Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 1)

A triple dynamic driver setup at that ^^ That sounds freakishly interesting, the presentation seems top notch as well.

Read a bit about them, but it seems like it only has two dynamic drivers and a bass reflector, so it’s actually a two driver system… bit disappointing, but hey, if it sounds good in the end it’s not a real problem !

Will you review Oriolus Isabellae? Single DD

I want to see that as well.

Seems like a tanchjim oxygen upgrade.

I probably will since its tuning looks appealing and it’s price is 10x less than the bird.

Awesome video Chris!

The Mangird Tea never really got its own dedicated review video. It was a rant video on how everyone expects a 300 dollar IEM can’t be as good if not better than much more expensive sets. It’s great to see I’m not alone in my love of the Mangird Tea. It is a phenomenal set at any price.

Absolutely, and very timely too. Just bought the Tea for $269 in the sale. :slight_smile: Thanks to Chris for the re-rec. looking forward to hearing them.

Searching for the right combination now of nozzles and switches. lol

I think black nozzle on monitor is my jam. Extremely versatile IEM.

I just got a set today, myself. Got them used but in superb condition. (Lucky me) I’m into gold nozzles and pop, with Final Type E tips. I’ve read about some mods with other nozzles I might try down the road. For now, I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the music. :metal:

I’m not a V shaped guy (pop) but that’s what is pretty cool about the LZA7, you can tune it many different ways. I haven’t spent much time with (pop) active but I can totally see how gold could help to tame the (pop) setting. I will definitely try it.

The LZA7 is no where near my favorite IEM, but for anyone wanting a versatile IEM to help them learn what their tuning preferences are, the LZA7 is a no brainer. This is a great starter IEM especially if you’re not sure what your tuning preferences are.

Do you have the Mangird tea, and if so how would you compare them?

Yes I own the Mangird Tea. I prefer the Mangird Tea.

Looks awesome. I’m waiting for your review while I already got one in my AliExpress shopping cart just waiting… lol

But one question I have for you: It’s all about the sound. Letting aside looks, cable, fit (this is is really important, but…) how does 3x more money when comparing to the BL03 translate to sound improvement? I know this is a subjective question, but would like to ask you…

Thanks, Chris. Have a nice week!!!

Hyped, but must hold back.

If this could do 03’s magic and ā€œmatureā€ the signature, and if fit is good for smaller ears, I’m on board.

By mature sound signature, I’m saying keep the tuning, but bring more detail, maybe a touch of soundstage without sacrificing the presentation. 03’s got TOTL tuning, but it’s like a blunt axe compared to more expensive sets in terms of sound presentation and detail retrieval. Bring some refinement, we’ve got a winner. :ok_hand:

So close…must wait a bit longer

Real late, but for whatever it’s worth, the Thieaudio Monarch is the most comfortable IEM I’ve tried.
