Tingker T180

New Head-Fier
Pros: Deep-ish bass
Cons: Sounds like a tin can, very foggy, whole balance is weirdly off and lacks a lot of clarity
I don't know where to start to be honest. I've been reviewing head-fi gears for almost 3 years and I try to keep my opinions balanced at all times, but for this, I could not do so. In three years, this is my first time saying that one's product ain't good enough. I always try to find the pros (as well as the cons) in every product, but I could not find any solid good points about t180. I am surely not against cheap/reasonably priced IEMs, because I know some brands, such as 1MORE, which has great sound quality within their very reasonable price range.
 
Sorry to say, but I unplugged these pair of earphone in less than 10 minutes. Yes, it was that bad. Will be short and brief on the sound impressions, it was the worst earphone I've heard in 2016. Sounds like a tin can, sounds very foggy overall, whole balance is weirdly off and lacks a lot of clarity. I really REALLY dig warm, dark sound signatures, but this one seemed not just dark, but very muddy, which makes the whole sound very tinny. The only good thing about it was the deep-ish bass and decent isolation, but not good enough either. The packaging was awful, I even did not like the font they used on the back of the box, unit looks that it is made of very cheap plastic and the sound itself is not good either.
 
I would not recommend this earphone to anyone. Sorry to Tingker, I know you guys put much effort making this product, but this is my very honest opinion :frowning2:

It is possible they're just a bad pair? I can't imagine how a single armature driver could produce such awful sound. Looks like such nice packaging and build quality for it to sound like absolute crap. Don't see why they'd put that much work into it knowing it was not worth it.

@thepooh In a million miles lol @AndroidVageta I have no idea why Tingker released a product having a lot of imperfections, but I assure you, it does not sound good for the price of $70. You can get way better ones for this price.

Damn i was really interested in these cos they're going for pretty cheap on 11.11 sale. Did you make sure you had a perfect seal with those ear-tips?
