🔶 Mangird TEA (6 BA/1DD)

[Resolution]

@IEMusic

I don’t think Mangird is a specific Linsoul brand. They are sold in China by other retailers, but I believe Linsoul is the main one selling it worldwide. I think you can purchase Mangird products in Taobao.

With my conversations with Linsoul representatives, they seem to think “Mangird” is an in-house brand.

Hi Guys, I’m torn between getting the mangird tea and fiio fh7 (used for around $300)… If you can only have one which will you get? Does 6BA and 4BA spell a lot of difference in terms of sound separation, details or sound staging? Thanks🙂

You’d be fine with either one. I don’t have the Tea but I have the FH7. There was a comparison between the two earlier in this thread. Neither of these sets seem to have glaring flaws, so it all comes down to preferences. The FH7 has some more treble emphasis than you might like, and the Tea might have more mids than you’d care for. The FH7 is quite energetic and detailed while the Tea seems to be smoother and easier going. As long as that used FH7 is in good condition, I’d say it should come down to which looks better to you and which might be closer to your preferences.

The FH7 has some more treble emphasis than you might like

Is this typical for FiiO? FH3 is the only one I’ve had/heard so far, and there is definitely a treble edge(using Spiral Dot tips, at least. I’ve heard the stock black tips soften treble and +bass). It’s not too bad, though, and absolutely amazing sound for $129.

The FH7 has the most boosted treble of all the hybrids. The FH7 has nozzle filters that help to tame the treble to taste but not by much.

Can you hear any hiss sound when connected to 4.4mm with the mangird? Hip dac is known to cause hiss sounds on some iems.

[Bmn1251]

No, I’ve never heard hiss on the hip dac with anything ive tried on it

How are these in terms of venting? I don’t see any holes on the inside on the pictures. Since they have a DD I’d assume they are vented. Makes me worry since I have this BA iem that isn’t vented and it creates a vacuum in my ear.

[Flatlander3kgt]

They have a single vent on top, near the 2-pin connector. I don’t own them, but they are shown on these video reviews -

I recently had to return my Tea to Linsoul under warranty. They’ve shipped me the updated version. Pretty nice improvements. There’s now a lip on the nozzles so tips won’t be coming off anytime soon. The vents have moved slightly. I like the new style case. And I don’t know about you guys, but I really like the cable that’s included with this set. Enjoying the update to this set.

Any sound differences? I guess you cant remember the old sound 100% though…

[stankyfanky]

I don’t think so. If you didn’t like the original Tea, this version will not change your mind. I also realised that the shape of the faceplate is more flat and less rounded than original, so they don’t protrude as much.

UGH, do I need to buy a second now? Love the Tea.

If I may ask… what was the problem with them that required a return?

[Flatlander3kgt]

Well… I just purchased a used set this morning. Appears to be the latest iteration.

comparison with other iems please,
thank you,

Do you want pictures of the Mangird and other IEMs for comparison or explanations of how the Mangird Tea sounds to other IEMs?

I took a bunch of pictures of the Mangird Tea and other IEMs for Riku in some thread. I’ll try finding it and linking it here for you.

[1] The Mangird Tea is very small, but it inserts quite deep into the ear canal so you will possibly need to go with smaller sized tips. The ISN H40 is about the size of the Monarch. I can take pictures for comparison if anyone wants them.

We need to know what IEMs you want the Tea compared too visual or audio.

I ordered the Tea from Linsoul in December and received the newer version in January. Sadly, the rigjt-hand side DD failed. They’re on their way back to Linsoul for replacement. It’s going to be a long wait.

Tea are my most capable (and $$) set. They create a sense of space and separation that’s addicting. I’m admittedly not a huge Aerosmith fan, but they deserve a shout out for the mix in Sweet Emotion. The way Tea presents this song is rediculously deep. If you have the Tea, check it out.

Tea mids are glorious (for me) with lots of detail and no in-your-face glare. It’s easy to crank the volume and not get fatigued. Bass is likely correct, but I bump it 2 db usually. Overall, I love them.

I’m with ya…

I’ve not heard Peter Green’s Albatross as lush and detailed, as I have with these.

Anyone who thinks the Teas are weak in sub-bass/bass… a listen to Lovebirds, Dove Sei (Original Deep Mix) will confirm otherwise. And any Billie Eilish as well, they go deep and tight.

Acoustic guitar - Nils Lofgren, Acoustic Live, Keith Don’t Go… it’s ALL there.

Helen Merill, Helen Merill, What’s New… at 1:16 there is no S-sibilance. All my sub $100 sets, it’s there. Not the Tea.

[Flatlander3kgt]

Now I know why you have these at A+ on your list. Lapping up all of Zeppelin II tonight.

The Blon 01 is good… but these Teas give an impeccably accurate playback. Whoa, and Whoa.

@Strifeff7

comparison with other iems please,

Blon 01 - $20, Tripowin TC-01 - $50, Shozy 1.1 - $75, iBasso IT01 - $85

Mangird Tea - $230 and worth every penny. I’m done.
