ARTTI - T10 Pro

What are your favorite parts of the Truthear Zero Reds? A step up to consider aside from the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro would be the ZiiGaat Crescent. They have all of the characteristics of the Xenns except what I found to be a bit of harshness in the higher frequencies for some songs. One thing I find that helps me look at and envision what an IEM might sound like, while comparing my own experience in listening to others and knowing the graphs, is what may come next or where I'm going to be happy. Here is an example for the two IEM I have mentioned. Please note who's graph this is so it helps when you view their reviews additionally on YouTube for example. Xenns Mangird Tea Pro v ZiiGaat Crescent https://preview.redd.it/69biu61xzrrf1.png?width=2314&format=png&auto=webp&s=9535b84c71291f1cb3a689fddd5826c8ca4482be

Now the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro v Arttis T10 Pro (I am testing these) and find them to be every bit as great as the Mangird Tea Pro and have less sibilance for $230 less. https://preview.redd.it/kcnxoaxu0srf1.png?width=2316&format=png&auto=webp&s=5eb5d9d6b95f17dd81e7cbc76bf4d003b12c9531 I'm not getting any sibilance in every genre I play and love these, though they are not exactly the prettiest of IEM, they sure do sound great. I'm also consistently using Dunu S&S eartips as they fit my ears best for a good seal and I'm getting a consistency with other IEM I have tried.

Paid $71 on Amazon, and after a few songs, boxed them up and sent them back. I had a very different experience with the T10 Pro. The construction is worth the $15 but no more, unless the version I got were counterfeit.

EM6L and Artii T10 pro are both very good options.

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

I like t10 pro but I have a small preference for PRX. I am tempted to buy something huge and stupid like timeless 2 or Shody P20...

It's not a knock on IEMs. Just my personal experience. idk what it is but across my Moondrop Aria, Salnotes zero and 1 month of Artti T10s, I couldn't get much footsteps or real in game indicators of enemy whereabouts in ***Warzone***. Pulled out my 3 year old HyperX out of the dust and everything was more clear. But, my God , do i hate how hot these Headphones get (even with aftermarket pads) and I have to cool them down between games by holding it towards my fan Lol. still IEMs are my go to for everything else throughout the day, I just put up with the b/s headphones for Warzone. FWIW I believe they did design the audio of the game focused at the console market, i.e. 99.9% of them are using traditional headphones). side note: Fortnite is perfectly fine on IEMs fwiw. Played several years of tourneys on IEMs without worries. I think Warzone sound engine is just terrible.

>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

My recommendations: NiceHCK F1 Pro. On sale, they're like $65.00. Bright V-shaped, they feel very balanced, and ARTTI T10. On sale, they're like $50.00. Mid-centric V-shaped. They feel very balanced. ARTTI T10 Pro. On sale, they're like $90.00. Warm, they feel darker but with details. KZ PRX. On sale, they're like $60.00 on Amazon US. On AliExpress, they're like $30.00, or even less. Classic V-shaped, but well done. Source: trust me, bro. https://preview.redd.it/dh3zmb1ot7jf1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=51578f4aaca377c78b896ed66b85e9656bfe750c

I've tried some planars in the sub $100.00 category (budget restrictions), and I really love the planar sound. So far, I've tried the ARTTI T10, KZ PRX, ARTTI T10 Pro (right on the pic), and NiceHCK F1 Pro (left on the pic). If you've tried planar magnetic IEMs (pure or hybrid), which ones have been your fav? Mine are the ARTTI T10 Pro, but not by far.

I'd love to try the Shozy P20, but I haven't found them at a good price yet (I got the ARTTI T10 for $30.00, the KZ PRX for $26.00, the ARTTI T10 Pro for free and the NiceHCK F1 Pro for $41.00). How are the Sgor Luna compared to the ARTTI T10?

