Tanchjim NEW HANA

inToit Reviews praised the broad, well-dispersed bass response, soft but effective rumble, organic decay, and tactile drum impact. Giz Audio also hears satisfying Harman-style thump, but finds the bass less textured than the KXXS and notes a small amount of bleed into the mids.

Both reviews are highly positive about the midrange. inToit Reviews describes it as clear, full, and mildly forward without aggression, while Giz Audio calls male and female vocals natural, rich, warm, and especially impressive.

The treble is extended enough to provide useful detail and a little extra lift for female vocals, without sharpness or fatigue. Both reviewers also identify a rolled-off quality higher up, limiting air, shimmer, and the crispness of cymbal and percussion hits.

inToit Reviews finds separation and layering good, with more space emerging from stronger amplification, but not as intricate as the Oxygen. Giz Audio similarly says resolution is not among the strongest in its Harman-tuned peer set, and the slight bass bleed keeps separation closer to average in busy music.

Imaging is consistently seen as a strength: instruments track clearly, occupy believable positions, and show useful depth. Stage-width impressions differ, with inToit Reviews hearing an unusually broad presentation while Giz Audio considers it only moderately wide but still outside the head.

The HANA is described as more dynamic than the FiiO FH3, and its drum impact is said to be both audible and tactile without becoming fatiguing. Its tonal balance and natural overall presentation support an easy, coherent listen, although the softer bass definition slightly tempers its precision.

Neither reviewer reports how easily the HANA obtains or retains a seal during normal movement. They also do not describe fit-related bass loss or tonal shifts.

The reviews provide no direct comments on shell pressure, nozzle comfort, insertion depth, or extended-wear fatigue. Comfort will depend on the listener's ear shape and tip choice.

Passive isolation is not addressed in the supplied reviews. There is no reviewer evidence here to indicate either unusually strong isolation or a meaningful limitation.

Giz Audio considers the earpieces notably attractive and an improvement in appearance over the original HANA. The cable looks well matched and is described as high quality for the price by one comment, though Giz Audio also says it is not among the highest-quality cables; the reviews say little about durability, tips, case, or connector execution.

At about $179, Giz Audio calls the HANA a "no-brainer," saying it delivers roughly 95% of the more expensive Tanchjim Oxygen's sound for around $100 less. The reviewer also calls it phenomenal and one of the year's best releases, making its price-to-performance appeal a major part of the recommendation.
