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.
