Disclaimer: Please note that I am not an audiophile, and this review does not delve into the technical aspects of the IEMs. My impressions are based on my personal preferences, and others may have different experiences with this product. I also have a very limited experience with audio products so please take this review with a grain of salt.
The Tanchjim Bunny was sent to me to review by Mic Audio Store over on TikTok.
Pros
- Excellent and comfortable fit. Perfect for smaller ears
- Balanced and inoffensive tuning with a slight emphasis on clear vocals
- Great value for what’s included in the package
Cons
- Might be bright-sounding for treble-sensitive ears
General Product Details
Package Inclusions
- IEM shells & cable
- Carry pouch
- 6 pairs of eartips (3 pairs wide-bore tips, 3 pairs standard tips)
- A waifu postcard may or may not be included
The IEM Shells
- The shells are made of a completely transparent resin, showcasing the internal components and drivers.
- The metallic faceplates have “Tanchjim” and “Bunny” have printed on each iem in white ink.
- These are very light, weighing 3.2g only.
- The form factor seems to be similar to the Tanchjim 4U
The Cable
- There are two choices when you order the Bunny, a 3.5mm version and a Type-C DSP version. I have the former.
- These are non-braided, but rather are like 2 strands stuck together and wrapped with a flexible plastic material. I don’t mind these, they are easy to wind and unwind but I think they will develop “memory” over time so mind how you wind them.
The Carrying Pouch
- The pouch is a small drawstring bag made of a gray suede fabric. It has the Tanchjim logo debossed in the center of one face of the pouch.
Subjective Review
General Usage Impressions
- The eartips have a certain smell to them out of the packaging. Letting them air out helped reduce the smell
- I did not recieve the waifu postcard with my review unit, but it should be included for those who buy this pair.
- The fit of the earpieces are comfortable and the included eartips also give a good seal.
Sound Impressions
- There’s an acceptable amount of bass power and bass rumble, which can be felt listening to Otonoke by Creepy Nuts.
- In Falling by Jin and Taka the vocals are a little thin, feels like there’s not much power in them. This is the same for Moongazing by Kenshi Yonezu as well as the intro of Answers by Masayoshi Soken.
- Female vocals however ring clear and vibrant. In ebb and flow by Ray and Hero too by Kyoka Jiro and Chrissy Costanza, their voices are crisp, well-defined, and carry an engaging energy that sits forward in the mix.
- Musical instruments on the treble also ring clear. Piano and violin instrumentals are a treat to listen to
- Soundstage is narrow to average at best. Resolution is acceptable.
- The impression I have of this set points to mean that this set, while it can be considered a generalist IEM, excels best when listening to KPOP and JPOP music
- For gaming it does its job fine. I put the Bunny through a few games of Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals and the directional audio as well as imaging are accurate enough.
Final Thoughts
The Tanchjim Bunny is a great budget earphone. It’s perfect for
people who like music with clear and strong female vocals, like
K-pop and J-pop.
It doesn’t have the deepest bass or the widest sound, but it’s
well-balanced and clear. It’s comfortable to wear for a long time
and looks really nice.
If you want a good-sounding, stylish earphone that’s easy on your
wallet, the Tanchjim Bunny is a great choice.
