Well tuned. Techs are middling. But for the price they are solid. The fact that they include Final E eartips makes this a must buy. QC is a crap shoot.

Youtube Video Summary

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.

The Tanchjim Bunny offers a balanced, warm sound signature that works well across genres. Its bass is full and extends decently, though texture lacks refinement, while the midrange presents vocals naturally with good clarity and minimal harshness. Treble remains smooth and inoffensive, contributing to a non-fatiguing listen, but the soundstage is average in size and separation struggles with complex tracks.

A major highlight is the optional DSP cable, which unlocks extensive customization via Tanchjim's app . This allows access to EQ presets, a 5-band parametric equalizer, and a community-driven profile library, significantly enhancing flexibility . While the Android app experience is robust, iOS functionality is reportedly less reliable . For its price, the Bunny delivers commendable technical performance and exceptional value, especially with the DSP version.
