ARTTI - T10 Pro

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

>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

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

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

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

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.

#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!!!

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

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.

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. 😵‍💫

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

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 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.

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!!
