Yes I used a lot R5 MSEB with Tape but I preferred OH10 and ME500 Platinum sounds even more transparent than Ikko OH-10!
Maybe I’ll sell IMR RAH, too dark for my taste
You will have no problem selling the Rah on here. I wish it didn't have the not so great piezo. Otherwise it's a hard pair for me to skip over if noise isolation is of no concern. It'll be interesting when IMR gets around to their DD+planar+estat sets....

The tape for me is mediocre compared to most of my other pairs even with heavy EQ/MSEB. The TRI I3, thie L3, uf isso14 and bqeyz bq3 and spring 1 are all better IMO.

Also Tape has many issues, we know about it.. fortunally I bought on Amazon and returned it.
In December they said me Tape 2 was ready to be launched in February, but no news about it.
Shuoer presented Soloist and Conductor.

R3 semper will be too expensive, something like 1100£

I like the Tape for what it is, unique sounding, with some obvious flaws that require EQ. A safe general IEM recommendation it is NOT.

QC has unfortunately been an issue for several people though.

TinHifi T2 Plus is on presale! -- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000908389231.html

Driver Unit:¢10.0mm woofer
Sensitivity: 104±3bBdB @1K HzV
Frequency Response: 10-20KHz
Impedance: 32Ω±15%
Interface: MMCX connector
$49 USD

No graphs unfortunately. Haha now the CHIFI are resorting to coming up with a "plus" moniker after a "pro" moniker.

Anyone game to try it? I'm not really a fan of the Tin HIFI house sound, so will wait for reviews. Plus I saw some QC issues with the Tin T4, hope it is fixed!

T2 vs T2 Plus

The T2 Plus curve (shape) reminds me of the UERR, but the scale is different.

Learned my lesson with the T2, T3 & P1. My goal is to add a more neutral to warm, with a fast Sub bass profile to my collection.

I think the Tin HIFI T2 Plus unit that Crinacle and BGGAR and some other tuners received is a beta unit, and they gave their feedback to Tin HIFI, so there may be some changes in sound with the final production unit.

LOL. Is anyone a fan of the tin hifi house sound? If so I picture them as a very dull human being who eats plain oatmeal and plain yogurt for breakfast every morning with their skim milk and thinks mayonnaise is spicy.

the Plus has leaner sound around 200hz? that doesn't feel promising... but I'll wait for the comparison reviews rolling in

Thanks for the heads up!

:rolling_eyes::unamused::disappointed: I quite like the Tin house sound, but definitely am not one who favors plain, bland foods. I get where you’re coming from though. :ksc75smile: I do think it’s a nice break from all the V-shaped IEMs in the budget category.

The T2 actually sounds quite warm-neutral to me, it’s just lacking sub bass. The lower frequencies are not truly neutral.

I've got T2 and P1 and they aren't my cup of tea either, the T4 on the other hand I can live with.

The higher frequencies aren't neutral either, it's quite wonky and spiky.

yup, to my ears (which is quite bass light) the T2 bass is plenty enough, provided of course we can get a good seal. the only problem with the T2 for me is the brittle and gritty treble. The T2 Pro on the other hand has a good treble extension and finer grain, but a bit leaner in mids compared to the T2, making it sounds brighter.

overall i like Tinaudio's tuning (i also a fan of Moondrop's),so I'll be tuning in on this Plus version for sure
