my tangzu just arrived and I am realising that your review was really accurate. Just in a stock form they handle complex music better than the moded 7Hz zero also. I dont know why other reviews complaining about resolution separation and imaging while they are actually really good in this area ( I am always comparing with the good expensive stuff).
@@PaulsPOV if you are in the mood of tip rolling go straight to the cp145 (can recommend) have them on the waner right now with the yinhoo 16 core cable (16bucks) which also helped soundwise and aestetic wise. Its so freaking good cable I use it with my kilobuck stuff 😅.
I get this as a new carry around together with a USB dongle style DAC/AMP and its just great , I had the brand's more premium offering of the Wu Zeitan Heyday edition ( a planar IEM ) which basically am very happy about ; am really looking forward to their next one
Yea, these are quite impressive. I'm keen to try out planar IEMs. I'm quite new to the IEM game, I've always used over the ear headphones. Enjoy your Wan'er's 😊
@@PaulsPOV Do I really need a DAC/AMP I mean I bought this for the 1st time....today...and suddenly buying a DAC which costs 1000 rupees ... Gimme your opinion
No, you don't "need" one. If you've just got into the hobby and you have a way of driving these from your phone or computers, you're set. Before buying a dedicated DAC/Amp, you're better off owning higher end IEMs or headphones that can benefit from better hardware. The sub 2k IEMs aren't as transparent sounding as higher end stuff, so you may not hear that much of a difference with a DAC/Amp just yet.
you are the only person in india that is providing quality reviews about audiophile products 🙌 i was thinking to get into the audiophile genre, been using tws from a long time and thought of getting into iems, not sure where to start, kz zsn pro x, moondrop chu 2, tangzu waner, salnotes zero.
Of the few you've mentioned, I haven't tested the Chu2 just yet, but my favorite is the KZ ZSN ProX. It's a good all-rounder and a very enjoyable listen. If you've got a little more to spend, consider the Simgot EW200. It's not really bass happy, but it's well structured and quite well defined. The KZ is more emphatic with the bass but the Simgot is terrifically detailed without giving the sense of giving you too much detail like the Tangzu. DAC/Amp I'd recommend, either the iFi Go Link or ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC. I've got a comparison video between these two. Have a look at it if you haven't already.
@@PaulsPOV thankss... uh spending nearly 2.5 times the amount for simgot might be a problem ig.. but i'll see ... and also i am not sure about my preference just yet, one think i know is that i like a more open sound stage rather than being in a closed bubble, and also i like details but if the sound is too bright , i get pain in my ears. hope kz and simgot doesnt have these problems... and 1 last thing, do i really need a dac? i have one that came with my mi phone.. so i wasnt thinking to get one.
Go for the KZ in that case. Have a look at my review on it. You'll benefit from the DACs I mentioned, more so if or when you get more high-end IEMs. I found those DACs to do extremely well with IEMs in the 10-20k price range. So it'll future proof you. The KZ is a great starting set of IEMs but if or when you decide to upgrade, don't get IEMs in the same price range, consider the Simgot EW200 and the likes in that range or even more expensive. The higher you go in pricing, usually gives you better engineered hardware.
Trying to pick between hola and these and really struggling over it. Thwse would be my first IEMs and I will mainly be listening to pop, some punk rock and some random other genres. And also podcasts. I'm not a basshead but I do enjoy moderate amount of it and I appreciate the vocal clarity. But also since it ll be my first IEM, dont know what to look out for. I do intend to use them for long periods of time at once. Any suggestions? Currently both are around 1899-1999 with mic.
Hey Paul, I am very confused between these and the Salnotes zero (as both have a very neutral sound), I mostly listen to Hip hop and EDM and also want to do some music production and mixing on these on the go, which one do you think have a more flatter sound and have a good sound stage between the 2 or any other IEMs under 2.5K? And thanks for your amazing reviews!
Sir, should i buy this over kz zsn pro x. Or is there a better option for me in 2.3k price range. Im a Student so mu budget is tight nd i dont want to waste my money.. I mostly listen to rock music . I'm a fan of j pop too. I love your unbiased reviews. Love from Bihar ❤
Did you list the cons? I heard that it suffers technically, such as being unable to handle tracks that are too busy. If there's many instruments, can it handle them? Can you comment on the soundstage and imaging?
The Soundstage is not as wide as compared to truthear hola, but its good enough. In my opinion busy tracks can't be properly handled by any iem in the sub $20 range so expecting it a tall order. Imaging of these is very good for its pricetag.
That's a loaded question because I've found all of these to be my favorites, really. They all have slightly different "flavours". Something about the ZSN Pro X really made me want to own a set of my own, the other two haven't given me that feeling. So personally, I'd go for that, but feel free to see my reviews on them to see which one would suit your taste better.
