Hi!
I'm happy with Tin HiFi P1 as far as the IEMs are neutral and have got very low distortions: they permit to avoid dirty sound on dense live fragments (as symphonic orchestra tutti). But these IEMs have got low sensitivity (96 db) and is not very suitable for mobile using. I use them at home.
So I'm looking for IEMs at least as good as P1 in sounding (distortions-free and neutral) but more sensitive (and preferably up to $350).

Your suggestions?

Ok, more concrete question
Can anybody compare distortions of Tin HiFi P1 with Moondrop Blessing 2 ?

moondrop is well known for its linear phase low distortion engineering, you will not regret.
There is a ranking list I found very trustworthy you can refer P1 as C grade, and blessing 2 as A grade, a totally different league one.

Thanks for the interesting ref! Unfortunately that opinionated ranking has nothing with my problem: I'm interested in easy focusing on different instruments in orchestra.

Well, the attributes you mentioned is what “technicalities” mainly referred for any IEMs, with that said, blessing2 has better technicalities for the price range for you to focus on full orchestral, say one of Marhler’s, the polyphonic characters could be easily identified. Blessing2 has almost perfect tonality that simulates natural sounds, with highly above average technicalities to address instruments and harmonics. It has 117dB sensitivity too, easily operated with daily use players.

For that part, on easy focus on instruments on orchestra, “resolution “+ “wide sound stage” + “imaging capability” + “positioning “ will play the role.

For that I could refer blessing2 for very high standard player of the market for under $500.

I mean something another rather some relation to scene reproduction (which is impossible, only artificial scene is possible).

There is an psycho-acoustics fact known as "masking". In real life the fact takes place everywhere, and our ears are "adjusted" to some level of masking.
Distortions result in masking increasing. That is saying about focusing on concrete instrument I mean the last one must not be overmasked. You see,
it takes place with mono reproduction also and has indirect only correlation with scene (or SPL frequency signature).
