2021-10-28: Impressions
Tanchjim Tanya:
Bass: mid-bass focused, cleaner than most mid-bass focused iems in this price range. The texture is very good though, reminds me of the Sony MH750/755 in that regard. Sub-bass is rolled-off, doesn’t extend that low nor rumble that much, sub-bass texture isn’t that good (average for the price I guess).
Mids: Recessed male vocals but tonality is pretty good due to the warmth. Female vocals neutral and quite good tonality as well.
Treble: 3k is slightly too much for me, as it is a bit peaky for me. But otherwise, it is on the warmer side (due to the bass) and still pretty clean.
Overall: The included accessories are the main reasons to get this iem IMO. But the Tanya itself is actually pretty decent, it reminds me of a mid-bass focused Sony MH755/750.
Audiosense DT600 (30ohm + Tanya filter):
Bass: Sub-bass focused, very clean, tight and fast and texture is very impressive for a BA. Mid-bass can be a bit lacking in quantity though. Extension is good for a BA but doesn’t rumble a lot though.
Mids: neutral, clean with both male and female. Male vocals can lack some warmth though. Female vocals are better than the male, due to the more accurate tonality.
Treble: Energetic, but not particularly peaky, it is on the brighter side though.
Overall: Very good first impressions (with the resistor + filter) and might be my favorite BA iem.
LZ A4 Pro (Red filter, black vent):
Bass: Mid-bass is pretty tight, fast and texture and is elevated. Sub-bass is the focus, but still pretty tight, fast and good texture. There is rumble (although not as much as I would prefer) and extension is good.
Mids: recessed male vocals, and can be a bit unclean, while tonality is good. Female vocals are also a bit recessed and can lack some brightness for the tonality as well as clarity.
Treble: Very warm treble, (can be classified as slightly dark) zero fatigue and not peaky at all. Not very versatile due to this treble, but is more specialized into R&B and works well with rock/metal as well (cymbals can be a bit too tame though).
Overall: Not really a versatile iem like its big brother (A7) (despite it having 12 combinations, most of them are unusable for me though) but can work pretty well for R&B and rock/metal. Although, I am not sure if the price is doing it good, since it is so close to the A7.
Shuoer EJ07M:
Bass: sub-bass is tight, fast and has very good texture as well as fun due to the quantity. Mid-bass is very clean as well with very good texture and fast/tight, quantity is pretty good as well (although more is welcomed). Extension is pretty good and there is rumble but not as much as I prefer (not a basshead iem for sure).
Mids: Male vocals are neutral, clean and has good tonality. Female vocals are more forward and better tonality with very good clarity without being fatiguing.
Treble: Very well-tuned, not peaky nor fatiguing but still plenty of details.
Overall: As I expected (hoped), this is the best one out of the bunch I got recently and tonality wise, it seems to be very fitting for my library. The Dunu EST112 might be in trouble.