Hi :) when u compare technicalities of an iem, what is your reference. Because on your channel I see mainly wireless earbuds and those ...well dont tend to have a good technicalities ... for instance this waner has a good imaging compare to what? Whats your best wired iem right now? 😊
Have a look at my series on my headphonezone unboxing. My references are primarily the KZ ZSN Pro X and 7Hz. Yup, wireless don't compare to these in detail recovery at all.
@@PaulsPOV ok thanks 🙂 and these and 7hz are approx on the same level? Which one can handle complex tracks better? (just checking out your Hans Zimmer ,,terraforming,, reference that u have mentioned in the 7hz video) 😁
i'm going to choose truthear hola.... so what you think this will be better than that? i surely like some kind of balanced sound all are well balanced so that can figure out instrument separation beautifully(ofc in this price range) which one you suggest? btw i'll also use them for movies also sometime .
The Hola's handle bass a little more prominently than these, so they'd work better for movies. I wouldn't say one or the other is "better". They have their own "flavours" in sound. I prefer these for classical music.
Well, the Tangzu is certainly more analytical than the KZ I've mentioned, but it's more tuned toward lighter genres. It can have an enthusiastic bass, but only when you're listening to a very good recording and mix. It's more transparent, so this happens rarely. The KZ is more likely to keep you interested in the IEM game as a starter set of IEMs since it's got more of a V tuning. It is well detailed and honestly, in this price range, the KZ is one set that actually made me take it out of my studio and ask my wife to give it a listen. It's genuinely impressive for its price. The Wan'er I'd say is more of a second set to own for specific genres.
Hey Bro ,as I have ordered this IEM today and I have a doubt that whether I need to Burn in these for couple of hours or days to squeeze out all the potential of the iem ?
It's not necessary. But I usually burn in review units for 20-24Hrs if they're brand new. Try it out. Listen to it before the burn in and after it and make notes and see if there's any difference. It's part of the fun in this hobby.
Hey bud. Watched the Hola and now Waner. Now a bit confused which one sud I go for. In need of enthusiastic, fun, wide sound stage, great instrument separation and comfortable to wear IEM. Pls suggest me one. Also I don't own a dac so 3.5mm with smartphone
The Wan'er has slightly better separation but is not as enthusiastic in the bass compared to the Hola. The Hola is more of an all-rounder and safer to go for. They'll sound fuller and slightly better detailed if or when you decide to go for a DAC/Amp. I've been using an iFi Go Link that's quite good.
Hi Paul, it's your annoying subscriber again 😅. I've just ordered the Oriveti OD200s. I wanted to pair them with the Tangzu Tang Sancai Balanced eartips. They cost 999 just for the tips, so buying the wa'ner sg seems a better deal. Question is, does it come with the Sancai tips or just some generic tips in the box?
I haven't tested the Chu2 yet, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information. For rock, pop and metal, in this price range, the FiiO JD1 is fun. Feel free to give my review on it a look if you haven't already.
The ZSN ProX is certainly an enjoyable set to listen to. It's more of an all-rounder compared to this with its V shaped tuning, but the Wan'er is sharper with its detail recovery. I'd say if you prefer listening to lighter music or classical stuff, the Wan'er is the way to go. Everything else, the KZ.
My pair of wan er arrived a week ago, and I'm having a blast with it. For me, my zsn pro x sounds more lively but the tangzu wan er has more detail and tuned for female vocals. On another note, I dunno if it's a miss click but I swear that I ordered the black one but they sent me the green one.
From my experience, I haven't found any IEMs that perform well when it comes to voice calls. The only time a set has sounded good over voice call is when I've paired it with the Astell & Kern XB10. Music wise, I quite like the Tangzu Wan'er. It's not heavy in the bass, which lets me enjoy jazz and classical. If you're looking for more bass, the Salnotes Zero and KZ ZSN Pro X should suit you well. Feel free to watch the video through this link and skip over to the call chapter to listen to how well they XB10 performs for calls. Hope it helps. ruclips.net/video/jiPVuxs86MI/видео.html
That connector should be good enough, but if you want better amping and clarity, picking up a dongle DAC/Amp will give you slightly better sound. I tested a shanling some months ago and quite liked it.
Just ordered a tangzu after watching your review. Now i wanted to buy a DAC to connect it to my android device as my device doesn't have a 3.5mm audio output. Do you have any recommendation for DAC under rs 1k to 1.5k? Thanks for this amazing video And subbed :D
I've only tested a Shanling UA1 Pro a few months back, but I think there's an updated model, and it is out of your mentioned budget. Try connecting with the guys at HeadphoneZone.in and ask them about the best DAC/Amps in that budget. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction. Enjoy your new IEMs 😊
I haven't tried the cadenza and tingifi yet, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information, but these I find to be perfect for classical music for me. I've never really liked heavy bass, so they way these are tuned seems purer to me than some bass heavy IEMs. It's not heavy ij the bass, but it's present enough for my taste.
