TANCHJIM x Effect Audio Force

Gizaudio Axel: Mid-forward, neutral-bass sound signature. Not very versatile across genres. Clean mids and forward vocals. Light bass impact, upper mids can get intense, and average detail.
Jaytiss: The open back nature of this iem is compelling!
IEMRanking AI: The TANCHJIM x Effect Audio Force employs a dual dynamic driver configuration, pairing a 10mm titanium-coated bass driver with an 8.2mm beryllium-coated mid-high driver. This setup, managed through...

Tanchjim Origin

Jays Audio: Just buy Fission. A cleaner/less warm LM, smoother EA1000 (fermats a little more resolving), very balanced, clean, and neutral sound. Very tough competition.
Gizaudio Axel: Smooth, detailed, and vocal-centric sound. Cohesive, vocal-focused tuning with dynamic bass, smooth extended treble, and excellent detail. Could use more sub-bass.
Jaytiss: Great Clarity, exceedingly tip sensitive.
Precogvision: Japanese flavor of tuning (mid-bass and upper-mid focus) finally done justice. Strong technical chops and slightly forward.
Tim Tuned: Beautiful timbre and treble Bass can use a bit more...volume
Shuwa-T: One of the more balanced sounding Tanchjim iems, vocal centric Quantity in the bass region, more noticeably the subbass
Drew / Audionotions: Yes, it's expensive for a single DD imaging and separation is top tier with very good layering - frankly, I haven't heard many sets near this price that have done the same. There is a bit of subbass...

Tanchjim Fission

Jays Audio: Exact same driver and tuning as the Origin (with middle dial on S-SILVER NOZZLE) but with less premium build/design/cable/case - a welcomed hit for better value. Clean, neutral, balanced, full, and...
Jaytiss: Such a Fantastic little set.
Super* Review: Fairly unoffensive with a slightly bright/forward tone. Pillowy bass attack and overall presentation aren’t very engaging; the bass dial doesn’t meaningfully change that.
IEMRanking AI: The Tanchjim Fission delivers a notably neutral with vocal-forward presentation in its default configuration, emphasizing clarity and articulation in the midrange without excessive coloration. Bass...

Tanchjim Oxygen

Crin: One of the best-tuned DDs tuned somewhat to Harman. Defined and detailed.
Precogvision: A better KXXS with slightly out-of-head imaging.
Tim Tuned: Great energy for a harman signature
Shuwa-T: Solid tuning, a more mature sounding Hana Forward upper midrange may not be for everyone
Nymz: Great IEM for accoustics etc, but terrible fit. Tripowin Olina is the better option for almost a third of the price.

Tanchjim Hana 2021

Jays Audio: An Oxygen with more bass and note-weight but at the cost of slightly worse imaging and detail.
Precogvision: Essentially a cheaper Tanchjim Oxygen.
Tim Tuned: Cheaper Oxygen with small cut back in details
Shuwa-T: Comment: Better tuned upper midrange compared to the original Hana. Decent tonality, difficult to fault Can be somewhat aggressive sounding at times
Nymz: A warmer, bassier, slightly less technical and a bit more V-shaped Oxygen. Rec'd for those that love harman but want more bass quantity.
Bad Guy Good Audio: Great bass (accurate) mids. One of the best 1/DD sets Ghetto cable. Looks like girls jewelry
Drew / Audionotions: Best single DD in this price tier - a step down in imaging and separation from Origin but it is a more fun to listen to given the bass shelf. Better fit than Origin too but YMMV. Loaner

Tanchjim Kara

Jays Audio: Clean and natural midrange focused signature that's right up my alley. Open and airy staging with great instrument layering. Still very resolving even though it lacks the last bit of treble detail....
Jaytiss: Has nice treble, good technicals. But it's super expensive for me.
Tim Tuned: Very smooth and organic midrange, great treble Lacking some bass dynamics

Tanchjim Tanya

Precogvision: Remarkably well-balanced tuning and slightly out of head imaging.
Shuwa-T: Comment: Bass-boosted, warmer sounding Quarks with similar resolution. Harman-tuned inoffensive sound Can sound muddy on crowded tracks
Nymz: Bad fit (bullet style). Ok for the price but I can't really rec it. Needs a lot of power, which is a non-sense. Great acessories. Stage presentation is good but depth isn't. Bloated tuning.
Drew / Audionotions: Bought for the filters. It's not a bad set to throw in the backpack. Nothing special but also not offensive. Previously Owned
