Equipment used: Mabook Air + DragonFly Red/Earstudio Hud100 + JitterBug FMJ; SpinFit CP145 eartips.


TL;DR: the Tin Hifi T2 EVO is a technically competent neutralish earphone that falls completely short on its poor tuning which introduces a brightness too hot for most.


Boy, this earphone could be good. Really good. It has all the ingredients. Unfortunately, the company refuses to tune properly. A frequency response graph peaking between 4 and 5 kHz (in the human ear’s most sensitive area) and that shark fin at 15 kHz indicate an impending disaster.




What the upper midrange boost mainly does is adding midrange clarity. As an unwelcome side effect, it sharpens and attenuates vocals, which have a good note definition, but they are just too thin and sibilant. That’s where the original T2 are much better.

Bass in the EVO is reasonably tight but somewhat blunt (results vary with tips). Extension is good, but kick could be harder, culprit is lack of mid bass peak/the linear tuning. I’d call the low end rather ordinary but it is at least not overwhelming. Its bluntness removes some sparkle.

Vocals, although lean are rather realistically reproduced with reasonable intimacy. Midrange resolution is good as the lack of body leaves “a lot of space between notes”.

Treble rolloff starts in the upper midrange already, but it is revived by a shark fin peak at 15 kHz, which introduces fake resolution and clarity, air, and pain in the ears of younger listeners. Cymbals sound splashy.

Soundstage is not the widest or deepest (deep enough), but it is refreshingly tall. Timbre is very good, too.

Separation and layering are actually decent whilst dynamics is not the greatest. This iem could be very good wasn’t it for the tuning.

Tin Hifi T2 EVO modded​

Covering the 90% of the screens with micropore tape reduces the glare and increases the perceived mid bass (by reducing the upper midrange). This also enriches male voices to some extent, but not enough to call it a perfect fix. As a downside, the bass becomes slower and boomier but staging improves. The micropore mod certainly improves things but still does not make you run to the store and buy the EVO.


Covering 90% of the nozzle screen wth 3M micropore tape tames the upper midrange to some extent.

Tin Hifi T2 EVO vs Tinaudio T2​

The original Tinaudio T2 is easier to drive, it has a very similar basic signature, it is slightly less bassy and the vocals come out better. The T2 EVO is not a progress, tonally, but it is in terms of technicalities. The EVO offers wider staging, a more articulate note definition, it sounds sleeker whereas the original T2 is technically less refined but has better air.






Tin Hifi got it totally wrong with the T2 EVO. Instead of presenting a true update of the classic T2, they bodged it by delivering an overcooked tuning that will be hurting the eardrums of most. Another lost opportunity. If you need to get a Tin Hifi budget earphone, stick to the decent T2 Plus. Or get an original T2 second hand, it is worth it.

Introduction

TinHiFi is the brand name of a big OEM/ODM manufacturer from China which was launched in 2017 to bring HiFi sound and quality in a more accessible price point.
The T and P series of iems from TinHiFi are well known among the community but I have to confess that this is my first experience with a product from the brand.



About TinHiFi T2 EVO

Following previous T2, T2 PRO, T2 PLUS earphones, now the TinHiFi Tank Family is having a new member the T2 EVO, featuring classic tank build with high-quality workmanship.

The TinHiFi T2 EVO is equipped with a single 10mm carbon molecule composite dynamic diaphragm.

The "T" stands for "TANK" and the EVO is made of aviation-grade aluminum and a Tank style body.
The real aluminum color is classic and neat while the metal housing won't cause any allergic reactions on your ears as they are completely hypoallergenic.
The canal design can shut out noise perfectly and you are able to enjoy deep and rich sound.



Cable and accessories

The TinHiFi T2 EVO is designed with the popular MMCX detachable connectors and it is made from 5N 8-core silver-plated wire.
The cable is pretty good, with a high quality 3.5mm plug, it has a soft feeling, it doesn't get easily tangled and it is absent from microphonic noise.

The earphone comes with a small handmade leather pouch, three different sizes of silicone ear tips / two pairs of each and a single pair of memory foam ear tips.



