Harmonic Empire — a new audio brand co-founded by TANGZU and a group of investors — has officially entered the Indian market with its first in-ear monitor (IEM), the Xiao Qiao. The brand also revealed ambitious expansion plans, aiming to launch three more products in 2025 and up to five categories by 2026, including in-ear headphones, full-size headphones, TWS earbuds, mini-buds, earmuffs, and anime-inspired audio accessories.

With its semi-open design and premium engineering, the Xiao Qiao is designed for audiophiles seeking balanced sound, wider soundstage, and long-term comfort.

A Design Inspired by Mecha & Modern Acoustics

The Xiao Qiao IEM blends mecha-style aesthetics with advanced acoustic engineering. Its curved aluminium faceplate is crafted using high-precision 5-axis CNC machining and comes in two striking colour choices — Orange and Purple.

The standout element is its semi-open panel, which supports natural airflow and reduces internal pressure, allowing the driver to produce a more expansive, open sound.

The internal cavity is built using precision 3D resin-printing, ensuring perfect consistency, comfort, and excellent acoustic stability.
