TANGZU Wan'er S.G Review - Another Top Budget Performer 

Like you, I got along with this tuning. I do think it will generally appeal to a wider group of people with that bass level. Just opens up more genres than the other leaner sets. But lots of great sets, just need to find the one that matches your preferences.

I've just received the Kiiboom Allure, although it's at $99, considerably more than the Wan'er, it's now my second favourite IEM I've heard, although the IEM's that I have heard are pretty limited to mostly well under $100.. But I've recently auditioned and reviewed the Performer 5, and that is my current number 1, granted I haven't heard anything else in that price range, but I put it as my favourite of what I have been able to get my hands on.. And honestly I don't think the Allure falls too far behind the Performer 5, at least for the resolution of a single driver Vs a hybrid as well tuned as the Performer 5..

What is the name of the upcoming set, i want to wait too

@@jojolasti2416 tanchjim zero is also a very good set (especially after mod). Driver is more detailed and handle complex tracks better than the 7hz 0. Its a better quality driver imo.

Funny, I thought it was surprising. In that price bracket, there isn't one best set, but the one that is closest to your preferences for your library. I get why people love Zero, but it doesn't match everyone's preferences and libraries that need a bit more mid bass. Glad it worked out

Exactly, its another set where there may be a couple nitpicks, but the tuning has a wide appeal. Sometimes that is more important than the $20usd set with the best details or other specific characteristic.

Thanks, easy review when the set is great. I was just listening to it yesterday.

@@PaulWasabii i will get to meet my waner today❤

Thanks, will do!

Good to know. As I said, I think the tuner made some good choices that will appeal to a wide audience. Thank you

What do you mean by monitor? I know they’re obviously totally different things (headphones vs IEMs) but how do they compare? I’ve just ordered a set of these Tangzus and curious what to expect

Yeah, it has very nice tuning and general appeal. Sometimes that becomes harder to find in more expensive sets which are more specialized in tuning. Tangzu did a very nice job on it.

@@PaulWasabii Do you use different cables and tips for your tangzu (or honestly any of your IEMS, including your go tos) for better comfort and perf.?

@@PaulWasabii any other budget iems that can compare with this? I really enjoy it

yep, Wan'er started out as a sleeper and then caught on as more people listened to it. It is noticeable if you listen to Wan'er vs some other sets with similar graphs like C3. Close, but Wan'er is more of an experience for me.

@@PaulWasabii Your target graph + Crin's Neutral target graph... are my go-to default reference target graph. Dare I say... the Paul Wasabii target graph is THE better Harman target!✨👍 Thanks for the solid rec! 💎✨👍

As I said, not perfect stage, a bit in your face but I think tips will help that too. Tuning, you can look at the graph, it is close to a few sets and they didn't mess it up. If you aren't in a hurry, wait for the holiday sales and save a few dollars.

@@PaulWasabii Already bought it! Now I gotta wait two weeks. 😌

@@PaulWasabii any tip recommendations?

The only issue I had with KB07 was if you push the shell in to your ear, the tip might block the vent. If it sounds weird, try different tips.

Lately I use NiceHCK RedAg, BlackCat, or BlackSoul. The first two were $12usd-ish during sales. I do like the RedAg though, sleeved 2 core and you can get it in QDC. Not everyone agrees but I like it.

You got it, QDC.

​@@PaulWasabii eartips fits very tightly and securely over the nozzle?

Exactly, it is well done and more appealing than other sets. I think people are starting to talk about it again, but I thought it was a great set of tuning tidbits in a very affordable set.

Yeah, and the reason is the level at 2-5k. To be honest, it probably stages better at lower volume so if that is you, then Zero is fine. When the other half of impressions say Zero is a bit bright and lean, that is going to flatten the stage. That happens at higher volume. Also more noticeable on vocals so again, your film scores may be fine on Zero. Wan'er is more of a general purpose set with a bit more mid bass for weight and less 2-4k to allow higher volume.

So Salnotes is your leaner set, Wan'er has a bit more bass, then CRA+, then QKZxHBB. If you want to hear bass at both ends of the spectrum, then QKZxHBB. They are all fine sets, just preferences

Wan'er is up there simply because the signature appeals to a wide range of music and I will usually take a more relaxed set of one that might be more technical but long term fatiguing. My Cadenza has not arrived but I'd bet that is up there too. Tinhifi C2, ok but brighter. For more mid bass, one of the KZ models, CRA+ or EDA Balanced. Each sub $35usd set has a tradeoff but Wan'er was a nice middle-of-the-road tuning.

@@PaulWasabii what about truthear hola?

AS16 Pro is tough as it is a large shell. It doesn't bother me, but I noticed some complaints. As a daily driver, I still prefer Wan'er's bass shelf to EDA balanced. My daily driver, long session sets tend to lean more relaxed like Wan'er but if you want just a bit more energy, that is EDA balanced.

Wan'er is a good choice actually. Kiwi Ears Cadenza and KZ D-Fi would be second choices.

Better is relative. If you purchased Wan'er or KZ EDA, you would be doing well. I think Wan'er may be more affordable though.

Depends on how picky you want to be on the bass which is one of differentiators of the two. Some people's libraries need a bit more like Wan'er, others may not notice and the two sound similar as you said. Both are very nice sets.

Yep, the $20usd price point isn't as much about the best set but rather the best set for your preferences and library. Initial feedback on C2 and C3 says they are going to be nice sets but mine have not arrived yet.