Wearing comfort and isolation

The T2 EVO is very small and lightweight, the classic old style iem that is worn with the cable over the ear for increased stability.
The iem literally vanishes into the ear and I was able to get a super comfortable fit that didn't cause any stress even after a prolonged time of use.
The shells fit snugly into the ear and the cable helps a lot with stability, as such they are suitable for use during exercise but keep in mind that they don't have an IPX rating.
The iem is totally closed with only one very small hole for pressure relief and combined with the excellent fit, it offers great passive noise attenuation so it is good for noisy environments.



Listening impressions

As per usual practice I have left the T2 EVO playing music for about 100 hours before critical listening.
The T2 EVO is rated at 32Ω with a sensitivity of 93±3dB@1kHZ 0.126V, as such it is not a difficult load and can be used from your phone's 3.5mm output.
Nonetheless I suggest using at least an entry level USB DAC/amp like I did with the iBasso DC05 and Periodic Audio Rhodium.



The T2 EVO has a balanced and neutral sound signature up to the mids followed by an emphasis starting from the upper - mid range, reaching up to brilliance which results in a bright, airy listening experience with a lot of detail retrieval but the sound is lean, lacking in body and presence.
There is a great sense of clarity while the treble is surprisingly extended for a budget iem giving plenty of energy and agility to the sound.
Cymbals and other percussion instruments sound alive and clearly heard in the background with a good decaying speed.
Articulation is not the finest, instruments are lacking in naturalness and are heard with a metallic timbre, sounding somewhat coarse and artificial.
The lower - treble / upper mids are unequally forward and become shouty, causing some kind of piercing annoyance.
Mids and lower mids are calmed down, certainly better in timbre quality with a smoother articulation, finer expression, fuller body and rounder texture so vocalists sound well defined and more present.
Bass is absolutely neutral, almost linear without rolling off too much in the lowest octave, so it is not severely lacking in sub - bass quantity.
The presentation is lean and not as full bodied but in exchange it is fast, clean, tight, controlled and well defined with modest dynamics and impact.
The iem can keep up with complicated and bass heavy material without losing it's pace, able to present the various low register instruments with good layering and clarity, absent of any mid - bass bleed that could lead into potential masking.
The soundstage is quite expanded and it feels airy with excellent separation and positioning accuracy, I guess that this is the strongest point of the T2 EVO.



At the end

The TinHiFi T2 EVO is a neutral - bright iem with great clarity and detail retrieval for the category, linear bass response and an airy, accurate soundstage.
It is well built and lightweight with a comfortable fit, disappearing into the ear, making it suitable for extended use and exercise.
Unfortunately technical performance is nothing so special to write about, timbre is mostly artificial and there is that uneven upper-mids, lower-tremble emphasis that may end up being too annoying for some users.
If you are not sensitive in this particular area and you need a small, and comfortable iem for everyday use under noisy environments then you could give it a chance.

Hifigo sent me the EVO for review. My full video review is available here:

To summarize: the EVO shares a lot in common with the original T2 and the T2 Plus. The EVO has a nearly identical build, fit, and style of the original T2. You get the similar accessories, the same fit, and very similar tuning.

The EVO has a sub-bass roll-off that appears to be similar to that of the T2. Mid-bass is a little more elevated than the T2, but is less prominent than that of the T2 Plus. Separation of sub-bass from mid-bass appears to be the same as the T2.

Just as with the T2, the EVO has forward mids, with prominent vocal sibilance. This sibilance spike not nearly as piercing as the one I hear on the HD560s. However, if you are sensitive to sibilance, the EVO is not going to be a pleasant experience. Timbre of instruments is correct, and similar to that of the T2. Separation of instruments is not quite as obvious as on the T2, but the difference is not significant.

Treble is elevated, similar to that of the T2. There's an emphasis starting around the mid-treble region. It's not harsh or piercing, in my opinion. The T2 Plus, in comparison, has a roll-off in the upper-treble region, resulting in a gentler experience. The EVO is as clear in the treble region as the T2.

The EVO has detail and soundstage compatible to that of the T2 and T2 Plus.

