I am thinking to order from the tangzu. Net hoping that there is no customs charge for the product. Any audiophiles here tried to buy any iem from that site or any thing from China and have you got any customs duty to pay ?
Hello Audiophiles,
I would like to make an upgrade from my Waner SG2 and confused between the XT - 01 and xiao qiao
XT-01 - i can get this for 43usd.
I heard the cable and mic is bad and uncomfortable to wear. Although I can switch it with the sg2 cable. I also get the tang sancai balance tips and liquid silicone tips with it.
Also dracomies mentioned they are on par with defiant which is also making me lean towards the xt-01.
But I wonder if the sound stage would be an upgrade when coming from the SG2.
HE XIAO QIAO - its 55usd at my place. As far as the few user reviews i can find. The sound stage is wider than the XT-01. And GPT says jumping from sg2 to xiao qiao would give a good wow factor as well.
But I personally after seeing the shell size ( slide 3) feel like that might be uncomfortable or protruding out the ear.
And I have ordered a few sets of tips as well HE sonic , Kbear 07, 08 , 4540 , Tri clarion and also have the Tang sancai wide bore tips.
Confused with the XT - 01 coz of how close it sounds to defiant and how it sounds similar to to the tangzu xuan nv + the freebie of the tangzu sancai balanced tip 😅
Confused with the Xiao qiao for the wide sound stage and better separation on instruments says GPT.
Any guidance on what to choose for this beginner audiophile.
Coming from Tangzu waner SG II Jade dragon edition which would be an upgrade from here.
Any thing under 5k that is not treble sharp and good vocals, instruments separation and sound staging.
Under 5k was considering like
Edit - 4. Also how about Harmonic empire Xiao qiao?
Use case scenario is only for songs and no gaming.
I use my Waner SG2 for few days. I although like its vocals but it lacks the wide sound stage. Are there any other Iems under 3-5k that are better than this? Or is it better to increase the budget more to 10k
Are these like collab or new iems. Coz I cant find any ddhifi skyfall , ris iem on quick google.
