Great great DAC for majority of the audience. Does a great job in audio quality plus if you use a dedicated app that directly interacts with DAC that is just incredible!!
I picked up the DSP Type-C version of the Tanchjim Bunny, and out of the box, it is an absolute steal for the price. The stock tuning is incredibly balanced, crisp, and clean. However, the real magic happened when I swapped out the stock cable for a separate 8-core IEM cable with a 3.5mm jack. Switching to the 3.5mm analog connection completely shifted the sound signature in the best way possible.With the 8-core cable, the overall sound becomes noticeably warmer and more organic. The lower-mids fill out beautifully, giving the music a richer, more musical low-end response. More importantly, the vocals become much more forward and intimate. It brings singers right to the front of the stage, making acoustic tracks and vocal-heavy genres sound incredibly lush and engaging.
It is an amazing budget IEM that scales beautifully with upgraded gear. Highly recommended!
I recently purchased the CCA Phoenix 3.5mm Black IEM along with the Audiocular Spark Black DAC from Audio Store, and my experience has been excellent.
The CCA Phoenix offers a detailed and energetic sound signature with clear vocals, crisp treble, and impactful bass. It brings out fine details in music while keeping the listening experience enjoyable. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the design looks stylish and comfortable for long listening sessions.
Paired with the Audiocular Spark Black DAC, the sound becomes even cleaner and more powerful. The DAC improves clarity, separation, and overall audio quality, making the listening experience more immersive.
I would also like to appreciate the Audio Store team for their friendly service and product guidance. The physical store has a welcoming, and professional environment where customers can comfortably explore and audition audio gear before purchasing.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the CCA Phoenix, Audiocular Spark DAC, and the excellent service provided by Audio Store.
Good for:
>Vocal dominated tracks (general bollywood songs)
>Indian classical in vocal. string and wind instruments, acoustic guitars.
> Western classical focused on Piano, violin and cellos (e.g. Ludovico Einaudi, Lang Lang)
Need a little twigs in eq:
> Female vocal may need 2-3 db boost in at around 2k region.
> Old tracks designed for tapes and cassettes generally has treble boosted in default. Hence a 1-2 db pull down in 8k &16k band makes it more enjoyable (e.g track - Nahi samne from movie Taal)
Not good for:
> Heavy rock and metals that demands more throbbing base.
> Heavy electric guitars mainly power chords & overdrive base guitars sounds muddy.
> Lacks wide sound stage required for large and dynamic orchestral pieces. Like cornfield chase by Hans zimmer, Nostalgia by Yanni
> Hip-hop and Electronic tracks lacks the attacks and punchiness
VERDICT:
> Deep and tight base, buttery soft mids and well defined and perfectly rolled out treble that doesn't heart your ears after a while.
>Go for it if you are a bollywood song lover. You can't get anything better, at least at this price brakets.
> Shines well with Sigma-delta dacs but feels bit too warm for r2r Dacs. Although some people can prefer that. But do not use it with a very powerful amp. Personally I felt opamp like MAX97220 is more than enough.
> Base is deep and tight. So do not buy this if you want thumpy base.
> Not a flat responding iem. So do not consider it if you want an analytical piece. > Choose it if you are looking for long listening sessions with deep imotional attachment rather than analytical detailing.
This pair is one of the most musical and cohesive IEMs I’ve heard in its price range. Its warm-neutral tuning delivers rich note weight, natural timbre, and excellent tonal balance without sacrificing detail. The bass is textured and controlled, the mids are lush and engaging, and the treble is smooth yet sufficiently extended to convey air and ambience.
Its tuning sits somewhere between a U-shaped and V-shaped signature, making it a rather safe choice overall, in my opinion.
Male vocals - 8.5/10
Female vocals - 9.5/10 (buttery smooth)
What stands out most is its ability to present orchestral music with realism and emotional impact rather than analytical dissection. Strings sound organic, brass carries authority, and large symphonic works feel immersive and grand.
Technical performance is strong, though the focus remains on musicality and coherence rather than sheer resolution.
Paired with the Mojo 2, the synergy is exceptional. If your priority is experiencing the music rather than analysing it, the Tea Pro SE is a standout performer.
If you also own a Moondrop Variations like I do, you’ll immediately notice that the Tea Pro SE offers a fuller, more natural presentation, with richer timbre, greater note weight, and a deeper, more holographic soundstage that makes the music feel remarkably immersive.
It also sounds better than XENNS Mangird Top Pro, yes!
Comfort - Hours can pass without the urge to take a break, without any fatigue.
I've been using this IEM for a couple of days now, and compared to the Moondrop CHU II, the treble feels noticeably improved.
Majestic sounding IEMs worth every penny
Good
best dac ever used the sound is incredibly good amazing the black colour is currently on top
Love it! My swimming sessions have become much more enjoyable and consistent. I also love listening to audiobooks and retro songs on these when not in water! Good product for a healthy lifestyle
KZ Duonic ka sound sach me bhut acha hai aur iski overall quality kamal ki hai. planar driver hone ki wajah se clarity next level milti hai. Bass tight hai aur instrument separation bhi bohot clear hai. Isme music suno bohot acha experience hota hai . Highly recommended if you love high-resolution audio!
It just works amazing with all of my audio products
These my first iems using it from last 2 months very nice very balanced sound
A beautiful pair of iems at this price range. Balanced sound, but engaging listening. Also good for monitoring.
Really good DAC and perfect for apple devices as it does not reduce the volume like few other DACs..and very good delivery experience from TAS..👍🏻
