Main summary

Key takeaways

Product Review

Product Reviewed

  • Tanchjim Bunny (includes cable) compared directly to the Tanchjim Origin (previously reviewed).
  • Additional comparisons mentioned: Hexa, Pure, Chu/“choo”, and cable/tip changes using Final Audio E tips.
  • The video frames the main question as whether a ~$20 model can get “as close as” the (higher-priced) Origin.

Key Features / What’s Tested

  • Stock cable quality

    • Praised as “pretty good” for $20, though not as nice as Origin’s cable.
  • Sound tuning evaluation

    • Female vocals
      • Example: XG “New Dance” section where a girl starts singing.
    • Male vocals
      • Example: Justin Bieber track used to assess male voice + orchestral/background detail.
    • Drums
      • Assesses harshness/scratchiness at a specific drum moment.
    • Bass
      • Evaluated before and after swapping tips.
  • Tip rolling / fit testing

    • Switching to Final Audio E tips changes bass/fullness.
    • Correct tip size matters; a wrong size was tried first.
    • Final Audio E tips are hard to take off.

Pros (Unique Positive Points Mentioned)

  • Good vocals immediately

    • Female vocals “sound right right off the bat.”
  • Better than “Chu/choo” (in perceived harshness/brightness)

    • Bunny is said to sound a little better, while Chu can have harsh brightness at times.
  • Bass improves with the right Final Audio E tip size

    • With correct fit/seal, bass and voice fullness return noticeably.
  • Male vocals pass as accurate

    • Justin Bieber doesn’t sound thin on Bunny; the voice seems “correct.”
  • Overall signature: “neutral bright”

    • Suggested as workable for monitoring.
  • Tonally similar to Origin

    • Bunny is repeatedly described as close in tonal response, even if not identical in texture/detail.

Cons (Unique Negative Points Mentioned)

  • Less “fullness” and “detail” than Origin (and others)

    • Bunny is described as thinner with less fullness.
    • Female vocals: “lacks fullness and detail.”
  • Harsh/scratchy drum moment

    • Appears on Bunny, while the Origin sounds duller/smoother.
  • Bass is initially light

    • Needs proper tip selection to bring it up.
  • Final Audio E tip drawbacks

    • The tips used were difficult to remove.
  • Not fully matching Origin’s performance

    • Even when EQ seems similar, Bunny “can’t capture all the other things,” implying remaining practical differences.
  • Siblance / slightly off staging or separation

    • The “Mariah Carey siblings test” indicates both can detect it, but Origin is “so much better.”
  • Accuracy caveat

    • “Accurate? Yes, sort of,” but the reviewer notes you’re missing a lot of detail.

Comparisons Made

Tanchjim Bunny vs Tanchjim Origin

  • Origin is smoother where Bunny can sound a bit harsh (especially drum textures).
  • Origin has more warmth/low end and greater fullness/detail.
  • Bunny and Origin are described as tonally very similar, but not sonically identical.

Bunny vs “Hexa / Pure”

  • Bunny is said to have less fullness than Hexa/Pure.

Bunny vs “Chu/choo”

  • Bunny sounds better because Chu can have harsh brightness.

Bunny vs Final Audio E Tips (mod comparison)

  • With correct tip size: more bass and better seal/fullness.
  • With wrong size: bass doesn’t improve as much.

Other mic/monitor checks

  • Reviewer compares their own mic voice on Bunny: it sounds correct and not compressed.
  • Compared to JBL 305s: 305s sound more full, though Bunny is “pretty similar.”

User Experience Notes

  • Ease of tuning depends on fit
    • Bass/fullness changes significantly with tip size and seal.
  • Listening impressions rely on quick A/B swaps
    • Bunny ↔ Origin tested on specific tracks.
  • Tip swapping can be annoying
    • Final Audio E tips are hard to remove.

Verdict / Overall Recommendation (Concise)

  • The Tanchjim Bunny is praised as a strong ~$20 option with a tonally similar tuning to the Tanchjim Origin, especially for vocals and monitoring-oriented “neutral bright” use.
  • However, it’s repeatedly described as “nerfed” versus Origin:
    • Less warmth and fullness
    • Missing more detail
    • More vulnerable to harsh drum texture

Recommendation:

  • If you want Origin-like tonal balance on a budget, Bunny is a good buy.
  • If you want the most complete, smoother, more detailed sound, Origin is the clear upgrade.

Speaker / Roles

  • Single reviewer voice drives all impressions and comparisons (no separate speakers with distinct views in the provided subtitles).