Overall, the EVO seems to sit between the T2 and T2 Plus in tuning. It's got a bit of both in its DNA. For its $50 price, the EVO has plenty to offer. It may not be your cup of tea in looks or sound, but its a competent IEM nonetheless. But if you're not a Tin Hifi fan, then the EVO won't win you over.

Tin Hifi T2 Evo

Cus MK2 was so 2020.
Tin Hifi keeps the same barrel design from the original T2 family and we have seen some variations on the tuning on the T2s. Now with the Evo the group has come up with yet another variant.

The minimal packaging of the T2 evo is pretty much the same as their previous T2 packaging. Same thin SPC cable and same set of tips. The aluminum metal housing of the Evo is exactly the same here as well. Evo is using a 10mm carbon composite diaphragm for its new tuning.

With each variant of the T2, Tin Hifi has tuned them to be slightly different. The T2 Evo this time around is all about a brighter, cleaner presentation vs their previous more balanced bass infused T2 plus.

The T2 Evo was provided for the purpose of a review from NiceHCK. If you feel the need to complete your Tin Hifi audio collection you can find them on NiceHCKs web site here. I burned in the T2 Evo for a week straight and was evaluated using my souces. IBasso DX300Max, Fiio M15, Shanling M6pro, M5s, M3s, Fiio K3 2021, Acmee MF02s and IFI black label for amping.

Now onto the sound.
Sound tuning of the T2 Evo is mostly neutral but with an upper mid lower treble skew the resulting tonality is a decidedly a brighter tone. This type of tuning is what you would associate with much higher end headphones that resolve to a greater degree with a vast stage to present something like classical music in the truest form but for a smaller form IEM does this work?

The short answer to that is it depends. This tuning is not as versatile as their previous T2 plus model or does it have the technical chops to pull off this sound tuning to a full degree. You can’t expect world class high end presentation for a $50 IEM but for this given price point I suppose you can say it is more of an analytical neutral tuning and there are some positives to the EVO presentation which I will describe here on my read.

T2 Evo treble
Has a lot of it. Tin Hifi I am always gonna assume they like to tune with more treble in the presentation as this seems to be the underlying default house tuning with all their earphones I have heard. A lot of detail retrieval and how your sound is portrayed comes from the treble region and the lower trebles has the most emphasis. Presenting a brighter tuning here due to the emphasized region. Clarity and brightness is the angle the T2 Evo is now portraying and it definitely succeeds there. The presence region around 4.5-5Khz has the most emphasis and as such. You're getting a lot of forced presence and while this works with more melodic slower recordings that don’t highlight the region as much.

Modern music with energy in the music itself comes out a bit too bold, sometimes a bit too hot sounding for my liking. This in turn causes some fatigue while listening to EDM or metal music with a lot of crash symbols. As they say, too much is too much.

This is my biggest gripe with the T2 Evo. I get that they are going for a more analytical tuning here but at the same time if it gets to a point where you want to fast forward a track due to too much upper mid lower treble zing, then the sound simply will not be versatile. Narrow nozzle tips, foam tips and pure copper cable can only do so much to stave off the roughly 15dbs of gain in the region. To be fair it does present with an airy treble but does come a bit splashy add to that some glare in the mix, it simply has too much presence in the region and will cause fatigue especially when using neutral sources. Your warmest thickest sounding sources are a must when using the T2 Evo as a result.

Trebles do have a good amount of detail retrieval but again the issue here is it has a bit too much for longer listening sessions. These will punish you with bright sizzling treble. I do realize the Chinese enthusiast market loves some treble sizzle and enhanced upper mids but for the rest of the world. I don’t think these were made for Western or Euro sensibilities at all .

Mids
Mids tonal quality is clear but also sounds a bit brighter in the process. Mids brighter tonal character does not bode well for warmer sounding or what should be warmer sounding instruments and male vocals. This brighter skew for the mid bands also comes with a thinner note weight presenting with a bit more neutral presentation. Mids images well enough here and it certainly gives off an ability to resolve to a greater degree for the mids in the price range but if only these are tuned more neutrally with a moderate emphasis for upper mid tuning vs having that big lower treble skew. Adding to this the lack of depth with a moderate head stage and you got a very niche product made for folks that like a lot of detail with not much substance.

