ARTTI - T10

I have the Sennheiser HD 600, Focal Clear MG, and a bunch of IEMs. I just got the Artti T10 as my first planar IEM and for me it's perfect. Sennheiser-ish clarity, Focal-ish soundstage and separation, and sub bass extension better than either, which is easier for an IEM to achieve. It's way under your budget at $55-80, so feel free to either try that or one of the more expensive planars, just make it a current generation one. Most reviewers say the newer, much cheaper Artti T10 outclasses the older, more expensive 7Hz Timeless, for example.

Hey, I have Artti T10 and loves music on these, will it be an upgrade to go for MP145 ?? I heard they sound good but nozzle is thick ( almost close to the zero red. ??

It requires a good dac/amp and a very good seal eartips to make it shine especially the bass

I’ve been using the Artti T10. For music i like the supermix4 better, but for gaming the T10 is so damn sharp, fantastic.

I’m not trying to wade into this fight with my own battle axe, I’m just confused on this. I ran the Artti t10 on my Apple dongle perfectly fine. It’s 16.5 ohm with 96 db sensitivity. I also run my hd560s, 120 ohm and 110 db, though admittedly at a higher phone volume. It’s an NA dongle, I’ve heard the EU one has less power. Shit, I’ve run them both off my DualSense controller. I get really lost on this power amp discussion, I’ve never owned a good amp. Legitimately, am I missing out?

I was in the same boat, and never clicked for me. I think they are overrated, very narrow and lacking dynamic. Artti T10 although different response were way better. Anyway I do prefer the Mega5EST I got after 😝

I have both and they are my best headphones. The Artti T10 has more subs. The Shell seems to have more extension in the highs.

This is a little different but I'm going to suggest the Artti T10. It's $56 USD on amazon right now. Not a basshead set, but drums sound amazing through these.

Buy both (and more) on Amazon and return the ones you don't like. I was surprised how easy they made it. You don't know what you like yet, and no amount of research beats sticking them in your ear. People love the Hexa, I returned it- I understand why its rated highly, but I didn't like it. You should 100% try an Arrti T10 as well. I love it- the one I stuck with after testing the common budget picks. Cheap dongle is more than loud enough - I listen at about 55% volume on my Pc with it with the T10.

As many of you know, the Artti T10 is one of the top recommendations on this subreddit—and for good reason. It took me some time to truly appreciate what makes this IEM special, but now I understand its purpose. Initially, I was looking for an IEM to suit my rock and metal needs. With so many people recommending the Artti T10, I decided to give it a try. Honestly, I was disappointed at first. The bass felt lacking, and on busy metal tracks, the sound seemed somewhat chaotic and unrefined. However, when I tried it with more vocal-forward tracks and acoustic pieces, the T10 completely blew me away. If you enjoy genres like classical, unplugged sessions, acoustic music, jazz, or instrumental tracks, this IEM is a dream. The instrument separation, clarity, and micro-detail retrieval are simply phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with it for these genres. I’ve come to believe that every IEM has its own purpose. Some are versatile all-rounders, while others shine with specific genres. The key is to find the one that matches your preferences. Today, the Artti T10 has become one of my favorite IEMs. Things to Keep in Mind: This IEM is not for bassheads. It’s not ideal for metalheads. A good seal is crucial for optimal performance. (I highly recommend the TRI Clarion eartips.) My Favorite Tracks with the T10: Frank Sinatra - Fly Me to the Moon Nirvana - Unplugged MTV Andrea Bocelli - Time to Say Goodbye Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody If your music preferences align with its strengths, the Artti T10 will not disappoint.

When I added more bass to the T10 it felt a lil unnatural. I like it stock tuned. and it's amazing the way it is for this genres👌🏽 maybe you should consider getting the Dunu SS tips? or Tangzu tang? they're kinda popular these days.

Dunno, but for now the T10 is doing an awesome job.

every metal/rock/punk band I'm hearing the same low tone white noise/distortion when the guitar and drums play together its in every earphone I tried but I thought t10 would be different cuz people glorified the instrument separation which is maybe 10% better than any other 100$ range earphones but nothing special. I bought them to enjoy a certain type of music and they didn't excel🤷

the bass is really weak and I don't like heavy bass that covers the other instruments I just want to hear a drum that sounds like a drum should be.

Nope, you're wrong, these iems are overrated. they are pretty good for vocal/acoustic but the treble is piercing and the bass is quick with no impact/decay maybe it works for you but for me it's pure disappointment no eq can change that.

Bought artti t10, it's clear and crisp good for acoustic and vocal,no impact on the bass I feel like everyone else lied, this iem is bad for metal.(Not a seal issue, and I am using a dac) That's why I ordered castor pro bass it's on its way I'm trying to figure out if dynamic would be better for me. supermix 4 is interesting but I'm still not sure. and if I had the money aful 5+2 seems like the best choice.

Listen if you bought budget iems or even a little bit more than a budget and you didn't like them there's a cure. castor pro bass! I had an awful experience with the Artti T10, bass was weak,sounds dull,it became distorted on the higher levels.(On acoustic and vocal it's really good but the piercing treble kinda ruins the experience) It's not for hard rock,metal,punk needs. But then I met the even cheaper Kz Castor pro bass and the whole feeling I get is energetic makes you wanna jump around the bass is thumping but not bloated the vocals are clear. as far as budget options go this one is a winner search no more. It doesn't have a case nor a good cable the QA might lack a little but it's really good budget option before your next serious iems. My favorite bands to listen to are Bfmv,disturbed,slipknot, avenged,three days,papa roach,foo fighters, sum 41,simple plan,blink 182,Linkin park. Thank me later🤟🏼

Still kicking?🎶🎶 Good riddance?🙈 How would you describe your first experience? For me, Artti T10 is still one of my favorites and my special iem to fall asleep with :)

Haha thanks, yeah T10 is the real deal ♥️😁

haha T10 is still a top favorite within the other sets I have

go a little higher and pick the original Artti T10 ,thank me later :)

ARTTI T10 are a winning choice. I recommend them. https://preview.redd.it/papwcycubcqe1.jpeg?width=2976&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=687de72b949149526dc2787dd2f0277af1ea8724

I've got both. To be honest, KZ PRX are better in technicalities, but they do have that planar "timbre", and the ARTTI T10 are better for me due to that slight bump in the 1-3kHz region. Oh, and the accessories.

Yes, the sound is subjective. Also, this category of cheap IEMs are kind of: what one has, the other doesn't. In the case of the DZ4, it has a very good middle and treble response, but lacks sub bass. The Zero Red for example is demanding and lacks details. The Artti T10 has planar timbre. For me, the best is the Artti in this category. But you can find DZ4 for a very good price.

I really, really like the Dunu Titan S. Here are my quick notes about it: "Treble is very nice and present without being harsh. Vocals are perhaps a hair recessed (particularly female vocals), but clear and with nice timbre. Bass is strong and present but not splattery or fuzzy (maybe the best reproduction of "Limit To Your Love" I've heard from an IEM). Soundstage is good but not great; better front-to-back than most. Solidly built metal body, nicer cable than I expected at this price point (slender, minimal memory, minimal tangles). Comes with probably the nicest case of any IEM I own outside of Campfire (velvet lined pleather)." I'm digging the Moondrop Aria 2 so far: "Bass is emphasized but not overly so/splattery. Treble is clear and forward but not harsh or sharp. Vocals are average plus; not exceptional but nicely reproduced. Surprisingly good at quiet tracks; lower sensitivity so gives you more headroom for volume control (especially with headroom management). Heavy IEMs with a solid cable; feels like a premium product and is very satisfying to use. Appreciate that it comes with both a 3.5 mm and 4.4mm pentaconn connector, though the way the cable connects to the IEM will make using non-OEM cables a challenge." I also mostly like the Artti T10 but it can be a little bit thumpy at times without EQ (and of those three, the build quality is the cheapest). Oh, and the Hexa is good, just ... a bit boring?

Ideally artii t10 but they require some amplification but even without it if get them for 40$ they're worth it. Also their aesthetics are not really great but if u don't care about that much they're definitely alright. Other option is kz pr2 but they're not something I would advice for beginner since they require amplification as well plus possible EQ tweaks.

Their bass is a bit better is all in my opinion. If y'all already have the T10s it's not worth the upgrade

Truthear Hexa or Artti T10

Anything wired is going to sound better than Bluetooth devices. Both this iems have sound stage & instrument separation so yes, they have detail that your headphones lack

$200-300 is probably the sweet spot but there are some IEMs in the $50-80 range that sound pretty good. My personal favorites right now are the Truthear Hexa & Artti T10s

as my 1st IEM, Xuan nv or may because they are good all rounders & safe choice. S08 is good, but it's dark. And ew300 or artti t10 are also solid picks, but u might find them bright. Hexa is clinical, u might either love for their details or might hate them as they are unexciting.

