Наушники — Tangzu WANER SG 2 Red Lion Edition

TANGZU, a Chinese maker of earphones, offers the WANER SG 2 Red Lion Edition as a wired IEM and a limited colour and tuning variant of the WANER SG 2. It uses a single dynamic driver in a translucent ruby-red shell and sells for USD 23. Sibling versions of the SG 2 include the Jade Dragon and Purple Dragon editions, and the wider catalogue also includes the Xuan Nv and Nezha.

Key specs that matter

One 10 mm dynamic driver with an upgraded PET diaphragm sits in every shell. Published figures give an impedance of 20 ohm, a sensitivity of 113.5 dB and a frequency response from 20 Hz to 40 kHz. The cable is detachable and connects through 0.78 mm 2-pin sockets. Buyers can pick from three terminations, a 3.5 mm plug with or without an inline microphone, or a USB Type-C plug with a microphone.

Engineering and use context

Against the regular WANER SG 2, the Red Lion version receives upgraded internal wiring and a retuned driver. TANGZU aims this revision at deeper bass extension while keeping the balance of the original model. The shell is moulded from medical-grade PET, which the maker describes as skin-safe and durable, with red-themed faceplates marking the edition, and the ergonomic earpiece shape uses hypoallergenic, non-toxic materials intended for long sessions. The supplied cable is about 1.2 m long and uses two cores of 25D oxygen-free copper with silver plating under a maroon sleeve, and TANGZU calls it a Sancai wide bore design. The box includes three pairs of TANGZU Tang Sancai ear tips and three pairs of HE Sonic tips, a silicone storage case, a cleaning cloth and, for this limited run, an exclusive cable strap. As a passive in-ear design with a sealed fit, it relies on the tips for isolation from outside noise rather than on any electronics.

Pairing

TANGZU optimises the low impedance for portable sources, so a phone headphone output or a small USB dongle DAC is enough to drive it. The Type-C version with microphone plugs straight into phones and laptops that lack a 3.5 mm socket, and the analogue plug variants suit portable players and desktop amplifiers. The versions with a microphone put call handling on the cable itself, while the plain version omits it. The 2-pin connection is a common standard, so aftermarket cables fit.

Alternatives

The TANGZU Shangguan Wan'er is another model of the Wan'er family built around one dynamic driver per side.
