ARTTI T10 REVIEW!!! This iem broke me.

As someone who is still fairly new to this hobby, I guess you could say that I can be easily excited when something comes along that surprises me (in a good way). The Artti T10 did more than that. It literally broke my idea of what a "great" set of earphones should look like, feel like, COST, and most of all SOUND like. Because these sound like they cost about $500 or more. I'm not just saying that. Its a SINGLE 14.2mm planar magnetic driver. Thats it. But it Sounds like a TOTL Dynamic and a TOTL Planar had a child. And that child was the Chosen One. Freaking magic IRL.
Metal rating 9/10!!!

Bro ,you are 100% right about the T10 ,F'N awesome awesome understated set especially when paired with TRI Clarion tips for more air and soundstage

[@BassDad8]

Awesome! I’m going to order those tips! Thank you!

[@muttyhc]

Which would you go for? Artti t10 Nicehck f1 pro Simgot ea500 LM Kiwi ears quintet I actually own the quintet already but my wife has taken it from me. I liked it but felt on some music bass was lacking a bit I mainly listen to soundtrack music like hans zimmer etc Or something else? Thanks

[@BassDad8]

So the Binary x Gizaudio Chopin is basically the Quintet with more bass. And it’s got a bit more energy and it is easier to drive. And listen, I love the T10, but I also realize that it’s not going to resonate with everyone the way it did with me. It’s not a bad price to take a flyer on though. You’ve got a difficult choice as there is not a bad iem on your list. Still, performance and enjoyment-wise (not including the Quintet), the Chopin and T10 are my top 2. And of my 40 or so IEMs, they ARE my top 2.

[@BassDad8]

@@k77bull I got the Tri Clarion tips and they are just as good as you said! Thank you!

[@BassDad8]

Nice! Glad to hear it! These literally sound like a DD/Planar hybrid. I’m mean the quality and quantity of the low frequencies is just crazy to me, you combine it with the clean, clear, present mids and treble to die for… I’m just stunned. Went to bed listening to them. Woke up an hour early so I could listen to them before I got my kiddo up for school. About to do my taxes with them… I can’t stop. lol. Ain’t this hobby Grand?!?!? Sorry forgot to hit reply..

[@arthurmonay3156]

After listening to the T10's and commenting on them (read my previous comment i wrote about an hour before this one) I re listened to your review. I have never agreed so much (100 %) with a review like the one you did. I've never been sold on an iem like you did to me with the T10's. When I was re listening to the review i kept asking myself if that was me speaking or you because thats exactly what I would have said. Other reviewers talking the way you did would have me wondering what they'd been smoking. That review you did , to me , is the greatest review of all time. 100 % right on. Will I ever be able to listen again with my other iems ? I'm a subscriber. Thank You !

[@BassDad8]

No! Thank you! My man!

[@ricardoribeiro2194]

this is the best seller i have saw in decades

[@bongofury3176]

These also broke me. I had the Artti R1 and was very impressed so I ordered the T10 and am absolutely blown away. They are outresolving some very expensive headphones and amps (ribbons, planars, electrostats, NOS valves etc) and I am hearing things that I have not heard before. I've been headphone obsessive for nearly 40 years. Genuinely staggered by their performance. They aren't perfect but they are quite close. The bass punch makes me go woah every time. Foam tips work best for me. To my ears they have nice balance, separation, tonality, stage and punch. Can only fault them on looking like hearing aids and breaking the market. Artti for president

[@BassDad8]

They are my benchmark set. Everything that I review now gets at least a quick comp with them. That does not mean I always put that in my review. The whole apples to oranges thing and such. But for overall performance they are always on my mind. And more preferably, in my ears. Glad you are enjoying them so much!

[@residentzero]

Same experience. I bought them out of curiosity expecting nothing much as the cheapest planars I knew out there, and was already impressed by the ea500lm which I thought would be my end game (after upgrading from EW200 which I thought nothing could beat) and at first the T10 was like sibilant (because it's brighter in comparison) but after a few days and I keep comparing all of them, the t10 are just unbelievable! I can't even enjoy the Simgots anymore. So the T10 progressed into my favorite for classical music as their brightness and clarity, open air, details override my initial treble sensitivity. The LM was still crazy fun for progressive metal and movies. Then each time the T10 it's taking over like a virus lol, it's just getting better and better and better! I notice the lack of balance of the LM now which has great bass for movies, but when compared they lack clarity and the high end is missing like a high dent in the frequency. The T10 it's hay a delight once you get used to it, and gets addictive. It can still get exhausting for me after a while but then I switch for a bit and back, no regrets.