\-KZ EDC Pro is THE bang for buck pair of IEMs. Period. I wouldn't say they're the best in the sub $20.00 category (not by a long shot), but you can get a sub $20.00 pair AND the KZ EDC Pro, usually for the same $20.00 if you use discounts. You can have them as a spare pair of IEMs for Every Day Carrying (EDC) and leave your better, more expensive IEMs at home. \-The best KZ planar by far are the PRX, and they're around $30.00 (or less) on AliExpress. They're harder to drive than the ARTTI T10 Pro or the Sgor Luna, and the included accessories suck (except for the ear tips, they're quite good for my ears), but they're easy to recommend if you can get them at a(n even better) discount and have a better spare KZ-QDC cable around. https://preview.redd.it/4z7dggtk58df1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=45eaf3a592ad7051b936bbe578e22cc9bffd5dae

ARTTI T10 are the best planar IEMs you can get at the sub $50.00 category, with discounts, of course (get the stock 4.4mm balanced cable version for extra juice and some adapters if you plan to use them with 3.5mm single-ended). I'm rocking the ARTTI T10 Pro and the NiceHCK F1 Pro right now, but I still keep my OG T10 🫶🏼 (that's a 2.5mm balanced cable to use with an old dongle DAC/Amp I have, but the stock cable is great 🫶🏼). https://preview.redd.it/c9vgrlum78df1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb448ecf435db6d01b0aae68766133b302e78fa5

Sorry for the late reply: The T10 Pro have more mid-bass. They aren't as bright as the OG T10, but the build quality is better, and the Pro version fit me like a glove. They're still quite detailed, just warmer and smoother for longer listening sessions.

Either Letshuoer S08 of ARTTI T10 Pro are great warm planars

Another warm planars are the ARTTI T10 Pro. Both these and the S08 are great options. https://preview.redd.it/vv144wno36qf1.jpeg?width=3695&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2791da1e6c0c0cfc2a51b5a7d9aa00f7dc996919

First of all: I am not an expert in hi-fi. I'm just a simple man who was looking for good IEMs, and this is only my subjective opinion. The IEMs I was looking for should cost between $50 and $150 and should have balanced, lively bass with pleasant treble that does not tire the ears. So far, I have tried many IEMs and tested them on my PC and smartphone without any additional devices. No DAC, no amp. It was important to me that they were ready to use right out of the box. For me, good sound is when it is carried by lively bass and deep frequencies that guide you through the music, especially for drum and bass and metal. Low frequencies, and especially bass, form the basis of a good listening experience; that's the primary purpose of why I prefer hi-fi headphones, to get into it. My rotation: **≈ 50$ IEMs which I tested:** LINSOUL TANGZU Wan'er LINSOUL SIMGOT EW200 MOONDROP CHU II LINSOUL 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 KZ Castor LINSOUL KZ ZS10 PRO 2 LINSOUL KZ ZS10 PRO X **≈ 100$ IEMs which I tested:** LINSOUL SIMGOT EW300 ARTTI T10 Pro TRUTHEAR Hexa Surprisingly, only two of the IEMs I tested impressed me with their overall bass reproduction. I couldn't decide between the KZ PRO 2 and the ZERO BLUE 2, but in the end I chose the BLUE 2 because it offers the best overall package. For me, the ZERO BLUE 2 is simply badass right out of the box. These were the only IMEs that had this deep sounding I was looking for. https://preview.redd.it/fm66t5fl5uef1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87099e1c617e96b62bb51f28fe01520ebe96a0c6 https://preview.redd.it/pyn3x43m5uef1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=721c67332e8f8dd3db7ed8ac6e948c098e174871

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

$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

bright planar: artti t10 (best value, letshuoer s12 pro like), nicehck f1 pro (letshuoer s12 pro like), Tinhifi p1 max & p1 max 2 (pandas) [little hard to drive], if the budget allows, letshuoer s12 pro. warm planar: letshuoer s08 (dark signature), artti t10 pro (s08 but not too dark), if the budget allows, hidizs mp145 (beware of large shell) overall best: kiwi ears aether & 7hz timeless II & simgot et142

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

I love my Artti T10 Pro for rock but you need a little more power than usual to drive them

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

t10/ t10pro punch high, especially with eq

The preset Poweramp EQ made my Hexas have tight,clean bass and a much better high end response. I still prefer the Arrti T10s though.