Both have a similar fit. I dont like how the cable doesn't hold my ear properly with the Tangzu, the 7Hz hugged it better. If I'm not mistaken, the 7Hz had a stronger bass response than this, but I think both do quite well with detail recovery. Imaging and staging is similar, rich in both cases. If you're okay with adequate bass, the Tangzu will suit you well.
@PaulsPOV Please help me selecting some IEM , which one i should buy KZ - ZSN PRO 2 , SIMGOT - EW100P , Tangzu Waner , 7 Hz Saltoz or Kz ZSN Pro -X ?? I'm more in Instrumental music . Please help me , i'm totallly confused.. Your Help means me a lot, cz u r genuine Bro..
I haven't tested the KZ ZSN Pro2, but I do like all the other ones you've mentioned. All sound great and have their own characters. I've found the KZ ZSN ProX to be a great starter IEM since it does have a V shaped tuning, so will keep most people happy. The Wan'er I'd recommend if you're okay with less aggressive bass and like sharp detail. It's great for lighter genres of music. Have a look at my reviews on all these IEMs to get an idea about how they sound and see which one you'd prefer.
@@PaulsPOV Bro i literally watched all your videos on IEMs,, this was the last video i watched, and then I asked for ur recommendation, Thnxx for the reply man !! I will rewatch the review of ZSN PRO -X for better understanding
hey Paul, good morning! i loved your pov on these. recently i have been planning to buy my first iem and i am sort of confused between the 7Hz salnotes Zero and Tangzu Wan'er S.G. there is no specific genre as i listen to everything depending on the mood. half of my playlist is bollywood music, everything from retros to modern day soul soothers and bangers. the other half includes international pops, edms and hiphops. my present gear includes JBL T210, Sony WI-XB400, Oppo M31 and Realme Wireless Buds 2. I really like my previous gear but they lack details and instrument separation. also the dolby atmos streaming of apple music needs good soundstage and my present gear don't do justice. clean bass thumps, clear mids and lusious vocals along with smooth treble (hate sibilant treble as it hurts in long sessions) is what i'm looking for. i assume a little warm sounding will be better seeing my music preference but still looking forward for your suggestion. could you please suggest me one i should pick in this range. i am considering this an investment and if spending a little bit more money could get me better product then i am willing to do that too. please help me with this to start my audiophile journey :) i know it must be hard to deal with noobs like me but i really need your suggestion to embark on my audiophile journey. thanks a lot for your help!
Hey Anurag. Sorry, I missed your comment. It's not hard to deal with first time audiophiles, I was one at one point of time, rather, I find it to be fun. I didn't have any proper guidance so am always glad to help someone whose looking for any. Considering you've been listening to wireless stuff, they tend to have a lot of bloat compared to audiophile grade stuff. So IEM wise, don't expect any ear wax loosening bass. It'll be delivered in a very calm yet detailed manner. Of the few I've tried, I quite like the Salnote Zero by 7Hz, KZ ZSN Pro X and now the Tangzu Waner. All perform well without causing fatigue and have great detail. All reviews are up on my channel, should you want to watch them. Have a look at my review on the Shanling UA1 Pro as well. Its worthwhile clubbing your IEMs with a good DAC/AMP for the best performance. Hope this helps.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for the guidance, Paul! you have predicted it right, my present gear is mostly wireless ones and have that "extra-bloated-bass" that at times sounds clustered and eats up the micro details and clarity. probably that's the primary reason I entered the magical world of IEMs. but this world is overwhelming to me at first as there are tons of options to choose from. i have went through most of the IEMs videos of yours and loved your perspective on them. also that's the reason I have shortlisted the Salnotes Zero and Tangzu Wan'er. it seems like I am a bit inclined to the Wan'ers as they have smoother treble than Zeros and the vocal sounds better and luscious on Wan'ers (read that on Zeros the vocal sounds thin) without compromising on the imaging and clarity of Zeros. will those suit the musical preference of mine?! would you recommend the Tangzu Wan'er over the Salnotes Zero?! thanks for your help! thanks a ton for taking out time and helping me 😊
Between the two, they have different flavours, I'd say. I do like the detail the Waner has but sadly don't have the 7Hz to do a comparison or any A-B testing. Either way, it's not like one is better than the other, they just have slightly different characteristics. The good thing about them is that you won't hurt the bank too badly. 5-10yrs ago, if you wanted to get into HiFi, you'd have to spend 14-20k. Today for 5k, you've got a good set of IEMs and a good eongle DAC too. You're not making a bad decision with either of these IEMs, they're both great.