EA500LM is very good but also quite v-shaped and some people find the treble too intense. The Kefine Delci is pretty good if you want a warm, slightly dark signature. It has very clean bass, not too overpowering. The Moondrop Aria 2 is also supposed to be very good, though I haven't heard it. It's supposed to sound almost exactly like the Kato, which I do have and is very good. The Delci is warmer, the Kato is more resolving (I can't say for certain if the Aria 2 is as resolving as the Kato though). The Artti T10 is a very good all-rounder planar with decent bass although it's not really warm signature as such with the stock tuning. It's only about $50 but you need to budget for a decent DAC/amp because it loses bass if underpowered. Ideally you'd want something with EQ but if you're on Android or Windows you can do global EQ in software anyway so that might not be a big deal. It's not possible on iOS without hardware. I don't know DACs that well so IDK if there's anything around that price with EQ, but there should be plenty with enough power for the T10. Another one to look at is the Aful Explorer, which I haven't heard but it's on my radar for possible next buy. It has quite a warm/bassy signature. It has loads of reviews on YT you can check out. Not sure if you can find it in budget though, might be a bit over.

If you want both good bass and prioritise clarity (over say, a fun, punchy sort of sound) then you should look at planars. You can get the Artti T10 for about £50, but it's a bit more expensive on Amazon. You should budget for a reasonably powerful DAC/amp as well. I *believe* the JCally JM6 Pro is powerful enough, although I haven't tested it myself. It seems to be about £20 on Amazon. IEM cables are usually all about the same length, but the easiest thing is just to get an extension, especially since you won't want a massive cable if you take it outside and listen on your phone. You could either use a USB extension or a 3.5mm extension. If you use a 3.5mm extension then be aware that the longer the analogue cable is, the more RF noise it's likely to pick up. So you don't want to run the cable too close to electronics (like PCs, USB hubs etc.). With a USB extension, you don't really need to worry about interference so much as it will either work, or not work, and it's unlikely to pick up enough noise to stop working.

Yep, they need a bit of power to sound right, but I don't think people appreciate how insanely good they are for the price unless they've tried them. You really appreciate it when you try a bunch of other planars up to ~$200 and realise they're all basically within about 5% identical to each other (except the S08 which is a very different tuning style).

Hey Mal, nice review! Definitely agree that the main difference comes down to the tuning between these two. I personally prefer the original, the pro has a crunchier low-end with more subbass but that colors the other frequencies a bit too much for my taste. I typically like a hybrid setup for a set with lots of subbass so that’s less likely to happen. To Artti “Pro” means “Moar BASS (and a swappable termination)”.

Nice review dude! Def agree o. The t10 pro beating the s08 in technical ability. Always found the bass on s08 boomy personally.

I just got these the planar drivers are fast and super detailed bass is incredibly tight but kinda lacking some eq with these however destroys the hexa they eq better than hexa too

I have the T10 and it’s nozzles are not small.

Thanks for that mate. I have the Artti T10 and love it. I’ve been idly looking out for what I might choose for my next pair and your review is hitting all the right notes for me, will be seeing what the going price is in Aussie dollars.

Entry level ? Very entry level : Chu 2 / Entry level : Kiwi Ears Candeza / Quite entry level : Artti T10 / Less entry level but still: Simgot EA500LM Voilà 😄

Artti T10 gets good reviews. Slightly over $50 at AliExpress. I was impressed with the ones I bought. They sound great.

Letshouer S08, but Artti T10 is very close and only $50-60 if you don't mind the look

$50-60 Artti T10 is incomparably better sounding and it's the best value

artti t10 is huge step up from ew200 and you can grab them for $50, after that em6l and supermix4, then intuaura splendor II and other $260-530 stuff, splendor II being the best value, they are all about same just different tunings and tech

Moondrop May is pretty good but they are all worse than $50 artti t10, why not get t10 and a dsp cable for t10 instead? what's the point of detachable cables anyway

a lot better

those are pretty mid, $50 Moondrop Moca is much better sounding for $50, , that's best sounding tws under $120, at 120 you get to other good sounding stuff basically, none of them until you hit like 350+ mark can compete with best $50-60 wired IEMs tho, Artti T10, those are planar and TWS just won't have enough power to run a driver like that, Sony is trying but their planar TWS is mid and costs like 250 anyway, out of your price range

S08 is best all around, if they were all same price it would be my #1 pick obviously but Xuan Nv would be #2, that said Artti T10 is best buy if we take prices into consideration and 7Hz Sonus also beats all of these

ye T10 are crazy value, they're at least 95% as good as S08 and cost quite a bit less T10 is so good value that price to performance ratio with them is better than any cheaper IEM, not just the more expensive ones

EQ out the subbass and add some upper treble and it sounds great for metal. But yeah, stock is not great for metal.

Ahh you want Castor level bass... yeah I don't think T10 can do that.

If you buy this instead of the T10 you're insane. Even if it reviews well and graphs well right now, KZ has a long and storied history of completely screwing up their iems with silent revisions in the middle of a production run.

The Castor Bass is up to +6db over the harman target from 60hz to 300hz. That's objectively way more midbass than the vast majority of people prefer. You, my friend, are a basshead. It's completely okay to be a basshead, just embrace it and understand that you need more bass than most people to enjoy music. The T10 is an incredible IEM, but it is not for bassheads.

The t10 isn't a collab tho?

I went from the Timeless to the S12 to the Artti T10 and I honestly prefer the T10 for metal. They're all very similar, but luckily I like the cheapest one the best.

So not had much time and I only have the previous PR3 in the series to compare it to. It seems the reviews have stated that they have reigned the treble in a little and I can confirm it definitely has. The PR3 had some very sharp sibilance with some vocals. It was sometimes difficult to listen to certain tracks due to the S’s and T’s feeling like needles in my ear. The PRX has reigned that in a little bit. Now most budget planars can suffer from sibilance, (it seems like the nature of the beast) but this one definitely has some restraint and it’s no longer difficult to listen to some of my catalogue. There’s still a bit of sharpness but it doesn’t peak and it has that signature metallic tone planars are known for. Sparkly for sure. But with the treble more controlled it means the bass can take over a little bit more, this gives this iem a little more warmth than the PR3. It’s not stupidly boomy but it will satisfy most edm nuts. Low end is tight and it has some good slam. Mids are as expected, good presence but bass and treble still push it back a little more but it’s definitely not an agressive V shape. Now that doesn’t mean the PR3 is now a dead product by any means. It’s still stronger when it comes to certain genres. I still recommend the PR3 for music that focuses less on vocals and/or no vocals. The sharp sparkly sound sig works amazing for classical and music soundtracks by the likes of John Williams and Danny Elfman but I could never recommend it as an all-rounder. The PRX on the other hand I could say it’s a good one and done budget planar. I also have the salnotes dioko and artti t10 (aswell as the PR3 and now PRX) of all 4 I’d say this is creeping very close to the T10 (my favourite). Currently I paid £36.29 for the PRX and I paid £46.50 for the T10 and thats a tad close for me to outwardly say the PRX is a total winner for the price but if this comes down in price a little bit more (£30 or a little less) I’d say the PRX is a definite recommendation. Still, if you have less that £40 and can’t stretch that little further then YES PRX is a banger iem.

Smart move, like I said the PR3 has it’s strengths but the sibilant vocals and it’s cold signature don’t make them good all rounders. But I’m currently listening to ACDC thunderstruck with the volume up to around 80% and I loving it PRX. The PR3 can barely make it past 50% before they become really nastly and sharp. But if you put these next to the T10 then the T10 are walking away with the medal everytime.

Vocals are good. I mean they sound a lot less metallic than the PR3’s thats for sure, but if you put a gun to my head I might say the t10’s sound more natural but not by much. I think the bass makes the iem sound a tad warmer than the PR3 and so vocals definitely aren’t as shouty. At least I haven’t had any complaints so far. I’m currently testing out the Harry Potter John Williams score as I type. It’s still sparkly but definetly not as sparkly as the PR3. Overall the iem sounds tighter, it all just works together better. The string instruments on PR3’s are sharper and stick out a bit more but definitely more natural on PRX.

Paid 41 dollars for these. Excited to hear them. My Moondrop Aria were starting to lose their paint so was looking for a new daily driver. Would you say it's a decent replacement for the Aria? I own the Artti T10 and they sound amazing but the fit isn't comfy enough to wear for a full working day.

Artti T10 or Kefine Delci is way better than these S08, it's a disappointment IEM.It just looked expensive and nice that's all.There's no soundstage at all and it sounded like a cheap earbuds.

