So glad I went for the TD20 instead of a flash in the pan set like Luna. Tiandirenhe has a unbelievable winner on their hands. 86/100 score from me. Slight planar timbre at times is the only issue I have with it. Stunning dynamic sound.
@ I have the TD08 Pro and it has a gorgeous build and sounds very punchy and dynamic while remaining clear. But TD20 is on another level. This company has been excellent and has my attention for sure!!
Not as substantial as you assume but it is an upgrade. PRX happens to be very nice and most of the nicer planar drivers are similar in performance. Tuning matters too.
Happy New Year 2025 Bro Paul Wasabii 🙏🙂👍 KZ Castor Pro Bass VS Tanchjim Bunny DSP, which IEM is better to buy according to your personal preferences between these two IEMs and why ? Thank you Brother 🙏🙂👍
Yeah, the PRX was there but I didn't really talk much about it. It was mostly on my mind as I have been listening to it in the middle of ET142 and Timeless 2. And planar graphs are tough without a longer explanation.
well disappointment here , can we only had Bass and Harmen , when is any Mfr utilize the analytical , technical capabilities , fast response the planar had and give us a more reference monitor tuning , something IEF Neutral or Kamer Diffused Field ( not tilted ) or even just good old Diffused Field / Free Field at this stage of IEM development I feel like there is no reason to get a new one , tuning is all the same and new ones really only repeating
I think most brands are chasing the money and watched what sold in the past. Tuning planars is hard as there just isn't as much experience out there to do it. Also why brands turn to partners for help and all the sets start to look similar.
The best tips are the ones that fit in your ear comfortably and seal well. imo it's got nothing to do with what driver is inside the shell but the shell (and nozzle) itself. That may mean you need to use different tips for different iems. I've even changed tips when I changed cables because it was pulling on the shell, altering fit and compromising my seal.
@@spamcan9208 In my experience, eartips play a key role in fine-tuning the sound of earphones. The material (silicone or foam), shape (wide or narrow), and dimensions all make a difference in how the earphone reproduces sound. This is especially true for planars, which often have a bright tonality in the treble region. A good eartip can make the sound less fatiguing. That is why im asking.

What the previous guy said, the tips that fit your ears. These happen to be KB07 in large which are mostly always yellow stems. Other brands have them, usually 07 in the name: keephifi.com/products/kbear-07-eartips
hope some more Nightingale like tunings will come out in the planar realms. i cant stand those harmanesue vshaped tunings anymore. one like another. overwhelming bass, mids only suitable for vocals (if anything) and overdone treble to satisfy the sparkle guys. i own most of the planar iems under 1000 and besides the nightingale and the t1 plus they all are consumer tuned bass and treble monsters
I think you can trace it back to S12 or Timeless. Not sure which is the parent of that bass level, but it got copied in most of the sets using similar drivers. Dioko and the Dunu were different.
TL2 comes with 4 tuning nozzles. Both the silver and gold nozzles have plenty of treble extension without harshness. I am sure one of them will suits your listening preferences. - Larry of 7Hz
@@TBMartin Use the default gold nozzle. This will provide a close proximity to the Timeless AE. Following customers and reviewers feedback, we have tuned the TL2 to offer a slightly more bass-heavy sound than the original TL. - Larry of 7Hz

I love your insights, as always. I'm poised for T2 and ET142 reviews.
So glad I went for the TD20 instead of a flash in the pan set like Luna. Tiandirenhe has a unbelievable winner on their hands. 86/100 score from me. Slight planar timbre at times is the only issue I have with it. Stunning dynamic sound.
I am not sure Luna made it to flavor of the moment as there are just a few measurements. Glad you got a set that works for you
Is that a good company? I ordered 2 beautiful looking sets. TD08 & TD10. Should get it next week.
@ I have the TD08 Pro and it has a gorgeous build and sounds very punchy and dynamic while remaining clear. But TD20 is on another level. This company has been excellent and has my attention for sure!!
the s08 is great with penon liquor tips placed at the nozzle line and a deep fit. It pops, well worth the $70 or so they cost.
My Penon tips are on the way from China, so I will try your recommendation!
The black or orange versions?
@ I have the orange ones. So it has a more spatial effect (at least how I have it placed). Black is a little more bass perception than orange.
@@Kenbousou they work great on the sennheiser ie200 and simgot supermix 4 as well, in case you have those.
@@Hijynx87 Awesome, good to know. The orange ones def seem more to my liking.
Happy with my Prx. Thinking if S12 2024 would be a substantial upgrade..
Not as substantial as you assume but it is an upgrade. PRX happens to be very nice and most of the nicer planar drivers are similar in performance. Tuning matters too.
Nice video 👍
Wow, Et142 is intriguing, even if they'll ultimately pick pick one of the latter nozzles and make it fixed.
I am sure they are considering all the options and don't want another half release.
Shozy P20s for $70 is a crazy value. They have the updated 14.5mm planars in them.
Shozy P20 are very nice and with their manufacturing partner on that one, no surprise.
I really like the Lunas, especially for the price.
Its ok for the price
🥳🎉 Happy New Year, Paul! 🎉🥳
😇 May God Bless You Always! 😇

Waiting for Tangzu zetian wu the legend review, budget dual planar.
Might be waiting a while. I am waiting to hear first impressions like everyone else. Or even a graph
I prefer PRX over Luna, i would have put them instead but Luna is a decent set too for their price.
Luna is ok, PRX is better.
Happy New Year 2025 Bro Paul Wasabii 🙏🙂👍
KZ Castor Pro Bass VS Tanchjim Bunny DSP, which IEM is better to buy according to your personal preferences between these two IEMs and why ?
Thank you Brother 🙏🙂👍
No idea but Castor Pro bass is really for people who want more bass. If that isn't you, Bunny looks ok.
hi is there a possibility to review ziigaat odyssey?
I would like to, but probably not going to happen. I liked Arcadia, I think Odyssey is supposed to be slightly better.
You didn't show the graph for the PRX? People will assume it's no good, being disregarded in that way.. 😅
Yeah, the PRX was there but I didn't really talk much about it. It was mostly on my mind as I have been listening to it in the middle of ET142 and Timeless 2. And planar graphs are tough without a longer explanation.
He already has a review of the PRX
@Bakashi Yes, elsewhere, my point stands. If you only saw this, you would think it's no good.

Can't hear the sound of the video 😢
Try a laptop or something else..audio is there
@PaulWasabii yeah for some weird reason Audio wasn't working for some time.

If they really have smoothed out the Timeless 2 and got rid of the bite, I'm disappointed. I like the bite in the Timeless.
It still has plenty of treble.
@ReverendDr.Thomas I'll find out when I buy it, like the sucker I am lol
