TinAudio T2 Review
TinAudio mostly does OEM stuff. Their budget gem T515 was shrouded in obscurity for too long, and would only come up in the chasms of various chi-fi forum threads, which is a shame given it was such a nice offering in that price range. Nonetheless, TinAudio decided to get their act together, and the T2 is their first “proper” offering.
It’s got a rather unusual combination of Dual-dynamic drivers, and the asking price of the T2 is rather high (~$50) compared to typical chi-fi offerings. At this price it’s competing with some of the name brands aka Audio-technica, Meze, Brainwavz, and some very established Asian earphone manufacturers like Dunu, Fidue, Shozy etc. It’s a crowd out here, so can the TinAudio T2 stand out?
(Note: the ratings given will be subjective to the price tier. Definitely the expectations from a $15 IEM won’t be the same as a $150 one, and that’s the approach taken while assigning scores. Disclaimer)
