are on the table as well but they do have a thicker midrange that comes along with that kind of tuning

Honestly for an entry level iem just save up some more for the supermix 4, skip the timeless soundstage is so narrow. Then the next upgrade with honestly be either the Variations or Xenns Top. Final endgame will be the Thieaudio big boys (Monarch, Prestige, Origin). Alternatives would be Elysian endgame range iems too.
