XENNS Mangird Tea Pro Review - 2DD+6BA Hybrid

[@dave91863]

Congrats on the first review of the mangird tea pro, i bought the original mangird tea back in 2015/16 and lost the right earbud after a week, the tea 2 were awesome but i will get the pro i love xenns tuning

[@VortexReviews1]

Cheers and sorry to hear you lost one :(

[@tritrinh6855]

that box is so much nicer than their previous boxes!

[@Grrrr3FKAGrrrrGrrrrGrrrr]

The lining of the lining original Tea box left lint stuck to the tips! This, along with the fact that the supplied balanced cable was useless (due to them being so sensitive), was a real downer for what were the most expensive IEMs I had bought at the time

[@VortexReviews1]

Agreed!

[@gabech2789]

I just got Butterfly 61T 🦋 and some people say it reminds them of the Tea 2 sound 🤷🏻‍♂️ made me click immediately, great review 😃

[@VortexReviews1]

Thanks very much and I saw some impressions of the 61T and it looks decent.

[@TheVeganVicar]

Nice earphones!

[@gabech2789]

@@TheVeganVicar They are very different from everything else I got so looking for to enjoying a different tuning 😁

[@AronAddams7]

One of the IEMs that has this new Meta tuning. I've yet to audition one.

[@TheVeganVicar]

@@AronAddams7, what is a "Meta tuning", and which other earphones feature this tuning?

[@KmtS9]

Nice! This just popped up this week on the online store. Thanks for the review!

[@VortexReviews1]

Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@zeissiez]

When I first saw the graph, I thought it looks very similar to the Softear RSV at the upper register. Then I compared the graphs, and indeed, this looks like a bass boosted RSV. Thanks for the review.

[@VortexReviews1]

Cheers for watching the video.

[@Grrrr3FKAGrrrrGrrrrGrrrr]

I've just 'rediscovered' the original Tea. They had been neglected, sitting in the back of a draw, while I've been using newer earphones. I always loved the sound because it reminded me of really good hifi speakers I've heard from the Dali brand (I wish I had the space and money to collect speakers like I can collect IEMs). I always struggled with comfort until I found the right tips for them/me, Azla Xelastic. It's a shame that the new ones are so big. The issue I still have is that they are so sensitive. I can't use them without the iFi iematch adapter. I ordered them with a balanced cable but had to replace it with a 3.5 right away

[@VortexReviews1]

I am glad you still had them and enjoy!

[@eiroxxar]

Nice review! How would it compare to Hype 4 or Yanyin Cannon 2?

[@VortexReviews1]

Thanks! I have not tried the Hype 4 or Cannon 2 unfortunately.

[@chinmayrasam]

Waiting for the comparison with the Estrella

[@VortexReviews1]

I should hopefully be getting that one.

[@chinmayrasam]

@@VortexReviews1 do review the TapeMod as well.

[@QuackyTV]

Have you listened to the Hype 4 before? If so, how would you stack it up against the Tea Pro regarding bass quality and techs? Looks to be darker than the Hype 4 which is what I'm looking for.

[@VortexReviews1]

I have not tried the Hype 4.

[@jesh879]

Fresh Reviews has done both if you would like to compare. His usage may be a little different, but he has moved on from the Hype 4 as his daily.

[@Hijynx87]

You might reallylike the tea 2, because it's similar to hype 4, but darker than this slightly ( doesn't sound dark, but it scales very well).

[@LandsPlanes]

Hi! Honestly how is compared with Ziigaat Estrella?

[@VortexReviews1]

Hi and they are both very competent to be honest. They both can be a bit "bright" in the lower treble / presence region area.

[@Helmond2017]

I have heard really good things about mangird iems. The only thing thats stopping me from buying is the brand name. - Aful user

[@VortexReviews1]

As long as the name isn't really weird it makes no difference to me what they call it.

[@k.w5804]

Hahaha I love the last part. If a Aful user is calling a brand name bad, it weighs differently lol😂

[@zblus]

What's wrong with Mangrid?

[@Helmond2017]

@@k.w5804 haha you got the joke 🤣

[@arthurmonay3156]

That's an afully good joke !

[@Quo_Audito]

Any chance you will be able to try the Aful P5+2 and compare it to the Tea Pro?

[@VortexReviews1]

Hello and I don't have it on the way and I have not been offered it to review but I will look into it.

[@Quo_Audito]

@VortexReviews1 I appreciate the response, thank you for the amazing reviews!

I have both of those and a penon fan 3 coming. If I remember ill do what I can Also have a hype 4 and ziigaat doscinco for reference incase you have one of those.

I would like to thank you for another wonderful IEM review! Reverend Dr. Thomas, The Vegan Vicar.

[@VortexReviews1]

Thanks so much!

[@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.

[@VortexReviews1]

If it produces the sound then it's fine.

[@enthermusic5999]

Hi! Will be better for films? Estrella, Dusk, Tea Pro?

[@VortexReviews1]

I never tried the Dusk but out of the Tea Pro and Estrella I would go for either to be honest.

[@mr.circus1648]

Hey man, im really looking into the Tea Pro. but not sure if i should buy a gaming headset instead for the same price. what to you think?

[@VortexReviews1]

They are very different. A headset has more functionality but it all depends on what you ultimately want? Which headset?

[@mr.circus1648]

@@VortexReviews1 Im kinda considering the audeze maxwell(open for others), or the tea pro/Kiwi Ears KE4. And what do you mean about funksjonality?

[@VortexReviews1]

@@mr.circus1648 Never tried the Maxwell but it looks good. Ke4 is not my kind of tuning. I mean with functionality is that a headset can do more than a pair of IEMs but it's not as portable.

[@Nucleus2301]

Would you stack this iem up to the doscincos? I have those but I want one more

[@VortexReviews1]

Different tuning but it depends if you have the cash to grab them?

[@markus301]

Betwen xenns top and tea pro which one has better soundstage/imaging?

[@VortexReviews1]

I gave the Top back to the owner a long time ago so I can't compare unfortunately.

[@criticactual]

Hi! An example of next step in technical performance (with good tonality)which Will be?

[@VortexReviews1]

You mean a step beyond this?

[@criticactual]

@@VortexReviews1 yeah

[@VortexReviews1]

@@criticactual To be honest I have not tried that many beyond this price bracket but IO Audio Volare was a nice set.

[@johnnohappening2055]

hey have you compared these to the yanyin canon 2's? if so what are your thoughts between them? thanks!

[@VortexReviews1]

Never tried the Canon 2.

[@johnnohappening2055]

Ah okay ty for replying regardless!

[@Icecold_Art]

How would You stack these against the tea 2 for something like classic rock ballads? Or Mark Knopfler/Dire straits. I currently got the sivga que as a test of not being in iems for more than 12 years and it is mind boggling how good these have become. Now I want to get hybrid iem and i love me good vocals, don’t care that much about the bass. But people say thet all xenns have great soundstage which I do enjoy

[@VortexReviews1]

Stage is good on the Tea and you might like the Tea Pro

[@useful0idiot]

How does heavy metal and rock music sound?

[@VortexReviews1]

Sounds good.

[@karledwards1289]

Have you heard the Xenns UP ? I have it and wondered how the Tea Pro compares.

Different tunings.

Never tried the Hype 4 but Aurora is way more V shaped than this. Tea Pro is better tuned.

how does this compare to the mangird top?
