Hello! Sorry for my English
I finally got my Tingker H16 and compared it to the AUDIOSENSE DT300.
Headphones were tested on Cayin N3Pro and personal computer via Moondrop Moonriver 2 (AUDIRVĀNA player). Output 3.5 mm. Nozzles NICEHCK EJT-30. Cable Tingker H16 - stock, cable AUDIOSENSE DT300 - NiceHCK Block C 5N.
I'll try to be short and to the point.
In the low-frequency range, the unconditional victory in both quality and quantity is won by the Tingker H16. They sound very massive, deep, with proper biting, aggression. Feels like a pretty decent hit. The DT300s play with more restraint, softness, well complementing musical compositions with depth, but without hitting your eardrums.
At mid frequencies, the AUDIOSENSE DT300 plays more interestingly and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, the middle is more pronounced and, with the right support for high frequencies, sounds more detailed, airy and simply beautiful. Secondly, low frequencies do not dominate, as in the H16.
The Tingker H16 has a very different mid and high frequency delivery. With comparable detail, they have a darker character. It sounds very impressive. If you go a little higher in the frequency range, then the female vocals sometimes turn out to be slightly shifted to the background and sound less airy and detailed, which I did not like.
What is the result:
The Tingker H16 are atmospheric-sounding headphones with solid, high-quality bass, well-defined, detailed mids, and fairly tight, yet musically consistent, detailed highs.
The AUDIOSENSE DT300 has less pronounced, softened low frequencies, a chic, well-defined, advanced mids and crystal-air, magnificent high frequencies.
Tingker H16 are headphones with a dark soul and heart, where rays of light colored the sky, appearing from behind the horizon.

Thanks for the review my impression with h16 is quite similar

How would you compare your aria to the h16. I keep hearing moondrop stuff praised to high heaven but no way to try them myself unless buying from abroad and I'm not interested in getting any more hp iem at this range. I'm just curious.

MoonDrop Aria Snow Edition has a more neutral, calm and well-detailed presentation. In other matters, the Tingker H16 still has more details. At medium frequencies, unlike the AUDIOSENSE DT300, the difference is almost imperceptible.
The main difference between MoonDrop will be more pronounced high frequencies and more muffled low frequencies.
MoonDrop Aria Snow Edition is a very good iem that I love, but when compared to Tingker H16, Aria seems more dull and flat.

I was listening to my T800 the other day (it has been a while since I put them in because of buying so many recently I haven't had much time for them), and I forgot how good these sound, if that sound is what you are looking for. This is exactly why I keep them around. I have nothing that sounds quite like them. I doubt I will ever part with them unless they break. :)

I never use mine - I should sell them. The main cable is balanced and I only have 1 source that is balanced.

So I recently got the DT200 and have been very pleased with everything about it, from the fit and comfort to the resolving sound quality and signature. It's been a while since I've been this enthused about an IEM.

Naturally, I'm wondering what my next step is regarding Audiosense's offerings. I'm intrigued by both the AQ4 and the T800 and am seeking some advice on which to spring for, or maybe another one I haven't thought about. Any advice would be welcome. TIA

DT200 has excellent timbre and tonality, very smooth warm neutral. It isn't that great technically though, that's the only nitpick I can say.

T800 is extremely different. It is a mild V shaped set with superb technicalities. The BA bass is vented so it sounds like a DD bass instead of those conventional BA ones which lack decay and movement of air. It has worse timbre than the DT200. Unfortunately T800 is a bit bright so if u are treble sensitive, you might wanna look elsewhere, or use tips/knowles filters to tame it.

So maybe some foam or Final E-type silicones for the T800 then, plus maybe some fixed band EQ settings to bring the treble down?

Yep those will help to tame the treble

Some folks also use a knowles filter (if you are adventerous).
The knowles filters can be bought on aliexpress or amazon, just search "knowles filter" or "knowles damper". Do buy a damper removal tool too for easier removal of the filter.
The knowles filter doesn't just tame the treble, it also increases the soundstage a bit IMHO. I bought mine here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32580267018.html but you can just buy it from the cheapest shop or something.



This is not an Audiosense T800, but putting in and removing the knowles filter is done similarly.

The knowles stock damper inside the T800 shell is white, and so u can add another knowles filter into the nozzle (I have tried the brown or green or white or grey), and if you do this, it is additive in damping (add the stock white damper's 680 ohms + whatever damper u put into the nozzle).
Others are more adventurous and removed the stock white damper within the T800's shell and put their aftermarket damper inside the IEM (I haven't tried this personally, afraid of accidentally damaging something).
