I’ll be blunt with this one: Tin T4 is something I cannot quite recommend for reasons other than its sonic quality (albeit the sound itself has its fair share of mishaps).

Many seemed to have adjusted to the fact that these IEMs will likely have poor build quality/Quality Control in general and thus certain issues are “fine” as long as they get good performance at a lower price. Unfortunately, this kind of mentality causes more harm than good in the long run. We should demand better for the nearly $100 one has to pay to get these. Increasing the price nearly 3 times over the original T2 and then having similar, if not worse quality control issues is unacceptable.

Rant over. Let’s get on with the review. Just as a refresher, here’s how Tin HiFi has evolved over time, with their blockbuster hit, T2 (they used to call themselves TinAudio back then) and the polarizing, love/hate paradox Tin T3.

Note: the ratings given will be subjective to the price tier. I bought the Tin T4 from Amazon with my own funds. Disclaimer
