This Planar Is Better Than.... 

Thanks for the review! Merry Christmas Timmy and everyone!

Happy Christmas, Timmy! Thanks for your review! I’m solidly on the planar bandwagon with the Sundaras and Diokos. So, always looking forward to planar reviews.

Merry Christmas Timmy!!

Merry Christmas bro. Keep up your good work.

When I got into fragrances you were my go to reviewer, now that I am getting into IEM, I am glad to see you here!

Hey Tim i think the insertion depth may be the only variable, I considered these and reviewed the information from the manufacturer before passing. See their news release below. "Unlike other HBB collaborations, the Wu Heyday doesn’t change much to its shell design from the Wu Zetian. It still pays homage to the Wu’s Chinese history aesthetic, but it is given a new metal grey aluminum faceplate processed with 5-axis high precision CNC machine. The 14.5 planar drivers is going to be the main focus of this upgrade, now featuring an OCC joint wire for the speaker. this new earphone is a new attempt of the brand to pursue an overall musical but more neutral and balanced sound with a more thick and spacious signature." The upgraded driver is actually about the wire connection. I do prefer the colour.

Can’t wait for mine! It’s on the way :)

Thanks for the review, I was looking for an upgrade from the Arias and this seems to be it. Ordered them today as self gift 🎉

These collabs quickly got out of hand. My wallet can't sustain more damage💸💸💸

Happy festive season Timmy! Q: interesting to see many sub-$250 IEMs offering Modular cables now (S12 Pro, Zeitan Wu Heyday, etc.) do you think this trend will carry over? Also, speculation on future of DSP built-ins like the Quarks?

I love original one. Best 5 of the year for me. So I'm interested in this too! And my name has been corrected. Thank you and Merry Christmas Timmy!

Merry Christmas guys

Merry Christmas Timmy. How would you compare the Wu Zetian Heyday edition to the SeeAudio Yume 2 in terms of tuning and technicalities?

Thanks for the review, when will the 7th Acoustics Supernova IEM review be released?

The cable on these looks stunning! Metal shell is also a massive upgrade over the regular Zetian Wu. Will definitely pick these up on my next payday! And congratulations HBB! Peace and love

I’ve ordered these. But If I’d bought the original I’d feel pretty fed up an improved edition came out so quickly.

Cant tell if its mirrored silver finnish or like a gun metal gray. 🤔 lighting and all. Happy to get this soon and happy for chris, what a blessing. Also what is the song at the ending? Gets stuck in my head..

@gizaudio hey Timmy thank you for another great video! I have the 7 Hz running on an iFi go blu, what DAC/Amp combo would you suggest for best performance? Thanks as always

Merry Christmas Timmy! Yay you put the Wu before Zetian now, nice! However your pronunciation on the Z is still a bit off lol but gd improvement 👍👍 Q: How do you think these do compared to the Aful Performer 5s? Especially since they're pretty close together in terms of price

The og Zetian Wu(don't have this HBB one) is so special...even if the criticisms is right, you either understand it and love it or not 😊 I wouldn't exchange that bass for nothing...I listen right now to Zetian and the og Oracle both so unique 🥂❤️Merry Christmas

Mine arrived today and it's going straight back. The two pins on the right kept sliding out and there was no sound. Awaiting a replacement. Hope this isn't a QC issue.

Hello Timmy, merry xmas! How would you say this compares to the aful p. 5?

Merry Christmas everyone, today I just got my first iem the moondrop chu and it's incredible how good this sounds.