These are my first iem got them in white I have been using headphones and earbuds. To me they are not better than my headphones but they definitely beat my wireless earbuds overall very happy with these
hello there! even i am planning to buy my first iems and been eyeing both tangzu wan'er and truthear hola. my previous gears included sony wi-xb400, realme wireless 2 and jbl t210. half of my playlist is bollywood music, everything from retros to modern day soul soothers and bangers. the other half includes international pops, edms and hiphops. do you think wan'er are really living up the hype?
You'll feel that the Wan'er lacks in the lower frequencies for your type of music preference. Where they do shine is in detail recovery...their imaging is quite good. They are an enjoyable set to listen to if you like analytical listening.
I've quite liked the KZ ZSN Pro X, Salnotes Zero, Blon BL03, Tangzu Wan'er and I'm tested the Truthear Hola. All do well with treble, but if you want more bass, the Salnotes and KZ do quite well. The Blon is also no slouch but I found myself liking the KZ and Salnotes the most. Feel free to watch my reviews on these.
If you like mad bass response, KZ Castor Improved Bass is also something you can consider. They do have decent gaming performance but it can be a little too loud in terms of bass while gaming, especially if you play FPS, Shooter games.
Sir please suggest me an IEM upto Rs.2300. my ear size.., it is such that the apple wired earpod is little bit uncomfortable for my ears.. and I need inbuilt mic...
Of the few I've tested, I quite like these Tangzu Wan'er's, the KZ ZSN Pro X, Salnotes Zero, and the CCA CXS. All have slightly different flavours of sound, so feel free to give my indepth reviews on them a watch to see which one would suit you best. These should all fit within your budget. One thing to keep in mind is that their microphones aren't great. I've found that pairing an Astell&Kern KB10 usually makes voice calls better for your fellow gamers or recipients over a call. I've done a demo of it in a video about TWS vs IEMs, feel free to give that demo a look too, if you want better call clarity for your recipients.
I wouldn't say either one is better or worse, I'd say they have slightly different flavours. I remember the 7Hz having more bass presence than these, but I do like how these detail. These perhaps do have crisper imaging than the 7Hz, but I don't have them to do any A-B testing.
I think the KZ BT modules should work with this, but I haven't tested it myself. I have paired this with the Astell&Kern XB10 and quite enjoyed it. It's worthwhile connecting with the guys at HeadphoneZone.in. They'll be able to guide you much better than I can with regard to this in particular.
It's got its own tuning to it, which will sound slightly different to the ones you have. Don't expect an upgrade in sound, just a different "flavour" of it. That's a nice collection you have there.
The only higher end IEMs I've heard are the KZ ZS10 Pro, I think there's a replacement model for them now, and the Moondrop Aria. Honestly, you'll get diminishing returns from them even though they're more expensive. I myself found the KZ ZSN Pro X to be really good for its price, which makes you wonder how much more you'd get at double the price. Sadly, you won't get double the quality. If there is a new set you're considering, let me know, and I'll see if I can get my hands on a demo unit for a review.
Im confused between tangzu waner and salnotes zero?. I'm not a bass head, want enough bass and good mids and treble . Better sound stage and instrument seperation
Imaging and separation wise, the Tangzu is amazingly good for its price. The 7Hz is more bass heavy between the two for sure. The Tangzu can be picky with what it is bass happy with. It depends a lot on the recordings. But if you're into heavier or bass heavy music, the 7Hz won't disappoint. If you're into softer, classical, acoustic, or instrumental stuff, the Tangzu is the way to go.
Yea, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's definitely not a bass heavy set of IEMs but handles its overall music delivery very well. I've quite enjoyed listening to them.
The Blon BL03 has a warmer sound with more accentuated bass compared to these if I remember right. I would say either is "better", I'd say they both have their own flavours. Feel free to give my review on the Blon a look for more details.
The ones I've reviewed after this were the Truthear Hola & now the Simgot EW200. But you know, I just did a listening session the other day with the Wan'er, and it does not disappoint. In my review, I did mention that it's not too open to wanting to be bass happy, but my wife played some bass heavy stuff, and it nails it. It's a very impressive set of IEMs.
I wouldn't say it's "better". It's got different characteristics than the Salnotes. It's definitely not as bass enthusiastic as the Zero. Detail recovery is quite good though.
The Hola will be more fun with bass for sure. So pop, edm and lofi will sound fuller with it. The Tangzu I find to be better suited for classical and orchestral music since it's not as bass enthusiastic. It's detail retrieval is a bit sharper than the Hola.
@@PaulsPOV thanks sir for the detailed review am so confused for buying between them so suddenly i found ur youtube channel ur also a life saver for a audiophile like me thankz man ♥️
It's not absolutely necessary, but it can improve your listening experience compared to a phones/computers internal DAC. Imaging, staging, and amping should be improved with a good DAC/Amp.
I quite like both of them. If you prefer a little more bass, the Hola is the one to go for. The Tangzu does very well with detail in the mids and highs, so it performs well for classical, vocal, and acoustic music. The Hola is a better all-rounder.
