"if you’re worried about fatigue I would go with the wan’ers. I use them every day for 8 hours a day and find they have perfect tuning when it comes to fatigue."
"it comes with a pair of tangzu sancai eartips which is very good for comfort (speaking from personal experience)"
"I'm using the sancai tips I got with tangzu waner 2, and I'm very happy with them. The earphones are comfortable themselves and these eartips seal perfectly and comfortably aswell"

"the price is definitely fair for what you get. ... I’m using Sancai tips, which add great value—especially since they come included for free, and they really improve the fit and comfort. ... This makes the Wan’er 2 feel like an even better deal. ... It’s a fantastic value for the price, especially with the included Sancai tips"
"They're so cheap that I might just get one for myself or to give as a gift"
"Just buy them. Great accessories and an even greater set of IEMs ... I'm blown away! ... For 20$ these are an absolute banger! ... They sound so good and are absolutely an endgame set of IEMs for those that don’t won’t to spend a lot! ... You absolutely won’t find an actual headphone this good for this amount of money. ... The accessories are also absolutely amazing for this price and the IEMs are absolutely worth picking up even if you just want the cable and eartips!"

"They are better than the 1 for gaming, especially tarkov/valorant and cod."
"I'm using the waner 2 on my PSVR2 and it's excellent"

"I love the bass and the vocals—both come through clean and clear. ... Bass is punchy with good sub-bass rumble, but it stays clean and doesn’t bleed into the mids. ... It’s got a nice texture too—more balanced and fun compared to sets like the Zero 2 or Hola."
"This set absolutely slams! The bass has impact and is punchy and clean while also not drowning out the rest of the sound. I was just amazed."
"Bass is present and super clean."

"It was whiny, that's the best way I can describe it. ... It sounded like a petulant child, upset that it didn't get its way. ... Whatever frequencies that a child whines at about not wanting to do something or whatever, those frequencies seemed enhanced to my ears"
"the sound feels extreeeeemely dull to me ... it's just wasn't for me I guess"
"after losing filters(I was a blue collar at the time) the treble was unbearable"

"The cable I got with my Wan’er II is easily the worst cable I own. Ear hooks are incorrectly molded and has a slight short in it. ... Very poor cable that already had a short it in, no chin cinch, inconsistent molding on ear hooks."
"Also as an iem owner i wouldn't suggest buying it if they are thinking of using it for longer sessions. The wax buildup, cleaning, wire problems, pin problem are no joke when it comes to cheaper iems, they break easily. ... I have had moondrop sparks, blon 03, tangzu wan'er, monk plus etc and although they sound great, they all had some problems within a year or two."
"I had my waner broken down thrice (manufacturing defect)"

"I can't get them to stay in my ears ... I've tried all types of tips ... they keep coming out."
"shell is really chunky & can dig into your ear ridge."
"My main issue with them is after 30min-1hour my ears start to hurt. ... It's the pressure in my ear canal, the case itself does not matter that much thankfully. My concha is normal sized, only my canals are a bit small. ... too bad it has big noozles for me."

