šŸ”¶ Mangird TEA (6 BA/1DD)

I am hearing something that sounds like a subtle noise floor from the Tea. The problem is it seems to be song dependent, which noise floors on sensitive IEMs arenā€™t. The Zen has it everywhere when not on a sufficiently quiet amp.

And I have never had anything have noise on the Qudelix that wasnā€™t in the recording.

Maybe you pick more mid detail since itā€™s a midcentric iem? I dunno, throwing pasta at the wall atm, Iā€™m too used to Teas atm

Itā€™s not noticeable unless comparing to the timeless.

The timeless have a stunning sense of clarity. And what brought this out was a/b testing between dusk, teas and timeless on a random song. The teas were showing what I thought was a texture to the sound. On the timeless and dusk, there is no noise there. The dusk have a different issue with the same segment of the same song.

I donā€™t have my timeless yet with me (itā€™s on the country tho), but the three should be different in their own way.

Definitely, this is more about finding what/how they do things different. So I can identify and explain it with examples.

hi guys :slight_smile: if someone can please tell me how are the vocals on the TEA ? Currently im loving the Mele which are a great set and im looking for something with more detail, little bit more spark and even more forwardness on the vocals. Vocals are the most important thing to me, i need them to be forward, well separated from the instrument, clean and natural, Mele does good job but now im curious about an upgrade around 300$.

thank everyone for every help ! read some on this thread and watch reviews but i still donā€™t know if the TEA are right for me or not :slight_smile:

Vocal detail and presentation are the reason Teas are my favourite iems. You canā€™t go wrong :slight_smile:

Vocals are a highlight. Pentatonix is very very good. Definitely a tea strength. More coming soon (one day!) :wink:

I also love the voices of tea.

hey guys, what kind of discount is a good one for this set? Iā€™m waiting for 11/11 to buy them

Itā€™s only available through Linsoul, so whatever they will have I guess. Iā€™m hoping for anything over 10%.

Thought this post would be of interest to Tea owners / potential buyers: Log into Facebook | Facebook. The OP opened them up.

Key comments:

  • Sounds great but venting an issue (pressure)
  • OP said: they share most of the components of the mofasest trio which is a $500 USD iem
  • Driver flex
  • Insertion variation leads to swings in FR

His is set new?

Seems last batches qc is kinda a mess. Im taking mine out of my rotations and keeping it on a box :joy:

He bought it from another person. Not sure when this set was manufactured. Btw you may find his FR graphs interesting

I saw it. His set is busted. I knew it just from the venting. Same thing as @Dynamic

The right set (same as mine, hbb, etc) :

The bounced one (same as precogs, mrs, etc):

You can easly see what he got by the treble.

RIP Tea, was fun. My pair is getting a glass box in my desk and taken out of the rotation. If I break it Iā€™ll cry. Iā€™ll just used it from time to time to piss on other sets that cost as much as double :joy:

Oh wow, so you think itā€™s actually malfunctioning? The OP still thought they sounded amazing lol

So what I heard isnā€™t what people rave about? Itā€™s not bad, but I agree, it doesnā€™t sound like the crin graph to me. Is the crin graph the one it should be?

They still sound good, just worse. I ve had this theory for a while when people said words like hot and shouty.

Yes. I told ya on the timeless thread. RIP. I saw your video and I had the confirmation when u talked treble

Ill have timeless soon, so ill check it out.

They sound worse from the ā€œinitialā€ batch because they are malfunctioning or there was a change in how Mangird made them?
