I'm glad that looking into your IEM rankings, 7th Acoustics is making a name on itself. Happy New Year Timmy, can't wait for what's installed for you in 2023!
Super review just rated C2 as 5* and the best budget iem. This should be a reminder of just how subjective music and iems are. My take on it is most of these iems are darn good and you'll be happy with most of them. Secondly the music is most important and the source should just be a tool and not get in the way.
C3 are one of my current favourites under $50. I actually didn't like the treble on the Cadenza and thought it didn't sound right for some reason compared to the C3.
thanks for the great info, saves me alot of money with honest reviews pulling no punches. Really like that graphs are explained and issues highlighted via them, helping me to also interpret graphs elsewhere. Keep it up and have a happy New Year.
I haven’t tried any of the new Tin IEM’s. Latest was the T3+. It’s pretty good but I find myself reaching for others more. I loved the T4 but I haven’t listened to them in a while. Mostly because I’ve purchased better since I’ve had them. I definitely don’t need any more IEM’s at this point. I might have a problem.
The C2 won MSR's Koncha Kombat and I almost impulse-bought the Mech Warrior - he found the Wan'er SG to be pretty meh, whereas when I bought it as per your recommendation, I absolutely adored testing it before giving it to my girlfriend. I guess you and Crin have the same preferences as I do, so I'm really excited for the Galileo. 😉
Thank you! I know Mark's preference leans on the brighter frequencies so it makes perfect sense he likes the C2 more. The Wan'er is probably too thick and relaxed.
Hey i cant buy both. To test them out and i have chu i like it no probs with trebel but i feel that nore bass would be good and i liaten jpop anime tracks and all so should i get wanker or c2
Yup, not a good idea to buy based off of one reviewer, unless that reviewer shares your same preferences. You need to know what you want. My preference seems to be similar to Timmy's as well. Under 50, the Cadenza and Wan'er are my favorite.
I wish I knew reviewers that liked metal so I could get an exact feel for some of these iems because my god it's hard I guess soundstage and imaging is important to gaming as well
In this video it became pretty clear to me that my preferences don't really match yours at all, and lie much closer to those of Mark from Super* Review. I personally LOVE the C2 and T2 DLC so I found it surprising to see a lot of other reviewers dislike it. That being said, I still love your videos and agree with most of your overall takes. So will keep watching your videos for sure! Oh and Happy new Year in advance Timmy and everyone!
Hey what kind of songs do you listen i wanna. Buy c2 but am confused in wanker and this c2 built is better how is the bass response on this ? And i liaten jpop and lofi
If you want a smooth neutral yet subtly bright and non sub bassy mix, go for Salnotes. If you want similar mix but with a little more exciting low-end for your type of music then Wan-er. C3 might work for pop music only because of the somewhat strange tuning it delivers.
I carry my $200 iem in a hard case, but when he let me try to the Viento B and SA6 Ultra, he handed me it with ziplock! The manufacturer should provide an IEM carry bag for him.
How does the C2 compare to the Hexa? I have the C2 and it does sound harsh without EQ. Is the Hexa a worthy upgrade over the C2, especially in soundstage?
I had a majoy problem of IEM, they can not sound the same as headphone, I have to use finger push IEM really into my ear to get the fullness of sound (all the low end), once I release my push, the sound become flat & thine again. (I using the T2) Am I wear the T2 In the wrong way?
They are as good as aria and T3 plus, They are a steal at this price. I have T3 plus, I like c2 better because that little bit more treble and air, driver sounds just as good quality as well, the budget sector is improving so fast that £/$30 iem now sounding as good as £/$80 from 1-2 years ago.
hi timmy!! i seem to have pretty similar music taste and preferences as you, so i wanted to ask what your personal favorite iem is around or under 100 usd
@@Gizaudio What about the Hexa and Zero Truthears that rank higher on your list and cost less than $100? In this case, shouldn't Wan'er be better positioned, as it's your preference under $100?
@@Gizaudio You spoke pretty highly of the T3+ in your review though, especially when comparing it to the Aria. Has your opinion on the T3+ changed since then?
I haven't tested the Wan'er but could say that in a great sense this talk comes down a lot to a matter of your own personal taste, pretty much that. I own the T3+, the Aria, the Chu, the 7hz Zero and a number of others. When I want a cleaner and more detailed, polished sound, I grab something like the 7hz Zero. But among the ones cited above, the Tin T3+ is still my favorite. I think it matches my library really well and I just appreciate its signature very much. So there's this subject aspect of the hobby, which does not exclude the objective aspect, but it is also very important. Some like vanilla and others strawberry, and it is a great thing to have different flavors for all tastes, in spite of what one might objectively judge as being better or worse.