"Honestly, everything seems great, except the cables. I hated the cables. They just have too much grip and get tangled really quickly. A little annoying but too much to ask for $20 :3"
"They almost bursted my eardrums when I first play a song. ... I think it’s more of a cable problem, cause they work well with a 3.5."
"The cable I got with my Wan’er II is easily the worst cable I own. Ear hooks are incorrectly molded and has a slight short in it. ... Very poor cable that already had a short it in, no chin cinch, inconsistent molding on ear hooks."
I would HIGHLY recommend getting wan'er 2 (in whatever connector you want, USB c is the best deal) you get a good cable (much better than the stock moondrop cable.) and tangzu's Sancai eartips that are $10 dollars by itself. And you also get another iem for free! You can give that away if you don't like it along with your older cable and tips. Can't see a better deal than that.
r/iems • Which eartips and cable to buy ->Still actually the 7HZ Zero 2. Bunnys spike in the uppers are not fun, Castor pro bass is a bit odd but enjoyable at least, waner 2 is tooo vocal. Pure and hexa are mid. Pure neither has enjoyable bass or mids. Hexa is shouty. EM6L is thin. Explorer is dark asf. The only one of these I've had moments of "Oh shit" and jumping up because I thought the sound was next to me, was from the Zero 2. My collection goes into the kilobucks
r/iems • Best All Rounder IEMs under $120-$130. ->i actually thought their bass was a bit bloated, but i've used hexas for the past 9 months so i'm probably just used to those.
r/iems • Followed the herd mentality. ->Truthear gate is the best one, the wan er 2 is also good but only for flushed 2 pin connectors
r/iems • Which $20 IEM has the best cable? ->o i had a stroke wtf i read that as truthear pure in your title lol gates are a great set yes. kz zvx pro i've personally been also using and I'm very surprised at all the things you mentioned really . detail, imaging, clarity these were able to provide + full metal build quality for like 12$ if you want a set for the longrun and like a more vocal focused tuning then consider wan'er 2 if those are under 25$, great iem on their own (build quality is pretty cheap though) but you get an excellent cable plus and stellar set of included eartips that people go out of their way to buy on their own to use for much more expensive sets i'd personally take the cheaper zvx pro as its just a sidegrade to the gate but should be a good amount cheaper or spend abit more for the wan'er 2 for the great accessory package
r/iems • should i take truthear gate? ->Wired ones mostly have passive noise cancelling. For your money, tangzu waner 2 lang ang pasok sa budget mo na Matino tumunog.
r/ShopeePH • Best IEMs around ₱1,000? ->better get the version 2 nito.
r/ShopeePH • Best IEMs around ₱1,000? ->IEM is a wrong place to look for soundstage. Yeah there is a difference when you put 15 minutes of critical listening into the "stage" Get waner 2 for great vocal
r/iems • Wider Soundstage with Great Vocals: Truthear Gate, Moondrop Chu II or 7Hz Salnotes Zero? ->TLDR: Just buy them. Great accessories and an even greater set of IEMs I just received my unit of the Wan'er 2 and I'm blown away! I never had the first gen but I did have the Chu 2, but I gave it away. I wanted to get the Sancai tips and thought that I might as well just get the Wan'er 2 since they come with the tips. I thought that I could just give these to a friend if they wanted IEMs (they don’t but anyway…). I opened the surprisingly luxurious packaging for this price point (since the Chu 2 just comes in a random box in some plastic) and was instantly amazed. Accessories: The Saincai tips feel very nice and sound quite good with this set! The others are like the standard tips you can get with any set of IEMs so I don’t think those are very notable. The cable on the other hand feels very nice in hand but tends to be a bit weird when wearing. The earhooks are wound very tightly out of the box, which is quite odd and I didn’t really like since it feels like someone closed a door on my ear (which is of course quite exaggerated but it’s still tight and weird). You could easily follow super*review’s guide on IEM „stancing“ on YouTube though. This will just teach you to reform the earhooks by yourself. Now let’s get into the important stuff! Sound: Bass: This set absolutely slams! The bass has impact and is punchy and clean while also not drowning out the rest of the sound. I was just amazed. I totally did not expect anything like this from a 20$ set but it’s a DD after all… Mids: They sound good, the timbre is good and they sound very pleasant. Personally I would just prefer a bit more but that’s just my preference and these are great for their price. The vocals are also a bit more forward which is very nice Treble: So smooth! Not offensive whatsoever and just smooth! These are also pretty detailed and do sound a bit sparkly sometimes, but that might as well just be a good thing. The extension is also very clean and smooth Conclusion: For 20$ these are an absolute banger! They sound so good and are absolutely an endgame set of IEMs for those that don’t won’t to spend a lot! You absolutely won’t find an actual headphone this good for this amount of money. The accessories are also absolutely amazing for this price and the IEMs are absolutely worth picking up even if you just want the cable and eartips! I hope this made sense and was helpful, since I didn’t see any reviews apart from another user on this subreddit actually talking about these
r/iems • Tangzu Wan'er 2 - The blind buy nobody will regret ->I am having the same problem, it fits, but isn't comfortable
r/iems • I’m NOT looking for a good budget IEM. ->Tangzu Wan'er 2nd gen, and 7hz Zero 2. Loving them both.
r/ipod • What earbuds, IEM or headphones are you rocking with your iPod? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
