Mangird Tea

Mangird Tea - An Upgraded Version of the Ten
Mangird is truly a perfectionist while making and creating the astonishing HiFi earphones. Following the first legend model, Mangird Ten, the audio engineers have take numerous work in improving the new model-Tea. Just like the name, this model takes that much time as making a cup of tea and displays details as you are tasting the tea, lingering aftertaste is so attractive.

6BA+1DD, Natural and Balanced
As a professional HiFi brand, we know the skills to get the right driver configurations, thus we are adopting 2*Knowles RAD-33518 for high frequency, 4*Sonion 2600 for mid frequency and 1*German Bio-titanium dynamic driver to present an overall flexible, natural and balanced sound signature. The mids and higs are quite detailed and transparent while the vocals are full of emotions, bass is super powerful, and one of the best choice for classic music, the broad sound field is played to full.

Imported Egger Resin Shell
Functionality is not the only pursuit of Mangird, we take the art of craftsmanship at the same level. Featuring an amber crystal clear cavity, made from high quality German imported material, we add some luxurious flavor to it by embellishing the gold foils on the faceplate. The shimmering material is quite eye-catching under any circumstances.

Detachable MMCX OCC Cable.
For Mangird Tea, we choose the 8 core high quality OCC cable for stable, lossless music transmission. With this cable, the sound is clearer and smoother. Detachable also ensures fully upgradability for more choice. You can change it for any other cables you prefer. MMCX connector is proved to be durable and stable.

These are simplified Thieaudio Legacy L9.
Their main problem is poor separation. Typical chi-fi =)

Bought the Mangird Tea from LINSOUL and swapped the eartips with AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC. It sounds awesome, good instruments separation, airy and wide. The mids and highs are very detailed and transparent, the vocals are full of emotions, bass is impactful, rumble and super powerful. It sounds way way way above its price. I am glad I clicked on the buy button. LINSOUL should have send some units out for review as currently there aren't many review available.

Best IEM i have in my possession, if 300 dollars is your limit you cant go wrong with this

At the same price there are Moondrop Blessing 2 and Dunu DK-2001. I wonder which one is better for metal (prog/death/thrash/core).

For metal - Try Starsea

The TRI Starsea IEMs have 40% discount on HIFIGO jsut right now... I'm so tempted...

I had these sitting idle in my collection because I thought they were too bass-lite and too bright. I just swapped out the Sedna Earfit tips I was using for some Final E tips (they're smaller bore) and everything seems perfectly balanced now. What a difference!

Final E tips work for me as well. I have the most recent version of the Tea (lip on nozzle and 2-pin connection). This new version comes with some KZ Starline tips (or a really good knockoff). I found the Starline tips to provide nearly the same sonics as the Final E tips, but the Final E is just slightly more comfortable in my ears.

I've heard criticisms that the Mangird Tea is difficult to get a good fit, or it creates some sort of air suction that is uncomfortable. Some people even complained they could only use foams. I've not had any of those problems, maybe there was a change in this newer version?

The tuning is not neutral and it is not an extreme v-shape either. There is a clear distinction between lows, mids, and highs. And right from the get-go... I achieved deep bass, mids with excellent clarity, and detailed highs with no sibilance whatsoever. Excellent instrument separation, sounds rather expansive to me.

Acoustic instruments sound true, male/female vocals are spot-on, and bass is powerful and tight with no muddying up the mids. Some people have said that the bass is weak/anemic. I think that might be caused by one of 3 things - 1) Not a good seal with tips, or maybe 2) using too wide of bore tips, or 3) defective dynamic driver. The Tea has plenty of bass, but it won't satisfy those who prefer bass to be the over-dominating character of the music.

The Mangird Tea is an excellent set that presents music realistically. I think it's worth $300 easily, and a steal at $200-$225 when purchased used.

I completely agree with your opinion. I got that same version of the Tea just two days ago, so I still trying them. But since the first listening I noticed that they definitely don't have a weak bass. Although that bass can only be achieved by finding the most appropriate tips for each person.
The tips similar to the KZ Starline gave me the best result in sealing and bass response. However, I feel like losing a little detail with them, and now I'm testing the Spinfit CP-100.

Absolutely, experimenting with tips is crucial for getting best sound... maybe moreso with the Tea, not sure.

How is the fit on nozzle with the Spinfit CP-100? The Final E is pretty tight, but they fit. I was thinking about getting some Spinfit. Please let me know how they work out.

The bass on Lovebirds, Dove Sei (Original Deep mix) is outstanding, along with the holographic-ness at around the 3:00 mark. Same with Edgar Winter, Frankenstein.

I always listen to Alisha Popat, African Inspired Covers, Alive.... to check for bass impact. That drum is deep and powerful and the Tea is excellent there.

Nils Lofgren, Acoustic Live, Keith Don't Go - the Tea wakes up this acoustic track like no other, very immersive. But of course, it is a well mastered album to begin with.

A user on another forum mentioned Aerosmith, Sweet Emotion and that the Tea presents this song ridiculously deep. Sure enough, he was right!

Just got my Mangird Tea (strange name) 2 days ago as well. Nice cable, don't really need to upgrade. A little hyped about these right now, but for good reason. My other iems are typical v-shape, they sound great... but these are definitely on another level, IMO.

The Spinfit CP-100 are also tight but they fit on the nozzle. They are kind of difficult to take out though.

I tried the CP-100 yesterday the whole day, and in the end, I decided to go back to the included KZ tips. The CP-100 gave me a nice balance between bass and detail, however, with them I feel that air suction due to the deep insertion needed with the Tea. Now I think I'll be experimenting a few more days to decide if I prefer the small-size KZ (which I can insert deeper and get more detail and wider soundstage) or the medium size (which I can't insert as deep as the small ones but give me a complete seal and make the Tea kind of L-shaped with about +4 db on bass). Maybe I'll end keeping both pairs of tips in the case and change them according to what I'm gonna listen to.

Good information, thanks for sharing.

I purchased the Mangird Tea iem from Taobao.com (Chinese local website) and i paid 1450 Yuan (220 USD) for without cable version. My Mangird Tea iem is MMCX connector version. It cost me about 240 USD, including the shipping and commissions. I can say the best quality iem I have, I am very pleased.

I am really confused between the mangird tea and the blessing 2 dusk...
Would really appreciate if someone can provide a comparison between the two!

Мangrid better than B2!!!!

I agree with you, Mangird is very good. I use my Mangird with the Earman Sparrow and the result at 2.5mm balanced output is fantastic.

Recently I've ordered a Mangrid tea but I've discovered it too much bright for me. And that I am VERY treble+upper mids sensitive.
I saw people have Mangrid and a copper cable does it makes it warm enough?
I used it with silver stock cable which might have done it brighter. Does the improvement on the copper cable is noticeable enough for me not to return the Tea?
I've ordered a copper cable with balanced 2.5mm jack to go with Qudelix 5k I own. This cable is recommended here in head-fi.

This cable will be good also for other Iem I have-Tripowin tc-01 that has also harsh trable+ upper mids but just slightly . (I was actually surprised it is much less than Mangrid.... Mangrid is just too harsh for me now).
What do you say? what cable do you use with Mangrid? Any of you use it with copper and notice big diffrence in upper mids and treble?

I would think any cable in good condition with low impedance would sound similar. You can get more change by tip rolling

Why no Tea reviews?

Where's the cult?
