[@jesh879]

I would really love to know is this dethrones the Arete as your daily driver. It seems you enjoy the sound a lot.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@jesh879 so I switch between the two. The Arete has a clean analytical sound the remains fun with a punch to the bass that doesn’t make it sound sterile. The tea pro comes off warmer with a different sounding environment in general in game. They are two IEMs that are different enough that they can compliment each other for different listening experiences. Both are at a great level for gaming though, it should boil down to your tuning preferences.

[@jesh879]

@@FreshReviewsYT Thank you so much! That really helps! How do the soundstage shapes compare?

[@syferofsin7530]

I have your Arete collab set; they sound clean and crisp, with great low end, and I definitely enjoy using them for my non-competitive gaming because they still work very well to help me hear PvE enemies around me in detail. Giving me more spacial awareness. I've ordered the Xenns Tea Pro, but they haven't arrived yet. I'm curious if you have any input on how the Tea Pros would perform when plugged into an Xbox controller. I'd like to use them as an alternative to the Arete for gaming, but I'm concerned about their impedance and resistance values. Do you think the Xbox controller would be able to power them sufficiently, or would I be sacrificing too much performance and should just stick to the Arete? Thanks for your awesome videos, and I'm looking forward to what else you have in store!

[@williambrown302]

FYI, in going to Linsoul website for the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro they show a DB/HZ curve that is different than the one in Squig. I was thinking it would be the same, but its different

[@Alex-oj8po]

I know Hunt Showdown isn't as popular as Warzone, but you're really missing out as an audiophile if you aren't playing it. Nothing even comes close when it comes to sound detail and I think it's probably the best game for testing audio gear too as it has such an incredible audio engine

[@julswerdis2721]

I agree

[@Kilokaai2]

Agree, getting into IEMs and currently playing Hunt. Would love to hear some experienced opinions on good IEMs specifically for Hunt, the stage feels a lot better on IEMs than my headphones.

[@Alex-oj8po]

@@Kilokaai2 same here. I got my first non-budget level IEM last year (Canon II) after the glowing review Fresh gave it, but I don't think any of the gaming audio channels specifically play hunt so it's all guesswork. Luckily it's also great in hunt, but i don't really feel like taking that gamble again when I inevitably upgrade

[@alvarg]

I disagree, although I feel the engine is good and the sound is great, it is an open world atmospheric game and although I feel it is an enjoyable experience in terms of sound, it doesn't need the level of separation or layering or depth that other games with potentially worse sound design need in order to be able to pin point enemies around the map.

[@seanner69]

sound is ass in the new update tho... the audio verticality has never been great but it's extra bad now and enemy footsteps so much harder to hear in the distance. people constantly sounding closer than they are compared to pre-update. might have to do with all the vertical terrain and so much more object clutter occluding sounds, not sure, but not a fan of the audio tweaks so far.

[@thedprime-]

Just received my Xenns Mangird Tea Pros and they are WAY WAY better than the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lites. Feel better, sound better. Not even close... Thanks for the reviews. I also recently bought the HD 490 Pro over the heads and they are miles better than my DT 1990 Pros. Thank you for having such a good list.. I feel like I have the best of both now..

[@thedprime-]

@@SuperMaxGaming I have the Stream Deck + XLR dock. Works great.

[@SuperMaxGaming]

@thedprime- awesome. Was thinking of going for that too. Do you get any white noise or issues like that with your tea pros? Asking because the Go xlr mini of mine is terrible that way.

[@thedprime-]

No issues at all, I keep it at like 60-70% when gaming so plenty of power. I replaced my GoXLR with the stream deck + xlr. Works great.

Really enjoy the in depth gameplay going over what sounds you like and etc.

