Introduction

There are always a few companies that come to mind when you think “Harman-tuned”. Maybe it’s AKG, perhaps even Samsung. Though it’s more than likely that you’d think of the one company that has the “Harman DD IEM” market cornered: Moondrop.

Tanchjim is not a brand that got the traction Moondrop had, often only coming up in conversations as an alternative rather than its own solid recommendation. And it’s pretty easy to see why; where the Kanas Pro came in at a retail price of $180 and the subsequent KXXS at $190, Tanchjim’s direct answer to the two was was… basically in a separate price bracket.

Does Tanchjim truly deserve to be forever under Moondrop’s shadow? Can the Oxygen meet expectations and beat its cheaper, more popular counterparts?