Bass
Bass end of the T2 Evo leans a bit more neutral in presentation here as well as it is lined up well with the mids lacking in any real forceful impact or does it have a deep reaching textured rumble. It does have a very moderate more neutral amount of emphasis and the bass end plays more of a supporting role in the presentation. Bass has got decent definition with speed and a moderate impact but somehow I miss the bass end of their previous T2 plus model. If you're a bass enthusiast. I would stay far away from these as there is no real redeeming factor for the bass end. It is just there to complete the track and in that regard if you're going for a more detailed presenting monitor Tin Hifi has succeeded there.

Technicalities
Its got a moderate medium average stage for earphones with a decent instrument separation and imaging to go along with it however the lack of depth is really the crutch on the sound presentation. It seems to have a bit more height of sound vs depth. A brighter overall tonal character with lack of depth and the music is presented more flat vs having any real dimensional aspects. I am not expecting top technicalities from a $50 phone but I have heard cheaper earphones that have better aspects shown by the T2 Evo. Timbre for vocals and instruments is skewed lacking any naturalness or realism. Everything has a higher octave to the presentation with a very quick decay to the sound. Meaning not only is musical notes have a slight thinness to the presentation but also has a brighter dryer tonal character.

In the end
The T2 Evo which stands for evolution has not really evolved to be better. In fact I don’t know if these are worth the little cost to get one as there are so many compelling products that do a versatile sound better than the T2 Evo. You have to be a fan of a brighter tonal character and a lot of presence in the upper registers for your music to fully accept this sound. To me there is just too much competition for a product to be this niche in sound quality. Maybe Tin Hifi is trying to recapture lighting in the bottle again from their original T2 and they clearly say in their marketing that these are bright sounding earphones.

As they are, these are not made for the eclectic music listening and will fatigue with a bit too much treble presence. I can tell the driver here used has good resolve ability at the price, but the tuning here should have been better balanced for this presentation. The T2 Evo have a bit too much presence and I can predict these will go under the radar for most enthusiasts. Even if you're a die hard Tin Hifi fan you have to love a brighter analytical presentation to want one of these. If that is you then these will be right up your alley. As always thanks for taking the time to read. Happy listening

The presentation is typical Tin, nice box and plenty of tips including foam and good cable and nice pouch too.
Build is the same as most of the Tin HiFi line, solid and well made. The tolerances for the MMCX are on the tight side so be careful or invest in a pulling tool. I found them comfortable for long use in both fit and sound signature.

Sound:
Bass: It presents with a neutral Bass not to say it doesn't have some good quality Bass. The Sub-Bass rolls off quickly but still a fair amount of rumble is there, in general I feel the Mid-Bass has more emphasis and speed but overall the Bass is well controlled and has nice details.

Mids are very pleasant with some lower Mid warmth but upper Mids are forward and more prominent, Female Vocals have a bit more emotion and are a little more aggressive but still are not harsh or shouty, Mids are rich and have a decent amount of details and clarity.

Treble: The highs are defiantly elevated with some sparkle and airiness especially in the upper treble. good detail and separation without harshness make them enjoyable.

Soundstage and imaging:
Soundstage is wide and immersive without sounding unnatural, it worked well for gaming helping to keep the atmosphere natural , imaging was accurate and above average in most cases.

Conclusion: The T2 evo is a well made classic looking IEM most should find quite pleasant, it has a lot of good features and I personally like it for long term listening.

Introduction:
TinHIFI is, by now, a well known company in the portable audio industry. They were made famous by their T2 which was a big hit. As of writing this review, TinHIFI is exclusively producing IEMs, with their T series utilizing dynamic drivers exclusively, except for the T3 which has a hybrid driver setup, and their P series which uses planar magnetic drivers. The T2 Evo is the third iteration of the T2, and currently retails for 49 USD. The T2 Evo was provided to me for free by TinHIFI in exchange for this review.

Unboxing and Accessories:
The T2 Evo comes in a white rectangular box. Upon opening, you will see the T2 Evo earphones inserted in a block of foams. Lifting the foams up will reveal the accessories; a black drawstring pouch, the cable, instruction manual, warranty card, a single pair of foam tips, and 5 pairs of silicone eartips, with the 6th pair already attached to the earphones. One thing to note about the eartips is that it has a stem design similar to Spinfits.