I started down the IEM rabbit hole with ew200’s, about eight months later bought the artti t10s… then finally really splurged with the AFUL Performer 5+2… then upgraded my dac from the Fiio KA11 to the ifi Go Link Max. At least for me every step along this road has been met with improvements in sound tonality sound stage imaging etc. is it worth it? There’s definitely going to be diminishing returns and I think I’ve hit that point where any further improvements are not worth the cost. I’m pretty satisfied and will likely stick with these unless something breaks, but I definitely noticed significant differences as I’ve moved up the “chain”.

under $100 I'd say Artti T10, T10 pro or Letshouer S08, it rly depends on your budget, big upgrade from those are all $230+ msrp, anything cheaper is just a sidegrade to T10s and/or S08

improvement from T10, T10 Pro and S08, those three are noticeable improvement over what you got, $230-530 is next price range for better IEMs, Apevoix Grit being the cheapest one in that tier, I personally got Intuaura Splendor II, that's $260, there is Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite for $250, Letshouer S15 for $260, those are basically only ones under 300, the $250-260 ones go for $210-215 on sales, and Apevoix Grit I've seen under $190 recently not sure if it's still on sale, but that's all a lot more money than T10, T10 Pro, S08, you can get T10 for like $55, S08 if you are lucky 80 and that's a great package good cable and everything, buy one IEM and forget basically, it's not as good as $230+ stuff but it's under 100, can't find any fault with it for under 100, only Kefine Delci AE is better if you want something for gaming, otherwise S08 is amazing IEM, if I didn't have money to get $260 IEM I got I'd def rock S08, it's imo best all around IEM under $200, for $200 you can find better stuff but just $30 at that point only 15% increase then gets you a step up from there with Apevoix Grit

Adding onto this as my favourite pair for gaming was the final e4000. Great for music nice punchy bass and natural guitars but I found it amazing for gaming it had better positional sound than my artti t10s which I'm currently using since my e4000s broke.

T10 pro is slightly worse sound but significantly better build quality

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

Under 100 the TinHifi Dudu and the Artti T10 og. The T10 pro nah, is shouty and unnatural, with eq is fixable but nah, it's not an upgrade to the T10 og A honorable mention to the PRX, PR2 and Sgor Luna, especially the KZ x HBB PR2 is the best price/performance planar iem under 50 usd IMHO. The Aether is my favorite, but yeah, 170 usd msrp and an underwhelming package.

Maybe Artti T10 Pro? I really, really like the T10 but love the Pro. 

Aful Explorer, Letshuoer S08, Artti T10 Pro, Juzear Defiant. Those are my top 4 under $100.

t10 pro is very good for the price, only the stage is not wide.

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.

Not T10 Pro, that's for sure. Unless you like hissy treble lol. Maybe look at Letshuoer S08?

#Disclaimer: *As always, with each review I try to improve and better demonstrate my experience as a regular but avid and passionate user! *If you are looking for a super technical and in-depth analysis, please feel free to look for another review. There are many guys here who have much more knowledge than me and have been doing this for much longer. *This time, the unit to be reviewed was kindly delivered by Artti through Arisa in exchange for my honest opinion/review. *I will try to be as brief as possible, "straight to the point!" And as unbiased as possible. ---------------- #Gear Used: · Celest - CD-20 · EPZ - TP35 · Notebook (Windows), (MusicBee), (Tidal and Apple Music) · Penon Liqueur O and B, Dunu S&S, Sancai Wide, Whizzer ET100AB (good match), Bamboo Tips, TRN T, SoundCocoon, ddHIFI ST35 and AudioSense S400 (good match) · 4.4 bal. Cable, and High Gain as always ---------------- #Specs: Drivers Config: 14.2mm(Magnetic Planar Driver) Sensitivity: 96db Impedance: 16.5Ω Frequency Response Range: 20Hz-40kHz ---------------- #Unboxing Experience: An unboxing experience that I consider very good, very similar, if not identical, to the T10 OG. The box has the same size and shape as the non-Pro version, both outside and inside we have the same items included, Shells, cable that now differs by being modular bringing plugs in 3.5mm and 4.4mm bal. There are six pairs of good quality eartips, normal and wide bore type, totally "usable". A good quality case, good size to fit the essentials, a small dongle maybe an extra pair of eartips and the iem with the cable. Instruction manual, warranty card to be registered and a quality inspection certificate. ---------------- #Overall Build: Construction is where this set was taken to another level, and perhaps this is where the word "Pro" added to the T10 fits best. 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.

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!!!

A planar IEM + DAC (+ equalizing PEQ for your sound taste). For example, Letshuoer S08 or Artti T10 Pro + Fiio Melody or Fiio KA15 (+ PEQ soft for PC, Equalizer APO + Peace, also web site squig.link for auto EQ settings) Or hybrid IEMs for gaming: Simgot EG280, Moondrop Rays, etc

For FPS gaming, I think, it's better to take a planar IEM, like Artti T10 Pro, Letshuoer S08, Kiwi Ears Aether, etc or full-BA IEM, like KZ AM16, KZ Sonata. They are fast and detailed, you will hear everything and everyone in the game. Also you will need a DAC for planars, they like powerful sources

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

Just got the Artti t10 pro to pair with a Hiby R3 and loving them. Can swap connection between 4.4 and 3.5 quick and easy aswell depending on where I am using them so that’s a bonus .

