Tin Audio T2 Super Review 

I'm becoming a big fan of Tin. I think they rebranded to Tin Hifi.

How you liking them?

Super* Review hello there. I love it. Its the first iem that i’ve tried so i dont really have anything to compare it to. But what you’ve said is what i got. I’ve been listening to music any chance i get. Will try the comply eartips in the future and just kinda experiment a bit. Cheers bro. 👍👍 I wish they sold smaller stock eartips and the cord from tin t3’s separately.

Super* Review i also bumped the bass by just a tiny bit in eq. I have yet to try the narrow silicon eartips since i love the stock ones.

@@omura00 You can get a cord similar, if on Amazon look for "yinyoo mmcx."

RIP

Seems like there are a lot of options for really good budget IEMs. These are especially good if you like forward mids.

T2 Plus is quite different, but also good IMO.

can you remove the blue/red L/R indicator of them?

Boom!

Congrats on that price 👌 I've been listening to a number of IEMs lately, the T2s are the ones I leave out 'cause I always go back to them.

Really? For only 20 bucks? Can you link the seller

Was a sale - won't be that price anymore. Just keep an eye out on AliExpress :)

Ted The Beat go to AliExpress now...sale is on...its preorder sale

Ordered yesterday 23€

Otherwise I'd have to resort to a blow torch.

I know what you mean. Like those objects that are sealed in extremely hard plastic

Let me know if you like 'em 👍

Got some more buds reviews incoming, stay tuned ✌

Where do you see him? This guy hoping in the Tin Audio T2's hype waggon?

@@mervinho666 Oh shit, a rare sighting of an audiophipster! P.S. I'm anti hipster shaming, just seemed an opportunity to make a bad contraction pun.

I would get LAN personally, but T2 is not bad.

@@SuperReview Thank you, gonna get that LAN tomorrow 👍

The Tin T2s by far, IMO. The 150Pro has a nice smoothness to it, and it has a bigger soundstage, but IMO the T2 is just a lot more engaging to listen to. The T2 also runs off of portable devices better -- the 150Pro requires a bit more power.

I'm with you.

Using fiio x1 these are amazing, my UE triplefi10 finally died after 6yrs of use lol

Arif Rizky dapet dimana bro

Got them today. Initial impressions: - Very pleasant neutral signature, I prefer the signature on these over the BLON-03s which are a bit bloaty on the bass. - Average technicalities at best which is to be expected with cheapos though I think imaging could have been a bit better. - Good stock cable though Linsoul has made some revisions to it: The one I got is very similar to the one shown but has memory wire which is a minus in my book - Way lighter than I originally expected the shells to be - Slightly harder to drive than other IEMs I have on hand though these can still be used with a Phone. The T2s are a very easy rec unless you want a beefy bass signature or something, it's a very good starting point for testing out Neutral sounding IEMs before you move on to the big boys.

70000 xD there is literally no information there, not that you can even hear it .

No, other then the T2s, the only other quality option is some of the KZ IEMs but those are more for the sub $25 price range. For $35, nothing can come even remotely close to the fantastic sound of the T2s

@@soniclegend44 Thoughts on how to increase the bass?

@@blakebauman6374 I'd try out of the included foam ear inserts to see which one you like the best, there all pretty good. For bass, I'm not sure there is much that could be done, they are remarkably neutral sounding. You could always increase the EQ for bass, giving a more bassy sound that way. Guide on how to change EQ on windows: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3SjsYygrs_k.html

@@soniclegend44 Thanks.

These T2s still good IMO.

Does it have dynamic driver with balanced armature? How many drivers does it have?

T2 is dual dynamic drivers, no BAs.

The supplied foams are good, but I also like these with the supplied silicones. Spin Fits are nice if you have fit issues but don't change the sound drastically. It's all minor tuning with ear tips, depending on your preferences.

I like them for everything, yes.

thank you , i will share my thought here after it arrived

@@tonedeafprd hey. I would like to hear your experience. I am also into similar instruments. How is the high end on this?

@@shameer343 hello, after 1 years using this, my opinion are sound staging is wide and clear, low end is enough for me, high end was perfect,

@@tonedeafprd how will you say it sounds different from cheaper in ear earphones. Not IEMS is it like really big difference which you dont even have to look for to perceive?

Edwin Chan Tin T2, no question. I don’t mind wired headphones most of the time, and the sound quality difference is worth it for me.

Just search for an MMCX cable w/ microphone -- you can connect it to the T2s if you want the same earphone with a mic.

Whichever work well for you 👍

From another channel they said the silicone eartips give better bass.

Just look for MMCX cable with mic

@@SuperReviewawesome! That you for that insanely quick response aswell!! :)

Occasionally, I personally use my T2 Pro more. Some people prefer T2 standard.

