I had a confusing moment during prep for Hana 2021 review.

Thought. That does sound a bit better. Enjoying the Hana over my set just a bit on a couple tracks
Black Sabbath
“Sweet Leaf”
bass pulls and drums around 2:36 mark ( bass and drums were spot on.)

and

Fleetwood Mac “Dreams”
Stevie Singing the open:

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?

(No sheen to Stevie’s vocals at “…you want your freeeedom…”)

I had seen them graphed and it’s minimal difference and i was focusing so much for that i got confused which set was in my ears. ( like the Gopro shows I am mostly looking at 55" monitor and not down much) It seemed Hana 2021 resolved a bit better and kick was cleaner.

I actually had Mele in my ear and not Hana.

Haven’t seen a dedicated TA Oracle thread, so I’ll post here also to give credit to BGGAR review that was the “deciding factor” to buy them :smile:
These little toys are simply fenomenal :heart_eyes: cannot put them off my ears. Yes MEST2 are slightly better for technicalities, but man these Oracle have a fantastic tuning, incredibly engaging. Cannot believe these toys are “only” 500$ (well…“only” is referred to the crazy prices I’m seeing around for TOTL)
PS I bought them through amazon.de (I live in EU) for much less than 500€ (a real steal) but unfortunately I see that linsoul store on amazon.de has closed… hopefully it’s just a temporary thing…

How long did you wait for them?

You will review mele? Aren’t you afraid of a “conflict of interests” doing this?

I’d definitely take a video of how designing/tuning an iem works.

I think somewhere very high up in the list should be “I have access to Wagyu beef”

I mainly use headphones but I want to experience the magic of IEMs. Do you think I need both mangird tea and thieaudio oracle or just the oracle will be enough?

Oracle is fantastic if not almost clinical/precise
Mangird TEA is just a touch laid back with a bit more warmth. Just a tad, but that’s part of it’s appeal
