Another great content, C2 looks an interesting IEM, among the 3 IEM you discuss which one hits your frequency target, and have a great, wonderful, blessed, positive, productive and safe week
C2 is a special IEM but it is not for everyone. It's resolving ability matches Iem's twice its price or more but it's timbre is sharp and it hurts the ears after some time of listening. My favorite curve of the iems is kiwi ears cadenza. In my opinion it is better than C3, maybe even T3plus. Thank you sir. Same to you! May your week be blessed🙏
I have the Cadenza, but after frustrating tip rolling of the tips provided, could not get a seal and finally found an old set of starline tips that worked well. They sound very good at the price point.
If one already owns the 7hz Zero, would the C2 be similar enough to avoid? I already have the Zero.. Would it still make sense to go for the C2? I like such bright sound signatures btw
@@tariganmergana2289 well the c2 is better midbass, but for subbass 7hz win for me. i just feel like the midbass on c2 slightly (subjectively) bleed into the lowermid make the male vocal who are tend to use more chest-voice sounds a bit thin and lean. C2 got a peak at 5khz, make the tonality become unnatural. Technicality of C2 is outperform the Zero, with better soundstage (as deep as the Zero but much wider), much better seperation. Overall i prefer Zero for more natural tonality, C2 for better technicality. For me i will choose Zero for my daily driver.
Yeah they're just looped Velcro cable ties. Some manufacturers include them but you can buy a 10 pack on Amazon for cheap. Just be sure to get the 4" or 6" version and not the Uber long ones.
Very nice comparison, thank you! Do you intent to grab Qkz x HBB to test against the others $20? It'd be great. I have the 7hz zero and Qkz x HBB and I think both complement each other, very different tuning.
Nice. Eventually I'll graph the QKZxHBB, I think it was on sale but I missed it. Right now I have C3 and the new TRN SPD/BA iem coming. (I forget the name.)
@@hi-friaudioman Not here to contest your tastes but it's funny how perception can differ between from person to person. I've had the olina se for a while, no major complaints apart from the bass that comes across a little too forward to my liking, too out of place, as if it's been added as an afterthought to run alongside the mix rather than be a part of it. Overall I like it but as a special designation iem that's great for some genres but not others. Even more interesting seeing as you rate the hexa so low. I've had that for a couple of days now and all I can say is it sounds just correct. Nothing's overcooked, nothing is hidden in the mix. Note definition is good albeit noticeably thinner than on olina se. Definitely not too thin though. On techs it would be about a tie though it seems to untangle busier tracks better than the olina. A truly special iem that one which works great on any track for me. I could imagine some wanting more excitement though.
Why am I not surprised with the C2? I don’t own it but I have S12 Pro and it’s got that hifi sound with quality bass to boot. Looks like the ‘hifi sound’ is Tin hifi’s house sound?
@@hi-friaudioman Oops I got it wrong, S12 is from Letshuoer. But I’ve demo the P1 Max and I quite like it. Now that I’ve own the C3, I do find some similarities but I feel the C3 is tuned to be more mid forward.
Hey. Yeah ill try to do timestamps more often. Sooo none of them are really "neutral" per say they're more meatural bright to mild V. Cadenza is probably the most audiophile sounding of them all. C2 is the most sterile or clinical but it is also an uncomfortable listen. Wan'er is warm, but in my opinion too bloated and it is also the least resolving. So I would probably say that cadenza is going to be your best bet. It's Ike a brighter HEXA but also much better sounding than HEXA in my opinion.
I have an OG Tin T2, but the cable is broken. should I buy the cable ($15) or buy a Tin C2 ($25) to replace the Tin T2? I mostly listen to rock and metal music btw
I bought the Cadenza and Tinhifi C3 during the sale. I wish I liked the Cadenza more than the C3; the former sounds to me like it has a metallic timbre. Wonder if it's unit variance. Granted, the C3 is $10 more than the Cadenza on Linsoul. I'll see if my opinion changes as I get used to these.
@@dksun They were not on sale actually, just released during the sale. I, however had bought the $70 voucher LEC for half price, so got two items for almost the price of a single C3.
Hi, I have lots of cables and eartips spare for iem rolling/upgrade , also sourced with good balanced amp. i am currently on Dunu Titan S all day. other iem i use now including Tin T2Plus and HZ Heart Mirror ( nozzle micropore taped to slightly reduce hi mids and treble by 20% ) im a neutral&natural kinda guy with a hint or treble or low elevation is fine. nowday i wanted slightly more mid bass and lows for my R&B, Soul, Rap and EDM library Should I get this over a little pricier Tin T3plus or/ C3? i heard that with proper cable and eartips rolling this could be on par to the 3 series Tin Hifi? i just don't want to spend a little extra dollars for now or i should save a little more and get the 3 series?
I personally prefer the cadenza over the C3. Not sure about the T3Plus as I haven't heard it, but in my opinion the C3 is not worth the price while Cadenza exists. But... if I may make a suggestion. If you're listening to R&B, RAP and EDM may I suggest the QOA Gimlet. I helped tune it and I think it would be a fantastic iem for those genres and I think it would compliment your other iems well.
Either Wan'er or Cadenza. Candenza is better buy it might be a little bright. I know a lot of j-pop is recorded bright so wan'er might be more appealing.
Got them all, The QKZ HBB wins in every aspect. Pair the QKZ with Azla short light tips and a graphene cable and you’ve got yourself a tasty set with not at all bad detail retrieval
As a cyclist I would say, if you value your life, DON'T CYCLE WITH IEMs! If you have a death-wish, why stop at IEMs? Why not blindfold yourself as well?