For people just getting into audio, the most likely limit in your chain is almost always the music. Amazon Music streaming is sufficient, I wouldn't worry about the file format or anything -- just the original recording and mastering. If you have good masterings and good headphones, you've solved about 90% of good audio.

Lucky!

Where?

@@someshrathi9268 Aliexpress

@@ZerkerTF Ordered myself one! Thank you.

T2 Pro is different tuning, not necessarily better. It's a brighter sound, more treble, gives the sound a stronger sense of air and puts vocals more forward. But it's less neutral, and I think T2 Pro sounds better with aftermarket tips. Frankly I stopped recommending T2 Pro because they seem to have changed the manufacturing and ruined it. The Shanling should be great with the T2. You can probably use low gain or high gain with the T2 -- generally, low gain is good for sensitive IEMs that might pick up amp hiss, and high gain is for headphones that require more power. The T2 is in the middle -- it's not so sensitive it'll pick up hiss, and it doesn't require a lot of power to benefit from high gain. I'd probably leave it in low gain unless you need more volume. Bluetooth is a different beast. AAC generally sounds better than SBC. SBC is the lowest quality Bluetooth audio codec.

Super* Review Hi man, I recently received both of my orders and after some tweaking and tinkering the audio sounds phenomenal to me. However, I’m just concerned about the volume, since I’m currently using it as a Bluetooth device. I set my IPhone 7 volume to max and Shanling q1’s volume to 50. Is this too loud, what is the minimum and maximum about of volume I should set up when listening to headphones and earphones on Hi-res players to avoid hearing problems? And I also noticed that Shanling Q1 has very few eq presents such as Pop or Metal, do you have any chart which I can refer to create new eq’s for different genres of music. Thanks in advance!

VERY different sound signatures from those two. I like T2 much better, but I like mids more than bass -- and the V80 dips the mids to give big bass.

t2 non pro is better than pro btw, the pro's highs are a little bit more than I think most people want.

@@deimosphob Depends on preferences, T2 Pro is my favorite IEM.

@@SuperReview Yeah, that's why I said I think the highs are more than what most people want. They're both great, but I'm more treble sensitive and that's how most of my friends are too.

🤔

🤞

U do great reviews looking forward to a Sound magic e11c review from u

And can suggest me a MMCX cables for this one.. heard the cables r kinda weak

Anything Yinyoo is pretty good.

@@SuperReview thanks man... Glad to have help .. much appreciated

Do you wear them over-ear, or hanging down? I don't imagine a change would change comfort. Maybe trying smaller ear tips could.

@@SuperReview Sorry for the late response, yes changing from hanging down to over-eat helps a ton. I was just complaining becoz i was too lazy to use the over-ear method. its like when im in a meeting and i want everything to be fast, i just use the hang down method, but after an hour of using, my ears start to sore. Hmm.. im currently using the memory foam, its quite fitting and i think work better than any of the other tips.

I wear them all day. These don't fit as deep as some IEMs. I think that makes it a little harder to get them to fit super secure, but it also makes them more comfortable than some other IEMs IMO.

@@SuperReview Thanks you sir for the fast reply sir. I'm thinking to buy them for 27$ from AliExpress.

@@KartikyanDogra That's a pretty good price 👌 I think I paid $40 for them.

@@SuperReview yes 😊.. thank you for such a super*review.

@@KartikyanDogra Wow. That's super cheap. Can you post a link please to that price? I'm gonna order these over ZS10 if I can grab these at this price. Keep me posted!

Which one you get?

@@SuperReview nw a55

@@SuperReview Sony NW-A55

Maybe check out the Tin Hifi T3, they've just come out and they come with a cable with pre-formed hooks.

You can buy attachable earhooks for dirt cheap.

Extension cable should work as long as there are no problems with the cable. Avoid running it over any other electrical wiring.

I don't personally pay attention to burn-in claims.

@@SuperReview thanks for input

Not exactly the same tuning, no. But if you like this sound, you'll probably like Blessing 2 / 3.

Yes, they're MMCX so should work w/ any Bluetooth MMCX cable. I've tried a few Bluetooth cables and they're not bad, but haven't loved them -- I've stuck with a standard cable.

@@SuperReview hey, thanks for replying! :)

It's about average for an IEM -- not great, but not bad at all.

@@SuperReview great then, planning to use this for commuting so I can leave my headphone for home usage instead of risking broke it while I'm on the go.

I don't like it.

@@SuperReview ok I won it in giveaway so I have to use it 🙈🙈 no option

Ha ha, well let me know what you think of it then.

@@SuperReview I will get it in October first week, so I definately use it when watching movies or video, and for music I have cca c12 and I like that to hear music, and so much hear about Tripowin x HBB Mele Try to review it many said it's batter than moondrop starfild in 50$

400 or 500 will fit the T2

@@SuperReview thanks!

Yeah they'll run well off of pretty much any phone.

@@SuperReview thanks for the reply man, I saw other videos of yours and decided to go with the KZ ZS10 pro for now, I'll get these next, very soon! Subscribed

AP80 looks promising but I haven't used it. Might be able to find Sony A35 or A45 cheap now.

I purchased Sony Nwa55 plus these iems .. hope they r great

I like getting a nicer cable just because it looks and feels nice, but don't expect any changes to sound or anything.

Super* Review ahhh ok. Thank you

Super* Review is the one I mention a good one ?

I think I have a Kinboofi cable that's nice.

Super* Review thank you. I’ll get this one then.

Probably. TBH, I don't do any music mixing. But seems to me all sorts of sound signatures are used as reference in mastering. I think this will do a good job of exposing issues in treble / vocals, and have enough bass to feel it.

Under $100, Tin T2 is a good option, even cheaper is Final E1000. Above, consider Etymotic ER2.

I haven't heard them.

The nozzles are pretty standard, ~5.5mm I think.

@@SuperReview Thanks alot! ⭐

I wish I had a budget for that 😝

Noise isolation on these is a bit below average.

@@SuperReview so probably not a good choice for djing or am I just gonna have to crank them a bit?

@@johng6387 Good question honestly, I haven't DJ'd before. I bet they isolate better than a pair of on-ear headphones.

@@SuperReview well I guess for $50 I'll pick a set up and reply back with results! Worst case I use the for mastering in studio. It's hard to mix down on non neutral reproductions!

@@johng6387 If you get it, report back, I'm curious.

YUP. In fact I just used them again recently and was surprised how good they still are.

@@SuperReview That was great! Thanks dude :) btw did you replace the cables or just using the included cable? Thanks and more power to your channel.

@@SuperReview One last thing, This or the KZ ZSN? Thanks and more power!

I have a replacement cable, the stock cable kinda turned green. I've heard they've improved the stock cable since. And I would take this any day over the ZSN.

@@SuperReview Thanks dude your Awesome ;)

Yes.

@@SuperReview That's awesome :)

@@fckinnonstick9919 how did it work?

Yeah not bad at all. I would take Moondrop SSR over it though.

I personally prefer them to the AS10 and ZS10, but I'm sure some people prefer the KZs. Both KZs are bassier, the AS10 is a warmer sound, ZS10 is pretty forward, both are quite punchy. T2 is a bit more neutral and airy.

@@SuperReview thanks!

Tin T2 is my favorite of those. The Blon is maybe next, then Final.

@@SuperReview sir thank you very much

Hi sir.,,, My order t2 is in my hand already but the sound of this tinhifi T2, is I don't like it.,, Much better to me my headphone Philips shp 9500 the sound of this headphone iis very clear, crisp and superb (detailed) of instrument. Sir I asking you in your personal preference what kind of earphone or iem the same sound of my shp 9500?,,, Thanks.,,,

Yeah why not?

I like Yinyoo's cables. But no, don't expect a change in the sound unless your current cable has a problem.

Copper cable softens the treble noticeably.

@@hellobooom Cooper cable?

I generally don't keep boxes unless I plan to resell something 🤷‍♀️

Fair enough. I don't keep every single box either, but this one was so sturdy and nice it was immediately in my 'keep' category.

Maybe someone else can help, I don't play Pubg.

ZS10 has stronger bass than the T2. It's not massive bass, but it's pretty good 👍 Similar to Trn V80, which I'm reviewing next.

Thanq so much.

I've never owned any, but the metal cussing is a huge plus for me:)

They're more than decent! Just note the sound signature I described -- I really like it, but if you're huge into bass you might find these lacking. (FWIW, I think the bass is really nice, just not emphasized.)

dont buy these, youll regret, i got mine and now sending it back. theyre not comfortable,

@@miffachan123 what did u end up getting instead?

Interesting, they're so smooth to me.

Not necessarily, ZS10 has bright treble.

I haven't tried the RHA. Both the Tin T2 and the Koss KSC75 are awesome -- the KSC75 is especially exceptional. And IMO yes, much better than ES4, but will depend on your tastes I guess.

@@SuperReview i want good audio clairty and Good bass (betterthan es4) ..

I haven't heard any Soundmagic 😔

@@SuperReview Oh, alright. Thanks anyway

Good question, I really like both headphones. The Koss have much bigger soundstage and generally are a brighter headphone than the T2. T2 is neutral-bright. KSC75 is one of the best sounding headphones I've heard honestly. Obviously the form factor is different.

Thanks, how much do you think a pair of ksc75 (threatened well) will last if I bring them out and walk kilometers and kilometers with them on?

@@mattialemboluscari8774 Could last years honestly. My pair never gave me problems (but they're currently dismantled, trying to mod them). But to be frank, I don't think I've ever had a headphone cable go bad, probably depends on how rough you are with them. Just take care to not overly strain the cable ends. When wrapping up, don't pull tight on the speaker connection or terminal connection.

NW-A45

Pebble 2

I haven't heard the CCA.

I have a Yinyoo cable on mine right now.

Different sound signatures, some people will prefer the ZS10 Pro but IMO the Tin T2 wins easy. ZS10 Pro more a traditional balanced sound with pretty big bass, Tin T2 is less bass but overall a more neutral sound with much much better treble.

T2 is still surprisingly good. Here are my 2021 rankings: squig.link/list/

@@SuperReview thanks!

Sony A45.

You'll be able to replace the cable if needed -- I'd be surprised if the buds ever failed on you, unless you dropped them in water or something.

Depends on your preferences, but IMO yes.

Yes, MMCX cables

Yep, any MMCX cable will do. I have a Yinyoo cable I like.

Super* Review which Yinyoo did you get? Would these work with a balanced mmcx cable? I’m assuming yes, as long as it has the mmcx connectors? Thanks in advance.

@@erock81487 This is the Yinyoo cable I have: amzn.to/2CsMXkW And yeah, the buds will work with a balanced cable if you have one. So far, none of my sources have balanced out.

@@SuperReview got a question , the cable is not plugged when new , how to tell which is left or right ?

Yes, insofar as I can say anything about "all" of anything.

thanks I now realised there are 2 types one with 2 pin and the short stumpy round connector the latter is the t2 I think. Also put in search on amazon for t2 cable and one of them matched with the Shure 452 which the cable I like said it was for. @@SuperReview

For what it's worth, this is the cable I use on my T2 Pro: amzn.to/2CO1rf4

thanks@@SuperReview

Yeah I've tried them with the Blu Tack mod, definitely more bass, but I prefer them without the mod. I don't need a lot of bass.

I've tried it, it works. I'm personally happy with the stock bass.

Do you think it would satisfy a basshead with that mod? I heard the Tin T2s have really good sound detail, and if that mod adds enough bass it should be pretty awesome earphones.

I think so, the difference is pretty massive. That said, I don't think the bass slaps as hard as something like the KZ AS10. I prefer the T2s unmodded personally.

I appreciate the useful reply bud, good info thx👍

The Tin Audio T2(modded) vs KZ AS10 discussion is an interesting one. While the T2 has better detail, someone said that covering the front vent can be fatiguing to the ear and a little dangerous in the long run? So hm idk. Sounds scary lol

Yeah, I've seen that on AliExpress I think.

I enjoy listening to those genres on them, yes.

Thank you!

Maybe Etymotic ER2SE, XR if you want more bass.

@@SuperReview Thanks for the intro! Turns out ety sound is exactly what I'm looking for. I got myself a pair of 2nd hand er3se and I loved it. The fit isn't as daunting as it seemed to be, it is quite comfortable tbh. Taking them out is when they hurt the most. The flanges scrape on my ear canal on its way out. Now I just need to find good eartips and I'm done! Probably small klipsch ovals or shure olives will my choice.

Blon bl03

@@Xzvsc when he said soft on the bass it automatically puts the blons out of the recommendation.

Easy for me, T2 all the way. I prefer the more forward mids, and I think the T2 is more comfortable to wear. Also the KZ cable kinda drives me nuts.

@@SuperReview Thanks for the comment ! also they are more cheaper than the AS10. Then im going to buy a pair of T2s

The one thing the AS10 does bigger is bass. But I'm not much of a basshead.

@@SuperReview Yes i've heard about that. Im not looking for a basscanon or something. Just decent ,clear sound nice seperation and very well mids. So this must be the T2 Right?

Sounds like the T2 👍

Yeah, these are fairly neutral -- a bit of treble emphasis over neutral.

Hm, not sure, mine doesn't have a microphone.

@@SuperReview well it's advertised as such on Ali Express and what about the holes on each side of the headphones?

@@user-eo6yj7xh6c Naw, the holes on the earphones are not microphones. You could probably buy an aftermarket cable with a microphone on the cable.

@@SuperReview oh ok. That's cool, better than having a non working mic I guess :D

@@user-eo6yj7xh6c the holes on the outside are reflex vents. The system is coaxial meaning one speaker goes through the inside of the magnet on the second inside the IEM which requires vent holes to relieve sure pressure inside the IEM otherwise the 2 drivers fight one another.

Koss KSC75

@@SuperReview thanks but what about IEM under 100$ with accurate imaging and widest sound stage?

Probably TFZ No.3.

No, not hi-res certified. (I don't know that it means much.)