Probably the same driver but the housing and tuning is different.  T10 Pro Tuning looks similar to Ziigaat Odyssey (warmer, smoothed out treble) where Artti T10 looks similar to Letshuoer S12 pro. 

Yeah, my ear hurts after wearing it. But its definitely worth it!

I have artti t10 and kz prx, in my opinion the prxs sound better.

Well, is a good entry by Artti, let's hope for more good things from them. I love my T10 og modded and stock... Thanks for the review, loved how you talked about the instruments and the sections of the review overall, i think when i finally get the opportunity to try this set i will conclude the same things as you brother, keep working 😎👌🏼

Oh man, for the price: the CCA trio, Kefine Klean, KZ Vader Balanced and HighRes, TRN V90 pro,Tripowin Vivace, Artti T10, KZ Zenith, gaming and audiophile beasts. (personally I'm more inclined to the Klean, the Zenith and the T10) The CCA trio and the Vader Balanced are similarly tuned, but both are one of the best iems under 30 usd. The Klean have a hidden trick who is you can do a subtle mod on it for improving the bass and tuning overall (stock is still so good), is one of my go to sets in the market, excellent tuning and a soundstage and imaging, and macro and microdetails retrieval delight. KZ Vader HighRes, this is 90% the CCA Hydro, but is a hungry boy who craves good sources. Tripowin Vivace, this is an excellent tuned iem, well priced and a gaming powerhouse. TRN V90 pro, they put all the effort in the iem itself but TRN don't disappoint: Nice stock cable, good included eartips (the trn t eartips are one of my favorite eartips ever, period. Lol), and the tuning is an upgrade to the ST7 because is a fix of the flaws of the other iem. Artti T10, is the best planar iem for 50 usd or less, is bassy, balanced, an all-rounder set to enjoy music and a gaming beast. KZ Zenith, is the best DD iem of KZ, with high praise from various reviewers, HBB and Paul Wasabii included.

Budget planars actually have a DD like bass and no noticeable planar timbre, your friend can go fine with the Sgor Luna, Artti T10 and KZ PRX, all of those offers an enjoyment other kind of iems for the same price usually don't. For the Luna and PRX you can just cable rolling, a cheap FiiO KA11 dongle dac does the job done for driving those bad boys, and of course eartips fitted for your friend liking, anyways my choice is trn t eartips, offering me the best bast and soundstage with those macro and microdetails i love. And being just 1 driver, takes eq like a champ so your friend can experiment with the tuning he likes the most, for me is the HBB target, and other targets are fine. Other redditors are talking about the Luna, I'm glad those iems having the attention and recognition it deserves.

There's a lot of more than nice options mate: -Kefine Klean (but there's reports of channel imbalance and issues with the nozzles, my unit is kicking ass fine) -Inawaken Dawn ms, a little less technical than Klean but more musical (waiting it to arrive soon) -Sgor Luna one of the best planar iems for less than 50 bucks (loving it mine) -KZ PRX the best planar by the brand, trades blows with the Luna (waiting it to arrive soon) -KZ Vader Balanced/CCA Trio oh yes, so fun, musical and technical (loving my Vader Bal and HighRes) -Artti T10 the best planar for 50ish bucks -7hz x HBB Elua oh yes , a better and more technical and fun driven iem than legato, basshead approved (loving my unit, is a well received iem in head-fi) -Simgot EW200, dude, that iem doesn't need presentation 😅 -TRN White Tiger, impressive good tuned, interesting config, I'm not so much into the shell looking but is made of metal and well builded, is what matters to me

Artti T10 has plenty sub-bass, I think you enjoy bigger mid-bass (see graph where the castor bass peaks), and that's perfectly fine. Remember people have different ears and music libraries, for me T10 has enough bass for pop and rock genres I listen to My advice is to try S08, it has relaxed upper-mids, so should be bassier in presentation. Stay away from Harman tuning which would definitely lack mid-bass for you

Don’t let people talk down the  APP2, it’s a great TWS. To be wowed by technicalities and separation and the like, I’d suggest a planar, as the APP2 is already very good for relaxed and fun listening. I’d suggest T10 or Aether depending on budget. Both are significantly better than APP2 tech-wise. Aether is one of the best deals in audio IMO.

Artti T10 value goat, total sleeper, buy it and be done

Kiwi ear aether - Magic! Nd Planet - extremely fun for dance music Artti T10 - unbeatable value

I had the exact same experience, mine arrived a little time ago and I immediately went to listening and tip rolling, but I did not find the TRI Clarion eartips better then KB Ear A07 for me, I think I have to work way harder for a good seal with those, specially since my right ear canal is wider than my left haha But I tend to gravitate to jazz/classical recordings with this IEM, I like the early pinna gain, gives it a sense of space I guess, and the detail retrieval, damn!! Better than my 560S, I actually used it to EQ the 560S to make it better in separating cymbals and treble artifacts I am now, actually, boosting the bass A LOT on these IEMs because I like the balance it gives with the treble detail

Thanks for the impressions! I've had the Aether for a bit now, and it's currently my 2nd favorite set right under DUNU Falcon Ultra. It's definitely better than T10 which I also have and still like. My favorite thing about Aether is how vinyl records sound through it. I use a tube pre-amp with my turntable and it sounds heavenly with this set.

Thanks for the review! I have both and I definitely prefer T10 OG. I expected too much out of this set as well.

Nice review! T10 Pro is a very capable set that I enjoy :)

Good, detailed review! Lots of pictures too. Dudu is a nice set, I enjoy it more than T10/T10 Pro myself.

If you’re drumming, I recommend the Artti T10, I’ve seen them for $30 during 11.11 sale ($55ish no sale). They’re planar IEMs, which means they will have the speed and precision needed for any kind of drumming you plan to do. My recommendation is almost always planar drivers for anything drums. The shell is a bit weirdly shaped, so just consider your ears and comfort needs before buying.

I’m not sure if it’s a regional thing maybe? Try this link. It shows up for me as $24 after discount. https://ja.aliexpress.com/item/1005006460408107.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.52caNaDUNaDUZZ&algo_pvid=8354a046-29b8-4858-8e8e-acf42c69b12e&algo_exp_id=8354a046-29b8-4858-8e8e-acf42c69b12e-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2160.89%2128.42%21%21%21439.00%21204.87%21%402102f6bd17317575289691502e170d%2112000037279227084%21sea%21JP%210%21ABX&curPageLogUid=nfvcLhSPefLE&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A

My go to recommendations are planars iems around this price with EQ. S12 pro, F1 pro, Artti T10 etc. Around 150, SuperMix 4 is great. I have done a [full review](https://www.reddit.com/r/iems/s/XFgncg3VpJ) here if you want to check.

The entire shell has been redesigned (material, not so much the shape) and now features an all-metal construction, and despite being a little heavier, it is, in my opinion, a little smaller. I may be one of the few who like the look of the T10 OG, but I can't deny that in this Pro version the T10 inspires much more confidence. The cable has also received upgrades, it continues with 0.78pin but now has better hardware and modular termination, being 3.5mm and 4.4mm bal. with a fitting and screwing system for greater security. The wire material remains exactly the same, they are four strands of 216 core of high-purity cooper plated silver. This same cable was used for the analysis, I see no reason to change it other than aesthetics. As for the eartips, although I find the quality of Artti eartips above average, unfortunately the tips that come with most sets, regardless of the brand, don't fit me well and regardless of that, I always try to find the perfect tip for my taste, the tip that I think sound and seal best with the iem and my tiny ears. ---------------- #Sound Impressions: I'll just keep it short, the Artti T10 Pro is a safer version of the already established T10. This will be quickly explained below, with a comparison being made with the T10 OG. ---------------- #Bass: The bass of the T10 Pro is somewhat fuller than the bass of the "OG" but at the same time it has lost a bit of speed and definition, especially the mid-bass that was super punchy, fast and with an excellent attack in the first version. It may be less exciting for some people, but I see it being good for others. It is really a safer revision but less exciting and satisfying. ---------------- #Mids/ Vocals: This is being very difficult to do, the mids are thin, hard and lifeless? Just like the vocals, which suffered a lot, they are not natural enough and once again there is no wow factor here, I don't describe them as laidback vols but they are not forward either, theoretically they are in the right place, but it doesn't seem that way when I listen and compare them with the OG or even the Letshouer S08, this one does have great mids and super natural vocals to carry those full rumbling bass, a little on the boomy side but they do a better job than the T10 Pro. ---------------- #Treble: The highs will please those who are more sensitive to this area, but at a cost. The highs have just the minimum air and sparkling to achieve the macro and micro detailing necessary to have something average. It doesn't stand out, it could have a little more brightness and extension and still be safe and satisfactory. ---------------- #Technical Performance and Soundstage: Everything here is average and if the average was marked with the Artti T10 "OG" then everything here would be below average. It's not as defined and detailed, this could be an excuse to have something more musical, no, that wasn't the case here, it's not fast nor does it have a good attack which is one of the good characteristics of a good planar driver IEM. The image is very similar to the T10 but the layers are worse, the Soundstage is average, it's not something that impresses but at the same time I wouldn't define it as a box, totally inside our heads. ---------------- #Overall Verdict: Returning to the title I decided to give this review, the word "Pro" does not always mean better. The T10 ''OG" is more capable than the Artti T10 Pro, it is a more exciting and natural version in every way, fast, agile, spicy in the right measure and at the same time musical. A safer and more properly made version of the Artti T10 already existed and is called the Letshouer S08. I think Artti can do much better than this, and I bet they will soon. But I would have preferred even for almost double the price to have just a shell revision, with the modular cable and exactly the same fit as the original T10. I hated doing this review because I really tried hard to like this set, I had high hopes for it, having used the T10 and S08 for so long I think it was the fact that my expectations were so high. *Again, thanks to Artti and Arisa for kindly sending me these units.

Thanks bro! The OG is unique especially at the price it is sold at today. I'm sure Artti can make improvements to the T10 OG without it losing its personality. I hope to see that in the future.

I'd recommend you check out the Artti T10 or Kiwi Ears Canta, the EW300 and the Kefine Delci are good picks, but I would suggest you get the Kefine Klean instead of the Delci. The Klean sounds very similar to the Delci and is cheaper.

“It’s not ideal for metalheads” I strongly disagree on that… I think it’s perfect for metal due to its punch, instrument separation and tuning. Are you giving it enough power?

Artti t10s are my daily driver, absolutely love them. Value King. My Aether's arrive on Wednesday, along with Hifiman Edition Xs. As an experiment to see if I'm missing out on enough to justify me spending 3x more! On one hand, I'd like to be blown away... On the other, I'd like to not notice so I stop buying damn headphones. So excited!!!

You get SO MUCH sound for your money with IEMs. My $50 Arrti T10 sound better than any headphone or TWS I've tried at 4x the price. I've just tried $50 Kz Decet for the first time, and I may like them even more! I'd recommend getting a $50 pair just to see if you like the comfort/fit, because they don't work for everyone.

My first IEMs were the Hexa, the Zero Red, the Arrti T10. Hexa was way too boring, Zero Red was more fun but muddy, the t10 was the best of both. Yes it looks like a hearing aid, but it's the best $50 I've ever spent.

Arrti T10 is by far the best value, nothing beats it at its price. I bought a whole bunch of planars to see if I was missing out (planning to return the ones I don't keep) Kz PRX- pretty good, t10 is better Letshuoer S08- Great, trades blows with T10 but 2x the cost Kiwi Ears Aether- the best, but absolutely not 3x better. Hifiman Edition XS (Yeah I wanted to see what a planar headphone was like) Absolutely amazing for live music/ real instruments. Not so great for hip hop etc.

Yes, I've had the t10 for a long time and used it pretty much every day. Everything else was bought in the last few weeks and so far, I intend to return all apart from the Edition XS.

I've tried planars and basshead sets so far! Kiwi Ears Aether, Letshuoer S08, Kiwi Ears Airoso, KZ Decet, CCA Hydro, and today the QoA Adonis arrived... I even wondered if 'd get a bigger benefit with headphones so I bought an Edition XS. They are all really good, but the difference between my $50 Artti T10 and the $150 Aether was much more "I guess it sounds a bit better if I concentrate." Same for ear tips- they've been wasted purchases.

Artti T10 Everyone needs to experience Planar at least once. And that thing is arguably the best Planar for its price until you get to double its price range.

I recently got the Artti T10 for $57 and I really liked it. Detailed bass and treble without cutting the eardrums, it's a fun and technical headphone. I left a Zero Red for them.

Or $50ish for Artti T10 - in LOVE OVER HERE! But being planars, they benefit with a little more than the standard phone dac to drive them OP

Good question — and it depends on what kind of gaming we’re talking about. If you’re mostly playing **competitive FPS games** and want to maximize things like **footstep clarity**, **positional awareness**, and **layer separation** under pressure, then I’d prioritize IEMs with: - **Excellent transient response** (for clean attack and fast decay), - **Low distortion under complex loads**, and - **A tuning that emphasizes the upper mids and treble** (for spatial cues) without being harsh. Planar IEMs tend to shine here due to their speed and clarity. A few solid picks (as of 2024-2025): - **Letshuoer S12 Pro** – Fantastic transient clarity and wide stage for the price. - **Artti T10** – Slightly leaner, more analytic planar with great layering. But, if you're into **story-rich or cinematic games** and want immersion more than edge detection, something with a warmer, fuller low-end and wider soundstage might be better.

The Shell is more natural sounding, more punchy in the bass area. T10 is more analytical

Arrti T10 or zero2. Forget anything made my Kz

I initially thought the ARTTI T10, was so much better than the other IEM's I owned, which are not that fantastic - mostly inexpensive KZ/CCA things, but even these were a revelation compared to some Sony and JVC ear bud things, and definitely better than Apple's Earpod. Then one day, I was challenged by a video by Akros(youtuber IEM reviewer), to compare the ARTTI T10 with the other IEM's I own. I was so shocked to discover that the ARTTI T10 was adding an artificial smear/sheen to the audio, making it exaggerated. It ended up being more of a distortion (i.e actually degrading the listening experience, cos the audio was NOT as focussed with the T10), and it was such a huge shock to me, that the Zero 2,, which I had sent into retirement, not initially being as pleased with it, turns out to be better than the T10. That's why I want to hear from others, who are unbiased, about how the T10 compares, with other IEMs. I feel there has been a hype about planar magnetics, which when I eventually listened critically, comparing for several hours, over a few days, came to the conclusion, that there is something not properly implemented on the only planar magnetic I have ever owned. The T10. Almost like it had been a mirror that deceived me. I almost forked out the almost £200 to get the S12 2024 Limited Edition, out of FOMO, and I am so glad I did not. I may have been disappointed. After this experience , where I bought the T10 based on a phenomenal recommendation, of another Youtuber/Influencer, I think the entire industry needs a whole new batch of really authentic reviewers, cos I was wondering, how could I have been so misled, for teh 1st few months of owning the T10, almost also upgraded to the recently released T10 Pro.. I feel a bit jaded about the industry, one ends up spending so much money on products that are hyped by so many, which as I have discovered, may not be as good as reported, by so many reviewers. I was deceived, and maybe, they are also deceived, or are really not that good at listening. Evaluating with their eyes and measurement tools, rather than with their ears. Huge shock that a $15 (when on sale) Zero 2, beats the T10 which costs typically $50 to $70., and on teh best sale at least $40. That kind of shocking truth should be out there in the open, but it seems those who may know, are not saying anything.!! And lots of people are misled. Sad. Too much hype. Too many products in the market too. Way too many., and the only way, for most of us, to thoroughly evaluate the product, is to buy it and listen to it., cos so many of the reviews online, based on my experience, cannot be trusted.

Here's what I own in IEM's. - CCA(CRA and Polaris), KZ (ZVX, EDC Pro, Libra X, SAGA Balanced), 7Hz Zero 2, ARTTI T10. I finally bought the SAGA Balanced not too long ago. It is definitely the best KZ/CCA, in my stable, no contest. But with a caveat, which also applies to other IEMs, but more so to KZ/CCA IEMs For me, the stock tips that come with KZ/CCA IEMs do not result in a good sound or a good fit, they end up having less bass than desired due to a poor fit, and I think their stock tips have narrow bores which produce a tinny unpleasant sound. It could be that my ear canal is not a good fit for their stock tips. To improve matters, I have had better success with the TRI Clarion tips. And even more success with the Moondrop SPRING tips. I tend to use the largest of these tips, the SPRING has an XL option larger than the usual Large, with a very tight but not to uncomfortable fit, for me. With the right 3rd party tips, the KZ SAGA Balanced delivers a commendable result, if a bit bright, in the top end. Its almost futile trying to describe a sound. I'll try. Decent bottom and top, with mids recessed. V-Shape. The bass is really good, and for me I am sure I do not need any more bass. If you are savvy with an EQ, this provides an opportunity to get even more value for this budget priced IEM, that delivers a truly commendable result., that takes the sound from Decent to Pretty Good. A low Q boost in the mid, of about +1.5dB to 2dB centered about 1K, and if you want, you may add or subtract from the high frequencies with a high shelf filter. Just one or two bands of EQ, are needed, to deliver a more than decent result cos the fundamental sound of the SAGA Balanced is all there, just a pity that the default tuning recessed the mids. Fortunately easily improved via simple EQ. SAGA Balanced + Moondrop SPRING Silicon tips + One or two bands of EQ = really balanced sound, with dynamics, fun, enjoyment, really great sound. Best I have ever heard on a KZ/CCA IEM. The EQ is simply to take an already commendable product to almost perfect, for an IEM at that price. A highly respectable listen. Actually a very good listen. I find that the Zero 2 also improves wih the TRI Clarion tips, and even further with the Moondrop SPRING tips. Where the ARTTI T10 takes the cake, is a level of just that extra refinement, microdynamics, balance, clarity, resolution, realism, just a more accurate more precise, driver, and an obviously more effortless delivery. Some people may be overwhelmed with the level of low level detail in the T10., and a delivery that I would find difficult to attempt to improve with EQ, cos its really good. Less sibilance, and man that bass drum sounds like a cannon went off. DEEP. I think the SAGA Balanced is the best budget($30 and below) IEM, I have heard. which is significantly improved with better eartips like the Moondrop Spring, and just that bit more, with a bit of EQ. A phenomenal result that is far above its suggested price. A really really good IEM, made better by the suggested enhancements. On the EQ, please do your own research, my suggestion here is a quick and dirty EQ suggestion, not one based on an analysing the frequency response. For casual listening, I have no problem replacing the ARTTI T10, with the SAGA Balanced, cos the SAGA sounds really really good, and punches far above its weight. Sometimes, you do not want all the detail of something like the ARTTI T10, which draws your attention to everything, and that is where the SAGA comes in, with a less detailed but more relaxed presentation, that really really should be heard, to be appreciated. Very Very Solid bass, needing absolutely no EQ, if anything an EQ cut, but definitely not a boost., in the low end. At this level of performance, the SAGA, once EQ'd and with a better tip, just sounds like a variant, of some of what I hear on the T10, another perspective on pretty good. Very hard to fault the SAGA balanced, it is very very good. and EQ/tip changes make it even better. Highly commendable. , especially for an inexpensive dynamic IEM. For bass heads, the bass of the SAGA Balanced, with all the caveats expressed here., is more than sufficient for almost anyone. Any more bass, would be a bit overblown in my opinion.

The fact that lots of people but kz IEMs, is not proof of their good quality. Just shows that there is a market , with lots of customers who like budget priced products. My KZ ZVX is no longer usable, the left ear is so much louder than the right ear. My KZ Polaris, sounds like junk right from the day I received it. Could be a manufacturing error. I should have returned them, immediately. Two strikes. The moment I got the Artti T10, it opened up a whole new world of what a good quality IEM could sound like. Sure the KZ's may sound ok, but most people are either not knowledgeable or do not have enough experience with a variety of products to know the difference. Once you hear better, you cannot unhear it. I could still buy another KZ or CCA IEM, but at least now, my expectations will be more reasonable and I will not be expecting them to be too fantastic

Competitive gaming? Artti t10 and if you can eq then that’s even better

In general, but specially on the T10 pro, as i have seen some people getting a not so great experience with the T10 pro (in the sense that it Didnt sound as they expected) and this could be because of the seal, those have a somewhat short reaching nozzle so that could make fit more complex for some, and is something to ensure for the correct experience :)

As a person that owns a planar and DD iems. it really depends on what Is your friend looking for, i personally dont find planars timbre bas or metallic but for some people it can be distracting, that said, BA deivers are said to be prone to that aswell so a hybrid with BAs could be counter-productive. Now, the 2 main problems i find with planars is first, they need quite good amplfication, some more, some less, but you will need a dongle dac always basically. On the other hand, DDs usually suffer a bit less even if they are underpowered. the other problem with planars is that for some the bass might not had enough punch. planar bass is good, but not that good vs a good DD Bass. For cheap, Sgor Luna is a pretty good starting planar pick tho, you can even bundle it up with a dongle dac, so its a good option, but it doesnt seem to compete with better planars for its lower price, it does perform well for its price tho. If your friend like the zero2, it could be a decent new step, but for more performing planars, you dont want F1 Pro or T10 since the focus is more on the sub-bass Rumble over mid-bass kick, the least you could do is the Klanar, and specially the Letshouer S08 if he wants a bassy sound. As for non-planars, ill rather recomend the normal delci as long as he is not planing on gaming too much, since doesnt work all that well, and the AE tunings arent exactly the best use of the driver and is more expensive. EW300 is a pretty decent pick, but some people find them heavy on the ears, so do take in mind. As for other options, similar to Zero2, there arent exactly much closer to, but you could also check the Tangzu Fudu. But honestly, if your friend can go for planars, i think it would be a better pick in this budget, and if you know he likes bass, specially the S08 from planars. If not, Delci would be the safer options between delci and EW300. If your friend plans on doing gaming the Delci AE could be more versatile, but i think you would be sacrificing a good bassy tuning vs 2 just decent tuning. Talk it with your friend and narrow down options. If you are interested in more options for $50 or below, i have a whole pick list of you are interested.

# Overview The T10 Pro is a Bassy V-shape planar IEM that sports quite the punch along with extra sparkle for people looking for energy on their music replay, priced at a bit above $100 at stock price, but usually found cheaper, especially in the official Artti AliExpress Store. # Fit and Drivability The T10 Pro, thanks to its short-reaching nozzle, is a very fit sensitive set, if you happen to feel the bass lacking in rumble and punch, big chances are that you are not having a good seal, which was one of my main discoveries when testing it. Stock eartips are functional but aren’t the best, so, if you have the possibility to tip-roll different options, it will really upgrade the experience, especially in the areas of sound and comfort. I believe I managed to get a proper fit with the stock black-core eartips included, but in the long run it started to feel uncomfortable, so I ended up switching to Dunu Candys which helped a lot for comfort while finalizing the review, although I am not so sure if the fit was as perfect as it could be. As for drivability, as most planars, T10 Pro really shines when properly powered, 65mW of power with most decent dongles should be just enough for it, although you could be losing in a tiny bit less bass performance, but that alone wouldn’t merit a dongle upgrade in my opinion, something worth mentioning is that, in my personal testing, when using the 4.4mm connection, the upper treble felt a bit more prominent than on 3.5mm, so I rather advice to use the latter plug. # Bass The bass on the T10 Pro, to my ears, focuses on mid-bass over sub-bass, but not by much, it is packing quite the quick and impactful punch that gets closer to the power of Dynamic Drivers, while the rumble of the sub-bass is there and you can hear it, but for me is not as present, this translated into a bass that has decent texture and detail, however, it could lack a bit of overall body for the more hardcore bass lovers. # Mid-range The mid-range is quite clean, decently crips and well separated thanks to the planar driver, however, there could be a bit of coloration coming from the treble, especially on female vocals, with the so called “planar timbre”, plus, the vocals could be a bit thin at times because of the tuning presentations, it is well managed all in all, they aren’t like pushed to the back as common V-shape iems usually have, which is a plus, but it is still somewhat of a V-shaped mid-range. # Treble The treble is well extended and also decently smooth, with quite the extra sparkle on the upper treble area that is fairly boosted, so, people sensitive to treble should be careful, it is not really like piercing or harsh, specially the lower treble area is well controlled, but the upper treble is for the people that like the energy and sparkle of a V-shape presentation, without it really turning aggressive, the biggest downside you could face with treble is sibilance because, while it is somewhat controlled, the extra presence could make recorded sibilance pop out a bit, which can be potentially distracting more than anything, that said, a simple EQ adjustment can help with it notably. # Technical performance Technical performance is good for the price range it is aiming at. Fine resolution, although the upper treble could be making the sound feel a bit noisy at times, fairly open soundstage that can be helped with some eartips, good imaging and quite nice instrument separation, especially if you are planning to use it on busy tracks. Note weight is good, but not aggressive, around a middle ground of presence. # Final thoughts The T10 Pro is quite an impactful IEM that focuses on intensity on the replay, good for people looking for both a deep punch and a sparkly treble. Accessories are fine, given that it comes with interchangeable 4.4mm and 3.5mm plugs, although eartips could be better, that said, given that it is usually for sale below the $100 price tag, it’s a quite interesting pick for people looking for this type of tuning. \---------- **WOULD RECOMMEND:** * For people that like energetic tunings with some extra bass (Bassy V-shape). * For people that want clean and separated vocals, but don’t want a vocal focused set. * Treble for people looking to test a bit on treblehead territory * For people that like a more impactful bass in their music. * For people that like or can handle “planar sound/timbre”. * For people that like to do EQ, since it works decently with it. * Midly safe for high volume listeners. * Fairly good for rock music genres. /----------/ **WOULD NOT RECOMMEND:** * Not for people looking for very neutral or forward vocals. * Might not be the best option for bassheads given the V-shaped presentation. * Not for people that like neutral types of tunings. * Not for people very sensitive to treble. * People that use iems at high volumes should be cautious with the set. * Might not be the best for electronic music genres (Very personal opinion). \---------- ***Full disclosure, this set was sent by Arrti, I did NOT buy it with my own money, but the opinions were given in my own accord.*** ***Thanks a lot for reading, the Budget Knight bids farewell, wishing you and Arrti the best, good luck. – O.E.***

Hope is useful for people looking for insight on the T10 Pro.

Mnn.. sadly, i havent tested the T10 properly yet, but ill just say, if you want an allrounder, T10 does that better, Pro is for people looking for quite the extra bass and the treble sparkle.

I do have them actually, but i havent been able to properly test them, that said, T10 is more bassy and V-shaped, while The og T10 is more of a classic balanced, soft V-shape, i cant give my opinion that much on technical performance, but i might be inclined to believe they are around the same.

Hello! First of all, i have smallish ears too, while artti t10 are very nice overall, they are not THAT small, sound is great though :) I have ie200 and they get a solid recommendation, also look at meze alba, from moondrop you should look at chu2 (dsp is better soundwise, i have both), LAN, SSR which are very small but the tuning is kinda weird (see a graph to get an ideea), Letshuoer d13 are kinda the same shape as artti t10 but considerable smaller (40 ish $ on ali and boy they worth it at this price), tanchjim tanya dsp if you like your bass. From this list the only set i don't own is the meze alba. (ps: i can sleep with every iem you see mentioned above). Best of luck and happy listening mate!

Save up and get Artti T10 for 50

T10s got a decent driver inside, play around with eq. How you're powering them?

Not a big fan of the s15 design. Well tbh, planars in general don’t look very good to me. I would say the the Tangzu Wu Zetian that just released is the best looking. Didn’t read rave reviews about it, but it sound decent apparently while being quite expensive. Timeless range looks great also and sound better. Kiwi Ears Aether use 3rd gen drivers like the S15, so they should the best of the bunch, and are a good value. Artti T10 looks generic but is by a long mile the best value for money for a planar right now and should be the default buy if you want to try planar.

KZ has about 2-3 incidents that people still cling to and just hate in them. In general I have found they have pretty solid products I’m currently happy with the ZS12 Pro X, while it’s a nice upgrade from ZS10 for a significant upgrade, go for the CCA Hydro, depending on your budget ofc. If you want planer sound at a budget, get Artti T10

I agree! I totally forgot to recommend it ‘cause I’m too absorbed in my Aether nowadays lol. I returned my Artti T10 because I hated the harsh treble. PRX has smoother treble while still maintaining excellent details and wide soundstage. It is a very underrated planer set and a steal -at around $30. I got mine during the spring sale for $21!!

I really like the delci, but if you want a planar the t10 is a great option regardless of price. I guess spin a bottle or flip a coin, both are great options. EDIT ohh that’s the klanar…..hmm probably t10, but the klanar has a better built and fit.

congrats! tea pro and t10 pro are the top two favorites in my collection. you are 100% correct about tip rolling the arttis. strangely what ended up working best for me are a random tip from the 7hz zero stock set, and an oversized kbear07

artti t10. if your budget allows, t10 pro and mangird tea pro. truthear zero red are great as well if the thick nozzles fit your ear. when it comes to sub bass it is vital to find the right tips for your ear, so budget for that as well

Sennheiser IE200 are tiny. Another possible choice is the Artti T10. A $51 planar at AliExpress with exceptional sound. Plus it has a round, smooth shell that's not too big. No edges to catch weird anatomy of various ears. Good luck.

The most underrated, underappreciated great IEM on Earth. Is it a giant killer? No. But it's stupid good for $51 at AliExpress. Definitely sounds better than an entry-level planar should.

The Artti T10 is a KILLER all-arounder as an entry-level planar for $51 on AliExpress. Every genre sounds so good, so right, on it.

Neither. The Crin Red is overrated and has long nozzles that can cause fit issues. The ATH-M20x is hot garbage. Piercing, grainy treble, bloated bass. A V-shaped mess. Poster below is correct, too. IEMs are a MUCH better value in your price range. For less than $60, I recommend either the Kefine Klean or Artti T10.

You should get a unit with a bone conduction driver (BCD) if you crave wide stage and pinpoint imaging. BCD really brings out those two aspects of sound. If you can stretch your budget a bit, Penon Fan 3 is superb at $175, but you need to join the Penon VIP email list at the Penon website and wait a few weeks until you receive a code to get that price, which is 50 percent off. It will happen; you just need to be patient. The Pula Anvil also is an excellent BCD set for around $199. I own the Fan 3 and have tested the Anvil extensively. Both are lovely, but I would go for the Fan 3 with the VIP code. I'm also testing the KiwiEars Aether now. Very good for a big planar driver. No BCD. It's $135 at Amazon right now. Very nice imaging, but stage isn't huge. Still, balanced sound. Don't sleep on the Kefine Klean (single dynamic driver) or Artti T10 (single planar driver), either. Both have excellent balance and vocal clarity, with solid stage and imaging, at just $50 each. Punch WAY above their weight despite no BCD.

Fantastic choice, OP. The T10 is the best value planar on Earth. So damn good for $51.

Buy the T10, not the Pro. The T10 OG is a better set, period. Sequel was a regression.

I don't have much experience with planars as I only own the Artti T10. I'd say the YAN definitely has a better soundstage but detail retrieval is a much closer battle. I think YAN does a fantastic job of maintaining clarity and almost being a chameleon of sorts. At the same time, the thing I love most about Artti is its DD like bass while maintaining all the qualities of a great planar which of course includes great resolution and detail retrieval in its own right.

The T10 shell doesn't fit comfortably in my ears so a more common universal shape like the Klanar would be best for people like me. Otherwise, soundwise they are very similar to me. I can't hear the "planar timbre" from the T10s and the bass is enough for me as a Harman adherent. @$55 USD the T10 is priced low enough to be an impulse buy for some people and the extra cost @90 for the Planar is mostly the metal shell.

To respond to the other comments yeah I think getting a Moondrop iem (like the chu, ssp, lan, etc.) or a magnetic planar with smaller shell would be best for comfort and sound quality on a budget. I have the Moondrop Lan + Artti T10, and they are some of my favourite sets. They fit really well and sound so natural for the price. The LAN is smaller than the T10, but the T10 is lighter due to the plastic shell. The SGOR Luna though have a pretty sizable shell, weight quite a bit, require you to insert the nozzle pretty deep into your ear, and are harder to drive but also sounds very good when properly driven. I'd avoid them if you are concerned about the comfort and portability. Can't say anything about the S08 but going by size and weight measurements I've seen online (thanks to Mr. Audio Amigo for this one) they look comfortable. (Also, shoutout for Mrs. Audio Amigo testing how their IEMs fit with a smaller ear) One other recommendation I have would be grabbing a pair of cheap flathead earphones. The FAAEAL Iris 2.0 is really good for their price (~8 USD on aliexpress) and sounds very natural. They only have around 60% of the detail retrival capability of a Chu 2, but you don't have to put anything in your ear and can still hear your surrounding. These pairs are my go-to when I'm on a walk or going to the gym.

Dioko are a trash planar. Don’t even look at it anymore. It’s hot garbage for a planar and is easily surpassed by newer and cheaper Planars like the T10. Ew300 all day long.

Reviews or just buy the pro. I have the T10, Sgor Luna and have the S08 on order. What's one more to add to the list?

There are a lot of good options for gaming under $50. I personally use moondrop LAN, OG 7Hz Zero, new 7Hz Zero 2. I've even used the Sgor Luna and Artti T10 (planars) for gaming. From your music choice I would suggest something along the zero 2 which has decent but not overpowering bass.

Moondrop makes some of the smallest shells. I would suggest the LAN over the Chu II. The issue is on multi DD/hybrid the sheep gets bigger to fit more drivers. Planar like Artti T10, Sgor Luna, or Letshouer S08 tend to be pretty small. I have the T10 and it is quite a compact shell.

Sounds like you want an extortionate amount of bass. I would suggest looking at IEMs that work with HBB. He is known for heavy bass tuning and some can be had quite cheaply. I have the Artti T10 and I would never describe them as bass monsters. They have very tight bass with rapid decay. I personally like them very much but this is the thing about this hobby, everyone hears things differently and therefore you should always check the graphs for IEMs as they give you a decent representation.