The build quality on these is at par with a lot of KZs I've reviewed. I've heard some folk have had their KZs for well over 2yrs without issues. But it also depends on how well you keep them, of course.
I am here literally after just unboxing them and using them. All i can say is this is the worse heaphones i have ever used....... Literally no bass , it just raw sound , and its so uncomfortably loud, it literally hurts not even joking, the buzzing in the ear won't stop, i don't get what are these people recommending............... Deff NOT for gaming.

Well, the Tangzu is certainly more analytical than the KZ I've mentioned, but it's more tuned toward lighter genres. It can have an enthusiastic bass, but only when you're listening to a very good recording and mix. It's more transparent, so this happens rarely. The KZ is more likely to keep you interested in the IEM game as a starter set of IEMs since it's got more of a V tuning. It is well detailed and honestly, in this price range, the KZ is one set that actually made me take it out of my studio and ask my wife to give it a listen. It's genuinely impressive for its price. The Wan'er I'd say is more of a second set to own for specific genres.
Hey Bro ,as I have ordered this IEM today and I have a doubt that whether I need to Burn in these for couple of hours or days to squeeze out all the potential of the iem ?
It's not necessary. But I usually burn in review units for 20-24Hrs if they're brand new. Try it out. Listen to it before the burn in and after it and make notes and see if there's any difference. It's part of the fun in this hobby.
Hey bud. Watched the Hola and now Waner. Now a bit confused which one sud I go for. In need of enthusiastic, fun, wide sound stage, great instrument separation and comfortable to wear IEM. Pls suggest me one. Also I don't own a dac so 3.5mm with smartphone
The Wan'er has slightly better separation but is not as enthusiastic in the bass compared to the Hola. The Hola is more of an all-rounder and safer to go for. They'll sound fuller and slightly better detailed if or when you decide to go for a DAC/Amp. I've been using an iFi Go Link that's quite good.
@@PaulsPOV u been a sport.❤️ Tahnks a lot
Hi Paul, it's your annoying subscriber again 😅. I've just ordered the Oriveti OD200s. I wanted to pair them with the Tangzu Tang Sancai Balanced eartips. They cost 999 just for the tips, so buying the wa'ner sg seems a better deal. Question is, does it come with the Sancai tips or just some generic tips in the box?
The Wan'er comes with generic tips in its box. They don't look anything like the Sancai tips.
Hi sir can u recomend me anything with bit more bass and with clear and speration ?
Have a look at my review on the FiiO JD1.
Should I buy this or the Chu 2? I listen to mostly rock and metal with some pop as well.
I haven't tested the Chu2 yet, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information. For rock, pop and metal, in this price range, the FiiO JD1 is fun. Feel free to give my review on it a look if you haven't already.
I have ordered the limited edition of the same in blue colour.
When it comes to the price I was really astounded
I feel the same every time I review IEMs in this price segment. 🤣
Great review but is it better sounding than the kz zsn pro x? I'm planning to buy a new iem around this price
The ZSN ProX is certainly an enjoyable set to listen to. It's more of an all-rounder compared to this with its V shaped tuning, but the Wan'er is sharper with its detail recovery. I'd say if you prefer listening to lighter music or classical stuff, the Wan'er is the way to go. Everything else, the KZ.
My pair of wan er arrived a week ago, and I'm having a blast with it. For me, my zsn pro x sounds more lively but the tangzu wan er has more detail and tuned for female vocals. On another note, I dunno if it's a miss click but I swear that I ordered the black one but they sent me the green one.
Enjoy your new IEMs 😊
I need iem for music and also for calling.. I’m using edx pro , and it has poor mic , my low voice is not picking properly..
Can u suggest one??
From my experience, I haven't found any IEMs that perform well when it comes to voice calls. The only time a set has sounded good over voice call is when I've paired it with the Astell & Kern XB10.
Music wise, I quite like the Tangzu Wan'er. It's not heavy in the bass, which lets me enjoy jazz and classical. If you're looking for more bass, the Salnotes Zero and KZ ZSN Pro X should suit you well.
Feel free to watch the video through this link and skip over to the call chapter to listen to how well they XB10 performs for calls.
Hope it helps.

@@PaulsPOV thank u.. I’m having iphone 13 with 3.5mm connector.. Tangzu waner is good without DAC?
That connector should be good enough, but if you want better amping and clarity, picking up a dongle DAC/Amp will give you slightly better sound. I tested a shanling some months ago and quite liked it.
Came for the review, stayed for the quality shots
Just ordered a tangzu after watching your review. Now i wanted to buy a DAC to connect it to my android device as my device doesn't have a 3.5mm audio output. Do you have any recommendation for DAC under rs 1k to 1.5k?
