šŸ”¶ Mangird TEA (6 BA/1DD)

I think I saw you talking about receiving the Falcon pros on headfi. How they holding up against the Oxygen, tea, etc?

Will find out in a few days.

Totally fair.

At this point I’m not even sure how my preferences necessarily compare to how audio products are described and reviewed. By descriptions, I thought I would like the Tea better than the B2, but I don’t. I thought from descriptions I would like the Sundara better than the HD660S, but I don’t. Guess it just goes to show in the end you can only go by your own ears.

Yes. Mine is subjective. You have to trust your ears. Graphs are useful when you have experience with multiple IEMs.

About the 300 bracket, this just came up

Just got my B2D in. Impressions here Moondrop in-ear monitors Impressions Thread | Page 674 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

I’m wondering if I’d like the Tea more or something like the Oxygen or Timeless 7hz going from the dusk and starfields. There’s also the falcon pro to consider too now that some people have their hands in them. I have my Kato still on order so I’ll find out if I like those soonish I guess but if anyone is convincing enough maybe I cancel the order for something else. Someone did put up a YouTube review of the KATO but it didn’t make any sense to me lmao

Judging by your description on that post, Mangird Tea.

I should get a copy paste by now :joy:

In addition, many audiophiles appreciate more bass than what the Blessing 2 delivers.

The Blessing 2 graph looks quite bass anemic, but to me, it sounds better than the graph looks.

Now that I’ve found the Spinfit CP155, all my Moondrop hybrids fit like a glove.

I still prefer the Tea to the Blessing 2, but both I feel are fantastic IEMs that punch far above their price points and have both become legendary.

I hope you’re talking about the regular B2 :sob:. My B2D has way too much bass imo, it’s a little fatiguing. Sound is a bit more ushaped than I like. Vocals don’t sound too great to me either.

I wish I had money to throw. I would buy the oxygen, tea, Kato, falcon pro and timeless 7hz to see if I can finally find iems I like more than the starfields.

I would have never gone down this rabbit hole if I knew it was gonna be so hard to find better iems than the starfields. I’m like a grand in at this point I think.

The reason I said Mangird Tea is because you clearly wanna avoid sharp treble. Everything is balanced out.

Neither O2, B2 will help you with. I doubt Kato will help with that as well. Also would avoid FP with your bass preferences.

We told you that B2 and O2 will pierce your ears :))) Grab Tea and don’t think so much.

Yes. I am talking about the Blessing 2.

My impressions over at the Mele thread:

Would it make sense to normalize the Tea FR at 100/200Hz to make it a more fair comparison with other IEMs?
For example, below I compare Tea to O2 and I raised the TEA frequency by 4dB so it matches the O2 at both 100Hz and 200Hz. We can see clearly that the TEA has more sub-bass and more mids and clean low treble.
Does this make any sense?

I think that’s exactly what you want to do, but not why… I’d say it’s a matter of volume matching the whole spectrum rather than matching any individual frequency.

Thanks, that makes sense. I’m mostly set on the tea at this point. Just going to wait for the final verdicts on the falcon pro and Kato first.

Most likely FP, KATO’s FR is whack.

Yeah, the one person who I know got these told me they don’t sound good either. Very good on the technical side but the sound signature is super imbalanced apparently. So I guess I’m between the mangird tea and falcon pro?

Yes, FP is for rock/metal library while Tea has better technicalities and suits more genres.

Yes. Play with it, explore. Even before i knew ehat was what, I pressed all the buttons just to see what happened. Tea got me into graphs because of it. Its very hard to explain Teas by words and a graph because it’s a strange one :slight_smile:
