You are up there with the best TH-cam reviewers. Hope this sounds like a compliment. I give high credit to the reviewers being helpful and even educational in IEMs and the stuff associated with them.
I was getting fomo from the Mangrid Tea 2 because the overall packaging and aesthetics but after hearing your comparisons galore, I am super happy I chose the Dynaquattro for my Bassy Fun set 😎
I know aesthetics are very subjective but i much prefer the OG Teas compared to Mk2 and Mk3 personally. I wish companies gave us the options to choose. I know some do (ThieAudio with the Hype line) but its pretty rare.
Already have the Tea Pros and is my favorite set currently.. I am waiting for the Estrella’s to arrive. I am exited to compare both based on your feedback. However, my right Tea Pro IEM suffered from “muffled” sound, kinda weird… switched cables, as I have custom ones, still the same and I ended up taking a break, went back about an hour later and it was back to normal, not sure if your sets suffered from that. I have engaged Linsoul for a replacement as it is probably defective, very surprised and shocked with the build quality and how they boast about being hand made.
mine does it to on the left side, so does another person I saw in Fresh's youtube comments, its as bad as a 7db imbalance do let me know what linsoul says
It happens with metal iems. the filters get moisture , so make sure to wipe/dab them every so often. Keep a silica gel packet inside the iem case as well.
Damn. Comparing the graphs of the Tea lineup, usually companies do minor changes addressing most of the complaints/refining from the previous generation, adding extra driver or two. With the Tea, it feels like they took a 180 turn and completely changed it, they may as well rename it. With the OG Tea, many praised it for the vocals alone. That new one looks like..everything else but at higher price. A bit uninspiring. Maybe its worth it if you get it for the drivers it packs and plan on EQ'ing it but for plug-and-play, as you said there are many options for cheaper. And i heard that the OG Tea wasn't your cup of "Tea" but it had its niche of consumers.
Xenns Tea Pro is two times on your list. Once in A- tier " Nice Bass, fun, but lacks upper air and extension to be great." And once way down there in C tier "It's not bad, sorta neutral and mid."
Skip is my default setting for 99% of the iems that come out. One has to be something different, a significant improvement over it's predecessors and in my price budget(capped at $500) for me to even consider it. It's just a cash grab by these manufacturers at this point and preying on the addiction of the shopaholics.
It's hard when the tuning of so many iems is so very similiar. It's not a bad set. In a vacume I could recomend this over a lot of sets for those who want it, but it feels too ununique to full recommend.
I mean, Linsoul seems to be related to many of these companies in one way or another so, its no surprise half of them "sound the same". I like Jaytiss for being honest instead of just overhyping everything that hits the market. They are good products but you likely can get it for 100$ from another sub brand and have 85-95% of the experience.

Thanks I appreciate that.
I got the Kiwi Ears. KE4…I absolutely adore the tuning and reply. I bought them on your rec. your batting 1000 with my ears. Thank you..!
I’m glad you like them. I think it’s the set to beat at 200.

Hopefully it works out.

do let me know what linsoul says
@apkenna joyce's Review made a comparison with the Estrella's

Since I got hype 4 I haven't looked back. I use 2 autoeq profiles that I switch between depending on my mood (hbb and jaytiss targets)
It's such a good set.
yeah man! hype 4 is cats meow.😁
Great review 👍
Thanks! 👍. ❤️😍
Tea 2 is a top tier rock and metal set
I'm glad that you like it.
Jaytiss, thank you for another wonderful earphone review! 👌

Need to have a listen to this one
It’s strong. You might love.
Wow I see Annihilator 2023 in your list having very good specs and only for $3k I always assumed its $6k
I've seen a few going used for $2200. But it's all preference.
@Jaytiss yeah obviously it's all preference good to hear it's down to $2200!
Might as well call it Tea 3 already.
This!
What's the nozzle's lip width? It looks to be at least 6mm, quite wide
I don’t have it anymore it was a loan.

It’s a very good set, but it’s a sea of similar tunes and best of sets. While a fantastic set I’m not ready to say its best in class.

There are 3 teas it's confusing. Mangrid tea, tea2, and tea pro 2024. I think I fixed it.
@@Jaytiss 👍
Interesting, you're probably the only person i have seen say something negative about these
I think it is a solid strong set with few downsides yet lacked that incisiveness that I would want. Very good and enjoyable.