Thanks for this amazing video
And subbed :D
I've only tested a Shanling UA1 Pro a few months back, but I think there's an updated model, and it is out of your mentioned budget. Try connecting with the guys at HeadphoneZone.in and ask them about the best DAC/Amps in that budget. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
Enjoy your new IEMs 😊
@@PaulsPOV thanks for the reply🙂
And i have another question. Can i replace another cable for this with a mic?
Do you have anything in mind under1.5k?
@@BerserkDhanrajwhich one did you get? I got the KZ am01 recently for 1.1k
@@maxpayne69. i got an unboxed shanling UA 1s
Should I go for these or cadenza or tinhifi c2?
I listen mostly on rock, edm, pop and classical music and do gaming some time.
I haven't tried the cadenza and tingifi yet, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information, but these I find to be perfect for classical music for me. I've never really liked heavy bass, so they way these are tuned seems purer to me than some bass heavy IEMs. It's not heavy ij the bass, but it's present enough for my taste.
Hey Paul ! how would u compare it with the moondrop chu 2 dsp?
I haven't reviewed the Chu2 just yet, so I'm not sure I'll be doing this comparison.
Did you order from linsoul? Any idea if custom duty or extra money is charged for shipping in india?
If you're ordering to India, I think these are available from HeadphoneZone.in now. Shipping into the country will most likely attract customs/duty.
But from Concept kart.
Hello sir which one you recommend warner or 7hz zero
My priority would be comfort and i m not a basshead guy prefer richness of music
Both have a similar fit. I dont like how the cable doesn't hold my ear properly with the Tangzu, the 7Hz hugged it better.
If I'm not mistaken, the 7Hz had a stronger bass response than this, but I think both do quite well with detail recovery. Imaging and staging is similar, rich in both cases.
If you're okay with adequate bass, the Tangzu will suit you well.
Sir whether breaking in is necessary for iem? Does that actually works?
I've found some audio hardware, not all, that are affected by this. You can try it out with any new gear you have and see if there is a difference.
Brother i m fan ….
Please help me choose between jd1 vs tangzu warner
@PaulsPOV Please help me selecting some IEM , which one i should buy KZ - ZSN PRO 2 , SIMGOT - EW100P , Tangzu Waner , 7 Hz Saltoz or Kz ZSN Pro -X ?? I'm more in Instrumental music . Please help me , i'm totallly confused.. Your Help means me a lot, cz u r genuine Bro..
I haven't tested the KZ ZSN Pro2, but I do like all the other ones you've mentioned. All sound great and have their own characters. I've found the KZ ZSN ProX to be a great starter IEM since it does have a V shaped tuning, so will keep most people happy. The Wan'er I'd recommend if you're okay with less aggressive bass and like sharp detail. It's great for lighter genres of music. Have a look at my reviews on all these IEMs to get an idea about how they sound and see which one you'd prefer.
@@PaulsPOV Bro i literally watched all your videos on IEMs,, this was the last video i watched, and then I asked for ur recommendation, Thnxx for the reply man !! I will rewatch the review of ZSN PRO -X for better understanding
Let's gooooooooooo there's a mic version now
hey Paul, good morning!
i loved your pov on these. recently i have been planning to buy my first iem and i am sort of confused between the 7Hz salnotes Zero and Tangzu Wan'er S.G. there is no specific genre as i listen to everything depending on the mood. half of my playlist is bollywood music, everything from retros to modern day soul soothers and bangers. the other half includes international pops, edms and hiphops. my present gear includes JBL T210, Sony WI-XB400, Oppo M31 and Realme Wireless Buds 2. I really like my previous gear but they lack details and instrument separation. also the dolby atmos streaming of apple music needs good soundstage and my present gear don't do justice. clean bass thumps, clear mids and lusious vocals along with smooth treble (hate sibilant treble as it hurts in long sessions) is what i'm looking for. i assume a little warm sounding will be better seeing my music preference but still looking forward for your suggestion. could you please suggest me one i should pick in this range. i am considering this an investment and if spending a little bit more money could get me better product then i am willing to do that too. please help me with this to start my audiophile journey :) i know it must be hard to deal with noobs like me but i really need your suggestion to embark on my audiophile journey.
thanks a lot for your help!
@PaulsPOV help me out! :(
Hey Anurag. Sorry, I missed your comment.
It's not hard to deal with first time audiophiles, I was one at one point of time, rather, I find it to be fun. I didn't have any proper guidance so am always glad to help someone whose looking for any.
Considering you've been listening to wireless stuff, they tend to have a lot of bloat compared to audiophile grade stuff. So IEM wise, don't expect any ear wax loosening bass. It'll be delivered in a very calm yet detailed manner.
Of the few I've tried, I quite like the Salnote Zero by 7Hz, KZ ZSN Pro X and now the Tangzu Waner. All perform well without causing fatigue and have great detail.
