I found a driver flex on my right set of the oxygen and sounds more closed in than the left one. Tried swapping cable/left and right ear/left and right cable and i get the same result. I just bought it early last month. Any advice? Tanchjim representative?

Have you tried swapping the mesh filters/dampers? They can get clogged up with moisture and cause dulling of sound on that side or channel imbalance, quite common issue in areas with higher humidity and in some IEMs such as the LZ A6, TRN BA5, KBEAR BElieve.

Not saying it is the issue, but no harm trying it I suppose.

I have a Tanchjim Oxygen too and it is easy to swap the dampers, I think they do come in the packaging or can be bought for a few bucks online. I followed this guide (from Moondrop), but it works the same for the Tanchjim Tanya and Oxygen:

Just be careful when pressing the filter down to remove the original filter, they can drop into the nozzle of the Oxygen (which is empty inside).


Other possibility is driver flex. Then perhaps try other silicone eartips/foam tips to relieve the pressure, or try opening the mouth and pulling up the earlobe during insertion, it may open a bigger diameter in the ear canal so as to reduce driver flex on insertion.

Yes. I changed the filter. And also yes, i suspect it's the driver flex. The problem is, it flexes on the right set only. Left one is flawless. I can clearly hear a distinct futher openness mostly upper harmonic in my left side. And right side sounds more closed. Im currently using symbio tips and i like the overall fit for my ear. It's a bummer if i need to swap to another tips.

Edit; currently trying with smaller tips on my right ear. Let see if it fixes the prob

I know it sounds pretty silly, but close the the hole next to the nozzle with some tape and sucking slightly on the nozzle. It should remove the dent of the diaphragm. Sometimes it works.

Im thinking the rear vent pinhole got clogged. It releases pressure so..

Any solution? :/

Do you mean manually suck from the nozzle?

Put your mouth on the nozzle and suck slightly on it.

Do not do this. It can mess up the frequency response.

The new version of Tanchjim Hana is available now on Shenzhenaudio: https://shenzhenaudio.com/collectio...a-earphone-dynamic-hifi-in-ear-iem-monitoring

Interesting they listened to the community feedback, I'd guess the tuning now would be very similar to Oxygen based on the graph above.



Also, for anyone interested in the Prism, the SZA's rep said it's going to be a hybrid (1DD+2BA).

^I was just about to post this. Thanks!

All you have to do is buy the oxygen filter and replace it on Hana.

Nice, thanks for the graph.

How does the Tanchjim Hana (with 02 filters) sound against the original Tanchjim Oxygen?

I'm not a big fan of bling-bling shells but I'm digging this one.

I think ive settled with the o2 i have. Finally i found a good synergy with foam tips. No issues now but very positive end game worthy at $200. Looking forward for Prism!
