Tanchjim ORIGIN - A In-depth Review

[@Alxtorr77]

HBB do great marketing telling people that olina is similar to the oxygen..but olina is not near the oxygen in any aspect.. Don't understand the revision theme... It's normal for companies to do that without telling people, but I'm owner of a 3 and 1 years old oxygen.. It's practically the same... Don't know if the new stock it's different to the 4 or 5 years ago model.. The Origin is really an improvement over the oxigen..really special iem.

[@tonedeafmonk]

Glad you like it for a chill iem on a warm source I can see the love.

[@Alxtorr77]

@@tonedeafmonk I think you get a faulty one... My unit make me sold the entire simgot family and forget about the dunu one.. As a single DD hobbist can tell you that the origin is one of the best if not the best single DD under 500USD. Can't remember another single DD under that price near this one.. But saw some people in love with the origin and others not.. That's normally preference..

[@GuavaJuiceBane]

Collabs are 💩 and straight-up 🗑.

[@Greg.Siucrazyforaudio2016]

I don't like the Olina se , it's lack of open sound and no energy,not sparkly , I don't see why people do like them , these days hbb timmy these reviewers are getting misleading, s12 Galileo, never sound good to me, even the cheap Blon 03 wins those iems by miles.

[@bunjidogg]

Have come to enjoy and respect your reviews, but strange that every other reviewer seems to love the Origin, many are blown away, yet you hate it. Bad experience with company maybe?

[@tonedeafmonk]

Nope, to me, it offers no value, and I don't feel the need to hype something and be worried that if I dont, the next sample won't be coming my way.

[@Greg.Siucrazyforaudio2016]

HBB Colaboratiion with those companies, so no doubt he speaks for them in a good way ! very misleading including Timmy.

[@jag0937eb]

They are all shills, it's all about the money. They know that people can't test to see or hear how good or bad these products are so the only option they have is to take their word for it. Then they lie and bullshit people to increase sales for any particular product or manufacturer they get kick backs from.

[@interstellar4660]

For me the magic of the oxygen wasn't the technicalities or resolution. It was somet kind of sound reverbation it added around vocals that made it sound very natural and stand out from rest of the sound. Never found that in any other iem. If Origin has that it's a win for me irrespective of what it's other capabilities are. Ordered the Origin and waiting for it. Hope I don't have the same experience as you.

[@tonedeafmonk]

I hope so too 🙏

[@oN_eXcuses]

THE TANCHJIM ORIGIN EXISTS BECAUSE😮! THE ORIGIN EXIST BECAUSE😮! Good question, why does the Tanchjim Origin exist🤷?

[@IE-Gems]

Great review, mate! Just want to flex that your voice sounds so good from my chain with Symphonium Crimson :)) Catch up with you online soon

[@tkachenko9584]

I would rather watch one review like this than 50 regular shittalk reviews. Really like this in-touch-with-reality approach when you don't suppose that people have infinite money. Great content!

[@tonedeafmonk]

Thank you much 🙏

[@ticoss]

It's not because one guy say the opposite to the other that he's automatically wright. It's TDM opinion, with his preferences. For me in this review, the only point where he is somewhat right is on the price, too high compared to the competition

[@Daniel-lq5qq]

Sound Rhyme dte 900 vs Oracle MK1 for vocals which has more powerful emotional vocals?

[@tonedeafmonk]

DTE900 with more upper mids wins

[@rahulbanerjee6652]

try IKKO OH5 asgard

[@Voider6211]

I saw an insane deal for the EA500LM on Aliexpress during the Spring sale for like $70 and I picked one up. They sound great! Absolute steal.

[@tonedeafmonk]

Nice it really is some amazing drivers in there

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

I CANNOT wait for the Tanchjim Solos to come out!!!

[@munter68]

Another very good review, Monk! Keep it up! Wonder, if you ´ve ever come across listening to IMR acoustics stuff. They´ve some of the best bass tunings to my ears, also in single dynamic models.

[@tonedeafmonk]

Thanks so much. No never listed to one of thiers IMR seems to get lots of controversy

[@mrdrwdry]

Thanks for info. Great content! Appreciate it!

[@Jaytiss]

Thanks for your thoughts. Great content!

[@tonedeafmonk]

Thanks Jay!

[@moonsofjupiter]

This iem isn’t for me but I loved that your first track listened to was from Massive Attack's 100th Window album. One of the best. Try the song Dreamsters from Tipper to test iems , you're in for a treat to judge bass and treble.

[@anatol1204]

I don t lnow i would like to buy LM but the 5khz frightenes me

[@tonedeafmonk]

But the tuning kit $2 problem solved

[@marcusbryant2007]

well said. thanks for the review

[@shakilmohammad9731]

Brother one last question. Which one in your opinion between EA500 LM and OD200 oriveti is better iem sonically

[@tonedeafmonk]

For me OD200

[@Greg.Siucrazyforaudio2016]

Do the OD200 worth the price ? EA500 for the quality and price is a safer buy IMO !

[@someoneusa]

A 'Drunk Monk' review series would be epic! 🍻

[@tonedeafmonk]

Most excellent idea

[@someoneusa]

@@tonedeafmonk hell ya!

[@choydeliverer7162]

those wordings used on their marketing is so funny to me. While I do understand and appreciate the technology descriptions, I prefer product marketing more digestible for the majority of people.

[@tonedeafmonk]

It's all marketing speak I love it and hate it. But darm it's fun to poke fun at.

[@igorzovko5854]

100% agree with you.

[@DaddyYanToTe]

Thanks for the review, I demo origin for 20 minutes together with BQEZY wind and RoseTechnics quiet sea and totally agreed what u said🤓. Although it is smooth & have good imaging,just two words to describe origin “freaking trash “ for the price 😁

[@tonedeafmonk]

Yes should be same price or less than EA500

[@badooasu9406]

tanchjim is rip off version of kz since the beginning, remember the tanchim blues?, even earlier product they produced always under delivered, they now tried to live under dsp shabang and one hit wonder nostalgia of the oxygen. their shitty attitute drove away collaboration with moondrop like they are a a first tier company with full of arrogant people

[@daddychunk]

Brilliant honest review I've always wanted the oxygen but felt it was too old, i would have definitely gone with the Origin but i think ill pass now thankyou TDM 👍 Tbh that cable is shocking at this price!
