TANCHJIM One IEM Review

[krabapple]

Possibly a really stupid set of questions but:

the Tanchjim One DSP app for EQ can be found/downloaded where, exactly?
I found this which has q-codes for iOS and Android downloads. Is this it? And how exactly does it work? (btw my Android phone is warning me not to install software from this source)

Is there a version for Windows PCs anywhere? (It seems not from a post of Jan 24, but it's a year later now)

The iOS version is available in the App store: https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/tanchjim/id6446278638

The Android version is available as APK from their website which you linked.

(btw my Android phone is warning me not to install software from this source)

It's warning you not to install software from any source that isn't the Play Store, not specifically related to the Tanchjim App.

Sideloading any APK bears risk as Google cannot guarantee that the App is benign.

If you suspect that Tanchjim has embedded malicious content inside their App, then I'd suggest you do not install their APK (same is true of any other APK).

Fwiw, I see no reason to suspect this.

Is there a version for Windows PCs anywhere?

There is not.

(btw my Android phone…

If you are on Android, you probably don’t care, but the iOS app does not work with these types of USB devices (Tanchjim or other) due to Apple OS restrictions.

I really enjoy this IEM. Using with DSP cable. The bullet form is very comfortable and easy to get seal.

guys, what can i say. i own quite some iems, like most of us the classics, andromeda, 64audio u8, t8ie mk2, Oriolus mk2, LCD-i3 and what not. i stumbled across this review couple of days ago and ordered it for the price of a meal at amazon. got it today and man how far did audio quality come? amir you crazy. what is that? besides slight edginess in the uppermids on my samsung phone, this one is phenomal, even if it would cost 200eur. cant wait to connect a 4.4 cable to my usual setup

I prefer using them over my Dunu EST 112, partly because I think that the single driver design means phase alignment across the full spectrum is better, as these and the Crinacle reds are great in that respect. I'm just guessing here though, as no data to support this.

As far as I know, for the Tanchjim One, the connector polarity is a bit counterintuitive: to stay in phase, the polarity dot (generally red and blue or raised dot marker) need to face each other or both face outward, which is the opposite of what some users might assume.
If the dots end up mismatched (one inward, one outward), the IEMs will play out of phase, causing weak bass and odd imaging.

In practical terms, when you look at the left and right earpieces side by side, the connector orientation should appear as (L+-/-+R) or (L-+/+-R), but not as (L+-/+-R) or (L-+/-+R), otherwise, the channels will be out of phase.

I apologize in advance if my explanation comes across as a bit long-winded, disjointed, or unclear.

I don’t think that earphones have bass cancellation like speakers do if left and right are not in phase. With speakers the sound sums acoustically, it doesn’t with headphones.

I want some ‘bullet’ style IEMs (not behind-the-ear cord), are there any competitors to look for? Maybe some that have more sub-bass (without equalization)?
Anyone know anything about the Tanchjim Zero Ultima?

Never heard it but I read that it's good for a bullet style.

KZ Linglong, the frequency response is bassy but otherwise doesn't look bad and is cheap $10-15 it might worth a try.

Why not Tanchjim One (this thread…): it can be used either way.
