The color of our iem's are the same. I put the wrong iem in the left ear just to take the picture, i was'nt listening. The blue on the left ear looks like yours. I paid 25$ for re-400 and 36$ for tin audio t2, the price value ratio was virtually the same for me. At sale the t2 is indeed a better cxb. But at normal price they cost around the same. I think they complement each other. The re-400 for a relaxed listening or for more pop songs, altought while listening to rap the deailed upper range of t2 reveals lots of layers, voices, effects and etc, Amazing. The re-400 are also more confortable and can be used for sleeping. Not everyone find a good seal with t2.

"while T2 has similarly bright upper mid-range + more prominent treble overall" thx for your explanation, now i can read better the differences beetwen the two.

Yeah, the issue is that your image is reversed/mirrored as it appears that you have red/right side in your right ear yet it fits differently. What happened is that you put red/right side in your left ear and reversed image came out of your camera.

Anyways, T2 is an awesome product and I'm looking forward to 'T3' or whatever they end up naming their successor, given the sales of T2 I think it's almost confirmed that more is yet to come.

For t2 is the stock cable and tips fine?

Can anyone please recommend other IEMs just as bright and neutral sounding like ci880 / ZS6 / zs5v1 ? Thanks
I wouldn't call ZS6 or ZS5 neutral, but the T2 definitely is

In regard to the hyperacusis mentioned before it is a rare condition and sometimes misdiagnosed. There are several other reasons for sound sensitivity or pain in the ear. Best advice can be given from specialist doctors. Personally i like the fun factor of certain earphones but I cannot use them for long sessions so I am still looking for warmer and neutral sounding ones. Low frequencies "travel" longer so putting more pressure to the tinny hair cells in the ear. The first ones to die are those of the high frequency. So bassy earphones might not be the answer. Over the head ones are much better and open-back even more. There is also the Headroom MS16 which is a good cheap open back earbud. But again be very careful and seek doctor advice. Thanks again to all the people here who test several earphones and help people like me make better decisions. My advice to all is be smart and listen responsibly. Tinnitus, hyperacusis and other conditions can be life changing and while you can change earphones you cannot change ears.

sure they are, i am having so much fun getting these sub $100 iems and compare them, this page is great. any suggestions on an analytical set that sounds great for classical music with detail retrieval that i can try cos so far i found them all on the warmer side and im after a nice detailed one.
Try the Yersen FEN-2000.

My KZ ATEs just got here. Wow these are good. Replaced the tips with some spare MEE audio triple flange tips I had lying around, and wow, these are incredible! Clear and articulate, but very present and warm bass, lightning fast and super warm mids, with mellow treble I asked for. For the first five minutes, the left driver was noticeably louder than the right, but the right one kicked in shortly after that five minutes. Super wide sound-stage, which is super neat. I am definitely hooked on chi-fi now!
Welcome to the club! The ATE got me raving over chi-fi too! I recommended the IEMs to 100+ people in real life and on my Twitter and blog, and everybody is blown away by the sound quality for this price.

Furthermore:
Everybody keeps talking about the T2 here. Even though I have the FEN-2000 and the E-MI 880 is coming my way... I’ll think i will just order it too. Can’t resist.

I've just noticed Einsear T2 in your signature...I also have them, using them on my Benjie DAP. What are your thoughts on them and how would you compare the two T2s? (other than Einsear having more bass, I'm certain, and being warmer)

Also, KZ EDR2 vs. ED9 vs. UiiSii HM7? I might get a pair of sub-10$ IEMs, just because...

On the topic of burn-in: while I can understand that (some) drivers might sound slighly different after a while due to “adjusting“ to different signal they're receiving compared to factory tuning, I still believe that most of percieved difference in sound comes simply from you getting used to head/earphones' specific sound signature. In other words, “brain burn-in“ is more responsible than actual changes on drivers, whatever they may be...
Just my 2 cents...
