Is there a reason why when you buy 2 products from a store and you want to buy faster shipping ( DHl, UPS and the like) why is it more expensive than paying for only one? Is the cost based on the weight on the package and not the size? For example if DHL costs 20 usd extra and you buy two products but they ship in the same package shouldnt the shipping fee be 20 usd? Generally it seems to be around 30 usd.

I can only speak of my experience with UPS, they will charge the greater amount based either on weight or dimensional weight. I usually find they charge me dimensional weight, so I try to ship things in a box just big enough to provide proper protection. Other companies that ship tons get massive discounts so they don't care about box size as much. UPS then charges casual shippers to make up the gross in-efficiencies of these larger volume shippers (i.e. Amazon).

@Slater

Thanks for the Rec... Just what i was looking for.
Great details... Wide Soundstage. No boomy bass just fast slamming hit drums.

I have to get use to the fit though... Some puzzling.

Happy with them. IMO better than Tinaudio T2

Are you sure the cable is attached correctly?

They do look like they’re swiveled backwards (ie pointing the wrong direction). That would explain his comment about the fit being weird.

Yes they are.... But I have attached a balanced cable with long plug and the fit is better.

The memory wire were bent to much.

I would rather check it again with a magnifier to see the markings on the pins end of the cable.

Like i said I have used a TRN balanced cable with longer plug... The original cable goes on the pile.

"funny" detail I received the non "pro" version. No dampers inside.

And damn what I hate those tight MMCX connectors. :)

sorry mate, did I miss out ? better than Tinaudio T2 ? what IEM is this ?

They are the T180 indeed.
My personal opinion...never liked the T2 very dull sounding. The T180's are way more fun. They are on the neutral side with slight extension to the higher frequencies. Though not fatiguing.
I like the way how the mid bass slams...vocals forward and no sub bass. It's fun with EDM

I do think the Tin T2 has been surpassed by other IEMs nowadays, but I don't get calling them dull. They are certainly very musical and far from dull. Other people are the Tin T2s dull?

Nope, they are open sounding, quite good technicalities with natural bright sounding. The sub bass and mid bass are light though, far too light for me.

The tin t2s are a legend and will always be to me, doing the things it did at its time of release.
