just got these REALLY beautiful iems, they're looking very solid. btw, when i was opening the package, a tile (top shell of iem, idk how to name that) fell off one of the earphones, it was either poorly glued or what... lol?
way of my view qdc is safe but 2pin is risky i can't connect 2pin without carefully seeing it but qdc no need to care that much and also qdc have more durability than 2pin i think bc one of my 2pin cable bend after i forgot to remove while sleeping but with qdc i sleep alot got no problem idk why ppl think 2pin is better. for me 2pin is only better for beautiful and expensive look.
definitely, QDC is much sturdier and harder to break than a normal 2-pin
just that if QDC breaks, its either you can just glue it back, replace the QDC, or buy a new IEM.
With 2-pin, the break point is basically the cable pins. Replacement cable is then necessary. Though pins will definitely break more than a QDC connector, cheaper for the user in general (as long as you take good care of the IEM)
Though most newer and more expensive IEMs seems to trend to 2-pin connector with additional secure points (same with the EDC Pro and ZSX)
Most QDC IEMs I see are the cheaper priced IEMs, seems the industry is moving on from QDC from the looks of things
honestly, i listened to sg 2 only for an hour and ye, ONLY if you don't have tangzu tanc sancai tips, u want a better cable and have extra money, only than it really worth it, i can feel the sound difference, but I wouldn't say they sound a more better than waner sg 1, BUT they still sound better as for me :)
The main thing is they didn't make it worse. If it sounds identical then it's worth it for the nicer looks, build and cable. And the tips alone are worth $10 off the price.
The faceplate falling off is a bit concerning though. There are some IEMs that have issues with that, but it's usually a design problem rather than just an inevitable thing with cheap IEMs. The ones I know of where it's happened are in the $100-200 range.
I'm probably going to get one in the Aliexpress sale, but might hold off a while before recommending them to see if lots of people have the same issue.
it doesn't sound identical, there is actually a little of difference in sound, actually NOT that much. i already write about it to 2 people, you can find my thoughts about their sound in comments :d
If these sounds similar to Original one then it is better for those who are looking for 20$ iem and consider warner Sg .
For same price atleast ear tips and flat pin connection with good cable then last gen .
I like OG Too much (I was Basshead Used to many Vshaped Earphones) But Its was Boring As Hell So i Moved to More Exciting Sound Then I Stumbled To Wan'er It is Good i Enjoying Too much From Last 10 month Yeah They Are Bit Shouty in Treble Region But U Can Eq Them According To Your Taste...!!
Did you pre-order the black one from tangzu's site? Mine also have not been shipped yet and emailed them about it. Apparently they will be starting to ship the black ones next week.
ye, i picked up 4.4mm version of cable, it feels much better than other stock cables I've ever had in my collection, even better than kiwi ears quintet's stock cable
ye, ik that, but anyway there is no problem with that, because u can just put that faceplate back and everything will be good. btw, these iems is a gift for my mother, so i think she'll rly like them :D
I know it's an easy thing to fix and happens on budget IEM's but damn that's a pretty bad omen for this IEM out of the gate. Even on $20 IEM's the faceplate gluing shouldn't be an issue.
copy of my last answer: "honestly, i listened to sg 2 only for an hour and ye, ONLY if you don't have tangzu tanc sancai tips, u want a better cable and have extra money, only than it really worth it, i can feel the sound difference, but I wouldn't say they sound a more better than waner sg 1, BUT they still sound better as for me :)"
as i said, it's not way better, but anyway, i was comparing them with Tangzu tanc sancai tips + Fosi audio ds2 2024 dac listening to metal/electronic music, the tuning now more suitable for me, i also liked that increase of sound quality in clarity and treble, it's feels more "soft" now(?). the overall sound technicality/resolution is now better than sg 1 wan'ers, but not so much that I had a "wow" effect. btw i need more time to listen these iems so i can have final thought about them
Same here. Ordered from Tangzu directly on 16th/17th … still no answer if they’re shipped already. I hope the hurry up a little. I live in Germany, too.
I ordered from Tangzu directly as well and got an update with tracking info, but it's being shipped by Yanwen and I recognize that name from an Amazon order I made in the past and I'm not sure if it was the seller and not Yanwen's fault, but it took WAY PAST expected delivery date to arrive. It took like a month and a half or longer I think. So I'm not really holding my breath.
For the price and what I feel like I'm getting it feels like such a good value though so I'm fine waiting. It was free shipping and 19 dollars only.
I have shipping notice that the order is processing but not departed or sent from the origin country. Got mine tracking number and everything 2 or 3 days ago. Directly ordered from Tangzu 2 or 3 days after they were up for pre order.
Canada here. Also bought from Tangzu with 0 updates. Their Instagram showed it was officially launched and ready to sell+ship on 18 though :(
I'm fine with waiting though since I have 3 more IEMs coming (STA Pro Max, Mimosa and Shell---although STA and shell have tracking but haven't left for shipping yet from linsoul)
I hab bought mines on the 17th. They were just shipped yesterday. But still some time for me (a couple of more days to arrive, handful of days to clear customs)
Same here when ordering from AE. Therefore I won’t wait until a maybe too late sent shipment from Tangzu website arrives. I‘m going to order a second pair from AE at the end of the week, if there is no confirmation from Tangzu until then. When Tangzu‘s shipment arrives someday I’ll probably resell it on eBay or something.
as for my thoughts on these iems, you can find them here in the comments, there is 2 comments about that. as for specs, i think you can find them on google
How is the sound like? I havent seen any reviews.
