T2 Plus, final production unit.

 

[IEMusic]

I’m most curious how the T2 Plus will sound compared with the T4. Hopefully it won’t be too long.

Looks like it could be good. Perhaps slightly less shouty/fatiguing and maybe slightly warmer than the T4.

If the technicalities are equal to the T4, it may be the best Tin IEM yet. The shape of the shell looks better. Hopefully the fit is great.

One of the first Tin HIFI T2 Plus Reviews is out: https://www.audioreviews.org/tin-hifi-t2-plus-review-jk/

There's some comparisons there vs Moondrop SSR, JVC HA FDX 1, Tin Hifi T4, BLON BL-03 etc.

I saw that too , I'm surprised he didn't post it in this thread also. Definitely increased my anticipation for my pair to arrive, hopefully I'm not expecting too much from them.

I personally don't find MMCX to be a downside, as most of what I've owned has had it. As long as it's not of poor quality or had a design issue (1st version st-10 earbud had a problem), I've had no real issues.

I don't constantly cable swap or abuse my IEMs/Earbuds, so I could just have lucked out so far. If Tinhifi used what is pictured in their product photos in the T2 plus production run, I can see that they used the updated MMCX design in their product photos. A good sign towards not having their prior problems.

Maybe @Otto Motor can confirm?

Meant to post this the other day. When I was scrolling through the pics on AE I noticed one showed the connector. Looking at it, I can see it is the updated style with a protector/shroud around the MMCX pin. Looks like they learned from their previous problem.

No idea - I stay away from the connectors...the cable came attached and that's it for me! The cable itself looks and feels good. I have not posted reference to my review here because there are people going around reporting "double postings" to the admins. And I put it on the discovery thread already.

OK, here we go, the world's first Tin Hifi T2 Plus review...I'll post it on Head-Fi in a few days...and I will make a video tomorrow.

No chance of checking a connector then? I saw you had them disconnected for one of your review photos. But not high enough resolution or correct angle to tell from it.

Great review! I purchased them completely on a whim after briefly seeing your graph of the production version of the T2 Plus. Now I’m very glad I did. I like the Tin house sound in general, and this looks like it will be my favorite tuning yet. Despite my sensitivities to upper treble mids, I do like the T4 a lot, and find that it compares very favorably against the FDX1 as well, especially on technicalities.

What do you want me to check. I also have a beta pair...

If the MMCX of the production model has the 'shroud' around the center pin. This denotes an updated MMCX connector design.

Tinhifis product pictures show one, I'm just unsure if it is of a pre-production model or not.


This is a crop of Tinhifis photo, appears to be the new design:

Here's a pic showing new vs old design:

Cool, thanks. Updated design version.

Cool, thanks. Updated design version.

Hey, I hope it will still work when I re-connect it. I shot down my original T2 that way. By the way, way more discussion of this stuff on my FB group.

While anxiously awaiting the arrival of my T2 Plus order, I’m thoroughly enjoying listening to the Tin T4s. I really like how they sound with a TRN T3 silver cable and ePro horn-shaped tips. They sound very lively, punchy, and detailed. Right now, I think my FDX1 and T4 are my most detailed IEMs.
