So Jude covered the Moondrop A8 and Tanchjim Oxygen as good examples of IEMs following the Harman-Target.

Apparently, for him, A8 has an overall more natural sound and Oxygen a bit more tactile bass. Fit-wise A8 is more friendly compared to the shallow Oxygen fit but both are extremely good value.

I just don't get how such a di, single dynamic driver, for less than $300, can be so damn good. I'm currently researching an aftermarket cable to use. But I have to say the stock one, as much as some say they think it's cheap, sounds pretty good to me. I tried swapping out for the Moondrop KPE cable, and it significantly boxed in the sound.

Radiohead's "Ill Wind" sounds amazing on the O2.
While the stock cable *sounds fine, it's a bit fiddly. I get this upgraded cable for all my lower-end "keepers," and it works a treat on the Oxygens:

If you want a great balanced cable, catch this one on sale for $70 in a couple of days. It looks great and sounds great.

And if You look at HBB video about Moondrop A8 / Kanas Pro / Blessing, then A8 and Kanas Pro have VERY similar FR graph.

Just sayin :)

I had a listen to the Tanchjim Oxygen today at CanJam and from my short time with it, it sounds like a smoother Moondrop Kanas Pro. Vocal tuning was smoother on the Tanchjim Oxygen and bass was not as punchy.
If you want know O2 well and know how great is this small IEM, please play Billie Eilish "When we fall asplep, Where do we go?" and tell me if another IEM in its money range could play better this unbelievable LP.

My take on the Tanchjim Oxygen.
Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)


Nice review on that beautiful matte black oxygen! always want this but i found it too expensive to spend since i have Kanas Pro and EX1000 between these iems. Maybe next time.
