đŸ”¶ Tripowin X BGGAR Mele

  • MIDS mids MIDS mids.
  • Better sub-bass texture but less mid-bass in your face.
  • Overall tuning balance (nothing TOO enphacised but will appear when called)
  • Detail (micro and macro)
  • Stage
  • Imaging
  • Joy
  • Tears

I think they are a nice compliment, since Mele has more mid bass, so you can boom boom when you feel like to. If I had 400USD I’d get Mele, Teas, Apple dongle and tips.

Thank you for your detailed reply. I have the apple dongle already - it made me sell my Fiio M11!! You’ve sold me on the Teas. If there’s any going second hand I’ll be on the look out. It’s only £215 on AliExpress anyway so not overly expensive - relatively anyway

Original question: “What would the teas add over the mele?!”

I approve of everything said here having listened to my Teas for a week now. However, Teas are the first IEM that I figured that burn-ins are a MUST. Tea is also my first (and ENDGAME) hybrid, so I wonder if it’s because of the BA harshness, but I couldn’t stand the Tea the first two days due to the sibilant highs.

Two days later— sound drastically shifted to a more balanced and buttery feel. I also noticed that the Tea have such a low impedance that it doesn’t need any dongles for my phone. In fact, when I pair it with the xDuoo Link, I find it sibilant with Spotify. Turns out the Tea’s are so well tuned that it improves the phone’s output already and no external dac is needed.

Now these are the four horsemen of my Endgame Apocalypse. I am content.

  • Mangird Tea with Final E tips (M)
  • Mele with Spinfit CP145 (L)
  • Blon BL-05s with Final E tips (L)
  • Tin T4 with stock tips that come with Mele (M)

All three latter ones have different sound signatures that I’d like to change up from time to time. Mangird Tea enhances everything from the mids to the highs, and is still the best all-rounder and my personal endgame.

Alright a bit of first impressions
 I feel like I’m gna sound like everyone else
 anyway let’s go:
Disclaimer: my points of references are HD6XX, Blon bl03’s and Thieaudio Legacy 4’s. The L4’s I use on the go and the HD6XX at home, the bl’s don’t get much use.

Tuning is well done as said before resulting in pleasant listening and the best timbre in acoustic guitars I’ve heard thusfar, I need more mental burn-in to get used to the midbass quantity which lacks on my daily drivers- but compared to the blons it’s just many many times tighter and more detailed in this department. The only gripes I could think of, which is not to be expected at this pricepoint because I’m comparing it mostly to the L4’s which are 4 times the price, are the details in the mids - for example in Thom Yorkes Black swan vocals lack compared to the L4’s and the representation of very busy songs making some parts of the bass and lower mids lesser quality but that’s probably because the difference between single dynamic and 1DD 3Ba’s in the legacies. I’m looking forward to trying the set with a fully silver cable, spinfits and a couple of days of mental (and maybe physical) burn-in. Overal at 50 dollars this feels phenomenal- when I compare it to my other equipment it feels it would still be acceptable at a 100 or even 150. Well done!

Have you tried jvc spiral spot tips it help with my p1 reduce the sparkling high?

Nope, and I also don’t have the Tin P1, sorry.

Never heard anything like that until some days ago. You’re the 3rd person telling that. Wonder if Mangird changed Tea sauce or it’s just a batch.

Mangird is discribed as DARK.

Just hope they didn’t fucked it up.

Did the tea use to be mmcx and they change it to 2 pin?

Yes, HBB got the MMCX model.

Or maybe because I had zero experience with BA before?
But that was the reason I was pushing my Tea impression later than first received.

No, I really mean that. Look at peaks as well. I’m not doubting you, it’s just
 strange. Really hoping Mangird doesn’t f*ck up.

Yes. They changed it to 2pin. December last year they also did a revision. Changed box, cable (to worse) and Vents (better now - bigger vent to fix for suction problems)

Everything’s good now LUL
I think the tips I used from the start might have played into this; I was using the wide-bore tips that came with Mele to try to get all the details. Was wowed by the first impression, then started to get piercing on the 2nd day, then tip roll from day 3, and Perfection at day 4.

Something like that :joy:

Pretty close to my experience. I changed the tips a day earlier.

The moment I got the box of ear tips out was listening to Babe I’m Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin and the repeated cymbal strikes during the chorus. Once I switched away from the stock tips that wasn’t so harsh. It needed something to pull the treble back just a bit, which wasn’t what I was expecting.

After trying out a few tips, I am using Final Series E right now, which is working very well, but I have a pair of CP145 coming that I want to try too.

YES, do a tip roll. For me the Final E is the best, CP145 doesn’t maintain that much detail for me but it’s pretty close to the Final E. Then again, everyone’s hearing and ear canals are built different so always good to try when can

Yes that is why you have to roll tips. I find the cp 145 superior to final e but all ours ears are different. I have had final e on and felt it was congested and to dark. That is just my findings. The fact in all fairness I never end up using finals. They are always a bridesmaid never the bride.