Build:
The shells are made of metal with some sort of a matte finish so it doesn't smudged by your fingers easily. The faceplates have a single vent, and embossed with a curve that is colored red and blue to indicate the right and left side respectively. At the rear side of the shell there is another vent, and the nozzles with a metal mesh filter and a lip to hold eartips in place.

The cable is an 8-core twisted silver plated copper which is a bit thinner than usual but feels well made nonetheless. It is soft, lightweight and easily manageable. The MMCX connectors are made of metal which really, really tight and very hard to remove once inserted. The splitter and 3.5mm gold plated plug are made of metal as well, while the chin slider is made of plastic.

Now let's get to the sound.

Lows:
The lows come in with a light approach. Subbass depth is great, however, the rumble and impact doesn't have much weight to them. The decay is on the average side but sometimes it seems to dissipate quicker due to the dominance of the mids. The midbass is placed a little more forward than the subbass, and has adequate thickness.

Overall, the lows are the least audible division in the T2 Evo's sound. But on some very bassy tracks, the bass can go really deep. It seems that the driver TinHIFI used is capable of producing impactful lows but they just tuned it to be this way.

Mids:
The mids are obviously takes the spotlight in the T2 Evo's sound. The mids feel spacious, transparent, with a very good amount of air between the voices and the instruments. It also slightly leans on the thin side, with the upper mids having that familiar elevation. Despite that, aggressiveness in this section is non-existent.

Overall, this is the most enjoyable part of the T2 Evo's sound. Female vocals are presented nicely with that extra bump in the upper mids and while it doesn't get shouty at all, the upper mids sometimes hinder some frequencies especially the bass and lower treble.

Highs:
The highs, just like the mids, have a noticeable elevation. Lead guitars and cymbals sound solid with an above average level of crunch in them. The reach in the treble and the accompanying decay are both slightly above average, but there are times where the lower treble gets drowned out by the mids.

Overall, the highs provide a great amount of sparkle to the T2 Evo's sound. However, the treble lacks a bit in the upper reach to present some small details vividly and satisfy the trebleheads.

Soundstage and Imaging:
The stage has an above average expansion, with the height and depth expanding equally. Imaging has good clarity, while layering and instrument separation are great. However, sometimes they get affected by the mids in instances where it overpowers the highs. Congestion, on the other hand, is at the minimal even in complex tracks.

Comparisons:
TinHIFI T2 Evo (1 DD, 49 USD) vs. BQEYZ KC2 (2 DD + 2 BA, 55 USD)
Both of them have the same level of loudness for the same level of volume. The KC2 has more rumble quantity in the subbass, but the T2 Evo reaches significantly deeper. Midbass is about the same in terms of impact and weight. In the mids, the T2 Evo has better articulation. Vocals are more forward with the KC2 but the T2 Evo has better clarity. As for the highs, the T2 Evo has a bit longer decay, but KC2 has the better reach. Soundstage has more width in the T2 Evo, while the height seems to be just the same.

Conclusion:
I have tried the most of TinHIFI's T series of IEMs before. That includes T1, T2, T3 and the T4, with the exception of the reiterations of the same model number like the T1 Plus, T2 Pro and so on. All of them had the same sound signature, and that is being neutral that slightly leans to being bright. The T2 Evo right here is no exception, carrying the signature that runs in the family.

TinHifi T2 Evo Review - Evolution or?



Intro

TinHifi is no stranger in the Chi-Fi scene. Their OG T2 series received a very good response from the audiophile community praising its performance, and also the price point it was offered at. There are several models in the T2 series, namely the OG T2, T2 Plus, T2 Pro and the latest debut which is the one which i am going to review today, T2 Evo. I heard the Plus and Pro some time ago. I’ve had good experience with the Plus, and a very bad experience for the Pro.

That is not the point in this review, the star of the show will be T2 Evo. Let’s get right into it.


