Me talking about not settling and letting Tangzu get away with the scam

TangZu Audio and Angeldac Audio store on AliExpress agreed to refund my shipping for the misleading sale of the See Audio x Tangzu.

Please think about accepting a budget iem and a set of eartips as compensation for this!

My shipping was $32 Canadian
This should teach Tangzu for cheating consumers.

The “Real Version” has 0.01% of a carbon dusting on the driver and not going to make one smidget of difference.

This IEM is still bieng sold in stores and Tangzu is making money off of cheating you and I.

Don’t settle

Feel free to share.

I have to wonder, are the JVC Spiral Dots ++ are a good combination with the Heydays? Currently on a tip rolling streak lately to try out just to somehow improve an IEMs’ sound, tuning or even comfort.

Joined for FH7s but also curious if there is much of a difference between my Kinda Lava with bass boost and the OG EJ07m

And another +$1k flagship set…they keep coming for ya :dollar:…

It’s not going to be easy to stomach sending that much money to Hiby for an IEM… that’s not where their strength has lain as of yet.

What do you folks think is a fair price for a mint set of og EJ07’s?..

This is a complicated question. But I think around $650 is fine! :sunglasses:

How so? :smile:

So if I can snag that set for say £450 then it should be a good deal?

I’ve always been interested in this set…curiosity killed the cat or at least his bank balance :smiley:

I totally misread mint for mini …. It’s still early, don’t @me. But honestly I’d say 450 is a solid price, even if it isn’t USD.

Aye it be GBP so circa $560 :man_shrugging: and I don’t see many of them on the used market here in the UK.

$560 is a good price. But I think that a new one should not be sold for 800 dollars, that is a very high price. In my opinion, a new one should be priced around $650-700, and a used one at most $500-550. That’s why I said it’s a complicated question! :wink:

So what new sets have the same characteristics of the og EJ07?..I don’t want sets with boosted fq responses (I already have them) in that price point?

7113

I too have always been curious about EJ OG, about that infamous soundstage. But… maybe I will never buy them, because there is no second-hand market for them here, new ones are very expensive.

That’s right. Maybe that’s why they’re holding on to this price.

7115

They may ask more, but I think $500-600 is a good price, with <$500 being a friendly price.

Uk market is mostly either overpriced compared to the US or you get crazy good ebay auction deals on non speaker gear :joy: Availability of second hand stuff is usually pretty bad too :cry:
