The Best, but Better
The original Mangird Tea took off with instant success across the world, with fans praising its natural tuning. The Tea was among the first few IEM’s to utilize a studio-neutral tuning that focused on flat mids, precision-tuned sub-bass impact, and a natural treble. Earphone drivers are typically not designed to simply give these styles of neutral reference tuning due to their acoustic characteristics, but Mangird’s engineering proved itself to be more than capable to manipulate the natural tonal characters of earphone drivers to achieve a studio-monitor sound in an IEM. Keeping this same strategy, the Mangird team has worked to create the successor to the original Tea, focusing on improving technical performance, an even more balanced tuning, and elevating the bass impact.
The Xenns Mangird Tea2 features the original Tea’s flat midrange, with a precision-tuned sub-bass impact that is 40% stronger, yet just as clean, to maintain an uncolored sound. This was achieved by using the next generation of European dynamic driver that substantially increases the membrane tension to allow greater resolution in the bass. The composition of the balanced armature drivers have also been updated, now using two Sonion 2600 series low-end drivers to achieve synergy between the BA and DD drivers and help boost the texture of the bass. The flat midrange was achieved by introducing two new Sonion 2300 series drivers that focus on neutral fundamental frequencies. A comprehensive passive crossover network incorporates the core ranges of each driver type to produce the perfect balance between tuning and low total-harmonic distortion levels. Finally, Mangird has listened to the audiophile community, which often pointed towards the original Tea’s lack of treble detail. To resolve this issue, two Knowles 33518 super tweeters were used, with their voltages boosted to match the rest of the drivers, and extend the treble extension. If the original Tea’s treble was described to be smooth, the Tea MKII significantly improves the treble output and definition, enhancing the detail retrieval and providing an excellent airy atmosphere - all while maintaining a natural tonal balance.
