Linsoul TIN HiFi T2: A Comprehensive Review

Searching for some music-only, neutral in-ear headphones? Trust me, they are hard to find. Additional memory foam ear tips may cost extra. Since the cable is replaceable, you may wish to switch to one that fits better around your ears. The Linsoul TIN HiFi T2 belongs in your collection. Online audiophiles may have seen TIN HiFi-wired earphones. The affordable TIN HiFi T2 returned, like the Terminator, after an update. We tested this silvery pair of earphones for two weeks to determine if it’s worth a shot or better to save your money.

Specifications Of Linsoul TIN HiFi T2

How Is The Comfort?

Tin HiFi meant it when they stated they kept the T2’s design language. The T2 DLC’s construction and accessories are identical to the T2. The accessories include six pairs of S/M/L silicon tips and a pair of blue T2 foam tips. A 2-pin, 8-core braided cable with pre-molded ear hooks is provided. The 2-pin system is a nice improvement from the defective MMCX cable of the original T2. I liked the cable four years ago, but it doesn’t meet contemporary stock cable standards.

Tangling is its major issue. The Tin HiFi branding on the backplate is the main change. The shell is otherwise T2 bullet-shaped. Driver setup is the biggest internal difference. The original T2 has 2 6 mm + 10 mm dynamic drivers. One 10 mm Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) driver powers the T2 DLC. It’s as comfortable as the original T2. Not the finest. Its short, broad nozzle flares fast. It’s bullet-shaped, yet you can’t enter it too deeply. It’s not the most ergonomic shell, but it works for me. I do get sore after a while. Pre-moulded ear hooks secure it nicely. One benefit of its shell design is that you can wear it cable-down by using a cable without ear hooks.

Build Quality Of The Headphone Is Good To Go

I love the white braided cable—it seems sturdy and might survive misuse. It ends in a regular 3.5mm port that looks like a high-end headphone. This 3.5mm jack is the most sturdy I’ve seen since the Audio Technica ATH-M50. The other ends snap readily from each blossom when gently pulled. This design is great since you can easily tell right from left. It’s red and blue with minuscule “R” and “L” on each blossom if you look closely. I have a strong vision, but not everyone can see things in the termination’s gold area without looking. Aluminum earpieces with rubbery covers snap into place on each ear.

Sound/Frequency Response Is Simply Great

On first hearing, the T2 DLC sounds neutral. It balances with a bass hump and upper solid mids. Extended treble with a mid-treble drop. My impression is that the T2 DLC sounds like its frequency response. Only that it sounds muffled is noteworthy technically.

As you can see, the dimensions match my initial expectations; however, the upper mids extend the lower treble more than planned. Again, we should be wary of anything beyond the 8 kHz peak, but we can notice the T2 DLC’s upper treble extension. Bell-like instruments and chimes have some shine up top, but they’re not airy.

The extension appears to help the T2 DLC avoid sounding rolled off. I think the significant 10 kHz-ish dip is causing higher harmonic energy loss and muted responsiveness. Thus, while the hats and cymbals hit crisply, individual notes lack clarity. Despite its quick strike, the T2 DLC sounds quite dull. The IEM doesn’t sound smooth, either. It is awkward between the two. These instruments lose their shine. Though there, the notes lack character.

Packing and Accessories Of Linsoul TIN HiFi T2 Is Also Great

It is a simple, basic package; no issues with this pricing. Some good tips and the renowned blue foam complete the outfit. Blue foams are high-quality and match the Tin T2 sound. It has a poor MMCX cable. I didn’t take a picture because my cable broke after a month, but the MMCX connections were cheap, and the 3.5mm plug faded gold after two weeks.

Pros and Cons Of Linsoul TIN HiFi T2

Should you buy Linsoul TIN HiFi T2?

Not really. The T2 DLC is a decent IEM. It’s not a noteworthy IEM. Some consider it to be one of the best IEMs ever. Tin HiFi cannot compete with the most robust competition below $100. They’ve either chased previous greatness, tried evil inventions, or made me-too items in recent years. To be fair, some worked. Tin repeats rather than improves. Why did T2 DLC use the traditional shell and tangly cable? Tin HiFi did not have to stay with four-year-old construction concepts that don’t work for everyone with the T2 Plus and P1 Max. Though modest, it shows the company’s product development philosophy. The T2 DLC is another forgettable IEM in the increasing T2 variation list. But enough complaining. Instead, acquire the DUNU Titan S for this tune.
