TinHiFi - T2 Plus

Final Audio A4000 — tuning that favors clarity and a fairly transparent presentation for the price; a good option if you want to capture micro-details without spending a lot. • Moondrop Aria / Starfield (Starfield family) — very good in terms of resolution and separation; the Aria is especially good as an analytical "entry-level" model due to its balance and resolution for ~$80–120. The Starfield offers good soundstage and timbre within its range. • TINHiFi T2 Plus — surprisingly detailed and well-separated at a very low price; if you're on a tight budget, it delivers a lot of "micro-resolution" for little money.

EQ settings are relative to frequency response. It's like asking how much should I add salt to fries without the information if they're already saltes. The question is what kind of a tuning is ideal for metal and as a metalhead at least in my youth I find that a very interesting question. Preferences matter a lot as well and someone who loves the sound of one IEM maybe just hasn't heard something better yet and can't imagine what the improvement might be. The best tuning for metal I've heard so far with maybe fifty IEMs and some EQ on top was Oluv's mainstream preset for the Free Pro 2's. Really fun yet clean bass and you could push the volume really high without any fatigue etc. Gave me chills with a lot of metal music. With IEMs I have to say I haven't found anything excellent yet and actually KZ Libra (balanced) is easily on of the best for that and costs $10. The bass is pronounced, but much cleaner than the measurements seem to imply. The straight rising bass boost might be the reason instead of a bass shelf. Old but gold would be a Tin Hifi T2 Plus as it really pushes vocals pleasantly forward and has that big energetic feel to it. Not detailed etc at all, but really enjoyable. IEMs I love otherwise like Zero Red, Hexa, MP145, Timeless, B2 Dusk, Dusk DSP just don't impress me at all with metal specifically and I would take the Libra over probably all of them for that. You can make an EQ preset for the Chu to match KZ Libra on the AutoEQ website and elsewhere. Give it a try if you want.

I tried KZ AS10 and DQ6, Blon BL-Mini and A8 Prometheus, Moondrop Kato, B2, B2 Dusk and S8, Softears Studio 4 and TinHiFi T2 Plus. Tin were trash. KZ AS10 was okayish but not really. DQ6 super comfortable, lightweight decent SQ for the price and comfort but nothing crazy. From Kato to B2/Dusk there's a significant step up in SQ. From B2/Dusk to S8 there's an improvement but it's not something crazy. The Blons sound OK, BL-Mini is quite decent in terms of price to performance, A8 are overpriced in terms of SQ but they look amazing. Both are lower in SQ than the Kato. Studio 4 sounds amazing to me, it's a more mid centric sound signature. The S8 has a more spacious sound and has more perceived space between instruments but the S4 is just godly in terms of it's timbre, everything's sounds just right, notes are weighty of I had to describe it somehow, and vocals are on another level altogether. I'll soon hear the RSV MKI. Thus far from this lineup I'd say diminishing returns start at the Blessings, now... The S4 I think is a justifiable step up, the S8 if you have the disposable income yeah, otherwise you spend more and you get more but not that much more. The S4 is cheaper than the S8 and I'd surely recommend the former. I guess it boils down to how much you are willing to spend. There is an improvement in SQ but it's definitely not a linear function, it's evidently logarithmic, just like horsepower in cars. I'm sure though there's plenty of snake oil sets out there. I'm sure if you bought the Hexa or the Nova and compare them with the Kato the latter would feel like a scam. That being said SQ is not the only factor, I have the Blons almost exclusively for how they look. I've met people that were like meh they all sound the same. I think I trust myself as I found the S8 underwhelming compared to the cheaper S4, and I really wanted to like the S8 as they look gorgeous, but I truly believe the S4 are the better pair. And bro, damn... those TinHiFi T2 Plus, 60 bucks? I wouldn't take them for free... Everything sounds like an out of tune banjo with only two strings left played by a crackhead that lost half his fingers.

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

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
