The Mangird Top has excellent technical performance. It has excellent detail retrieval, imaging, and soundstage. The IEM is also very well-tuned, with no noticeable peaks or dips in the frequency response.

I would even suggest if you don't have enough money Buy JBL C100Si it's 599 rupees and sounds good for the money Timbre is better on the BL-03. Indeed, the BL-03 are well-known for their timbral accuracy, with only a few budget contenders besting them in this area. The CHU have less bass, though like the Salnotes Zero, they have superior bass speed and texturing than the Wan’er. The CHU, however, have a more boosted upper midrange and lower treble, leading to more fatigue and acerbity.The upper mids are well-dosed. It is at the edge of getting vocals forwards without veering too much to shoutiness. However, this region can be fatiguing at louder volumes ( Fletcher Munson curve), so the Wan’er are probably best used at low to moderate volumes. Treble

The treble is fatigue-free and smooth, with minimal sibilance, though resolution and micro-details might be dampened due to this tuning choice. Comparisons Better sub-bass extension. In 'Smooth Criminal' you can clearly 'feel' the heartbeats on the Zero, whereas with the E3000 you can 'only hear' them, faintly. This is a Big difference. No case. This drops it out of the least expensive good "complete kit" challenge (currently held by the Truthears+Crinacle Zero).Timbre is slightly less natural on the Zero, and the Zero may be more uncomfortable due to perpendicular edges in the shells. Vs. Moondrop CHU I have been in the hobby for over 9 years now. Have owned or briefly auditioned (and given away to family/friends) a bunch of IEMs; E10c, Re-400a, Dunu Titan 1 (aka Fiio EX1), Beyerdynamic Byron, Audio Technica IM-70, Blon BL-03 and the Final E3000. The mid-bass hits with quite a good punch, though in terms of quality, it is on the slower side; there’s smearing noted in complex bass movements. Texturing is below average; unfortunately, there is mid-bass bleed, with an undefined bass heard. Midrange

Much much wider soundstage on the E3000! Better depth too. Generally more holographic. This is a night and day difference compared to the Zeros which are fairly intimate and 2d sounding. The Wan’er boast charming aesthetics, comfortable fit, generous accessories, and an agreeable tonality coupled with natural timbre. Some of the competitors in this price range include the KZ ZST X, the CCA Lyra, and the BLON BL03. While these earphones are also popular in their respective price ranges, the Salnotes Zero is definitely a step above in terms of sound quality and overall value. Pros and Cons: The Salnotes Zero has a simple and cool-looking design that is made from high-quality materials. The earphones fit nicely in all sizes of ears and provide excellent comfort for long listening sessions. Better Instrument separation. The Zero's thin instruments, more artifacts can make things sound mashed together at times. This may come as a surprise to some. We assume a more transparent (colder) IEM will have better separation.

balanced tuning. Couldn't find a single genre which does not sound good with this IEM. It reminds me of the TinnHIFI P1 Max Panda (Planar), very similar tuning.

Being an inexpensive set, the Wan’er are aptly named after their historical namesake, in tying in with her very modest upbringing as a retainer who got promoted all the way to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The Zero is a fantastic product "for the price". The linearity, presentation, detail and extension on both ends are commendable. When pitched against a higher tier it WILL begin to show flaws. The soundstage is confined/intimate/narrow, instrument separation is mediocre, layering is poor, metallic/artificial timbre on instruments, generally less refined sounding (artifacts can be noticed when you compare against a higher tier like say, the E3000). I know that's an unfair comparison but just goes to show these are NOT giant-killers by any stretch of imagination! The soundstage on the Mangird Top is wider than all budget iems that have own and have used before, and the imaging is very precise. This makes the IEM great for listening to music with complex soundscapes and excellent for FPS gaming. I can easily place each instrument in the soundstage or footsteps in gaming.

The Tangzu x HBB Wu Heyday Edition IEMs – a collaboration with prominent reviewer Hawaii Bad Boy– followed after the resounding success of the original Zetian Wu IEMs. The shells are light and ergonomic, and I experienced no discomfort with long listening sessions. Tangzu says the Wan’er housing was designed based on accumulated data from many ears, and perhaps this is no hyperbole. There’s a concha protrusion to add additional grip during usage. CX180 got much better sub bass it's clean and hits hard and CX180 mids are much better they sound natural Coming to treble yes it has one of the best treble Perfomante under 2k there are no sharp peeks or anything like that