@@davi.poiani I actually ordered the T3+ yesterday. So, hearing that it's no longer competing is kinda concerning for me. Your reply is actually reassuring for me lol. I chose the T3+ because there are a lot of people on reddit with similar opinions as yours, but the posts are outdated. Plus, most good reviews about it are also from a long time ago so yea. I hope it won't let me down!
how does it compare with their previous T2 plus? I think T2+ is kind of an outlier in Tin's lineup as it heads towards the warmer side, probably one of their best iteration a couple years back or even now
as usual my favorite and the best iem reviewer period..! do you have a review about kiwi ears cadenza? or can you please have a review about this iem thank you very much merry X-Mas & advance Happy NW YR🥳
Yes but those work better because these reasons For Gaea, It has an overall boost to the whole upper mids and part of lower mids. This gives a sense of fullness to the sound, balancing out the energy in the lower treble. For Supernova, its a similar situation to the Gaea but a bit tamer across the board. The reason C2, C3, T4 Plus, and T2 DLC doesn't work is because the focus is all in the lower treble for the vocals. It's not even/ balanced out by any other elements.
Hmmm……. I’m finding myself in disagreement a lot lately with this channel! I haven’t tried any of TinHifi’s new offering but to say that 2022 was a bad year???!!! The 3 Plus is still a very good iem in the sub $100 category and the P1 Max, at its lowered price, is even better! Something I’d like to mention that’s almost never talked about is usage case. What I’ve found is that a lot of times complaints about too much upper midrange & treble mostly go away when the usage is for commuting or outdoors in environments with sub sonic frequencies. Sub sonic frequencies tend to attenuate both lower and upper frequencies. Also, if your use case is with a Bluetooth receiver, upper frequencies can have a tendency to be pulled back a bit. That little bit of extra energy in the graphs can actually be of benefit!
If a company need to half price an IEM (P1 Max) for it to be considered worth it, it's not truly a good IEM from the start. Any brand can do that. T3 Plus is not that good in comparison to the market today, and was really only top 3 under $100 for a few months. So essentially Tin has one worth the money release in all of 2022 (not counting P1 Max which needed to be half off to be good), and they released a total of at least 6-8 IEMs. And don't tell me P1 Max was good at full price, if it was people would buy it. They slashed the price because very few were buying. Also just looked this up. T3 Plus was released 2021..... So 2022 Tin has no worth the money/ competitive releases.
@@Gizaudio Sometimes very good products get either overlooked or pushed aside due to rapid movements in the market. Ask yourself how many iem’s were released last year? As many as you reviewed, you only covered a small fraction. Many get swept under the rug or never even get on the radar. Does that mean they’re bad? Of course not! Was the P1Max worthy of its MSRP? I think that it was. It actually competes well in any planar iem comparisons video I’ve watched. It’s just that you’re preferences aren’t towards neutral sounding earphones.
@@Gizaudio p1max actually sounds quite balance, relax with very good resolution to my ears at the same time. I have both timeless and p1max. When i need more fun to my music, I reach timeless, but whenever I want more relax and organic presentation combined with actually good soundstage depth (to my ears), I will pick the p1max over the bassy timeless anyday. This also shows how audio is very subjective and how reviewers can easily just say "not good" or even straight "bad" about an IEM without giving any further thoughts about the alternative use case & music preferences.
If i saw this before, i have skipped buying the C3, i had big hopes for it, i agree with what you said. The lower treble is really distracting, un natural. But i was able to buy that for $35. Tangzu Waner and QKZxHBB are better than the C3. Bought the C3 except the Cadenza and now i feel bad.
They should hire me..I would make a p1 max with a tad more bass ,1-2 db less in the 2-3khz area and 2-3 db less in the 9 khz area ..and 2 db + in the over 13 khz area This would be a perfect p1 max.More warm but also moe airy.When i eq them like this they are perfect very natural you don t have that distractive hi hat torture..amd the synth- violin efect..that all these trembly iems have.The only problem is that maybe they have to add an est driver in the over 12khx area to achieve this.. like hook x ..
@@SchwappSchwopp any IEM would be fine for just drums. personally i’d go for CCA CRA+ or QKZ HBB or TANGZU Wan’er, first two are V shape and fun and the last one is more balanced
And again. Here I go. Super reviews gave the c2 the best review. That's because he listens to low volume. You listen with more volume . Then the upper mids and treble can be to much. For me when I hear at 85db. Non of them is good to much highs for me. Ans when I listen to metal. I have better options
