Mangird Top

the iem that fulfills all your need above doesn't exist 😂 I'd recommend two sets: mangird top pro / tea pro se monarch mk3/4 top pro is not as versatile as monarchs but it's more comfortable. monarchs are good at EDM but not great. long term comfort is also an issue because it's shell is bulky. go for monarchs if you're willing to eq because for me, it's treble extension is amazing.

Just be careful going down the rabbit hole in this hobby, it adds up quickly. I kept buying the latest iem to take the top spot in fresh reviews gaming wallhack tier list, until i couldn’t justify upgrading to the 64 audio volurs at $4300aud (im australian). I stopped at the fiio FA19 $1700aud. I do use these everyday for gaming, i don’t hate them for music, fiio iems tend to lean a little bright for my music taste. My favourite set i own is the Xenns Top (original not pro) they cost me $730aud on sale through linsoul. Definitely a capable set for gaming, but my absolute favourite signature for music, i went down the rabbit hole, spent money chasing an upgrade to it, when in reality i just needed to realise it’s all i needed. I have 10 sets in total and just rotate listening to them when im cooking or doing bookwork for my business. You notice the difference between them if you A\B test them, if you just put them in and enjoy the music, your ears adjust and you forget about being critical of the sound and just enjoy them. If you wanna drop bigger $$$ on something find the sound profile you like first, eq will be far more cost effective than buying a heap of cheaper iems of different signatures.

Fiio FA19 for gaming original Xenns Top with a custom cable for music. Also own original Fiio FH7, Dunu vulkan, Tin t4 plus, Kiwi ears orchestra lite and KE4, Letshuoer s12 pro, ikko oh10 and Punch audio martillo.

That’s mostly due to each game having different audio implementations. Footsteps can sit within different frequency ranges from game to game. Other audio queues (explosions & abilities) that sit in those same ranges drowning out footsteps, can sometimes be far more transparent on a particular iem than others. It seems Fresh usually rates multi driver iems quite highly due to their competence in imaging and layering. I have purchased a few different sets based on his reviews. Primarily the Dunu Vulkan 1, Kiwi ears orchestra lite, Xenns Top and Fiio FA19. I don’t play Valorant though but i definitely think he knows what he’s talking about and not just shilling products like other reviewers.

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

Started with the Thieaudio Hype 2. Sold those and bought the Xenns Mangird Top with the 7hz Thunderbird cable. Like jewelry. Matched perfectly. Sound was just as incredible. Love them. My wife stole them and said what Xenns Top? She uses them with the Divinus Velvet Wide Bore smalls. Got the Hidizs MP145 cuz I have huge ears and wanted a planar. Then got the Thieaudio Hype 10, and damn they're good. Then Fatfreq got with HBB and created a goddamn mess for months, but when the Deuce got here.....slammin bass. Then Thieaudio came out with the Oracle Mk3 and holy shit I was in heaven. Bought the Kiwiears Punch just cuz ultimate bass, but I hardly use them. Since the wife snatched the Top it's a toss up of the Oracle Mk3, Hype 10 and the MP145, with the Oracle being first

There were 3 IEMs for me. Ziigaat Odyssey for the tuning, I just love it and it fits my preference. Xenns Mangird Top (not the PRO as I've not heard it myself yet) but even then it was my benchmark for anything sub 600. Lastly my current most expensive and a personal "endgame" set the Thieaudio Prestige LTD, it might loose out on certain aspects if compared to other similar priced IEMs but personally to me it's just the smoothest and most lush sounding IEM I've ever put in my ear.

The 1st time I put on my Xenns top, it was magical lol.. I loved them soo much that I bought a 2nd pair when my 1st pair was ran over by a truck.. I've bought a few different tuned iems since then but the top is still the best sounding to me.

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).

I used Xenn Mangird Tops for years and they were great. I then briefly used Monarch MKIVs and while they’re every bit as excellent as people say, they don’t work well for my ears over longer sessions. I’ve since moved to RSV-MKIIs and they’re all exceptional.

Xenns Mangird Tea Pro’s. I’ve had pairs that are more expensive to significantly more expensive (Tops, Top Pros, Monarch MK4, RS5 MK2 and many others) and they just aren’t any better than the Tea Pro’s. Side grade at best. I’ve been in the hobby of high fidelity audio for a long time and I’ve tried many different headphones and In-ears. A LOT of products are severely overhyped but the Tea Pro’s are one of only a handful of things that I think are as good as everyone says they are and they are very worth their price of $360.