All reviews are up on my channel, should you want to watch them.
Have a look at my review on the Shanling UA1 Pro as well. Its worthwhile clubbing your IEMs with a good DAC/AMP for the best performance.
Hope this helps.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for the guidance, Paul! you have predicted it right, my present gear is mostly wireless ones and have that "extra-bloated-bass" that at times sounds clustered and eats up the micro details and clarity. probably that's the primary reason I entered the magical world of IEMs. but this world is overwhelming to me at first as there are tons of options to choose from.
i have went through most of the IEMs videos of yours and loved your perspective on them. also that's the reason I have shortlisted the Salnotes Zero and Tangzu Wan'er. it seems like I am a bit inclined to the Wan'ers as they have smoother treble than Zeros and the vocal sounds better and luscious on Wan'ers (read that on Zeros the vocal sounds thin) without compromising on the imaging and clarity of Zeros. will those suit the musical preference of mine?! would you recommend the Tangzu Wan'er over the Salnotes Zero?!
thanks for your help! thanks a ton for taking out time and helping me 😊
Between the two, they have different flavours, I'd say. I do like the detail the Waner has but sadly don't have the 7Hz to do a comparison or any A-B testing. Either way, it's not like one is better than the other, they just have slightly different characteristics.
The good thing about them is that you won't hurt the bank too badly. 5-10yrs ago, if you wanted to get into HiFi, you'd have to spend 14-20k. Today for 5k, you've got a good set of IEMs and a good eongle DAC too.
You're not making a bad decision with either of these IEMs, they're both great.
Hey I am thinking to buy sony wi xb400 does it sound better than oppo m31 is it worth upgrading or any other suggestion
how is the mic quality can people hear you clear or not?
These are my first iem got them in white I have been using headphones and earbuds. To me they are not better than my headphones but they definitely beat my wireless earbuds overall very happy with these
For their price, they're terrific performers. Enjoy your new IEMs 😊
hello there! even i am planning to buy my first iems and been eyeing both tangzu wan'er and truthear hola. my previous gears included sony wi-xb400, realme wireless 2 and jbl t210. half of my playlist is bollywood music, everything from retros to modern day soul soothers and bangers. the other half includes international pops, edms and hiphops. do you think wan'er are really living up the hype?
You'll feel that the Wan'er lacks in the lower frequencies for your type of music preference. Where they do shine is in detail recovery...their imaging is quite good. They are an enjoyable set to listen to if you like analytical listening.
Sir best iem for treble I like more treble and bass can please suggest me best iem
I've quite liked the KZ ZSN Pro X, Salnotes Zero, Blon BL03, Tangzu Wan'er and I'm tested the Truthear Hola. All do well with treble, but if you want more bass, the Salnotes and KZ do quite well. The Blon is also no slouch but I found myself liking the KZ and Salnotes the most. Feel free to watch my reviews on these.
Please review Tanchjim one
Sir plz tell best iem for acoustic and edm also accapella plzz
If you like mad bass response, KZ Castor Improved Bass is also something you can consider. They do have decent gaming performance but it can be a little too loud in terms of bass while gaming, especially if you play FPS, Shooter games.
Sir please suggest me an IEM upto Rs.2300. my ear size.., it is such that the apple wired earpod is little bit uncomfortable for my ears.. and I need inbuilt mic...
Of the few I've tested, I quite like these Tangzu Wan'er's, the KZ ZSN Pro X, Salnotes Zero, and the CCA CXS. All have slightly different flavours of sound, so feel free to give my indepth reviews on them a watch to see which one would suit you best. These should all fit within your budget.
One thing to keep in mind is that their microphones aren't great. I've found that pairing an Astell&Kern KB10 usually makes voice calls better for your fellow gamers or recipients over a call. I've done a demo of it in a video about TWS vs IEMs, feel free to give that demo a look too, if you want better call clarity for your recipients.
Can you try blaupunkt em20.i think they are good also
After comparing my 275s with my friend's blaupunkt ,they were good.i would be happy with your review as i am planning to buy them
I love if you too review the, Dunu titan S
And a review of 7hz 71 type dac.
I'll try and get my hands on these.
Hey how are you
Do you think they better then 7hz zero
I wouldn't say either one is better or worse, I'd say they have slightly different flavours. I remember the 7Hz having more bass presence than these, but I do like how these detail. These perhaps do have crisper imaging than the 7Hz, but I don't have them to do any A-B testing.
How can I convert these to bluetooth? Any links for products?
I think the KZ BT modules should work with this, but I haven't tested it myself. I have paired this with the Astell&Kern XB10 and quite enjoyed it. It's worthwhile connecting with the guys at HeadphoneZone.in. They'll be able to guide you much better than I can with regard to this in particular.

