Tanchjim Bunny VS KZ Taurus

Youtube Video Summary

Build & comfort punch above the price: a tiny, exceedingly comfortable single-DD shell with a translucent finish, secure metal-lipped nozzle, and a soft cable with in-line mic/remote and a chin slider that actually stays put. The two-pin socket is non-standard, so cable swapping is limited. Accessories are generous for the money—two full tip sets, pouch, booklet—and the 3.5 mm mic version or USB-C option makes it an easy daily carry, especially for small ears.

Tonally this is a chill, non-fatiguing listen with a balanced signature, smooth midrange, and vocals that sit naturally up front. Bass isn’t overdone yet carries enough weight, while treble has a touch of upper-air sparkle that keeps things lively without turning sharp. Imaging and depth are surprisingly good for the bracket, making the Bunny equally at home with music and casual media.

Against peers, it recalls sets like Dunu KIMA and NiceHCK NX8 in overall contour, but the Bunny’s slight warmth and extension make it feel more easy-going and engaging. Older Tanchjim models (e.g., Hana) come off a bit “mid,” and while Kara may edge it technically, Bunny’s tuning is simply more relaxed and agreeable. Impedance adapters didn’t meaningfully change response (and can be risky for amps), so stock is the move. Verdict: a solid B (7.7 / three stars) with a strong recommendation at the price—arguably a top pick under $25 and a great giftable IEM for everyday listening.

The TANCHJIM Bunny comes in as a truly accessible budget option around twenty dollars, with a small, lightweight shell, detachable two-pin cable with mic and a simple pouch and tip selection that still feel thoughtfully put together rather than like a throwaway pack-in. The medical-grade polycarbonate housing with stainless steel faceplate feels better than the price suggests, the fit is secure and comfortable for long sessions, and the slightly larger nozzle may only be an issue for very sensitive ears.

Sonically this version takes on a neutral warm signature with a little extra mid-bass and low-mid energy, giving male vocals and instruments some welcome body while keeping the overall presentation balanced. Bass quantity sits right in the middle: not boosted or boomy, but with enough mid-bass punch and decent sub-bass extension to add weight, even if speed and texture are only okay for the price. The upper mids are a bit more forward, bringing vocals to the front without sounding shouty, while the treble stays on the smoother, more relaxed side, trading some air and shimmer for an easy, non-fatiguing listen.

Technical performance is about average for a budget set: detail retrieval, soundstage, imaging and layering are all in the acceptable to good range for this price, without doing anything flashy. Where the Bunny really stands out is tuning, sitting right alongside other favorite budget sets in this collection and arguably offering the most natural presentation of the bunch, especially for listeners who do not want a hard V-shape or overly mid-forward sound. For those looking for a relaxed, neutral-leaning daily driver at low cost, this is an easy recommendation and a great little all-rounder.

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.

Youtube Video Summary

KZ Taurus is a Keep Hi-Fi exclusive 2DD with dual 8 mm drivers in a horizontal layout, tuned neutral-bright with a clear vocal-focused tilt. Upper mids and lower treble are pushed forward for vivid presence, while a long-glide bass shelf supplies body and a crisp impact; keeping volume modest preserves warmth and balance.

Compared with recent KZ tunings that sit closer to a Harman-style V, Taurus trades big-end excitement for midrange clarity, which also means a more typical stage size and less audible upper-treble air at this price. Vocal tracks benefit most; higher-energy EDM or bass-heavy material will highlight the dominant upper mids, whereas mixed content at lower volumes showcases a clean presentation and solid fundamentals for the money.