Oh there are a few. Artti T10, SGOR Luna, Truthear Hexa, KBEAR KB02, moondrop Aria 2. Just got the 7hz G1 so testing those now. T10 is my primary go to at the moment.

Second the Artti T10. With that you could pick up a Fiio BTR13 or btr15.

It really works well for metal, and many other genres. I just got the Sgor Luna, another planar, but described as DD, so bass decay lingers a bit longer which could be interesting. I did hear Artti is due to release version 2 of the T10 but who knows how true that is.

used to spend thousands on audio gear. Not worth it ultimately. Yes, I absolutely loved my Focal Utopia, but I enjoy my HD660S and cheaper IEMs just as much. My recommendation is to buy a selection of cheaper IEMs, it will help you discover sound signatures, as well as what fits you best. The LetShuoer S12 and other planar IEMs like NiceHCK F1, Artti T10 are crazy value for the level of sound quality. Refer to [https://squig.link/](https://squig.link/) for frequency curves.

Yes, budget IEMs are crazy good these days, especially if you use EQ to touch up the output to fit your personal taste. For me, the original Artti T10 with EQ is the best budget device. I bought a few budget IEMs over last year and a half and the T10 is the best of all of them, followed by the Kiwi Ears Cadenza at $35.00. The thing about the T10 is that it does not fall apart with complex material. It keeps that transparent midrange and treble. The bass and low mids is where it lacks substance. It has good amount of bass, especially with EQ, but it's not the same authoritative bass that something like the Hype 4 has. But even then, for $55.00 the T10 provides disproportionate amount of enjoyment.

It's the same driver as in many other planars, except in cheap housing. Definitely a bargain as far as the sound quality alone goes. As far as looks go, they match the price, but if you don't care about the presentation, it's a winner.

My recommendation: don’t buy off hype, don’t go off ChatGPT and instead watch a lot of reviews on budget iems and go from there. I bought a planar Letshuoer S08 via the hype here: HATED IT (Ish) I bought an Arrti T10 here via hype here: hated it. I bought KZ Casyor Bass: hated it Bought a KZ ZNA on a whim… been the best IEM for me lately. Perfect sub-bass, clear details and no treble fatigue… The moral is, don’t buy via graphs or hype. Do your own research via YouTube reviews, or IEM’s you like the look of. Most for the crinacle stuff honestly is shit in my opinion. Uncomfortable nozzles… etc.

Of course it’s not better it’s the same as the T10 just with a metal body 🤣 I took both apart and they’re exactly the same. Same drivers. Same everything. You’re literally paying the cable and the metal housing… that’s it.

Of course it’s not better it’s the same as the T10 just with a metal body 🤣 I took both apart and they’re exactly the same. Same drivers. Same everything. You’re literally paying the cable and the metal housing… that’s it.

Okay so I’m back here again haha… So… After the last recommendations I went and bought some Arrti T10’s and honestly… I don’t understand the hype… The bass sucked. Plain and simple. There wasn’t any real punch. Like yes, they’re very detailed and accurate and clear but like… where’s the bass? 🤷🏼‍♂️ I also bought some Castor Bass, just because I saw them recommended slot as a budget IEM, and honestly with the 3 & 4 up, these actually sound really really GOOD for metal. I’ve also some Letshuoer S08 on the way, and I’m worried that I’m going to hate them based on the Arrti… Therefore I guess I’m looking for the best of both worlds but at a good price. I already own the TRN White Tiger and honestly those are a step in the right direction. (Micro Planar and 2 DD) The Aful Explorer 5+2 are my wish list IEM atm. But I’m a broke uni student haha So has anyone got any recommendations that I may enjoy? The double DD Castor was pretty bang on, and I’m wondering whether the CCA Hydro could be what I want? I’ve also owned the KZ ZS 10 Pro X and I enjoyed those, just wanted a smidge more bass. I listen to a lot of sub-bass type genres like Wave Trap, DnB and Metal. So yeah give me your recommendations, especially lesser known IEM’s Ps: Simgot’s are also intriguing me… Thanks and happy listening dudes and dudesses

Literally me dude. For metal that sucked ass, and I have a music degree and produce music too so I know about EQ and all that jazz. These things sucked ass. HARDCORE. I had more fun with the KZ Castor Bass and my old EDX Pro’s than this Arrti T10. Arrti are also teasing the T10 Pro and when i asked what upgrades they’d actually made to the IEM like driver upgrades and tuning, they said: just the shell and the a modular cable… like wtf… it’s exactly the same… 😅 I tho k I’m a dynamic driver boy. Something about that bass bump just doesn’t hit the same on planars. Only thing that pleased me was the TRN White Tiger and that has more DD than planar. The micro planar is 6mm and for the highs. Highly recommend it. Yes it looks like a zebra skin but fuck it, they sound darn good and actually have BASS. Ps: I’m also tempted to start my own brutal review YouTube channel because these other reviewers are just sales people and clowning at this point.

If you can stretch your budget, I’d say grab some Arrti T10 or some Letshuoer’s

The Arrti T10 is miles better than the PRX. Anything Kz sucks bruh. The Arrti T10 is the best budget planar you can buy that’s what makes it super good. And the Letshuoer date highly regarded.

It’s actually a really good IEM. Out of all the IEM’s I own so far: Letshuoer S08 Artti T10 kZ ZS 10 Pro X KZ Castor Bass KZ EDX Pro I’ve kept the ZNA as my dailies. They just work perfectly for every genre I listen to. Metal, Liquid DnB, Wave, EDM, Progressive Metal, Hip-Hop,

These have good sound but they were insanely uncomfortable

Artti T10 is pretty good, EW200 is significantly worse.

I can recommend Artti T10. It's clearly better than EW200 (which I also own)

EW200 are much brighter and less detailed, T10 are also pretty bright, but they are not so fatiguing.

To my taste, the T10 has a healthy amount of bass, especially sub bass. But it seems you are looking for something with even more and bigger bass. You might want to look towards some of the bassier HBB collab iems.

I enjoy mine. I had the Artti T10 prior. It sounded pretty good, but didn't fit well. The S08 seems to be a much better fit for my ears. I also like that the S08 can be cranked up a bit without getting shrill, like the Aful Explorer.

Artti T10 is the answer. It’s cheap, great build quality, very durable, and competes with IEMs 3-4x its price. it’s got a small shell, and the venting isn’t large, so you most likely won’t have sweat dripping into your IEM. I’d still try to wipe it down occasionally though. But at the same time, the $15 Walmart earbuds I worked out with from 2005-2010 weren’t waterproof and I never had a problem.

Maybe the Artti T10 is what you're looking for.

I felt the same way when I got them, however the Dunu S&S tips fixed this issue for me. From my experience, it increased the bass a bit.

I heard that they are very spicy on the highs but never heard of the bass. Warm planarwise I have Artti T10 is pretty good KZ PRX is also very good but they are not as technical. Also some people really like S08

It's a rather common recommendation in this subreddit. I have a set, love them. If you can get over the looks and plastic build, they're very impressive, especially at the price. Nice accessory kit, too. Should be paired with a relatively powerful source though.

Not really but for someone who likes pinna gain they lacks a bit, besides that nothing else wrong with them

>Artti T10 the best planar for 50ish bucks ☝️ +1

Artti T10 is ok, but Explorer is really questionable, it can be shouty in treble and lacks pinna gain, however with EQ it's amazing really.

Also, look into the Artti T10. 11.11 is soon on AliExpress and you can get them for 50 USD or under. Amazing IEM for the price and it's comfortable.

>But I would have preferred even for almost double the price to have just a shell revision, with the modular cable and exactly the same fit as the original T10. Interesting, because for me the fitment of the OG T10 was the biggest problem. I cant wear them for more than a half hour, 45 minutes, TOPS, without getting massive hot spots in my ears. The T10 Pro fixers all of that. Tuning wise, i actually prefer the T10 Pro. I think its one of those IEM's where it can feel disappointing if you havent branched out into higher priced IEM's. Because, whether anyone wants to admit to it, the T10 Pro IS a better tuned IEM. The way the treble roll of happens controls a lot of the Planar Timbre, and matches closely with many popular tuning curves from Ziigaat and AFUL. Which can allow for a little higher volume playback, and like the Explorer, some additional detail to come out with that higher twist of the volume knob. The problem is that the OG T10 really retains a lot of that Planar shimmer, and gives the impression of detail by sounding overly bright in the Pina Gain Region at 2k, making it seem very vocal forward. And that can, IMHO, make the OG T10 seem to lack some cohesiveness in the presentation, which we see in the S12 2024, and S08, and T10 Pro. I do agree that the bass is a little too thick. I would have liked to see it a little leaner to match the rolled off treble. Its almost a less dramatic version of the Arcadia, with the added speed of the Planar, which the Arcadia just cant match. And when you look at it from that perspective, it becomes a pretty impressive IEM for the price. That being said, i think if you find the T10 Pro to be a little lacking, the next best alternative is the KiwiEars Aether. It pretty much hits a balance between the T10, and T10 Pro. It retains some of the OG T10 Pina Gain, but matches the treble roll off of the T10 Pro everywhere else, EXCEPT at 8k. The Aether also has a lower sub bass shelf, which kills the overdone bass problem of the T10 Pro complete. And finally, the tuning of the Aether almost totally removes that Planar Timbre and Shimmer. Unfortunately, most people wont have as good of a time getting teh Aether to fit, as they will the T10 Pro. The T10 Pro is going to remain in my rotation for the forseeable future. It just hits all of the right spots i want it to, in terms of sound and comfort.

