I used Xelastecs first (came over as very warm, and in fact I donāt think Xelastecs are well suited to my canals) and Iāve also tried Tenmak Whirlwinds and a generic wider bore silicone tip.
They sounded pretty great with the grooved ones (KZ Starline) and like you I tried the smooth ones next and liked them even more. So far Iām enjoying those, I might try one or two others in time, but these are a good match for the FR I want from the Teas.
Hahahahahaah!!! It has nothing to do with Blon bl03. Maingird Tea are many levels above them. Write nonsense or donāt understand from headphones!!!
Whatās wrong with you?
Show some respect to other members.
Iāll edit that for you my friendā¦
Hahahahahaah!!! It has nothing to do with Blon bl03. Maingird Tea are tuned differently.
I thought there was a sliver of a chance that something was lost in translation, but it turns out youāre just rude (and probably meant to be rude to the person above the one you replied to originally anyway, the post you replied to doesnāt mention Blons).
Whoever you are and for whatever reason youāre like this, I donāt think this is the right community for you, everyone here is making an effort to be polite and helpful to one another.
Try ignoring questions you feel are stupid, and answering the ones you think are not. Thatās all it takes.
Well, after a few tests I have to say that it has a very natural and relaxed sound.
It lacks a bit more bass or sub bass, the Blon 03 is better in that sense. In the tea you can hardly hear the sub bass.
Thatās incorrect. Make sure you have a good seal. The Tea has a sub bass emphasis and actually has fantastic āsub-bassā replay. The Bl-03 generally has a lot more ābassā, but not necessarily āsub bassā.
The Tea has much better imaging and stage and destroys the BL-03 generally in resolution & clarity.
The BL-03 has a very agreeable/fun tuning and coherent sound from being a single dynamic, but is quite sloppy when it comes to technicalities. The BL-03 is an incredible value.
Every IEM enthusiast should have both. They are both benchmarks.
OK, maybe itās the fit. Now I was using a silicone tip from urbanfun. Basically because I like it, no ridges on the sides and not too narrow of a nozzle.
In the tea I see that the ones that come in the box have grooves and they bother me and the others have a very small nozzle.
Maybe Iāll also try the memory tips that are included.
If you donāt have a complete proper seal, bass will be much more difficult to hear.
No offense, only trying to properly describe how the IEM actually sounds for anyone interested in purchasing them. The Mangird Tea is actually exceedingly good at sub bass reproduction and even has good slam due to its DD. Itās actually a sub bass emphasized IEM, but not at all overdone. Itās very tastefully done.
Happy to suggest better tips that will help you with a complete seal as well.
FYIā¦ Foam tips are not recommended for critical listening, only comfort. They will not give you a complete seal hence never allow you to completely hear what your IEM is capable of.
One other aspect of your listening I have to ask about is if youāre listening to music/tracks where you know where the sub bass is and how it should accurately sound to be able to even judge if the IEM is capable of reproducing it?
One of the simplest tracks to test sub bass are the three sub bass hits in this trackā¦ 1st sub bass hits at 1:05.
Big Boi Kill Jill right after the asian female vocal. If you can not hear those three sub bass hits in your IEM, either you have no seal or the IEM isnāt capable of reproducing it.
The Mangird Tea replays this sub bass like a masterā¦
These three sub bass hits should all be extremely powerful and almost overwhelming in their presence. If your equipment can not reproduce them, thereās a serious problem that needs resolving ASAP.
There are lots of headphones and speakers that cannot reproduce the sub bass, especially the second note because it is so low. (thanks goes out to @hawaiibadboy for the test rec)
If youāre new to IEMs, I can also suggest an insertion technique that I learned that has helped me always attain a good seal in my ears.
What I do is I hold the IEM in my left hand, and with my right arm, I reach around my head and grab my left ear with my right hand. I gently tug up on my ear, straightening/opening the inner ear to allow the IEM more space to insert. Then I seat the IEM in my ear and gently release the ear allowing the inner-ear to collapse down on the eartip.
You can have the most impressive IEM on the planet but without a proper seal, it will sound likeā¦
Mangird Tea is a brilliant set. Thats one of the reasons I chose a different signature for my first tribid. I just wanna get back to them! Guess who came on holidays with me 
I found that memory box tips for me are the best.
For those of you who know a lot about iems.
What is the main difference between tips with a wide nozzle and those with a narrow nozzle?
Wide bore tips = more treble
Narrow bore = more bass
Agreed on bass/treble. I find wider bore affects soundstage for the better too, but thatās less for certain, the bass/treble effect are measurably true.
Material can affect sound (foam will absorb some vibrations that silicone might reflect) but within the same material, different hardnesses of silicone will have a much subtler effect.
Length of bore can place the driver closer of further from the ear which can change things like forwardness of mids or harshness of treble sometimes.
And of course how well the shape isolates/fits in your ear can affect bass.
Yeah, they do affect the technicalities but thats not the main difference and I believe that is simply caused by having more/less treble.
But tips are highly personal, so I would take this with a grain of salt. Although most people seem to agree with wider bore = more treble.
I agree on that. Some definite and testable factors like diameter, some very ear/mind specific which wonāt be the same for everybody.
Foam tips also deserve a mention since the material will absorb and reflect different frequencies differently. Though the density of the foam will also effect things slightly differently in how much they reflect vs absorb.
Thank you and one last question. Very brief. Not only focused on magird tea but more general.
I have heard that low impedance iems (less than 32) will eventually degrade if used with powerful sources.
Can you shed some light on this? I want to stretch the life of my iems as much as possible.
Thank you.
Ehm, where did you hear this?
itās fine, donāt worry about it,
Iām using a desktop amp, 6 Watt output power,
with 8 ohm iem,
Thank you, well now itās time to enjoy the iem.
In the end I will use a medium sized silicone tip for durability as it gives me the iem a good fit. The large size makes a good seal but the iem is not well adjusted.
And the intermediate nozzle, neither big nor small (like the stock one from tea) belonging to some Spring