[@Gidrah]

Great an even tougher choice now between this, the Fiio FA19 and Monarch MKIII. Wish there was a place I could test them all in person before buying. Side note I noticed you never really talk about the Xenns Top anymore. Is there a reason you seem to have dropped it?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I gave my pair away a long time ago to a top subscriber

[@TheNEOONE1]

I heard the fa19 is sibilant

[@MasterGunZ]

I had the same dilemma. I went with my gut and got the fiio fa19. It's amazing. Sounds way better then my sennheiser 490. The detail, clarity and imaging is beautiful. I bought mines through Amazon so I could return if I didn't like it. It sounds way better then my dunu vulkans that's on this tier list. I love the switch on the IEM for more bass if your into that. So basically two sounds in one IEM. I'm running mine balance with a XLR cable adapter from hart audio cable to 4.4 pentaconn connection. I powering it with a schiit stack of bifrost 2/jotunheim 2. I'm loving it. I don't use any other headphones anymore. I play alot of battlefield and I can pin point everything. The detail and immersion is amazing. It saved me alot because I know exactly where the enemy is. I can't attest to cod or valorant. Hope this helps

Im currently using the DT 990 Pro and its time to order my first IEM cant wait for it to arrive im so confident that once i use that iem never going back to wear a headphone anymore looks really comfortable and easy to wear for long duration of gaming

[@exorbitantmango200]

I just got mine, and honestly, I feel pretty underwhelmed. I'm currently using a "gaming headset," and when it comes to music, I did notice a bit more clarity, separation, and directionality with these IEMs, but the difference wasn’t mind-blowing-it was more of a subtle improvement. I thought, “That’s neat,” rather than being wowed. For gaming, they provided a lot of detail, but it almost felt like too much at times. My own gunfire often overpowered other sounds in the environment, and I can’t confidently say these were better than my gaming headset overall. It’s disappointing because I’ve heard so much hype about IEMs, watched tons of videos, and was really hoping these would be a big step up-especially since I’ve been wanting to move on from this gaming headset after learning about better audio gear for both music and gaming. Unfortunately, these didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I’ll probably return them tomorrow. If you can, please let me know how they compare to the DT 990 Pro.

Hello i like you videos and explanations. I would like to know which of this 3 you think is the best for call of duty( for imaging, soundstage and mainly footsteps) - xenns tea pro, xenns top or Yanying Canon 2. ???

[@kekoa_tco8622]

Happy to see both Xenns are ranked high and two different price options as well.

[@rag3r17]

Now i'm on a tight budget because of all of my upgrade because of this channel lol. So, what do you think is a good upgrade from SuperMix 4? Arete or Xenns Top/Tea Pro? while also keeping in mind that I like to listen to acoustic to pop to rock music.

[@QuackyTV]

Personally I went from the Supermix 4 to the 61T, waiting for the new pair to arrive. Didn't like the treble on the Supermix 4 but if you like that then you might like the TOP which also offers more mid bass tune vs the supermix while being similar in the treble. Would have tried the Arete but couldn't wait out the pre-order period.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

If you want something that sounds and feels a bit airy with punchy bass the Arete is fire. The tea pro feels a bit warmer and immersive. You’ll notice it almost immediately a and b testing the two. If you like more sub bass the tea pro is an option. All three of those IEMs though are solid upgrades. The Arete is very close to the other two so keep budget in mind

[@rag3r17]

@@FreshReviewsYT thanks for the great insight man! To be honest, it made me harder to decide. I want it also to be immersive (Tea Pro) but with more punch to the bass and a bit airy (Arete) lol. I think i'll give Arete a try.

Hi Fresh. Another great and informative review. For Valorant, would you choose the Arete over the Tea Pro? And both of these would be better than SM4 or Splendor 2 (specifically for only Valorant)? Thanks.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Better than the supermix. The splendor 2 is quite good. The Arete has more of a cleaner profile and clarity within the space. The tea pro is very good. Between the different tiers they’re quite close and you can always choose based on your tuning profile preference.

[@adhdboiiii]

Hi fresh, I’m looking for some advice. In my experience I have tried a couple of iems on a ps5 controller 3.5mm port but have had bad experiences with noise floor/hissing/popping. What do you recommend to combat this if there is something that can be done like a dac or amp or dac/amp I know little to nothing about these devices. Thanks.

