![]() Tin Audio T2: I find this is the model by Tin Hifi with the most neutral tuning and with a comparable price to the BLONs. Only the UfoEar Ufo-112 won over the Oppoty – and that made me think that musicians like organic sounding earphones even though they aren’t neutral: I chose the Ufo myself as the best model I’ve tried last year. I made a professional singer audition a lot of my in ear monitors (without saying anything about the prices) and she choose the BL-03 with double flange tips over AudioSense T800, BGVP DM6, Simgot EM1, YinYoo Topaz and a lot of other models. Something good about the midrange of both models is that, when it comes to live monitoring, vocals sound really natural and the smallness of the buds helps with the comfort on the long run. The imaging is average – on par with the other model, but this one costs a little more. Finishing with the headroom, I find it better here on the BL-05 – probably due to the accentuated treble -: it is really embracing, not crazy wide nor deep, but believable. I’m talking about small details, because both these models are really good sounding and well built, but there are a lot of competitors right now and I have to be specific to address people on the right model for them. The 05 are perfect with foam tips in terms of comfort and stability however, I noticed the same issue of the other model: the sound, already lacking sharpness, becomes even more muffled. It’s not piercing, but it sounds sometimes kind of unnatural and non-linear I’ve been disturbed by sibilance a couple of times. They didn’t – and I think that’s a wise choice, it is not a simple driver to tune – but they equalized the high range differently to the 03, while using (I suppose) the same dynamic driver. I think that’s why they wanted to put a piezoelectric tweeter. It is not crazy good in my opinion, but really decent: this driver sometimes seems to struggle to manage all the frequencies. Treble, in fact, has been tuned differently and it sounds more forward. However, vocals sound decent (yet still a bit laid back), and that’s also thanks to a better high range. ![]() The midrange is not so different, I’d rather when it’s even more forward. It’s less impactful, but I like more neutral tunings also, the sub-bass is still there and it is one of the better capabilities of this brands’ earphones. First thing first: the bass is not bloated like on the other model and it is quicker. Sound-wise, there are some differences and some similarities. Their design is more common for IEMs and it reminds me of some AKG models. Fit-wise, they are noticeably better: more stable, more isolating. ![]() However, they are somehow better than the BL-03. They are not the aforementioned “next iteration”. I’m sensitive to treble, so I honestly appreciate the relaxed high range in terms of fidelity, I think something like the Tin HiFi T2 would be better, because of the brighter highs. I don’t dislike the midrange, vocals are still clear and spacious however, I’d rather mid-centric earphones with a firmer focus on that range and a flatter response. However, it is a pleasant low range, thanks to the “carbon diaphragm” dynamic driver. Even though the sub-bass is really impressive, I find the mid-bass a bit too bloated: maybe the dynamic driver needs bigger vents here. The BL-03 are v-shaped, with a strong bottom range, a recessed midrange and a relaxed treble. I think the best choice would be a triple-flange silicon pair of ear tips (which I don’t have), because the double-flanged pair I put on them is the best sounding of all, but they’d need to be longer and more stable I’ve only achieved that with the foams. Even though the fit has improved, the sound became more tamed. Sound-wise, the foam tips make an important difference.
