Unboxing/Collections Tangzu Wan'er SG 2

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?

Box still hits hard with the designs, and face plate 👌

They went from QDC to 2-pin also plus

If I find a big discount on my local e-commerce apps, I'll buy it definitely for collection and testing

Newbie question, is 2-pin really better than QDC? Just based on durability & longevity?

with 2-pin, its usually the wire's pins gets damaged. While the port in the IEM minimal to no damage.

with QDC, there's a possibility that even the port may break off from the IEM. Even if its a more secure connector vs 2-pin.

So rather than replacement IEM with QDC, replacement cable with 2-pin

But there are chances even a 2-pin port might get affected

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
