I have both and I like both about equally for different reasons. I like my bass and the Heyday takes some of the bass away from the og but it's a tradeoff because it offers better clarity and still has a great bass response (there's also the modular cable and better build to consider). I think either are a outstanding option for treble sensitive folks like myself that are in the market for a planar. Thank you for the nice comparison! 👍
I have both, the OG Wu and the Heyday. I much prefer the Heyday by a long shot. The taming of the sub bass and taming the pinna gain let’s the mid-bass and the lower mids much more impactful. Plus Heyday has a polish or sheen to the sound signature that I personally find addicting. 😊YMMV as well as your preferences.
If you’re looking to use a dac/EQ like the Qudelix would it matter which planar you went with? It seems like if you could tune out issues you would want the most comfortable/aesthetically pleasing? Any thoughts?
The Tea is airier and has a larger soundstage. It has drier mids but better note definition. I think if you're looking for more body and upfront presentation the Heyday will work. If you want something a little closer to the Tea sound consider the Letshuoer S12 Pro or the Timeless.
To be honest, there's not much stuff better until you get into the $300+ range. But most of the stuff I've been getting lately is $200 and under or over $400. There's nothing that comes to mind at the moment until higher up like the Meze ADVAR or Earsonics ONYX. However, I will finally be going to CanJam again next month and after that will have a much more updated list.
HBB is played out already. He comes out with his version of the same IEM too often. People need to stop supporting this garbage. Companies are getting lazy.
These have a very soft presentation to my ears.
Well balanced with good resolution and separation, but lacks excitement.
Yes, I agree they are a bit dull.
I love the case, i take out the foam and use it as a Amp / DAP case, but yeah i agree with the color scheme... if only it's in red or gold!!

Would those work with iPhones ?😊
@@ElNINETEENTH planars need more power. Sorry.
@@fiddlix what do you mean they need more power I don’t understand???
@@ElNINETEENTH you will need a decent dongle to get the most out of any planar. It’s too much to explain over text. Do your research on google.
@@ElNINETEENTHyou need to use a dac like the fiio ka1, because planars require a lot of power to sound decently loud
Agree with your review.... I find I keep going back to the S12 pro, timeless, and eternal for more fun factor.
You and me both! In hindsight, I should have added the S12 Pro in the comparison too.
@@PrimeAudioReviews here i can get the s12 pro a 100$ cheaper. I should get the s12 pro right?
Would those work with an iPhone ?
Thank you for the Video! Will you test the new moondrop lan?
Yes, soon
Great Comparison. I'll stay with my Tangzu Zetian Wu until a another updated Tangzu
Can't wait to hear the next one!
Sounds like this is a good default set, the main fallback where others would be fatiguing as a main.

EQ can work to a certain degree but it can't mimick technical performance.
would you recommend this heyday or the aful performer 5?
I haven't heard the Performer 5 yet.
How is the fit in ear? That's really important.
Is it easy on the ear?
Very comfortable, just like the original model.
Are they good for rock / metal 🤔
Yes, but the original model is still better.
What do you think of these compared to the Mangird Tea ? My Tea broke and Im searching for a new IEM :-)

@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you
Im guessing none of these are an obvious step up from an S12 right? What’s the next clear step up in your opinion?
To be honest, there's not much stuff better until you get into the $300+ range. But most of the stuff I've been getting lately is $200 and under or over $400.

@@PrimeAudioReviews been recommended the Tea2. Think that’s one?
Which is which in the frequency response chart?
Heyday is the red one.
Hi, thank you for the review.
I know they are in different price brackets, but how would you compare the Heyday to the HBB Olina SE?
Olina SE has less bass and brighter upper midrange. Heyday is more resolving but has softer/rounder attacks.
How is it for guitar players?
It would be fine for that so long as you give it enough power.
Suggestions for Hi Res Audio IEMs under $50 please
KZ ZS10 Pro X, 7Hz Zero, Kiwi Ears Caldera, Tin Hifi C3.
@@PrimeAudioReviews 👍
@@PrimeAudioReviews i believe that was supposed to be Kiwi Ears Cadenza
Lol yeah

The original is better plus it's cheaper.
