I donât have a fix, but just wanted to say youâre not alone. Iâve had two sets fail, both right side dd. First was fixed under warranty, second is now out of warranty.
Are you still in your warranty period?
i got it on drop and its been less than a year, didnt get any warranty tho but idk if it comes with a warranty
Contact Linsoul. I never had a problem but thatâs not the first time happening around here. Iâm sorry bro 
contacted drop and theres nothing theyâll do sadly
Iâm thinking of getting them repaired with sgaudiohive since itâd only be like $45, I dont think linsoul would do anything since its not something I bought from them

thanks man! 
I finally got a chance to hear how Mangird Tea is like and how it differs from Tripowin Olina (with double filter mod). Special thanks to @nymz , @vald , and @VIVIDICI_111 for sharing their personal experience with Olina, Tea OG, and Tea MK2 and the advice each gave for more insight.
Anyway I consulted, analyzed, reflected on what I liked and not and finally decided to go for Tea OG and pass the Tea MK2. Considerations include preference in how mids sound, my tolerance in peak trebles, and also my preference in âjust enoughâ bass. Imaging, separation, etc I think are minimal in the two iem, at least in my opinion.
This is my noob 1-day impression of Tea OG compared to a 3 week-old Olina on double filter mod which I would like to share with you. Mind you that what I write may be totally wrong, but it just reflects what I felt when I heard the sound.
Source : Macbook Pro
Platform : Apple Music (lossless)
DAC : Lotoo Paw S1
Equalizer profile : none
Effects : none
Volume level equalized is around : Olina 90% = Tea 55-60% (roughly)
Olina sound VS Tea sound :
- (Crazy On You, Heart) Sound is more polite. VS Raw/in your face feeling.
- (Crossing, Yosi Horikawa) Sound is separated but not too exciting(?). Sub bass and mid bass more round like a ball (fuller?). Space is very wide left-right, a little bit of depth back-front. VS Sound is more coherent/more together with mids really prominent. Sub bass is there but itâs like a knee deep (itâs so hard to describe but itâs there but more not as noticable as Olina). Mid bass is more like a 2 dimensional circle with some depth (another weird explanation). Space is more narrow but I donât know why I feel a sense of 3d space more.
- (Bubbles, Hosi Horikawa) Each kind of sound is nicely separated but wasnât as cohesive as Tea. It felt as if each sound was captured in a separate room and time. Sound is enough but a bit thin. VS Sound was more cohesive meaning it was I was in the same position in the same room but someone was bouncing different objects near me. The sound has more body hence it was more convincing as if the real thing is being bounced in front of you. It felt more realistic.
- (Timbres, Yosi Horikawa) Both sounding really nice. Again, sounds on Olina sound nicely separated but it feels that it was recorded at different times and conditions eventhough each sound sounded good. VS Sounds on Tea felt as if all the sounds were cohesive, recorded on the same conditions at the same time hence it really felt continuous. Without feeling whacked on the face or thumped by the impact of bass, it felt that I was kind of whacked or pushed back by impact (more full bodied) without the physical fatigue felt by physical vibration of the bass, so it was nice and ideal for me.
- (General tracks) Trebles are a bit more sharp in Olina VS Trebles were just enough for me on Tea but it really fit the mids and bass and it made me feel like I was there, at the spot the sound was recorded.
- (Shinigami, Kenshi Yonezu) 1st 20 seconds of song: Olina sounds more bright with the shoes dragging on floor sound more recessed than the actual shoes knocking on floor sound. Bass impact on 16th second less than Tea. VS The shoes knocking on floor with dragging shoes sounds more realistic as one continuity. Bass impact at 16th second deeper than Olina. CMIIW regarding what the sound I was referring to if you know what I mean
- (Summer 1, Vivaldi, The Four Seasons, Max Richter) The violin sound is more exciting (a good kind of exaggeration) on Olina. VS The sound of people taking deep breaths in the pauses between notes or some sound like that was more noticable in Tea than in Olina. It was also more detailed (that subtle sound). Treble was a bit lacking (excitement) for strings sound.
Summarized, Xenns Mangird Tea in relation to my audiophile journey after Olina was :
- More realistic sounding.
- Iâm more immersed in the music.
- More in your face exciting vibe.
- Bass a bit more impactful than Olina but not physically tiring for me to listen.
- Treble was more tamed just perfect for my preference in the balance and harmony with level of bass and mids presented.
Iâm satisfied, especially knowing that this is the last unit available at a trusted reseller in my country.
I like it a lot.
Happy.

