Cheesy name, good iem. You can buy on Amazon.
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.

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.

Nice frequency response. Stellar Cable. Bright but not overly in the vocals. I would still call it a mild V-Shaped sound signature.

Female vocals focused tuning with decent separation between instrumentals Because of the over emphasis on female vocals, it does not replay male centric or bassier genres well

  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Bass C+
Bass performance is average—present enough but rarely inspiring. It neither offends nor impresses.
Mids D+
Midrange is highly uneven, veering between shouty peaks and hollow dips. Tonality swings between shouty and withdrawn.

Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Dynamics E-
Dynamic expression is extremely poor, draining impact from every hit. Notes lack the startle or decay they need.
Soundstage C-
Stereo spread is acceptable, yet the image resembles a stage set without depth behind the curtain. Depth feels more like a gentle slope.
Details B
Finer gestures snap into focus without sounding clinical or forced. Layering holds strong across genres.
Imaging B-
A stable phantom center appears, lending vocals a consistent anchor. It maintains a coherent phantom center.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