@@KaibillKaan bass is very deep. Sub bass rumble is noticeably more present than something like the canon 2. Mids are still present and mid forward. Vocals are fantastic as well. I would just say they don’t pop as much as something like the Arete as a result of the deeper bass. It’s like even keel to drums and upper mid instruments though. The bass in game is exceptionally clean in attack and decay. To me vocals still pop more than something like the hype 4.

However, there are a few things i would love some clarification on first. I am currently using the Truthear Zero's (Blue), and while i love the audio on them, the nozzle is a bit wide for my ear and causes a bit of pain for me, and i just wanted to make sure i will not have that issue with the Supermix 4, as i have not been able to get an exact nozzle size for them online.

Id probably go tea pro. Both are good compliments to the Arete though

[@chrispapa6700]

Thank you for your help.

[@drewb9162]

Love the videos! Trying to get my first IEM. Do you recommend the Simgot EM10 for CS2 or these pairs?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Haven’t tried these in cs2. But generally the tea is better than the em10 in the three titles I tested

[@drewb9162]

What would be the best way to connect IEM´s like this wirelessly to a pc with low latency for gaming? I have cats that love wires ^^

[@Evan-xs8ts]

Scyrox v8? Looks like a lamzu sub brand made a x2h mini but lighter and with 8k out of the box for 60$.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Hoping to have one here soon

[@mbry0000]

what ear tips would you recommend?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Spinfit w1

[@MemoGOMD]

I mainly play warzone and valorant so I’m torn between these and the Areta. Which dac/amp in the range of $150-250 would you recommend for these iems? Thanks!

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I enjoy the topping dx3 pro+. I’ve also used the SMSL c200 which was great but I think they since have some newer models

[@MemoGOMD]

@@FreshReviewsYT thanks and appreciate the quick response!

[@WooweeYT]

How do these compare to the Xenns Top? Worth the extra money for the Top?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Really depends on your tuning preferences at that point

[@jhtongamer3151]

How do you tune the tops what do you mean by this bro ​@FreshReviewsYT

[@RB903X]

Hi Fresh, do you have "loudness equalization" enabled on windows for these IEMs? or just soundcard

[@FreshReviewsYT]

No default windows settings. I have an amp dac i use

Can you pls check INAWAKEN DAWN ?

[@heythereguy9277]

What would you say is the best open back IEM right now? Will be paired with SMSL DO300

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I don’t know of any true open back IEMs

[@heythereguy9277]

@@FreshReviewsYT Sorry I guess I mean't something semi open. I have the Raptgo Hook x's right now.

[@matthabitat]

How does your ranking system account for tier differences? as in the two Xenns IEMs top the midrange list with A rankings, are they on the same-ish level as the A ranked on the high-end list?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@matthabitat no. The list is reformatted and all IEMs are on the specific list

[@johnrambo9441]

I just received my pair today and noticed I can't push the cable's pins all the way into the left IEM, there's about 1mm showing. Would this be an issue? The right side was also tough to push all the way in. I don't want to try push harder in case i damage it.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

As long as you’re getting power out of the IEM you should be ok

[@johnrambo9441]

@@FreshReviewsYT Thank you! Love these by the way, coming from the orchestra lites. Using the stock small eartips and they sound awesome. I tried the SednaEarfit MAX ASMR but they don't seal (size small) , they are fine to begin with but if i was to talk or yawn they end up loosening up. Wish I got to experience them properly!

[@holdenruluked]

In terms of gaming On Rainbow Six Siege, whats your IEM recommendation under $600?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Canon 2

[@JAG3RmanJENSON]

Do you think the ONIX ALPHA XI1 dongle would be good enough to pair with these for gaming or do I need to upgrade to a desktop DAC?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Haven’t tried it personally

[@adriancpm]

Are these IEMs on the smaller side? Been looking for smaller one for comfort

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Medium size I suppose

[@Zepp-]

Hi fresh. I was going to buy tea pro but i found second hand xenns top around 360 dolars. And also i was considering buying hype 4. Which one do you recommend most? For gaming and music ofc.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Still the top

[@Zepp-]

@ I thought that you were going to say tea pro is better than top. Okey than i’m buying top.