I had the same issue with the T10s -- did you try other eartips? I got some Spinfit W1s and it made them infinitely more wearable.

Whatever you do STEP AWAY FROM MOONDROP Shit QC and honestly fallen off from grace. Get the senns and be happy with them If you're not set on these two, consider the Oddyssey or the second version, Aful P5+2, maybe the Daybreaks, or just get an Artti T10 Pro and never look back

I have the T10 Pro and the s08. You aren't missing out. The upgrade to its planar is noticeable.

To me they sound very similar. The s08 is a bit darker, more detailed and has a little more punch to the bass. It responds massively to EQ as well. But if you have the T10 Pro already it’s definitely a side-grade. 

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 :)

# 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.

Currently own PR3 from KZ, both Artti brothers the T10 and T10 pro, and then Aether. PR3 stock tuning is not great, specially if you would use it properly powered, as the treble is quite boosted, with EQ tho, probably approaching sub $100 stuff for less than half de price. T10 and T10 pro? the original all the way, i actually dont like V-shapes much, but T10, if we ignore the thin vocals, and consider how cheap it gets, it sure is a wild value option and i respect that, the Pro, for the extra price, didnt felt much better in performance overall, and tuning, at least in mine and some friends unit, was a bit odd, treble felt way too boosted, specially upper treble, sounding kinda noisy for no reason, and i am not sensitive to upper treble at all btw. Finally, the Aether does sound like a T10 upgrade and i like it, maybe fit could be a bit better, but tuning takes advantage of the driver very well, accesories arent impressive at all for what the Aether goes for, but performance and tuning for a planar is very good, energetic as T10 but with more fordward mid range (although still kinda V-shape, more of a soft V now), a total rec for people that like planar sound.

