TinHiFi - T2

I got the Daybreak on a discount for a total of $114.82! That probably made its performance/dollar value almost unbeatable... I like the Daybreak a lot. It sounds 'right' mostly to me (I guess that's tonality?). Not too much bass, no bloat, separation is there, detailed, no obvious harshness/peakiness to my ears (I'm 37, tested hearing recently and can barely hear 15 kHz top). I just wish maybe a wider and deeper soundstage for classical, opera, orchestral, big band jazz, and acoustic. I also took out my old Tin Hifi T2 original to compare. I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. To my ears, it actually has a 'larger' soundstage presentation than the Daybreak, slightly more...'holographic' perhaps? But I guess Daybreak is more cohesive and slightly 'darker’ in the background. I heard soundstage isn't really IEMs’ forte, so I ventured into the unknown world of flathead earbuds and was pleasantly surprised by the TGXEar Red Serratus performance, but it's a bit peaky to my ears at higher volumes on some tracks. But it opened a new unexplored world of flatheads. It’s like having an open-back headphone the size of IEMs. So I recently purchased (incoming) the Flathead Audio Studio. I can't wait to try that. Sorry for that digression, but my real question: What IEM set would be a clearly superior and even an endgame-worthy set from the Daybreak up to around $500? Genres: classical, jazz vocal and instrumental, opera, R&B, folk, world, light rock, and pop here and there. Xenns Top Pro? Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk? Tangzu XuanWu Gate? Hisenior Mega5-EST? Something else entirely I don't know about? Thanks all!

Every so often, ill put in my Tinaudio T2s, and be blown away. Then i'll move my head the wrong way and the stupid fucking MMCX connector will short out

That iem is extremely bright. Bought it 4 years ago and returned it https://preview.redd.it/ryxhwuv171xf1.png?width=1147&format=png&auto=webp&s=0df03853584a85bdc402e794b88173c201690128

I've been singing praises of the Tin HiFi T2 for years. I had other IEMs over the years but I still go back to the T2. I just purchased the CVJ Aria and Vivian, so I don't know how well I will like them. I also have the Moondrop Chu 2, which I like a lot (a little tinny sounding to my ears, but they are currently on loan to a family member. Although the price to performance is great. I will suggest watching reviews on them, but take what they say with a grain of salt. Everyone has different ears and what may be good to me, may not sound good to you. Prices Amazon: Tin HiFi T2 - $50 Moondrop Chu 2- $20 CVJ Aria - $80 CVJ Vivian - N/A AliExpress: Tin HiFi T2 - N/A (The T2 DLC is there though) Moondrop Chu 2 - $30 CVJ Aria - $80 (got mine for 75) CVJ VIVIAN - $23

I have been using the tin hifi T2 for years now and I love how the samurai champloo sound track sound with them. It’s a nice warm tone and the bass is smooth. If anything get the T2 DLC, it’s supposedly better than the OG T2.

back when I used to use iem, I used kz zsn pro and tinhifi t2. they're both good enough for valorant. I still use tinhifi t2 from time to time. kz zsn pro, I gave it away to my auntie who needed an earphone before.

I'm using this one first folder on my tin hifi t2 with ikko itm01 zerda dac+usb amp dongle

so far, I'm hearing details on my tinhifi t2 despite it being old and not that boomy bass.

During the first year after modding my iPod, I used a Kokkia transmitter with my Bluetooth headphones, but later I decided to give the TinHiFi T2 IEMs a try, and now I definitely wouldn’t go back

My Tin T2s worked great when I used them for a while, like baby SHP9500s

Just looking at the listing, you can absolutely find something comparable on AliExpress for much less (perhaps depending on where tariffs are idk). Products like these almost always have clones, or straight up the same product available from the manufacturer. A lot of this price is surely mired in the big ass case, the accessories, the branding. I use my Tin T2 IEMs, which I got open box for around $40, and they're kinda good for everything. I've used them for gaming, media, and obviously music/playing along to music. They're a great pair of IEMs in general, and I find their size and their in-house foam tips to be really great for actually staying in my ear when drumming. Larger housings like the Drumeo ones have seem to not work as well for me.

Does anyone list to jazz? If so what would you recommend for under $100 or $50? I had the tin t2s for a while and those are what got me into jazz but then I moved onto some wireless earbuds and they weren't great for jazz, or anything else really so I'm looking to move back to wired. I listen to hiphop, pop and other genres too but jazz, hiphop and pop would be the main 3.

Tin T2 and nope they broke, use to be what reddit swore by :)

TinT2 still have them, my current favorite iem that I have is the S12pro
