The Aesthetics of Wu HeyDay IEM

As a brand deeply influenced by Chinese history, TANGZU’s newly launched earphone Wu HeyDay still pays homage to the one and only Chinese female emperor. It is precision crafted with meticulous attention to every detail. To present the greatness of the dynasty, the new earphone adopts metal gray as the main colorway to represent the noble origins.

The 14.5mm planar driver with optimized bass and high frequency, this new earphone is a new attempt of the brand to pursuing an overall musical but more neutral and balanced sound with more thick and spacious signature. Theoretically, this set of planar driver IEM has improved in many technicalities and resolution

5-Axis CNC Aluminum Case

One of the biggest improvement of the new model is the full Aluminum case, processed with 5-axis high precision CNC machine. Each material used for making this earphone is carefully selected and undergoes a rigorous testing process in order to ensure that the quality meets our expectations. The smooth shells easily fit into most average-sized ears and sit securely and tightly. As a result, it still remain comfortable over long listening sessions.

Despite other improvements, the bundled accessories has been fully elevated to provide HiFi-level performance. A 3-in-1 detachable silver-plated cable is included to accommodate wide range of devices while also ensure balanced sound performance.

It’s build based on large data of human ears via a precise calculation on the shell measurement to ensure to meet the sweet spot of fitting for the majorities. We believe the unique design will satisfy different tastes and preferences.

WHY IT HAS TO BE TANGZU’ Wu HeyDay?

TANGZU, a brand inspired by the most prosperous traditional Chinese dynasty-Tang Dynasty, a golden age of Chinese arts and culture, has been keeping its roots by releasing three iconic models successively: Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Wu Zetian and the brand-new Wu HeyDay. TANGZU is a brand of broad vision and exquisite craft.

Empress Wu Zetian was the only female emperor of Imperial China. She reigned during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) and was one of the most effective and controversial monarchs in China's history. By naming the new earphone this way, TANGZU intentionally brings unprecedented sound performance to the community with the 14.5mm planar driver and finely tuned three frequencies. We believe that Wu Zetian will surprisingly outperform its competitors.