# Overview (TL/DR) The Pula Unicrom is a well done, slightly bassy, balanced V-shape, with a pretty decently punchy and rumbly bass, a bit thin but mostly correct mid-range with very lively female vocals, and a present enough treble that’s inoffensive for the most part, just a bit of sparkly on top. A solid V-shaped choice under $100usd. Its soundstage is average but with accurate imaging, solid resolution, and fine detail retrieval for its price. Separation is remarkable for a single-driver config, note weight strikes a nice balanced of enough physicality without being too intense, and replay is good on well-mixed tracks, though it can feel bland on poorly mixed music. ---------- # Quick note: From August 14th to 28th, you can get the Unicrom for just $69.99usd with a $10 early-bird coupon, Use code: 818UNICROM, valid on HiFiGo, Amazon, and AliExpress. ***Code: 818UNICROM*** ---------- \---------- **WOULD RECOMMEND:** * For people that like energetic (V-shape) kind of tunings. * For people that like lively vocals, specially female vocals. * For people that want good quality bass, that is still quite balanced. * For people looking for a comfortable IEM (The best seal out of the box I have got). * For people that like to do EQ, since it works fairly decent with it (Basshead potential with EQ applied). * For people that want decent accessories. * A good upgrade coming from Kiwi Cadenza or TKZK Ouranos, especially if you want more bass. * Similar tuning approach to Artti T10 or TRN White Tiger but a bit more bassy and with less treble sparkle, better technical performance than Tiger and very close to T10. /----------/ **WOULD NOT RECOMMEND:** * Not for people that don’t like V-shaped, too energetic, or too intense sound signatures. * Not for people that like very thick and fuller (lush) vocals. * Not for people sensitive to bass (it could sound too bassy for some). * People who are sensitive to upper mid-range (high pitched vocals), should be cautious with this set. * People that use iems at high volumes should be a bit cautious with this set. ---------- ***Full disclosure, this set WAS provided by HiFiGO, I did NOT buy it with my own money, but the opinions, as always, were given on my own accord.*** ---------- # REVIEW # INTRO With Pula entering the sub $100 IEM competition, and with a (so far) short history in the IEM market in general, their new budget model, the Unicrom, has become PULA´s gateway set for people to be introduced to the brand, and as we all know, first impressions are very important, so, how does Unicrom compares in a market with a lot of competitive sets nowadays?. Let me be honest, when I first saw the pre-release* frequency response graph of the Unicrom I was a bit skeptical, however, Pula listened to feedback given on their pre-release tuning and, for my surprise, once I tried Unicrom, I can say that they have done a tuning style that I never thought I would be willingly recommending, until now. ---------- # Fit and Drivability Out of the box, nothing seem too impressive, I mean, the unboxing experience is fairly premium (more on that later), the nozzle doesn’t seem too big and shell shape is quite generic so it should be fine, nothing seemed too impressive until I put the Unicrom on. Unicrom is the first iem ever to fit me like a glove, no slipping out, no constant adjustment, and after some tip rolling, using the stock blue colored, red core, small eartips for this review, there is a good chance Unicrom would offer a great, comfortable fit for a lot of people out there. As for what you need to drive this, arguably you can connect Unicrom to any kind of source and should work mostly fine, the only possible difference I found from my 4.4mm 150mW DAC output (Dunu DTC480) to my phone jack was that, with less power output, the bass had a tiny bit more presence, but overall presentation of the sound was just about the same. Suffice to say any basic dongle DAC like the Apple dongle, or anything with 30mW+ of power output, will do just fine for Unicrom, those get quite loud easily, despite the 101dB sensitivity and the 32 Ohms impedance. --------- # THE BIAS. Just before commenting on my experience, I need to mention a few things about me. Remember, every person listens and perceives in a different way, and those preferences and differences in perceptions are key to understand what each person specifically likes and dislikes and how that will translate into the opinions given for a review. My preference is a “neutral with bass boost” type of tuning, I don’t like too boosted treble, however, I do can handle intense upper treble quite a lot, so, what is not too bright or too “sparkly”, treble forward for me, could actually come as harsh for you, and what is bassy enough for me, could be too bassy or even muddy for you. Another relevant thing to note is that I’m a bit susceptible to iems with boosting on the upper mid-range and the lower treble are of the sound (around 4Khz-6Khz), which affects high pitched vocals, some instruments like cymbals, and part of the treble. Having boosting peaks in those areas gives the sound this overall intense and harsh energy for me, so if I personally find something that I say it could be “shouty,” or too intense in treble or vocals, please understand that I’m mostly talking about this. Last thing is that I usually don’t struggle with iems with the called “Metallic / BA / Planar” Timbre that some people can’t really enjoy, I normally don’t have problems with neither of those. ---------- # SOUND # Bass After trying a few iems that, on graph, had a quite boosted bass area and expecting a decent presence of it, just to be disappointed, Unicrom is a breath of fresh air to that trend, being boosted enough to balance the sound and also having a pretty nice, pretty punchy bass presence with just the right amount of physicality to enjoy music without getting too aggressive. The bass area is well balanced overall, but the mid-bass, where most of the punch is, does feel like slightly more boosted over the sub-bass rumble, this is more of an “allrounder” kind of bass approach that would deliver rumble or punch when the song calls for it without much problem. The sub-bass has