Tin HiFi P1 Review

Tentative title: "Good, Not Great"

Introduction

The P1 is now currently Tin HiFi’s newest flagship priced at an MSRP of $169. It makes use of a micro planar-magnetic driver, similar to those used in Audeze’s iSine series but downscaled to fit in an actual IEM shell that can be fully sealed.

The P1 can be purchased on 2019-06-21 00:37:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Prototype version of the Sony IER-Z1R video review

For context, I probably did about 4-5 reshoots of the IER-Z1R video review (link here if you missed it: https://youtu.be/JmxB4CdmZ24). This was probably the only one apart from the final version that made it out of the editing phase.

My T3 was provided to me by Linsoul for a full...

Tin Audio T2 Pro Review

Introduction

The T2 Pro is the self-proclaimed "improvement" to the original T2 model that brought Tin Audio into the limelight. It retails for the same price though just like its predecessor, it also goes on sale often and is usually quoted at its commonly-discounted price of US$30.

It does seem to be more a mild tweak of the T2 than an overhauled upgrade, which ma...

Tin Audio T2 Review

Introduction

The T2 is the IEM that put Tin Audio on the map. I'm also severely late to the party considering that nearly everyone has been hounding me for a review for half a year... but hey, better late than never.

Sporting two discrete dynamic drivers, it's a configuration that's rather rare in the industry where everyone seems to be moving towards a balanced arm...
