Hi Everyone! I am considering buying Mangird Tea. Also comparing Legacy 5, Legacy 4 and Fiio FD5 with these. I love bass (mostly listen to EDM - not dubstep so not fast bass but Trap so heavy sub-bass type, and slow vocal songs - mostly hindi with male/female vocals and multiple instruments like guitars, flute etc.) but also love finding micro-details and separation of instruments and their relative position. Sorry I am new to the hi-fi world. Any help would be appreciated. I currently own BGVP DM6 (want to go step up from them) and UE900. I love BGVP for its details and stage but all or most of my EDM drops become too sharp so I cant vibe with it at higher volumes. On lower volumes it is okay. Please help. Thank you in advance!

If EDM is your primary genre of music, and you love bass, the Mangird Tea can play it reasonably well, but it wouldn’t be my top pick for it. I would prefer something like the Urbanfun YBF or the iBasso IT00 for a ton of bass. Of the ones you mentioned, though I personally haven’t heard it yet, based on multiple impressions, the FD5 might be ideal for you.

Totally agree, FD5 would be your cup of tea, but give it some hours to burn it.

Thank you for the response guys! But would I be losing other great qualities using a bass heavy set like FD5? I am not sure if you have it but I have heard it is pretty similar to FH3 (only better). I am willing to lose a bit of bass for overall better details and just a better overall experience. This is why I was leaning towards L5 or Tea (I have heard L4 is brighter so I was avoiding it due to my DM6 sharp treble experience, not sure how they compare).

And from my research I understood that Tea has sub-bass focus which I really miss on DM6, it has the thump but not that "feel" of heavy vibration..... Please correct me if I am wrong.

did you read FD5reviews?

Did you consider UM 3DT?

If you read impressions on the FD5, detail retrieval and resolution are reportedly excellent. The Tea has good resolution, but due to the lower treble dip, you lose some detail retrieval IMO. The Tea has great imaging and instrument separation, but by reports, the FD5 has very impressive soundstage and imaging. Please don’t take anything I say about the FD5 as true, I’m just nudging you in a direction I think will be beneficial. Read reviews, as @Xinlisupreme linked, and also read through this thread.

(I don't want to dissuade this thread's discussion on the Tea, so I'll suggest you head over to either the FD5 thread or one of the more general ones, to discuss other options)

The FD5 addresses a rather broad expanse of the frequency response range, in stock form; but they’re very open to modifications: high purity copper cables, EQ, tips and or high frequency dampening filters.

I’m a weekend bass head, that wants as much micro/macro detail, that my treble sensitive ears can tolerate; so take my feedback with that perspective in mind. . Without knowing if your appreciation for the low end runs parallel to mine, (after the recommended 100 - 200 hr. break in, by FiiO) you may find the FD5 is perfect for your needs. For me a good copper cable was needed, to open the door to the sub-basement, where you can feel the lower frequencies, while not sacrificing the response to the upper frequencies.

Link, links & more links
As @Xinlisupreme suggests, take a gander at the dedicated thread for the FiiO FD5. I would start with one of @Dsnuts initial observations : link
Also, two excellent reviews from forum members: link

You might want to try the IKKO OH1 or OH10. Those are quite well known for their subbass response.

I made a full in-depth written review about the Mangrid Tea!!

I love the sound of them, they are pretty comfy, and I also spent some time to compare them to current competitors

I had It but I suggest to compare it with Reecho insects Awaken and BGVP DM8 (clear type) with a silver cable, BGVP needs silver to have a better clarity

I actualy never had either to be able to compare

While not very similar, there are some similarities that I find interesting.