a decent rumble quality that, along the bouncy mid-bass, gives a fairly good texture and detail to this area of the sound, and despite being fairly boosted, it maintains a mostly clean presentation, with barely any “muddy” presence into the mid-range. Overall, a good quality and quantity of bass across the board. ---------- # Mid-range (vocals) Mid-range, where vocals live, is the only part that would receive a nit-pick from my part, but to be clear, this is more of a preference issue rather than a flaw in itself, and is that the mid-range do is a bit on the thin side, with some part of the vocals feeling a bit “on the background”, however, versus other V-shape style sets, Unicrom is far from the worse offenders, since vocals don’t feel totally “in the back” just a bit reduced overall. Lower mid-range, where a lot of instruments and specially male vocals live, is the more affected part of the sound, which you might feel male vocals aren’t as full as they could be, still in terms of correctness, thanks to the controlled amount of warmness coming from the bass are, male vocals sound quite natural and also quite clean overall, well separated. In terms of upper mid-range, the part where there is more high-pitched sounds, it is on the boosted side, this means that female vocals are very lively and energetic and, while it sure come feel shouty for sensitive people, they are also quite well controlled and fairly natural. If you like this kind of presentation, I think they are from the better done ones in IEMs since even I, with my sensitivities, can enjoy it. ---------- # Treble Treble is one of those cases that is just good so there is nothing much special to mention but also not much really to critique about, is decently extended, a bit airy, sense of detail is good, texture is fine, is just well controlled in general, not really for trebleheads but also not super “tamed”, just the right amount of it for the overall sound presentation. The only potentially problematic thing to point out is that there is a tiny area of the treble that is audibly emphasized over the rest of the treble, which makes for a bit of a “splashy”, a bit sparkly presence on some specific sounds that some sensitive people could find too intense, more so depending on the music genre but for the most part it isn’t really fatiguing, still, using high volumes or, again, being sensitive, can make it more problematic If sibilance is something you are worried about, I’ll say Unicrom actually controls sibilance quite well but it would really depend on each specific song, especially if there is recorded sibilance involved, it might be a bit be a bit annoying in those kind of tracks, all in all though, it controls it just fine as most decent IEMs do. ---------- # Technical performance I recently reviewed another iem that had a similar tuning but had a hybrid driver configuration, 2 dynamic drivers plus a small planar, and this is what I mean when I say “driver quality is always more relevant than driver count”, because Unicrom, with just a single 10mm Beryllium-Plated Dynamic Driver, manages to beat the hybrid configuration, even on things that it should do better for being a hybrid. Soundstage is fine, not the most open feeling, but also not the most narrow, is the average for most IEMs, imaging is pretty accurate, on brand with most good sub $100 iems, resolution is pretty nice, realistic enough, detail retrieval is fine but maybe not the most obvious when listening to it, again, everything is as good, as crisp as it should be for the price bracket Unicrom is at. Something that did surprised me is that, despite the single driver, the separation on the Unicrom is surprisingly good, and I mean, remarkably good for both the price and for not being a hybrid IEM, plus, it does it in a bit more cohesive way that some hybrids do. Finally, stuff like note-weight, how physical the notes feel on the iem, is in the middle ground of being aggressive or being too soft, just the right amount for enjoying music. About replay, how good the IEM can convey the mixing on a song, for well mixed tracks it does very well, giving you the full experience, but it might feel a bit bland with poorly mixed tracks, not bad, but maybe lacking some “wow” factor. ---------- # Overall sound All in all, I find the Unicrom to be a well done, slightly warm, slightly bassy, balanced V-shape, with a pretty decently punchy and rumbly bass, with a clear focus on the mid-bass hit, without leaving the sub-bass rumble behind, a bit thin but mostly correct mid-range with very lively female vocals, and a present enough treble that’s inoffensive for the most part, just a bit of sparkly on top, so sensitive people should be careful. I am going to be real with you, I really hate V-shaped iems, I don’t like thin mid-range, I don’t like boosted upper mid-range (4khz to 7khz) and I don’t like too boosted treble, and in general I just don’t like how noisy yet hollow music sounds with V-shapes, so you got to imagine my surprise when I was not actively hating using the Unicrom which do check some of those boxes. Would I even buy it with my own money? Not really, but not for other reason than because is just not my style, however, if I had to use a V-shaped iem without EQ for the rest of my life I will, for sure, be picking Unicrom from all the other V-shapes I have tried, it just gets the job done, is well balanced and I can actually enjoy it in a personal level. Is it a new benchmark in the price range? Is the best iem I have hear under $100? Again, no, but what Unicrom do is, is a well-made, a well thought out set that I can actually see myself recommending to people looking for things like an upgrade or even as an allrounder / daily driver set under $100. ---------- # COMPARISONS I don’t want to make this too large, but I did promised to compare this set, something that I don’t do often, but in this case, with how so much competition is in the sub $100 price bracket, and with other similar tunned iems, I think it’s a helpful thing to do. /-----/ **- Dunu Titan S2:** Similarly comfortable fit for me, S2 has more full feeling vocals while keeping the lively feeling to them, treble is also more sparkly than