What's up, bros? You probably know the Artti T10 was a big hit. But what about its successor? Is it still worth it? I'm here to answer to solve all your curiosities. Pros: - Design - Fit - Improved build quality - Good imaging - Nice detail and separation - High resolution, textured bass Cons: - planar timbre - Treble can be sharp at times Build: The T10 Pro definitely showcases upgraded materials compared to its predecessor. The T10 was criticized for its relatively flimsy-feeling plastic build, and this seems to have been faithfully addressed. Metal material that won't break easily. It definitely feels more robust. Fit: Because the shells aren't large, the fit is good. It's a shell design that even people with small ears can comfortably wear. Noise Isolation: Since the shells are small, it's about average, but with the right eartips, you can expect decent noise isolation. Design: The design generally shares a similar feel to the OG model, but with the addition of subtle patterns and the changed build, it definitely looks more premium. Accessories: It provides decent quality silicone tips, a case, and a good cable. The eartips are usable in practice, and I quite liked the cable of this IEM. A nice and sturdy silver cable. Bass: The bass quality is truly amazing! This IEM has the best bass I've experienced among planar IEMs ( total 12). The texture is good, it extends well, and the resolution is quite high for the price, making it easy to discern the movement of the bass. Vocals: Vocals are separated quite well from other frequencies and do not exhibit sibilance. Female vocals, in particular, are sweet and detailed. Male vocals are a bit bright but have a suitable thickness, excellent vocals overall. Treble: Overall, it's not excessively bright and possesses decent extension and airiness. Instruments in the higher frequencies (especially drums) can occasionally sound a bit sharp, but this can be resolved with eartips. Overall, it's quite detailed, technical, and the extension is slightly restrained. Timbre: Frankly, the planar timbre of this IEM is strong. A metallic-like sound is also heard more as the tracks become more complex. This could be a negative point for some users. However, this only appears in some rather complex tracks and is a shared issue among several planar IEMs. Instrument Presentation: Drums: Has a decent punch and good airiness. However, you might occasionally feel they are a bit sharp. Cymbals: Can sometimes sound sharp, but they have a strong presence with good imaging. Acoustic Drums: Have good airiness and a pleasant sharpness that makes their presence distinct. Rumble: Not massive, but has a decent impact. It doesn't miss small rumbles, and I like this aspect. Guitar: String plucks are good, resonance is good, and the strumming is decent. Electric Guitar: Definitely has pretty nice texture. Nothing more to complain. Piano: Relatively clear, and again, well-separated from other instruments and distinct. Violin: Has a moderately restrained resonance and is still very well-separated from other instruments. Electronic: In EDM music, the T10 Pro provides both good texture and dynamics at the same time. I actually enjoyed most of the tracks. Detail: The detail is quite good. It's not the best detail set for the price, but it definitely reveals subtle sounds well enough even in complex tracks. Resolution: The resolution of this IEM is quite outstanding and actually shines in complex tracks. It flawlessly resolved even metal genre tracks, which are among the most complex. Imaging: It has very good imaging as a planar IEM. It has no shortcomings in representing multiple instruments clearly, and overall, whatever sound it portrays, the edges are not blurry. Satisfying. Soundstage: It's hard to say the soundstage is wide, but it has good depth. In fact, depending on the track, it clearly brings the feeling of sounds coming from further away. Vs Kz prx: The PRX is in a lower price range but is also a solid IEM. The PRX has a wider soundstage, but the T10 Pro is definitely more detailed and resolves better. The bass of the T10 Pro has better texture, while the PRX is more resonant. The T10 Pro excels in build, cable, and included accessories. However, the treble of the PRX is safer and has less of a flat timbre. Vs s08: Okay, now this is a fair comparison. The S08 is technically definitely below the T10 Pro. The timbre of the S08 is generally warm, thick, and round. It's a much more single DD-like sound than the T10 Pro. The soundstage isn't particularly outstanding on either, and both products have good included accessories. Artti t10 pro is a compelling IEM that is technically very solid while also securing high-quality bass and vocals. Flat timbre and sharp treble are drawbacks, but I think the pros outweigh them. For users looking for a solid and technical planar IEM at a low price of around $80 (regular price), this is definitely a recommendable IEM.

got the t10s last week and they insane, one of the best in my entire collection

It's so dark it needs ess glare to fix it?

t10/ t10pro punch high, especially with eq

If you find sm4 too bright, highly suggest checking out the artti t10 pro. My review on them should by this week. Depending on how sensitive you are and how loud you listen to Odyssey's might get a bit hot in the treble area. Although I personally never felt it! Odyssey's are a good partner to the lean sounding sm4 and yes they are a bit chonky.

Highly suggest checking out the artti t10 pro then. My review should come soon and I guess you might like it. If you found Wanner sibilant thats quite a stretch 😅 so give the t10 pro a try. Its about $70 now

Tanzu Wu Zetain is a little dated, but I like how it sounds. I find the Aether a little anemic - but I like warm IEMs. In 2025 - I'd say the T10 pros come really close at a way lower cost

Artti T10 pro hands down. I also own the Xenns Tea pro which are A tier according to Freshreviews channel. But doing A-B comparison for Call of Duty Artti T10 Pros are superior for directionality and depth perception. I made my friend try out both and he has a much better K/D than mine and he too concurred. Artti T10 pros have better separation and layering and easier to gauge distance too as they have a larger soundstage. Their verticality and the ability to make distant sounds, sound distant is spot on. Secondly, they have relaxed upper mids and lower treble so sounds like your own gun fire and recovery heart beat is not as loud and zesty, which makes it easier to pickup other soundcues. But the Tea Pros are my go to set for single player games like Returnal.

Thank you for the reply. Still got the regular t10s in my cart. Undecided as I already have purchased the waner and qoa mimosa last week. I like the build quality of the pros but I think the regular t10s tuning appeals to me more. 😵‍💫

I think you should go for Artti T10 pro instead of T10. T10 pro has better sound signature and better build quality and stock cable is really good.

They’re tuned differently.

Yes. Same drivers, and while the metal shell may add some color, I think you can be pretty close, still. I hear the Pro is somewhere between the T10 and the S08.

This one. I think most people that have it say that its a definite upgrade

I own the artti 10 too and found it to be quite bassy, imo you aren't getting a good seal.Try this: Pull your ear up and push the iem in with your thumb [Follow the first example in this video guide](https://youtu.be/8KwXEqe6Gq4)

I have my eyes on these bad boys. Saving up for them. These could be my end game iem but for now I'm settling on the Artti T10 Pros. Also the whole Katyar Kaljaat Ghusli is my top 5 favorite albums ever with Natarang. Good music. Enjoy until then.

Yaa actually I'll try the Tea Pro's tuning on my T10 Pros. Thanks for suggesting. I tried a bunch of eq preset on Qudelix app but only a few matched but still didn't meet my expectations so I did mine and saved. I'll try the ones you suggested.

I too was kinda underwhelmed at first but thankfully my Qudelix does a great job at eq. If you can eq it and make the upper treble a bit pronounced and drop the sub-bass by a decibel or 2, you'll get a beautiful sounding iem. I'm in love with my T10 Pros after equing it. Great overall set for daily use. Also one thing to note is that this iem can react really well to eq so make it sound however you like. It certainly punches way above it's price, just pair it with an ESS DAC that'll bring out the details from this iem.

Really in love with this iem. It does need some burn-in to really open up. I thoroughly enjoy them with most of my Library, comfort, built quality and great cable is a bonus.

I really didn't like these before I tried this. Brings them closer but not all the way to the original T10's tuning.

It hits a certain niche, those who found the artti-t10 too bright and the s08 too dark. I like it, use it specifically for male vocal hiphop genre.

S12 2024 is the general consensus. For me, I like the artti t10 pro the most atm. Not as technical as standard planars but bass sounds natural and playback is non-fatiguing.

Artti T10 pro is so good!! V-shape and does it well!!
