TANCHJIM OLA II Hybrid IEMs Review

Tanchjim's OLA II is the successor to the OLA, and the page lists it from $75.20 as a hybrid: a 10mm DMT5 dual-magnetic, dual-cavity dynamic driver paired with a Pure Hi balanced armature in a coaxial arrangement. The cable is detachable on 0.78mm 2-pin connectors and comes with a 3.5mm, 4.4mm or Type-C termination. The page text carries no impedance, sensitivity or frequency figures.

Specifications

Options and pricing

Three terminations are listed, all orderable when the page was read: OLA 2 3.5mm at $75.20, OLA 2 4.4mm at $76.50 and OLA 2 Type C at $79.20. The option field is labelled Color, but the names differ by termination. Per the page, the Type-C version adds DSP functions with an 8-band PEQ and 32Bit/384kHz processing through the Tanchjim app on Android, and the 3.5mm and Type-C versions carry a MEMS in-line microphone; the page text names no microphone for the 4.4mm version.

How it compares

Among the siblings, the TWISTURA Sigma 1DD+1BA Hybrid Driver In-Ear Earphone is another hybrid, from $65.90, and the Pula Audio Unicrom 10mm Single Dynamic Driver IEMs are a single dynamic model at $74.99. For a planar alternative, the FiiO FP3 14.5mm Planar Driver In-Ear Earphone is $89.99. The OLA II suits buyers who want a hybrid with a choice of 3.5mm, 4.4mm or Type-C DSP; the sibling summaries here say nothing about their plugs, so check those pages.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

HiFiGO's warranty runs one year from the order date for parts and labor; its policy names desktop DACs and amps, IEMs and dongles at one year and gives cables and adapters three months. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement, the buyer pays the shipping, and faulty items go back for service, not for a refund. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone, and its terms are governed by the laws of China.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
