Balanced All-rounder. Basically the same as OG Waner but with a little more treble air, helps boost resolution and imaging by a tiny tiny bit. Accesories are great for the price, sancai tips + nice cable

The original Wan'Er. But with a better cable, better build, a full set of Tang Sancai Tips, and a nicer, more premium feeling build. Same great vocal focused sound.