Anyway I didnât mean to go review-mode like HBB, nymz, Precog and all but I just wanted to share and post my impression in case somebody needs it since iâm so noob at this. Each have their own preferences after all and it was quite confusing how I could get an iem even close to what I wanted.
I had a fun time researching, asking and learning all kinds of stuff.

Hi, first review-ish post on here! Just wanted to share my thoughts.
Mangird Tea Impressions - Refined and Relaxed
1st Day:
- Got these last night, spent about an hour listening.
- First things firstâare they neutral? Most well-regarded or hyped IEMs these days (maybe just most chifi IEMs in general) are opting for âaccurateâ pinna gain a la Moondropâs target. Are the Teaâs accurate? Very much no. Thatâs not a point against themâjust a statement of fact. They do not sound like most of the currently popular chifi IEMs and thus might sound odd to the majority of semi-experienced listeners. This is important to keep in mind.
- So far, Iâd give them one out of two thumbs up. I havenât heard enough to know whether or not theyâre special. They remind me of the Tin T2 with itâs stronger lower mid presenceâat the time that I owned the T2âs, they served as my reference point for âneutral.â The lower contrast on these brings me back to that time. Definitely highlights things in the mix in a way I enjoy, but I no longer consider this signature harmonically accurate. Something sounds wonkyâagain, itâll take time to know whether this is a strong or weak point.
- The bass!!! It comes across so full and textured. Not loose the way it is on the IKKO OH10 or lean the way it is on the Dusk. Not exactly crisp, likely due to that lower contrast and upper harmonics not being emphasized in ways Iâm used to, but itâs so much more satisfying than I expected. Really like the ratio of sub to mid bass. Hard to articulate what the ideal amount of either is relative to each other and to lower mids, but this is hitting close to my preference.
- Very very smooth. BA timbre is in full effect, but the plasticky quality complements the smoothness
2nd Day:
- EQs well. Iâve alternated between stock signature and a high shelf EQ to achieve proper pinna gain. Still sounds very smooth with EQ.
- Not sure I love the squashed dynamics of the stock tuningâmakes them very easy to listen to at all volume levels, but feels like something is missing, especially with percussion.
2 Weeks:
- A little honky. Try sucking out some of the mids around 630 hz and youâll see what I mean. Result of low pinna gain rather than any inconsistency in the mids, but I find it easier to correct with EQ with the aforementioned method than by boosting around 3k etc. Keep in mind this will affect the unique character of the IEMs and change the linearity of the mids. Mid dip is more in-line with the sound of something like the OH-10. Removes honk while keeping these relaxed and warm-ish.
- Best thing about these is the texture of the bass, part of which admittedly comes from the honkiness. However, the honk in combination with the rest of the sig also makes these sound rubbery. You might love it, you might hate it. Iâm experiencing a mixture of both.
- To get that kind of bass texture, I think they have to be tuned inaccurately. When I shape them to sound more like the Dusk (without touching the bass or lower mids), the fullness and ASMR inducing zestiness is gone.
- As per usual, technicals stopped impressing once I became used to these. I think I prefer the sound of the SSRs EQed to the Ety target in almost every way. The SSRs sound more detailed despite the single DD and more satisfying despite having less bass and less texture to them. Perhaps controversial, but I believe that correct tonality emphasizing the right harmonic relationships matters more for producing detail than driver speed.
- Will some love the Teas? Obviously. HBB and Dan do. I really had a good first impression. But I donât love them. Iâm not sure if I like them enough to permanently keep them in my collection. If these sound like, well, your cup of Tea, join the Tea cultâI hope you enjoy them! Iâm giving them 3.5/5 stars for good technical performance and a coherentâif not perfectâtuning. Maybe part of that score comes from the gorgeous design.
Extra Notes:
- Suction effect like with other BAs, rarely even on both sides for me (I donât use foams)
- Use Dusk and OH10 as reference points as I feel theyâre fairly popular and represent signatures that are of use here.
Score: 3.5/5

