šŸ”¶ Mangird TEA (6 BA/1DD)

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 Iā€™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 youā€™re talking about the regular B2 :sob:. My B2D has way too much bass imo, itā€™s a little fatiguing. Sound is a bit more ushaped than I like. Vocals donā€™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. Iā€™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 donā€™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 thatā€™s exactly what you want to do, but not whyā€¦ Iā€™d say itā€™s a matter of volume matching the whole spectrum rather than matching any individual frequency.

Thanks, that makes sense. Iā€™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, KATOā€™s FR is whack.

Yeah, the one person who I know got these told me they donā€™t sound good either. Very good on the technical side but the sound signature is super imbalanced apparently. So I guess Iā€™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 itā€™s a strange one :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve been doing that as of late. Iā€™ve been getting rid of stuff I donā€™t use anymore. I spend my time with mostly 1 iem a day, sometimes I switch for reviews and comparitions, but thatā€™s about it. Thatā€™s why Iā€™ve settled on having 4 to 6 iems maximum when end-game reached, with not all of them being expensive (like teas).

With almost 4 times the price :cold_face:

Yeah. Would love to hear it but 1k+ taxes is too much for me to blind on a full ba