Unicrom, but it has some less amount of bass so it could feel a bit brighter, Unicrom does sound a tad bit cleaner, so it does better in terms of a funny engaging sound but they are ultimately just 2 flavors of similarly performing sets, Unicrom might feel a bit more open than S2 but technical performance is pretty much the same, only separation being more obvious on Unicrom. /-----/ **- Dunu Kima 2:** Kima 2 has more treble so it feels a bit more open than Unicrom, more notably airy, but surprisingly Unicrom has the more lively vocals, Kima 2 just comes across as less energetic, more relaxed, and less bassy than Unicrom, it does have fuller, more controlled vocals so if you like that, Kima 2 is still the clear vocal winer for me, in technical performance though, they are pretty close, maybe Kima 2 is just a bit more resolutive /-----/ **- Artti T10:** This is a close one, both are similarly V-shaped, but right out of the bad, getting a good seal isn’t as easy as on Unicrom, clarity do is better on T10 given that it has more treble and is fairly smooth with it, but vocals feel more pushed to the back, bass is also less punchy on T10, it doesn't sound bad, mind you, but Unicrom does make it feel a tad weaker when compared, soundstage, similar to Kima 2, feels more open too, and in technical performance T10 has a small edge in resolution and detail retrieval, but for separation it feels like a tie. /-----/ **- Artti T10 Pro:** T10 pro has the better bass here for sure, but is not a big gap, treble is also quite more notably splashy when compared to Unicrom and even normal T10, vocals are nothing special and comfort is similarly tricky as T10, both are kind of V-shaped, but if I had to pick on to use with EQ, ill go for Unicrom, technical performance is also on the same level for both iems. /-----/ **- TRN White Tiger:** Ill be straight, Tiger almost feels like the budget version of Unicrom, despite stock being near the same, treble is more sparkly but also way less controlled than on Unicrom and it doesn’t make it that much more open on soundstage though, bass is pretty similar but it fills less punchy overall thanks to the better seal on Unicrom, mid-range is also similar as both aren’t that pushed to the back, but thanks to the smoother and crispier sound on Unicrom they feel more approachable, Unicrom is an small but almost direct upgrade from the Tiger, specially in technical performance across the board. /-----/ **- Kefine Klean:** Unicrom has a bit better resolution, but they aren’t that far off, bass quality is a bit better on Unicrom too, but because of the tuning, Klean has more presence of the bass, fuller vocals and a bit more sparkly treble, technical performance in general, specially separation, Unicrom does have a notable edge over Klean, but Is not a big upgrade from one to the another, I naturally like the tuning on Klean better though, which makes me more biased towards it. /-----/ **- Kiwi Ears Cadenza:** As of right now I don’t hand Cadenza in my hands anymore, however, for better or for worse I remember the experience of using it, Unicrom reminds me a lot of it but it does feel notably better, more technical, Unicrom has more bass so is more balanced to my ears, although if you find Cadenza any bassy, it could be too bassy for you, do I recommend it as an almost direct upgrade? Yes I do. ---------- # Accessories The box the Unicrom comes in looks fairly eye-catching but I was actually surprised on how premium it felt when opening, since after removing the cardboard sleeve, the box closes with a magnetic kind of latch, when open you can see the earpieces well-presented above its carrying case and bellow it is the rest of documentation and accessories inside 2 black boxes. - The cable is a Pula branded “high-purity silver-plated copper cable” that has a 0.78mm 2-pin IEM connection with an interchangeable plug system with both 3.5mm and 4.4mm jack connections included in the package. If you ask me this is from the best stock cables I have seen on a sub $100 iem, is lightweight, doesn’t tangle much, is flexible and feels sturdy, the screwable connection system is similar to Dunu cables but they aren’t compatible. The “screwable latch” is smooth metal so it could be a bit tricky to use at first. /-----/ - The included eartips aren’t anything special however it doesn’t mean they are bad, Unicrom comes with 2 sets of eartips, the clear ones seem to be a bit more of a wide bore, while the dark blue ones seem to be a narrow bore, both came in S, M and L sizes and both felt quite comfortable in the ear, they are very usable, which despite it being an obvious thing to say, not all budget iems come with as decent as those. /-----/ - Finally, in the box comes a dark green solid carrying case that also use a magnetic latch to close, it is compact, it feels sturdy, and despite the size, feels spacious enough for perfectly carrying your iems plus anything else you would need, even a larger dongle DAC like Dawn Pro or DTC480 (yes, I managed to fit them too). /-----/ Unicrom doesn’t come with too much inside the box, but it does come with jut all you need to use them to the best of their capabilities, these accessories are well paired with this set and is nice to see it when a lot of other sets, even more expensive ones, feels like they get handicapped by the accessories. ---------- ---------- #Conclusions I might sound a bit too optimistic throughout the review when talking about Unicrom, but is very refreshing to test an iem that, despite not being my preference, it really feels like the brand knew exactly what they were doing when producing them, everything just makes sense for the most part I can realistically see what kind of public would want to get one. If you want an energetic, clean, and funny sound, if you want comfort, if you are upgrading from the Kiwi Cadenza or the TKZK Ouranos and felt like wanted a bit more bass, if you feel other V-shapes are too sparkly, if you just want a well-rounded, energetic set, Unicrom is your pick under $100, simple as that, and I can stand behind it. ---------- ***Thanks a lot for reading, the Budget Knight bids farewell, wishing you the best, good luck. – O.E.***