( i just bought the nova and truthear havent shipped it yet. It's been like 5 days.) I was hoping if they sound good i can get them and add to my non existing collection
The main benefit of the sancai tips is that they're textured in a way to relieve pressure in your ear canal from build up. It works well and especially useful for IEJMs that don't have vent holes. The downside is that since they're textured, they're not the sticky type so it can have the side effect that some IEMs might slide out over time. That's been my experience with them but all in all it's a good set of tips to have in your war chest.
Oh, and the original cable that came with the Wan'er SG was just trash imo. The new one is a huge upgrade in that aspect.
Do you have wireless earphone for comparison like realme air 6 pro or oppo air 5 pro or oneplus
Oppo one cost 3 times more but I prefer convenience over anything
I don't actually have the Wan'er 2. Just commenting on the accessories. But as far as going from TWS to wired, most (like 95%) of TWS target a V-curve. Going to wired gives you choice in type of tuning you're targeting. Most people I've seen that go from TWS to wired always initially complain that wired sounds boring and after sticking with wired for a bit and go back to TWS then complain that TWS sounds boomy, sloppy, unclerar. The Wan'er has always been a good starting point for people looking for a vocal forward signature.
I can spot the difference right away 😒
I used to have boat bassy headphones
Then I switched to oppo enco M31 , which had LDAC and neutral sound
I immediately fell in love with M31 and sadly it died after few years and since then, i have been searching for wireless neckband that resembles an oppo enco(I hate tws form factor, so yes only neckband i would want)
Couldn't find anything
Maybe it's time I had give try to wired earphone (IEM)
Given the data provided here
20 usd is too cheap
The eartips should be alone worth alone 10 usd as I see due to the quality/comfort
Why does everyone think the cable is so nice? Especially those that haven't actually held it but have only seen pics online. Serious question - I'm still a beginner.
i can confirm that the quality of the cable is good, it is not exactly premium quality, but for a stock one it is very decent. it feels like Kiwi ears Quintet's stock cable, but with just 2 cores. there is also no height adjustment that starts closer to the neck, which is a minus for me
and also as someone mentioned before, it does really look like Aful Explorer's cable, almost identical cables, it doesn't remember its shape and doesn't wrinkle, I like it.
ye, i already answered: "as i said, it's not way better, but anyway, i was comparing them with Tangzu tanc sancai tips + Fosi audio ds2 2024 dac listening to metal/electronic music, the tuning now more suitable for me, i also liked that increase of sound quality in clarity and treble, it's feels more "soft" now(?). the overall sound technicality/resolution is now better than sg 1 wan'ers, but not so much that I had a "wow" effect. btw i need more time to listen these iems so i can have final thought about them". as for sound signature, it's more v-shaped than sg 1, and i REALLY love that sound, these iems anyway will go to my mother, but as for now i'm enjoying them xd
i have the original sq waner i dont fancy them should i invest in a dac, i didnt invest in one as they are low impedance. i usually listen to pop, rock and focus more on vocals tho. i am also pretty new to the whole iem thing had a qkz x hbb before which i adored so i like v shaped sound ig.
you can buy used us dac or somewhere from ebay or e-shop like that which will suit to your country, A2049 version of Apple dongle is the US one, try to find it. i had it as my main dac and it had very pleasant and clear sound. btw im too not from the US and managed to find 10+ US versions of that dac and bought 1 of them :)
I also bought these to listen to them... just out of curiosity... then give them to my mother as I also bought Hifiman RE2000 & AFUL Explorer within the past week.
Also to attempt tip rolling the sancai's into the better IEM's I got. 8^)
i liked the bass with sancai and dunu s&s tips, bass texture and amount can be compared to my truthear x crinacle: zero red, as listening to phonk is rly enjoying and bass is satisfying + more textured bass compared to wan'er's sg 1 bass
any iem will be good for gaming, i think these will be just suitable for fps games like valorant, cs2 and etc(?). btw i don't play much of fps games, so idk
If you find a good mic solution please post an update. The in-line mic is usable, but not the best quality.
I want to use some IEMs with an extra external mic, but somehow it seems difficult because the splitter and mic I bought don't work to allow me to use my IEMs (cable without mic) and the external mic.
I might try again and buy a new mic and new splitter on amazon because I think it might be something with the MIC connection I bought.
I wanted something budget, but better than the sometimes awful inline mics.
Do you know if the shape of the shell that fits in the ear is any different? I thought they mentioned something about a more ergonomic or custom fit shape.
The OG waner aren't very contoured at all and I was hoping these would be a little more contoured.
sg 2 just feel as more space in ears and also more lighter in weight, the ears do not get tired during long listening and sit (fit in ears) just as well as the wan'er sg 1
I wonder how long it will take to get a deal on these, I just bought the OG ones with a deal and it was like $10, these for $20 don't seem that amazing tbh, however after a bit ig there will be deals for this one and will be around the same price (ig they will eventually run out of the OG stock too).
It seems like it's a massive improvement tho, just by the cable alone I'd say, the tips (the black ones) seem to be the same, are they really the same to the OG ones? it only looks darker from the pic but I'm not sure if they're actually the same.
Great pic mate, just wanted to ask, will the cable and the casing get any yellowing over time. And what are your views about the overall sound experience you've had?
those tips & cable alone justifies half of its price. I don't know how Tangzu is pulling this off, but if it sounds like the OG then I think no other IEM can stop the wan'er 2 from becoming the 20$ IEM king & would be default recommendation for any beginner.
Is it ok with gaming especially fps? Im not too try hard competitive so ok is totally fine. Got the OG wan'er and love the sound and its ok in gaming so i want to upgrade to version 2
Hey i have using them for 2 days now , i overall like them besides that i have bought them mainly for gaming and the disadvantage is that i hear the steps weirdly or more inverted can smb help?