[@BassDad8]

@@residentzero I’m in the process of doing a “ planar wars” review. I am just mystified by this set. I had taken down the F1Pro, S12Pro, and Timeless without even breaking a sweat. Not to spoil the video, but you know what I’m talking about. I’ll save you the 15+ minutes. lol 😂

[@residentzero]

​@@BassDad8oh I'm gonna look for your plannar video! By the way I recently got the mp145 and although the bass/sub-bass is out of this world and much much better, deeper, it also comes with a frequent sibilance or harshness in some notes. The T10 bass is very good but pales in comparison, but I still prefer it because it has such a perfectly balanced tuning that it doesn't have any of the treble issues the MP145 has. So it's much more natural and laid back for long sessions

[@BassDad8]

@@residentzero I’ve almost purchased the mp145 on several occasions, but I already have the S12 Pro and it seems that they are more similar than different. I’m getting to the point where something has to be either exceptionally good or very different for me to be interested. That said, I’m always open to suggestions. It seems like you’re enjoying both sets and that is what is most important 😎

I'm sold ! Gonna order on Amazon right now.

[@arthurmonay3156]

I got my T10's and been listening to everything in every way. I totally agree with you. Way more than I expected. Brilliant tuning. Maybe other planars sound as good , I don't know , I haven't heard them, but not for this price . The detail with especially female vocals is the best I've ever heard. Can understand every word but they're not over anylitical . Drums really sound like live drums. I've never heard such a difference in sound using the different supplied tips. I had to find the right ones. The best fitting iems . The best for sleeping with , even on my side. I own many iems . Some $500 . These are top rated. Very , very enjoyable. Money well spent. Thanks for the review.

[@BassDad8]

I am really really glad you’re enjoying them so much! I didn’t think I was crazy. I might’ve been a little off the rails on the ULIM as that set is not as balanced as the T10. Still figuring this stuff out, and probably always will be. Thank you for the kind words! ☮️

[@timh.wright7943]

Dang dude, I guess I gotta pick these up! I've actually never heard planars, and I've been waiting for the Timeless 2 to drop. I saw that Penon just released a planar hybrid, and I've been waiting to see if anyone would review those. But I guess for $70, these should be a good interim set. Been busy, and you've got some other reviews I need to catch up on. Oh, and I've been thoroughly enjoying the Ulims.

[@marksr12]

Well, first review I have watched from you. I think you liked these. I have been eyeballing these except I thought they might be light on the low end. I have both the LM and OG EA500, both retuned and have lots of low-end. Think I'm gonna give these a try. Enjoyed your review!

[@BassDad8]

Yes. I understand why you hesitated. Trust me, the low end hits like a really good DD. There’s plenty of sub and mid bass there for ya! Thanks for the comment! ☮️

[@marksr12]

Ended up getting these...WOW! Sound fantastic and a great value! Thanks again.

[@bluwlvrine]

I'm a big melodeath fan and was looking for IEMs that would be great for that genre, and now that I found a reviewer who's also a metalhead I subscribed right away. I'm definitely buying these T10s, but I'm not sure if the Fiio Q3 DAC is worth the extra cost since it's double the cost of the IEMs themselves. I'll mostly be listening on my Pixel 7 or laptop, so I need a portable DAC. Are there any cheaper portable DACs that work with my phone, or is the Q3 the best option?

[@rajattalnikar6507]

Thanks for a great review. I've been in this hobby for more than a year now and have only tried the popular budget 20 dollar iems like Moondrop Chu, Chu 2, salnotes zero, tangzu waner etc. I now want to up my game and I'm looking for an iem that produces great details. I've heard that planars produce great sound. Will I hear noticeable difference in details with this iem as compared to those 20 dollar iems?

[@BassDad8]

I definitely think you will. I own the Wan’ er, Chu 2, Kiwi Cadenza and TRN Conch. Those are all very good sets for their prices. And the Zero :Red is a noticeable step up, if not a huge one, but the T10? That set caught my attention while I was vacuuming with them in. Vacuuming! I had to stop, sit down and really give them a listen. I could not believe how good they were/are. They scale incredibly well with more power behind them, so make sure you’ve got a decent source, but man. They’re so good!

[@realitymyquest]

This is the first review I've heard from you. I love how you effuse over this ARTTI T10 unit. I've always wanted to try a planar, so with your review I guess there's no going back. I put aside money to get the CCA Rhapsody but this T10 replaces the desire to hear a Hybrid BA set. I will look up your other reviews.

[@BassDad8]

Hey Thank you! The T10 will NOT disappoint you. I still cannot believe how well it performs considering, well, everything. Maybe the $500 call out was a bit much... But I will stand on how amazing the set is. All day. ☮

[@jb678901]

@@BassDad8 Given the performance of the T10, I would be hard pressed to justify a $500 IEM purchase in this day and age. Unless, of course, that IEM came with some serious and genuine (investment-grade) bling. Then again, I am not much for bling in my ears. I own the MP145's and I really like them. For sure, they are quite big, but they also exude a high degree of quality in their design/materials. That being said, the T10's a really comfortable and size/weight-wise...perfect. Sound wise...they really do play at a level 5-6x their $50 price...easily.

