Unmatched resolution, clarity, and an audio experience that will leave you speechless.
Supreme Performance with Four-Way Frequency Crossover
To optimize the potential of its eight drivers, AFUL has implemented a four-way frequency crossover in the Performer 8.

Just treat to your ears.Sound separation, vocals,treble sounds amazing. Not for basshead.
Aful performer 8 is a rare gem in a sea of harman sets. It has a relaxed pinna gain region, and comes out extremely smooth especially when listening to vocals and guitars. The vocals may sound like lacking energy at times but for me the sheer richness this type of tuning provides to vocals offsets that loss. It is also rather detailed, I have heard sets like quintet and blessings 3, and still p8 is, to me, slightly better in the details department, it always amazes me how effortless p8 sounds pushing out those details compared to other iems despite having such a relaxed signature. Even the shell is fairly small for the number of drivers Aful has crammed in there and as such the fit is going to be really good for most people. Overall P8 sounds like the holy grail of an IEM for anyone looking for a relaxed sounding set to listen to for hours on end.
Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the smooth and detailed sound of our AFUL Performer 8 IEM.
It is a real beast of an iem when connected with a good balanced cable /suitable ear tip/ to a good digital player I did burn in for 10 hrs changed to Shnix cable with 4.4 mm jack/moon drop spring eartips connected FiiOM11S high res audio player The music experience is awesome

It is compact and yet have a good punch to the output it gives, the packaging was very impressive for the price.

Twilight from Soft Ears seems to me like a benchmark for single DD IEMs. The solid metal craftsmanship is commendable and when it comes to the sound, tonality, song signature and quality is presently benchmark for Single DD IEMs, may be rivalled by the Elder turii ti, which cost 3x of this.

I would really recommend these. I previously used KZ Castor, but these IEMs are a major upgrade. The sound division is really good. The only issues are low bass and high treble. If you want a more balanced or v shape, it is better to use an equaliser. I am using these with Fiio K1 and Audiocular X Tiandirenhe CS-PRO DACs. Both give a nice output.
I don't know if this is specific to Apple Music or IE 200, but when I push the music through an equaliser, I hear a crackling sound (only on hi-res, 24-bit/192 kHz). I will maybe test more on this and will update the review.
Finally, I would recommend it. These IEMs are worth the buck.

One of the best dac amp in budget category, it gives balance output that going well with my performer 8.

It's an interesting product. I like all the tip options in this pack. It's a good beginner pack to know how each tip material can affect the sound quality. All the tip material & quality are good. The silicone tips & foam tips in the pack are good, like those stock tips we get with IEM. But the surprising tips are the latex tip & the hybrid foam tip. Although the latex tip feels a little rubbery in feel & is a dust magnet, but it's very comfortable, provides a good seal and does enhance bass & treble response slightly. And for the hybrid tip, it's like best of both worlds. It gives the comfort of a silicone tip as well as provides the seal of a foam tip. I'm not a big fan of foam tip in general because of how they feel in ear & it's very difficult to put them in the ear, but these hybrid tips removed all those problems for me.

This is one of the best modular cables I have ever seen in this price range. Microphonic is there as the nylon type of material is used for wrapping the cable. But microphonic is very minimal compared to other similar cable I have used. But, once the music starts playing, the microphonic would be gone. connector quality is very premium, on both the 3.5 / 4.4 termination as well as at 2-pin connector end. I love how easy is to replace the 3.5 & 4.4 end. It's highly recommended if you are looking for any premium modular cable on budget. It's one of my favorite modular cables along with the Moondrop aria 2's stock modular cable.

Sounds exactly like the Salnotes Zero with a bit more bass. Has that same Harman curve with upper midrange bump and reduced lower mids making male vocals sound thin. Good resolution/detail and treble is perfectly done. Fit is good and I like that these are very light.

I have own onix aplha as a dac and this is definitely a upgrade in that regards

From Blon bl2 to BGVP DN2
The jump on dunu was really worth it
Almost every genre songs this IEM drive at another level of dept n separation
Only flaw i could pin point some jpop heavy electric or high pinch voice of singers was little intolerable but other than it skillet and every other genre it nail it..
Accesories are another level really feel like worth the price and best customer care...
Tried every format from flac mqa to dsd . movies or series or anime . this earphone r all in one.
Bass timing silent timing Treble timing is all so perfectly tune (tried on LGV50)

If you are looking for a pair of headphones that would be your end game on a budget, then look no further, Edition XS is the way to go.
I have been using these for about 2 years and finally I can say, these cans a robust, dynamic and neutral to slightly bright.
But it also packs a punchy bass and has a good soundstage.
All you need is a pair of Edition XS and further you can keep leveling up the sound quality by upgrading cables to balanced ones, getting good DAC/AMPS and also modding the cans with new filters and grill.

Pros:
1. Sound is excellent for the price. I would say moondrop chu level sound quality. It follows the harman target with a little but turned down treble. Many people find the harman target a bit harsh at the top end. But this solves the issue.
2. I never had connectivity issues. Pairing was easy. As soon as I bring out the earbuds from the case, the buds automatically connects to my android phone.
Cons
1. App could be better. Obviously the app and other functionality won't be at the level of other mainstream tws like bose, samsung etc.
2. The fit. As someone who mostly uses wired iems. The tws does not feel as comfortable as the iems. For my ears, it's only comfortable for an hour or so. After that, it gets really uncomfortable.

I have been through some online videos/reviews before this purchase. My shortlist were, Moondrop Chu II, KZ Castor Pro, Wan'er SG. Audio Store was kind enough to provide demo of these to compare. Also Mr. Pritam shared valuable inputs on differences between my selected comparisons.
Very happy with the Tangzu Wan'er SG's output, everytime I listen to some of my old fav bolly songs it generates smile. Guess using it day by day increasing some sort of details or maybe I am getting use to. Best for listening for longer duration without fatigue. Bassheads may find it irrelevant to their taste. Over-all best Balanced tune IEM I must say which has some spark and doesn't feel boaring.
