Q: Why your video in ppt form? 3rd grade?
A: Due to my poorly spoken English and laziness in retaking videos, I just take some photos out of my phone and call it a day.
Q: What is your dac/amp?
A: Topping E30ii + L30ii / Onkyo DP-X1A / Moonriver 2 / Apple Dongle / Focusrite 2i2
Q: Do you have song list for earphones/headphones testing?
A: Technically yes, but usually I just listen to what I feel like at that moment. And this time, I just use it to do everything, and treat it as one of my daily drivers.
Q: Your earphones collection / music taste sucks.
A: That's a fact.
Free free to ask for comparison among earphones that I own, I will try to answer as a filthy casual :)

I don't need the IEM, but might as well get it just for that white worm it comes with, hehe

[@hilmyakatsuki1665]

cable of zero 2 is actually good. It doesn't break soon unlike many iem cable comes with $80 cable lol. it may feel cheap but as legends goes- don't judge the cable by its looks

[@kimiko1302]

Would be cool to see another budget ~$20 IEMs when the Tangzu Wan’er studio version comes out tbh… Anyways nice quick review! I might buy this because of the cable everyone was praising and the tuning (seems almost the same as the 7hz Zero in my view)

[@tarcisiofilho5663]

Now I'm curious about the Studio 4

[@Eyal-kezh]

is kiwi ear cadenza is better than gate (pls tell (ㅅ´ ˘ `))

[@catadegen]

@@Eyal-kezh build wise, yes, sound wise, different I’d say.

[@Eyal-kezh]

@ got it, thanks a lot man

[@bnd-n3e]

which one would u recommend for fps games and music, the chu 2 or this?

[@catadegen]

fps wise, gate, music wise, depends, chu 2 has better technicality.

[@bnd-n3e]

@@catadegen what about qkz x hbb?

[@catadegen]

@@bnd-n3e Never owned a set, won't comment.

[@FidelisAkilan-nu6vm]

Looks cool.. How is the comfort of this, I miss the size comparison between other iems

[@catadegen]

it's a fair size, slightly bigger than chu2, but smaller than zero2.

[@mistaBorg]

this review felt very rushed, other reviewers mentioned things about the previous hola this replaced, or how the tuning felt weird in the treble...but i guess its not an arguement for a 19 dollar iem... in a good note i feel like this iem can be easily modded, like printing a faceplate for it or painting on it...

[@catadegen]

Never a proper review. JK, in fact I bought this thing at $16.14, and all the comparison regarding sound, is summarized in those 2 sentence comparison with chu2 and zero2 already, depending on how you'd interpret. Of course I can nitpick like a shitty food critic, but I won't do that. If fast food taste good, it tastes good. That's it. Sorry to disappoint you tho.

[@mistaBorg]

@@catadegen i didnt mean the review is disappointing, its just that i would have like to know more and i was hoping to see your commentary after the review on the generated images depicting the iem.

[@Mixail747]

I actually liked it a lot, the opposite of the usual bloated and rambly reviews, very much down to the chase with a brief straightforward comparison to its peers.

[@catadegen]

@@mistaBorg I've thought to do it the normal way, but it's hard for this one (cables/pouch overshadowing the driver). More like the iem shows the limit of entry DD driver already, well tuned with impressive micro details that can kick up into the TE zeros territory, but macro detail (grand dynamic wise), it's really not something that I can ask for, especially for the price. Timbre wise, it's better than Hola for sure, but because of how balanced or correct this set sound, it lacks the dark charm point of Hola. It's always a give and take between all the entry sets. And Gate is the middle one I'd say. Given that sound wise it behaves like that, but with better cable & pouch, that people can easily see and count for, that's why the video went like that.
