New Tanchjim bullet-style IEM, the ZERO:

Looks non detachable.

Their last budget IEM, the OLA was very good in technicalities but had an Achilles' heel of a bad fit. Their previous Tanya was quite good, warm and bassy and analoguish, hope this one will be good.

Seems there are some pics of the upcoming Tanchjim Zero (not to be confused with the Dioko/Salnotes Zero, which is an over ear IEM compared to this bullet shaped design).

Non-detachable, hope it improves on the poor fit of the Tanchjim OLA. Probably a budget set, so competitors would be stuff like the Moondrop CHU.

Maybe going after Intime a bit with a Titanium dynamic and a VST2 piezo tweeter in a Coaxial set up.

I don't think it's possible to screw up with a shallow fit on a bullet IEM. If it's small enough to shove the whole case deeper in your ear, you should be good.

My UM MEXT REVIEW is up.

No Borders Audiophile HERE
These are very exotic sounding with crazy good techicalities, delivering crispest and more detailed-nuanced mid range i ever heard due to bone conduction driver which cover 200-7000hz range. Let say I do adore them but it's sure not for the budget minded, unless seeking for an End Game IEM.
As well, it's very capricious about fit and eartips to get proper seal so the OBC driver work at its full potential.

THE PLUS:
-Smooth crisp and immersive musicality
-Exceptional resolution
-Organically Cohesive tribrid tuning
-Richly detailed mid-range with focused presence
-Fast snappy treble with tremendous micro-details amount
-Nice transparency
-3D spatiality with fully present center stage
-Great imaging-layering
-Realist timbre
-Excellent all-arounder (even including gaming and movie watching)
-authoritative bass with tactile weight
-their nothing that sound like the Mext
-more musical than Mest MK2 (subjective)
-good cable, nice case and very welcome Azla eartips

THE MINUS:
-bass is a bit warm in definition and resolution compared to mids-treble
-lows are mid bass focus, lacking deep linear extension
-timbre is a hint compressed in density
-lack of air in overall spatiality
-capricious fitting to achieve supreme sound experience
-overly tight 2pin connector with rounded edge

Can't say this one is better than the YST-02. This is a case of adding an extra BA and tuning it for much more detail looses a natural tonal and timbre aspects due to its brigthness. It is much more detailed and while the YST-02 is not as detailed it is the easy going brother vs the smart brother/ Aka Analytical YST-03.

https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/penon-vortex.25936/review/28837/ The Vortex is a highly performing single dynamic from Penon.

These are a substantial set of dynamic IEMs that are very comfy due to having a physical smaller size. A versatile sound with excellent dynamics, masterful timbre with a natural tonal character. I can't ever see a scenario where the dynamic IEM will ever go away. These clearly show the advantage of the full range highly resolving single dynamic IEM.

UM has never been for the budget minded. These are for people with money to burn, who laugh at the current economy and say, I can buy these and not wait to get them as a free review set!!
