very budget friendly. good sound, but sadly it lacks bass! the mic is also surprisingly good.

I purchased the Tangzu Wan’er SG2 Red Lion Edition directly from the official website because I already own and enjoy the original Wan’er SG. I specifically chose the Red Lion Edition expecting a more bass-focused, punchier sound, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations.
The tuning feels much more neutral with only a slight warmth rather than a noticeably V-shaped or bass-emphasized signature. As someone who creates music for local independent films and cinematography projects, I also noticed that the stereo image doesn’t feel perfectly centered. Sounds that should be in the center appear slightly shifted toward the right, and the right earpiece seems to output a little more volume than the left.
I also had some quality concerns. One of the 2-pin cable connectors arrived with a slight bend (although it still fit without force), and the 3.5 mm jack feels a bit loose compared to other cables I own. Additionally, I occasionally hear a buzzing or popping sound when inserting or removing the jack while using it with my MacBook—something I don’t experience with my original Wan’er SG or other earphones.
On the positive side, the build, accessories, and packaging were good, and everything arrived complete and undamaged. I still think the original Tangzu Wan’er SG is an excellent IEM, but the Red Lion Edition didn’t deliver the sound signature or overall experience I was hoping for.
Huge upgrade over stock tips! Grippier, put less pressure on my ears, and balance out the already-good sound on my IEMs. Great price and fast shipping are a huge plus.