Packaging

The packaging is very similar across the T2’s series. T2 Evo is no exception as well and it carries over the usual T2 series’s packaging style. A cloth carrying pouch, three pairs of spin fit like eartips with rotatable tube, and a pair of the blue colored foam tip.
8/10 for the packaging



Build and Comfort

The shell of T2 Evo is made out of aviation grade aluminium according to TinHifi’s marketing material. No doubt the durability of it is top notch by the look of it and the feeling. Comfort wise, at stock form, it was a mess for me. I was having trouble wearing it over the ear as it doesn’t seal well nor it will sit in my ears properly.

I resort to cutting off the earhook and wearing them with the cable down instead of over my ears, now I have a very good seal and also very comfortable.
Overall a 8/10 for build and comfort after removing the earhook

Sound

T2 Evo is marketed as a bright earphone as stated in the marketing material. They are being very upfront about it. They even mentioned that if you are sensitive to high treble, you’re better off with T2 Plus or T4.

Tonality wise, I would describe them as neutral and bright. The overall presentation feels very airy and detailed as well. Treble heads will probably like this model.
One thing to note that this requires burn in, out of the box, the vocal sounded sibilant and the upper range of the frequency sounds bright as intended but it was harsh. I plugged them into my DAP and just let it loop for around 20-30 hours, and it is way smoother than it was out of the box, bass is tighter and slightly refined,

Bass

• The bass on T2 EVO is tight and punchy
• Bass is lacking in terms of quantity, some might find it too lean and lacking fun factor
• Slam is average
• Doesn’t bleed into the mids

Mids

• Vocal presentation is average, doesn’t feel too thin or thick for both female and male
• Layering is good as the vocal doesn’t overlap with the instruments making them sound muddy. Vocal is clean and clear
• Vocal positioning is a little forward rather than intimate, it gives the feeling of the artist singing directly to your face

Treble

• Perhaps the main highlight of T2 Evo is the treble. Marketed as being bright
• Out of the box, it was really bright and harsh
• Very good amount of detail
• After 20-30 hours of burn in, things started to get a lot better
• The treble is still bright, however it is not harsh anymore and also the sibilant heard upon unboxing is not there as well
• Good amount of air and doesn’t sound congested
• Not for someone who is sensitive to bright highs

Soundstage/Imaging

• Soundstage is good, feels very wide and depth is not lacking
• Imaging is good as the instruments can be pinpointed easily
• HRTF experience is also very good. Doesn’t feel in your head kind, does have some 3D to it

Driveability

• Despite having a sensitivity rating of below 100 which is at 93, It can be powered off dongle easily, tested with Atom2 -> iPhone 11 and DragonFly Red -> Windows 10 PC
• It does scale pretty well with better source and also power
• Benefit from better source/dac/amp

Comparison with Venture Electronic’s BIE PRO

• The reason for this comparison is because both of them are at similar price points.
• BIE Pro is v shaped IEM whereas T2 Evo is more balanced
• If you are looking for bass then BIE Pro is the one for you, T2 Evo has got a more balanced sound and although lacking in bass quantity, but the bass is high quality bass where its tight,clean and punchy
• BIE Pro is warmer overall and lacking in treble extension
• Note has got more body to it compared to T2 Evo

Cable Rolling

• Pure Copper Cable : Add more body to the notes and tamed the high by a little, my preferred pairing with T2 Evo
• SPC Cable : Similar to the stock cable but the high seems a little more crisps and might be a little too much for some track

Final Thoughts

T2 Evo is an IEM that you will grow to like over time. Out of the box there really isn't much to like about it. It is bright, slightly sibilant and harsh out of the box. I put them through for approximately 30-40 hours and trust me, they are very very enjoyable now. My current setup with T2 Evo is the included foam tips and pure copper cable.

Still retaining it’s brightness in a smooth manner. Despite it graphing bad as shown by some other reviewers, my take on this is, just try it out yourself and don’t just judge a book by its cover. If you have tried and the signature is not for you, then it’s fine. If you have tried and you like it, good for you.

T2 Evo is a solid performer in this category, it may not be crowned as budget king of the year or detail monster, it is still unique in its own way.

A solid 4/5 from me. Recommended if you like bright sounding IEM.
