what about the best product for about 20 usd from aliexpress ? i heard about KZ ZSR.. any other suggestion ?

Don't forget about the CCA C10. It's been discounted down to about $20-23 during small sales, and with a $3 AliExpress coupon, I bought mine for $19.95.

I just got my TinHiFi T2 and out of the box I am impressed but not. It's bright and piecing but it sounds like it needs some serious burn in time.

I hope this is not what it's always going to sound like. It sounds muddy sometimes and on some albums everything blends together.

Albums that sound the best you can ever hear on other earphones sound great but worse on this one?

Is your goal to make it sound worse? This has been proven by other members to not be soldered correctly. I got rid of all my TRN cables.
I was not aware of that.
It's offered by the NiceHCK Audio Store, and NiceHCK was recommended to me.

To be fair, it's only the 6 and 8 core TRN cables that had the soldering issue. The 16 core ones were proven to be legit. Thanks to @Slater and other folks at the budget cable thread for sacrificing their cables to bring this issue to light.
But that was discovered a few months ago. TRN said it was a particular supplier/factory that made the 6/8 core ones that had this issue and they were fixing it. As of last month some headfiers found the 6/8 core cables were still unsoldered, so I'm not sure if the newer batches are fixed, or the Aliexpress sellers are still pedalling defective old stock.

i find the cable on the BLONs okay for me too (i'm asian by the way, so that could be a reason), but the pre-formed ear hooks are a little thick for my liking because I'm wearing glasses. Ended up just stripping it off to make it thinner and more comfortable to wear with my glasses.

3 Hours later, haven't pulled the Guiderays out of my ears. These are the real deal. If I paid $250 for these I wouldn't be disappointed. The tuning is just right for my tastes.
Lol, those GuideRays are awesome.

Even if I have some candies to comparison right here now.