I prefer IEMs just because I find them more comfortable over a longer period of time and they isolate better which means I don't need to crank the volume as loud to overpower the PC fan and any noises outside the house don't get through. Sound isolation is a pretty underrated part of it IMO, you don't want to be hearing something distracting while in a highly tense 1v1 situation. For the specific IEMs I use, I just use the Artti t10 pro with an EQ profile using the qudelix 5k, the qudelix having on-board 20 band EQ lets me use it on my PC PS5 and phones without needing to worry about managing a bunch of different EQ software for each device. When I swap over to a casual game or want to just listen to music I just open the app on my phone and pick a different EQ profile. It's honestly an incredible little device, I was worried about it not living up to the hype but I've found it game changing from a convenience perspective.

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. 😵‍💫

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

I have the same headphones and i used to, (with questionable success), EQ them a bunch too! Sometimes, i still use them as the dark, bassy gaming headphones they are, which they are quite good for! Definitely an enjoyable sound with good separation of layers for both music and gaming I've never used the hexas, but if i remember right, i've read that they basically have no soundstage at all (they sound only like left and right, no forwards or backwards). Your troubles could indeed be specific to those iems. Your ears also simply may not like how the hexas sound! To me, the most natural sound from an iem is a mild V-shape from a decently cool iem (non very budget iems), like what you get from the Simgot EW300, or the Artti T10 Pro's (but the T10 pros are cooler because planar bass and fast bass decay!). They both have impactful and full sounding bass, while maintaining clarity in everything else! Treble is also clean and present while being calm enough to still be natural to my ears. Personally, i like the slight dip in the mids because it (again) just sounds more natural to me than when i EQ them to other neutral iems. It also helps with the effect of separating all the sounds (but i hate more intense V-shapes). For soundstage, they also sound (natural and are) good enough that i will easily choose them over my blackshark v2x for gaming even.

Got the ARTTI T10 pro for cheap and I love their laid back, yet detailed sound.

I paid 60 for the pros because I wanted to play it safe with the treble.. but how the heck does one get such an Aliexpress price? I want these too lol.

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.

IEMs I love in the $20 range: Wan'er Jade 2, AGA Sound Aga 1, Wyvern Black Re-imagined; Simgot EW100 $50-$75- In Awaken Dawn MS, Artti 10, Simgot EW300, EPZ Q Pro, TRN Shark $75-$110ish- Meyer-Audio Sliiva SLA3s, BGVP Feather (my favorite IEM without respect to price), Siivga Que UTG, Azla Horizon 2. $150-$300ish Meyer Audio CKLV D62; Letshouer Cadenza 4; ivpQ Conch V12 New IEMs I like a lot: KZ Duet (weird but sound great) Photon Pro 2 (weird but sound great), EarAcoustic STA-PRO, and **LETSHUOER D02**, maybe the most comfortable IEM I've ever put [in.my](http://in.my) ears.

I think I'd recommend the Aful Explorer, Juzear Defiant, Artti T10 Pro (not the non pro) or Letshouer S08. Defiant might be too bright for metal, but it does depend on your tolerance/preference on the upper end. I'd go with the T10 Pro or S08 personally for mostly metal listening, though still good with other genres.

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 love my T10 pro over the regular. How is S08 compared to T10 pro btw??? I've heard good things

I use mostly the titanium nozzle. Simgot IEMs, from my eperience, are shallow-fitting as far as my anatomy is concerned, and always required tip rolling. The nozzles being shorter do not help. But I also enjoy the tuning, and if I want a darker, warmer, smoother planar I have an Artti T10 Pro that fits the bill. I'm not that treble sensitive, and don't mind a spicy tuning, provided it is balanced.

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 was torn between the Explorer and the Artti T10 pro as both iems kinda graph similarly. But I grabbed the Pros just because I don't like that word Aful on the faceplate. Lol. Also the T10 Pros can be equed to your liking and comes with better accessories and metal build.

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.

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!!

Mine is the Hidizs mp145. I love it! Artti T10 pros are great as well!!! Those were my 3rd and 4th iems I bought
