🔶 Mangird TEA (6 BA/1DD)

lemon07r · September 22, 2021, 10:01am

I hope you’re talking about the regular B2 . 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:

Cameleon30 · September 22, 2021, 11:56pm

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?

S_Coon · September 23, 2021, 12:10am

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.

lemon07r · September 23, 2021, 5:22am

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.

Rainlynd · September 23, 2021, 5:24am

Most likely FP, KATO’s FR is whack.

lemon07r · September 23, 2021, 5:27am

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?

Rainlynd · September 23, 2021, 5:29am

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

nymz · September 23, 2021, 6:19am

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

Cameleon30 · September 23, 2021, 6:29am

Hopefully I can get the Tea for a decent price during 11/11…Patienceeeee

nymz · September 23, 2021, 6:30am

I envy your patience and I think you will

K4sh1ma · September 23, 2021, 7:48am

Starts contemplating on selling on whatever IEMs I have to get the Teas

nymz · September 23, 2021, 7:54am

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

nymz · September 23, 2021, 7:55am

Next TEA (1k USD)

Rainlynd · September 23, 2021, 8:36am

With almost 4 times the price

nymz · September 23, 2021, 8:50am

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

lemon07r · September 23, 2021, 10:49am

You should get the kbear believe, they’re tuned exactly like that