Thank you ! Superb review as usual, I bought the Kato based on your review and I’m really pleased i have used them now for few months and thinking about what my next iem should be? What would you guys recommend if i would like a bit more definition, sound stage and separation is it possible under 500$? I would really appreciate your help and recommendations 😊 Peace ❤

I am very satisfied that you have pronounced "Wu Zetian / 武 则天" almost correctly. -- From a Chinese

I’m gonna have a heyday with this one!

would u rathera buy the z12 or the heyday? i can get the heyday for 200 or the z12 for 130. im leanin towards z12 beacuse i like bass, and dont wanna miss out on the highs, but also really appreciate a natural tuning. i mix music and produce all types of genres, mostly electronic/drum and bass. i also listen to fast jazz so i wanna be able to have detailed cymbals and not muddy mids.i am going to EQ these most likely, so im not sure if the "niche", more abrupt higher freq tuning will be good for that. i do feel EQing with the flatter hey day curve will suit me better but i am not sure. also does the s12 have more fo a soundstage or depth? or is it all perceieved just because of the gain in the higher frequencies? ( which accentuates the width because the higher freq are pushed to the sides way more than mids in mixing)

I want to justify to myself buying these, since I recently got the Hana 2021s, and while I know they're apples to oranges, I still wonder if its worth buying the Zetian since their tuning is similar

I saw that graph the other day and felt a slight deja vu "I've seen this before" Turns out it's eerily similar to the Aria's graph 🤣 Everything will be an Aria in due time, I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Regardless, definitely wanna try both versions 🤔 happy holidays everyone

Heyday vs Performer 5? Edit: spelling

I just got my new Moondrop Kato Dark Blue but now I fall in love in Tangzu too :D They looks so nice

timmy this or blessing 2 (non-dusk)? i do own the non dusk version

how would this compared to blessing 2? which one should I buy, I prefer comfort

I do not think anyone can go wrong with this one , pick one up , and let me state upfront - I just want to be able to enjoy the music , and this fulfill every need with ample to offer without asking for a permission from my Bank A/C - One thing I've found out is that this IEM change quite significant how it perform with change of eartips and it definitely benefit from a more powerful driving unit, that said, I've been out and about and listen to this on the go with my smartphone connected to the Moondrop Dawn and its perfectly doing all fine

The best collab of HBB is and will remain Olina SE. Amazing bang for the buck and way above it! We are waiting for more such projects with a DD from HBB!!! Planars are bad due to timbre and bad FR, bad soundstage and bad layering! Merry Christmas.

Happy Christmas Jimmy! :) I'm guessing this beats also the Kato, Elixir and S12 in that 200€ range. How does it compare to the timeless? Edit: I saw the timeless and S12 comparison *

how do these compare with the performer 5?

How about RAPTGO x HBB HOOK-X compare to this?

What is the music at the end?

I’ve got the OG WU’s ..and they’re pretty good…

Would this IEM be a good option for movies? Or do you have a better recommendation? Thanks!

Have you reviewed the Hook X HBB version?

Nice tip about the tips ;) haha

This was my last iem purchase of 2022 after I thought I was already done. I couldn’t resist. I’m really not expecting it to beat my Timeless but if it does or at least comes close…..😊

When are you gonna reveal that mystery iem?

Timmy and the community, how does this compare to Aful Performer 5? I know, different tuning, different driver but they have a same price point and I'm torn between the two! Help!

Not a planar-to-planar comparison, but Heyday or Hexa?

Plz do a review of KZ PR2

Hi I was about to order the RAPTGO Hook X, I will mainly use it for gaming while also listening to music and entertainment. What do you suggest I should get?

Any issues with the peaks at 8k and the 13k to 15k region being fatiguing at all? Where does your ear gain peak at?Also how does this compare to the AFUL Performer 5 in terms of technical performance? Do you like either signature more than the other?

Looks like what crinacle did to the yume last year

Does a better planar exist now at the same price point or close to it? I gave my Dioko away to a rando stranger I hated them that much LOL

quarks dsp Review next pleeeaasse

lol at how little you said about the hookx, with good reason. I suppose you've got to try and sell some Heydays somehow

Hey Timmy. Heyday or Timeless AE

When Galileo?

Thanks Timmy, this was a valuable review for me as in this planar range I already have the Hook X, S12, Timeless and Dioko. I was wondering if this would be worth a sampling, so now I know, I don't need it. It is unfortunate though that improved versions of these things are coming out so quick, it's like when one of these IEMs comes out, you must wait to see who does what first before you buy. Like S12, Timeless and Hook X all have upgraded versions, not cool. Merry Xmas everyone.

