Youtube Video Summary
The Xenns Tea Pro impresses most with its exceptional build quality and aesthetics. The metallic shell feels substantial and premium in the ear, featuring a comfortable wing design and a nice metal nozzle. While slightly larger than its predecessors like the Tea and Tea2, the Pro's shell represents an upgrade in feel and technology, boasting a prettier faceplate. The included cable is thick, braided, and features a swappable termination (4.4mm or 3.5mm), contributing to an overall solid package that feels like a significant step up from previous models.
Sonically, the Tea Pro offers a bassy but clean signature with strong, impactful low end. However, it presents some key drawbacks: the bass can feel slightly boomy or distorted rather than pristine, and the overall presentation leans dark and rich. This comes at the expense of upper treble sparkle, air, and micro-details, resulting in a narrow soundstage and less impressive instrument separation than expected at its price point. While extremely pleasant and engaging for music listening, it feels slightly muffled and lacks the clarity and detail retrieval of many competitors.
When stacked against rivals like the Dunu Da Vinci, Kiwi Ears Quintet, EM10, DUNU DaVinci, Hype 4, or CCA CA4, the Tea Pro often falls short sonically. Competitors generally offer better air, treble extension, cleaner bass, or superior detail. Its own predecessor, the Tea2, is considered more neutral and relaxed. Consequently, while the Tea Pro is a contender with its fantastic build and fun tuning, it might be skippable for those prioritizing pure sound quality. It earns a recommendation for newcomers or those valuing premium construction, but audiophiles seeking the best sound may find better options elsewhere.