[@xxoverkilllxx]

Does the antlion Kumar mic work with it

[@Fey_Aelin_Elentiya]

I always love the reviews that you give because you also give the reviews in terms of gaming so thank you. I currently have the truthear x crin zero and looking for an upgrade. May I know if it is worth the upgrade and is the size larger or smaller that truthear? I am contemplating if I should wait longer for another IEM to come my way or should I upgrade to Mangrid Tea Pro? P.S. Do you have any suggestions for a portable dac amp or its better to get a proper amp/dac?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Better to get a proper amp dac but some portable ones are fine. Depends what you want really. The tea pro is a solid upgrade and should be more ergonomic than the zero

[@Fey_Aelin_Elentiya]

@@FreshReviewsYT Alright! Thank you so much, Fresh!

[@oneill7169]

These or cannon 2? For cod/warzone

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I think these have the slight edge

[@mohamedalrashdi2973]

Question: do you enable windows sonic or dolby atmos? Or you play, listen to music in ur pc without external apps

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@mohamedalrashdi2973 only stereo.

[@mohamedalrashdi2973]

I received the Orchestra lites with topping dx3 pro + on Thursday. Used them for a couple of days, and the directional sound overall is very precise. One issue am having is that gunshots are very loud (pubg) they have a lot of treble. The treble feels a bit annoying ngl hurts my ears. Any advice on eq or something that would help. Or changing dac

[@JohnDoe-dt1sr]

Do you use tuned audio (Art is War tune, etc) when you test for Warzone?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I only test default audio. Only.

[@otg6744]

I know you review for competitive fps gaming, but what do you think for single player story games? I'm not interested in the best iem's for fps but I want the best for story games so I can have the best experience. Do you think that these are good for that and/or better ones than this?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Always better out there but yes these will sound exceptional for that as well

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

I tried using open back headsets but I think my go to rig right now is the mmx 300 pro I like closed back better

[@Ezeeeki]

Are these worth looking into for gaming-related purposes if one already owns the Hype 4.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I think so

[@Benham1]

Would u suggest a goxlr as an alternative to a dac/amp? Thanks

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Good question. I would not personally. I do hear the rogue stuff is a bit better than the goxlr. The problem with a mixer is it just isn't designed solely as an Amp Dac, the internals of most things are just better, even like the topping DX3 Pro+

[@Benham1]

@@FreshReviewsYT ah ok. Coz some people have been telling me to get a goxlr coz I have a dual pc. and I feel like it won’t give me the best sound. I’ll have to check rogue out. I’ve been looking at the dx3pro but it only has line output and no line inputs. I have my eyes on the fiio k9 akm. What has really good reviews and has line in output and line out output . Would you say Fiio k9 akm is a good choice?

[@QuackyTV]

I went from a GoXLR Mini to a Gen 4 Scarlett 2i2 and it made a pretty big noticeable difference in bass emphasis and there is zero background hiss which I personally had with the GoXLR. There’s other solid interfaces to like the SSL2 if you need the XLR input but that topping is a great DAC.

[@Benham1]

@@QuackyTV when the iems come I’ll have to measure the nozzles to see if they would fit. I already do have a large amount of ear tips collection

[@QuackyTV]

@@Benham1 I can tell you they are a bit smaller than the Hype 4 was, more on the medium side, apprently the same as the supermix

[@matthabitat]

How would you compare the imaging and separation on these to say the canon II or monarch mk3?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

To me the imaging is ever so slightly better with respect to depth perception. Slightly. I would say separation picks up some strength as well.

[@connorphillips1478]

does the smsl do400 have good layering and separation or is it worth buying the topping dx9

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I thought it was good. The topping dx3 pro + is great enough for IEMs as well

@@FreshReviewsYT have you tried the fiio k7 and if so do you recommend it or the do400.
