TANGZU Xuanwu Gate 10mm 1DD+4BA+2EST IN EAR Earphones IEM

Strangely hollow

The right shell makes vibrational sounds to any movement and it's significantly more present than on the left shell if you tap on them with them inside your ears for comparison, almost as if it is missing parts on the inside. The product itself in terms of sound is great when you use the 3.5mm auxillary (Mostly balanced and even the unorthodox parts in the tuning actually fit here and make it a very non-exhausting IEM to use), however... the 4.4 makes it a complete basshead IEM which has a good sounding bass but everything else becomes muddy (including sub-bass). I recommend that you use the TRN Wave or another Neutral DAC if you plan on using it, because despite the "Warm" sounding DACs that people recommend for this IEM, it will drown out the mids and have it sound really thin\plain. Rest assured, if you are looking for a good unboxing, this has quite a good case inside it and the eartips fit my ears quite well (I have smaller ears) and the nozzles (non-detachable), aren't annoyingly large & even though it gets criticism for being a "very large" IEM I have to say that it's not that bad.
