TANCHJIM OLA II Hybrid Driver IEM Experience – TDS REVIEW
The OLA lineup had long been TANCHJIM’s mainstay model in the budget segment, until the arrival of the Bunny and Zero Ultima seemed to somewhat overshadow the OLA with the sense of “the student surpassing the master.” We also covered the OLA Bass minor revision, but from today’s perspective, the Bunny—with its similar over-ear fit and DSP support—would be a…