Welcome, and nice impression 
I think opinions of the Tea changes drastically depending on:
- How loud you listen
- What your library is
- High FR sensitive?
For example, Iâm very sensitive to higher FR but like listening at high volumes. So for me I always hated the pinna gain in the Harman target as it literally kills my ears at higher volumes when it comes to vocals which is why I love that the tea tamed it as well as the treble. This not only allows more room for the midrange, but most importantly allows me to listen at high volumes and immersive myself in the music without my ears bleeding. A majority of my library also consists of vocals, rock, indie/alternative, and slower genres in general that works extremely well with the Tea at high volume. The Dusk and Olina doesnât allow me to fully immersive myself in the music since it has more high-mids and treble.
I definitely agree that the Tea can sound honky in certain tracks along with its BA timbre, but in the end it really depends on the context and what youâre looking for. I prioritize immersion, 3D staging, imaging, vocals, and mids and the Tea ticks all of those boxes for me. I know many many others love the Dusk, but I personally was never a fan of it, and I can see the same logic applied for the Tea as well
I think the closest thing that gives me what the Tea offers AND great timbre/treble air is the Triple-mod Olina, but more on that later this week when the comparison comes out

wait a sec⊠triple mod Olina?
Our libraries, ear tolerance, and preference might be different, but I feel I understand you when you say Tea (especially for me compared to Olina) makes me feel more immersed in the music.
I can maximize the volume and everything still has the same balance but louder. I guess that might mean the graph signature of Tea suits me? Imaging, sound stage, etc I guess is good enough for me. Maybe I can understand more if I had an EJ07 or Oracle (haha, is this some kind of self justification for more??).

B2 filter on top, Olina filter on vent, and foam tips 
So far so good
Edit: New mod with additional Olina filter on top of pre-existing one and stock tips seems to work the best.

I agree with liking being able to listen to it at higher volumes! I just think the tradeoff is it doesnât come across as totally accurate because of that lower gain. For what itâs worth, I enjoy these a good deal more than the Olina and Dusk (which I ALSO am not a fan of!), and my rating is perhaps a little on the low side looking back on the quick review. I got a bit more enjoyment out of them today by piercing the silicone tips Iâm using to get a more even amount of pressure in both ears, which changed the sound more than I expected it would. That rubbery texture I mentioned is one of the things most impacted by different tips, so this difference almost eliminates that problem for me. I think opinions of any IEM change drastically depending on ear shape, fit, tips, etc., so I can see other people having a COMPLETELY different experience than mine with these. Iâm actually considering making these my endgame despite my issues with them, because theyâre light, hit most of my preferences pretty well, have great technicalities, are less fatiguing than other multi-BA sets Iâve tried, and are gorgeous to boot. And, like you said, the immersion factor is one of itâs biggest strengths and something I should have mentioned.
I mostly listen to Electronic, prog/math rock, and classical, so I kind of need a lot of versatility in my daily set.
I think the Olina is wonderful, but something about it is too light and airy for me. Itâs like a fine French pastryâawesome, but Iâm more into cookies.

Another pair I like that has similarly low pinna gain is the BLON BL-03. I didnât love them (or even like them) when I first got them, as they felt claustrophobic and boomy. I donât know what changed, but eventually I grew to love them. Theyâve got their own problems, but that mid dip along with 5k presence that the Tea doesnât have goes a long way toward making them sound natural while allowing for loud/bassy playback. They might not sound ACCURATE in the way the B2s do, but they donât sound weird like the Teas.
For Olina try putting another Olina filter on top of the current one with stock tips. Helps tame the pinna gain and sounds less airy and more weighted.