Should i also go for tangzu wan'er sg
It's got its own tuning to it, which will sound slightly different to the ones you have. Don't expect an upgrade in sound, just a different "flavour" of it.
That's a nice collection you have there.
@@PaulsPOV so as of now i won't buy them...
Should i increase my budget??
They'll be a nice set to own for sure if you decide to buy them.
What are you planning on buying with a larger budget?
@@PaulsPOV some high end iem? Like if it goes to 10k
The only higher end IEMs I've heard are the KZ ZS10 Pro, I think there's a replacement model for them now, and the Moondrop Aria. Honestly, you'll get diminishing returns from them even though they're more expensive.
I myself found the KZ ZSN Pro X to be really good for its price, which makes you wonder how much more you'd get at double the price. Sadly, you won't get double the quality.
If there is a new set you're considering, let me know, and I'll see if I can get my hands on a demo unit for a review.
Im confused between tangzu waner and salnotes zero?.
I'm not a bass head, want enough bass and good mids and treble . Better sound stage and instrument seperation
Imaging and separation wise, the Tangzu is amazingly good for its price. The 7Hz is more bass heavy between the two for sure. The Tangzu can be picky with what it is bass happy with. It depends a lot on the recordings. But if you're into heavier or bass heavy music, the 7Hz won't disappoint. If you're into softer, classical, acoustic, or instrumental stuff, the Tangzu is the way to go.
Sir I read all the comments below and found you saying that tangzu has less baas than 7hz??is it true???
From what I remember of the 7Hz, it was more bass enthusiastic than the Tangzu.
@@PaulsPOV but I have ordered tangzu just for its smooth and relaxed sound, I preferred tangzu over 7hz for bass ,, did I do right?
@@PaulsPOV plzzz help me
Yea, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's definitely not a bass heavy set of IEMs but handles its overall music delivery very well. I've quite enjoyed listening to them.
@@PaulsPOV thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions sir 🙏
Can you recommend for bassheads?
Zsn pro x is better
What do you prefer personally this or chu 2?
Sadly, I haven't tested the Chu2 just yet.
This or jd1
Sir which eartip is better in that tell in colors i need some little soundstage and vocal more
Hey sir does this has difference in sound with and without dac?? And will hip dac 2 make difference to the sound??
It does have a certain level of transparency to it when I shift over from my portable to desktop set up. These should sound great with the hip2.
How are these compared to blon 3? Which is better?
The Blon BL03 has a warmer sound with more accentuated bass compared to these if I remember right. I would say either is "better", I'd say they both have their own flavours. Feel free to give my review on the Blon a look for more details.
Is it good for gaming for games like CS2 or valorant pls tell
Great imaging and good staging make it good for gaming.
any NEWER n better competition to Wa'ner ? ty
The ones I've reviewed after this were the Truthear Hola & now the Simgot EW200. But you know, I just did a listening session the other day with the Wan'er, and it does not disappoint. In my review, I did mention that it's not too open to wanting to be bass happy, but my wife played some bass heavy stuff, and it nails it. It's a very impressive set of IEMs.
is the sound better than salnotes zero?
I wouldn't say it's "better". It's got different characteristics than the Salnotes. It's definitely not as bass enthusiastic as the Zero. Detail recovery is quite good though.
Ur video are just 🔥💯
🤣 Thank you Ashrith.
Which one is better tangzu or truthhear hola
I would like to listen pop edm lofi much more detailed
The Hola will be more fun with bass for sure. So pop, edm and lofi will sound fuller with it. The Tangzu I find to be better suited for classical and orchestral music since it's not as bass enthusiastic. It's detail retrieval is a bit sharper than the Hola.
@@PaulsPOV thanks sir for the detailed review am so confused for buying between them so suddenly i found ur youtube channel ur also a life saver for a audiophile like me thankz man ♥️

How is the mic on this?
The unit I got for demo didn't have a microphone, sadly.
Where can I buy From?
Presently, you can order them from Linsoul Audio. The link is provided in the description.
Does this earphone require a dac?
It's not absolutely necessary, but it can improve your listening experience compared to a phones/computers internal DAC. Imaging, staging, and amping should be improved with a good DAC/Amp.
I have tangzu waner. Is any guys here have trouble like ear hurt and tinnitus when wearing it for too long, like one hour
Change your eartips. This might be the cause.

Truthear Hola or Tangzu Wan'er ?
I quite like both of them. If you prefer a little more bass, the Hola is the one to go for. The Tangzu does very well with detail in the mids and highs, so it performs well for classical, vocal, and acoustic music. The Hola is a better all-rounder.
How are these compared to truthear hola
I haven't yet reviewed those so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for the reply, btw how is the build quality and how long do you think these would last
The build quality on these is at par with a lot of KZs I've reviewed. I've heard some folk have had their KZs for well over 2yrs without issues. But it also depends on how well you keep them, of course.
