XENNS - Mangird Tea Pro 2DD+6BA

Tea pros with a bass boost literally sound like you got a 12 in the back 🤷‍♂️

tea pros are awesome for rock and would be great for immersive gaming

The mangrid Tea pro, the Dusk has a weird treble issue that had to be corrected with a DSP cable, dont get me wrong, its still an awesome IEM and a class leader, but it all depends on how you like your treble, just to ruin your day, the other options around that price range that you should be looking for would be the Hype 4, the Aful P5+2, the simgot ET142 and the new kiwi ears planar.

This was definitely my experience coming from Blessing 2s. They are different tunings but I've really been enjoying my tea pros! Definitely a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.

I saw people saying that Astral is comparable to Tea Pro, so while I have never used Astrals I own the latter and even with no EQ it blew my other IEMs out of the water (KZ EDC Pro, Juzear Clear, TinHiFi C2 Mech Warrior, Tangu Wan'er 2, Simgot EW300, my beloved Aful Explorer). I think the jump from the cheapest EDC Pro to let's say EW300 is big and well worth it, but IMHO the jump from EW300 to TeaPro is even bigger and immediately noticeable for me personally. I guess the diminishing returns rule has exceptions, especially given how well TeaPro works with PEQ due to its drivers. Of course at the end of a day it all depends on how well said IEM works with your ears and how well can you match it with eartips, but in my case TeaPros are my endgame, I don't think I will ever buy anything more expensive.

The first thing is technicalities and soundstage. I never really paid much attention to the soundstage at all, Explorer is always described as having an "intimate" soundstage, but it never ever bothered me. I just didn't notice/think about it. When I heard TeaPro for the first time that's what hit me first. Everything was much more spacious and separated. Then it was the physicality of the sound, meaning it was very dynamic and clean, it felt like having speakers next to my ears, hard to describe but almost like there was actual "air" pumped into my ear canals, not just sound waves, it was very physical on low end. The third thing is just how detailed everything was. I experienced it before when I heard EW300 for the first time moving from C2 Mech Warrior, it felt like there was a veil removed, but this time it was much more than that. There are couple songs I use for "testing" and one of them is a K-pop song that has a moment where the sub bass just rumbles in your ears and with all my previous IEMS I could hear it, but this time I noticed the texture of that sub bass, not just the "volume" if that makes sense. Actually that was the moment I enjoyed the most, because I really like a nice, rumbly low end, and even with the default tuning I got that. That being said, I have to mention DucBloke's PEQ settings for TeaPro, I do it all the time on this sub and I will do it again. It turns TeaPro into a very, very fun IEM. Basically a basshead tier fun, but detailed and textured low end with very physical rumble. It's insanely satisfying. My only nitpick is 5800sh region where I do get some sibilance with his tuning, but that's only because I listen to a lot of idol music/anime songs, k-pop. I just have one extra preset where I removed the bump he introduced to that region. IMHO a must try for any TeaPro owner.

I got timeless 2 Saturday and the rest pros Sunday. I notified Amazon I was returning the timeless just after listening to half a song with the teas.

Hear me out, people here recommend the Tea Pro, but I got them and really disliked them. Sharp, spiky and shouty mess (for me). If you found the blessings to sound weird,I bet the Tea pros are not gonna be that much more different. Try a darker tuning, maybe Letshouer S08 OR if ur generally fine with treble the MP145 are gonna be great, half open Planar s with a warmer sound and great detail.

I like the volume s better than the teas. I'm very sensitive to treble and the teas destroy my ears.

What a great review! They’re 20% off now and I’m tempted to give them a try. I have the MP145. They were my first decent IEM I got last summer. I got the tea pro in December and they’re my favourite by far, for now lol.

Agreed. Tea pros are as far as I've gone so far with IEMs and they sound considerably better than my cheaper IEMs.
