Youtube Video Summary
Shanling Regal is a tri-brid in ear monitor with a shimmering faceplate, smoky transparent shell and visible drivers, backed by a solid fit that stays comfortable for four to five hour sessions. The stock package feels premium for a 699 USD set, with a refined silver plated cable, multiple tuning ear tips, SpinFit extras and a dark brown case that underlines the brand focus on small details.
In its raw tuning with switch 2 off, Regal measures and sounds very V shaped, with solid but somewhat blended bass and mids that sit a little behind the mix while upper mids stay bright, plus a dipped 7 kHz region and lifted 8 to 10 kHz band for air. Engaging switch 2 brings a clear shift: bass quantity drops slightly but keeps punch and slam, vocals move forward, separation improves and the midrange becomes cleaner, smoother and more airy, while imaging becomes very clear and treble transitions feel more natural and controlled.
Compared with a cheaper Dunu DK tribrid around 499 USD, Regal keeps a similar bass shelf but has a different presentation, with slightly more blended bass and less forward vocals, so the Dunu comes across as more vivid and stylistic while the Regal feels more balanced with switch 2 engaged. Detail retrieval, resolution and extension in the upper treble are strong, giving instruments bright but not harsh overtones and a clean, precise character that suits listeners who care more about instrument performance than lush vocals. With switch 2 on, Shanling Regal earns a solid 7.0 out of 10 as a well built, technically capable set that rewards those willing to engage its tuning options rather than use it strictly in stock form.

The Shanling Regal is a high-end tribrid IEM in the roughly $700–800 bracket, built around an eight-driver hybrid array of 2 dynamic drivers, 4 balanced armatures, and 2 miniature planar drivers in an opposing dual-DD layout designed to control distortion while maintaining impact. The titanium “ice crystal” faceplates and CNC-machined metal shells result in a fairly heavy but solid build, complemented by an octa-core silver-plated copper cable with interchangeable 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs. Dual bass and treble switches provide four distinct sound profiles, giving the Regal more tuning flexibility than many fixed-signature competitors in this category.
In its more balanced “Atmosphere” or default-leaning settings, the Regal tends toward a neutral-warm presentation: bass has good extension and physicality from the dual 10 mm drivers, but is not pushed to overt basshead levels and stays reasonably controlled. The midrange is clear and slightly forward, giving vocals a natural focus, though some users report that upper mids and lower treble can become energetic or slightly “biting” on brighter material, particularly in the more treble-emphasized switch positions. Treble overall is described as clean and controlled with decent extension, offering enough sparkle for detail retrieval without being consistently sharp when the less aggressive tunings are selected.
On the technical side, the Regal’s combination of BA and planar drivers delivers strong resolution, precise imaging and a well-structured, moderately expansive soundstage that benefits from higher-quality sources. Detail retrieval and separation are competitive for its segment, though not dramatically ahead of some lower-priced tribrids, and the combination of shell weight and upper-mid energy in certain tunings can make long sessions fatiguing for sensitive listeners. With an official list price around the upper-midrange/entry-flagship tier, the Regal represents a versatile, technically capable option for listeners who prioritize adjustable tuning and balanced tonality over maximal bass quantity or the very highest tier of top-end refinement.