Outro song anyone?

Despite being Chinese, I still can't help pronouncing it as Zetian Wu whenever I'm talking about it in English lol. Also, Merry Christmas Timmy!

Yesss

This vs kato?

Hello Dear Friends !!!!!!!! Can open back IEMs (especially Raptgo Hook x HBB) be SoundStagy and build Images like Sundara or like HarmonicDyne Zeus ? Thank You !!!!!!!! P.S I want to sell big headphones and buy the Raptgo :)

It05 is here....

How does it compare to the Moondrop Kato as an allrounder for all day use? Thanks!

Lol Timmy love the video intro

Under 600€....i want a good iem complete. Good scene, good imaging, tonality... Mangrid Top?

Now I can't decide between this one and Aful 😔😖

You like same IEM like me so i must ask you a question about the truth and why today's drivers or particularly the DD drivers are not for loud listening. Because five years i listen IEM and louder then now when I try first balance outputs 2.5 mm it is a my favorite output louder and in most part it is the truth why all my gear is a balanced and hawe nowadays 4.4 pentacone output but IEM aren't very happy with my level of output and 6 or 7 pairs of IEM in last year or half year just go in clipping or what ever it goes i have problem to find the DD or hybrid like IEM and to sound like i like and too have them like i have T2 frst model four year and changed 7 cables most because of mmc connection they were bad but sometimes cables just go green. Copper has become green in long-term use but T2 works well for the time i can not ...ok only my firs TRN v9p i think for five years have the same drivever faller as i have now with the almost every single DD or Hybrid. Only planar Dioku is capable to handle listening power for now and Hidizs mm2 rear port went is durable enough for me last year and must mention rear and nothing like TRI i3 Pro kbear i thik for i newe have IEM sound like that's pair but have wents at back side and if you put it in my year or if you close wents they not work at all.but they can handle a lot of power and bass performance is incredible more bas and power they sound beter.this is a list of some great sounding and ratings IEM i destroy not with any kind of trays that to doo just listening like always. MELE,OLINA,TIN T5,T3PLUS,KZ ..,MOONDROP ARIA,DUNU VULKAN,AND THE LAST QKZ HBB tuning for this kind of litening by maestro (his way of describing how he turned it)thank if you heard someone have problems like me or not please let me know maybe a problem is in my bad luck or a don't know.

This or Aful Performer 5?

Tangzu Zetian wu 😁 i Like that Name 🥰

when you will show the mistery iem ?i am a brazilian guy by the way i love the channel and really solid and updated ranking list

I’m curious why you list this as your best under $200 IEM when the Pula PA02 is cheaper and you ranked is significantly higher on your big chart (B+/6 vs A-/7.5).

It is better than KZ PR2 for sure

do u miss T2 tim 🥺

I miss Slippery Timmy.

I got the original version for 85 dollars, I think it was a good price

No Timmy, it's pronounced "Woo Tsuh Tien"!

this or AFUL P5?

Loving the classy waifu on the box. YES THE WAIFU IS IMPORTANT

Tangzu X HBB or Moondrop Blessing?

Timmy just demolished every debate on the web, on the correct pronunciation of the brand and this IEM 😂😂 can't wait for unboxing of Mystery S+ IEM.

is there any problem with quark dsp?everything you reviewing not review quark dsp?

Tuning seems nearly identical to Timeless. Not sure a less detailed version of the same tuning is worth spending an extra $200 if you already own Timeless.

Hook-X >

Raptgo HBB is much better

Unpopular opinion on modular cables here: I'd rather the cable be 3.5mm and manufacturers include leather neck straps instead, since the nozzles on most of these are large and the earphones tend to fall of after a short time.

Should i get this or s12 pro ?

Don't buy this iem you'll hate. Avoid the hype

The most overrated iem, no soundstage, clogged sound, no separation or definition Very bad fit

What song in end of the video?
