Ambient Acoustics AM16 VS Tanchjim Bunny

Tanchjim Bunny lands as a tiny, cute, ultra-cheap $20 brawler that punches way up. It’s a single dynamic with a clever acoustic maze back-chamber that keeps reflections in check, yielding surprisingly holographic space for something this small. The tuning sits neutral-leaning and intimate—vocals and guitars feel close, detailed, and clean, without the “in-your-face hurts” problem. Bass isn’t a bloated “basshead bomb,” but when fed heavy tracks it digs deep and stays composed; on normal music it behaves, staying tight and controlled.

Build and kit are simple but right where they need to be: detachable 2-pin cable, in-line mic, basic tips (swap to Render-style tips for best seal). There are two versions in the wild—this regular 3.5 mm set and a DSP cable version—yet even straight analog on a neutral source the Bunny sounds shockingly grown-up. Net take: this is a 5:1 value play that can hang with many $100 IEMs, delivering clarity, intimacy, and satisfying low-end control at a price that feels unreal. If the goal is “cheap that actually slaps,” Bunny ears up.
