Introduction​

Another sub $20 iem. ** checkouts instantly **

Sound​

I would describe the Shanghua as Neutral but with SLIGHT HINT OF BRIGHTNESS WITH MANY EXLAIMATION MARKS!!! I will be comparing it to the Tanchjim Zero as they are quite similar to each other.

Technicalities​

They are alright. Separation is decent. Sound stage is average but with decent height. Zero easily wins here.

Bass​

Pretty flat but I'm surprised by the sub-bass rumble and texture. Mid-bass has good punch. Overall bass performance is better than the Zero.

Mids​

Lower mids are pretty thicc. Vocals don't sound distant. It is certainly better than the Zero in this regard, though I don't have anything to say for the upper mids because of how bright it sounds LUL.

Treble​

They sound pretty dry to me. To my ears there is a huge elevation in the 6k to 8k region, but nothing much after that? I had to swap the tips as I find the BB tips to accentuate the upper mids and highs even more.

Conclusion​

Very bright IEM. Want very bright? Get very bright. Don't like very bright? Get very bright anyway because very bright. You can find more products from Zhulinniao on Taobao