ARTTI 10 vs Truthear Hexa which one would you prefer?

[@pauljohndevera7216]

How are they compare to simgot 500lm in terms of sound as I've been heavily recommended by the t10 and 500lm but I don't know which to pick DD or Planar

[@BassDad8]

The Artti has some serious chops and it definitely sounds more like a DD in the lower frequencies. For me it has a more natural tonality than the LM. I’d take the T10 all day over the Simgot. And I do think the Simgot is a damn fine iem… so you’re probably fine with either. But again, the T10 has more polished treble and is just as good with techs.

[@aagm.]

Highly entertaining. I just bought these off a highly suspicious seller but I can't wait a month and a half for them. I got on here for consumer validation and I definitely got it. Haha.

[@BassDad8]

Do you mean a highly suspicious seller on AliExpress with a nonsensical store name that has more consonants than vowels kind of thing? Yeah, those can take awhile. I love the “full refund after 75 days” if not delivered clause. lol! I’ve waited up to a month to get a set of IEMs, but they’ve always showed up, eventually. Lol

[@aagm.]

Hey man so after receiving an empty package and then going with Aliexpress directly, I've got these bad boys. I'm comparing them to my Mega5P's, another obscure chifi thing and they're quite close in many ways despite being far off in price. I just wanted to pick your brain on EQing: what do you think remains after we EQ sets to a particular target, like Harman '19? So in terms of frequency response, barring errors or inaccuracy with coupler or unit variation or whatever, are we left with technicalities? Or the inherent characteristics of the set, how "well" it responds to eq, etc.

[@BassDad8]

@@aagm. so I think your last statement is probably the closest to the way I view EQ in general. The set has to respond to it in a positive way. I’m not one who believes you can make any $20 set sound like a $500 set, but I do believe it can be useful. Techs aside, if it works, it works. If not, you’ll know. Honestly I barely ever EQ. Besides tip rolling and nozzles/filters, but that’s analog. So I think I need to play around with it more. I have EQ APO and the Peace UI, so I just have to get over the “I don’t EQ anything” stupidity.

[@aagm.]

@@BassDad8 it's a trip EQing two good IEMs to the same target, in my case harman, and A/Bing, makes you really think about what you're paying for after you reach preference. The weird part is of course relying on squiglink and presuming the coupler results are right, etc. but it's totally serviceable At first I used oratory1990 etc stuff off reddit with peace/apo on the desktop then poweramp equalizer for mobile (tried a couple diff apps there) but yeah I find the set on squig, pull up their equalizer, autoeq the preferred target on the very right then copy all the bands manually to poweramp On one hand yeah you're neutering the unique frequency response of a set (arguable) but on the other you're smoothening out areas that are too much of too little etc Lemme kno how u go

Hola Mr. Bangs, tengo mis ARTTI T10 4.4mm y mi FiiO Q3 MQA, ¿Como usas el Q3 con el T10? ¿En ganancia baja o alta? Algunos reviewers me han dicho que necsito un DAC/AMP con al menos 800mw/DB para que funcionen al 100%, es esto cierto? Gracias por la amable atencion 😊

[@BassDad8]

Hola y gracias por la pregunta! Sí. Utilizo el Fiio Q3 con alta ganancia para el Artti T10. Es cierto que le gusta la potencia, pero no creo que necesites 800mW para que suene "mejor". 96 dB es bastante bajo para la sensibilidad de los IEM, pero nunca he tenido problemas para que suenen bien en el Q3. También escuché a personas decir que se pueden necesitar hasta 1000 mW de potencia para que una sensibilidad tan baja como la del T10 alcance un rendimiento óptimo. También tengo la computadora de escritorio K11 y noté tal vez un ligero aumento en el rendimiento, pero honestamente no fue tan notable. Siempre que utilice alta ganancia, debería obtener un rendimiento cercano al máximo del T10. Espero que esto haya sido útil.

This man is correct. They are that good. They are the buy of the decade.

[@t.dsmith8619]

Question about the source for these. I'm using the fiio KA11 to drive these (240 mW unbalanced). Do you think I'd benefit at all by going balanced (500mW+)or am I pushing these enough as is on 3.5?

[@BassDad8]

I am pretty much using balanced cables on everything. So of course my answer is going to be yes. But, they’re not super power hungry. A little higher impedance and lower sensitivity than most of my sets. I did try them recently with the Kiwi Ears Allegro at 150mW in the balanced connection. They seemed absolutely fine to me. Then I cable swapped to a 3.5 and the 70mW still seemed reasonably good. But I do feel like higher power makes them more dynamic. By degrees. That’s a tough call. You can get a good cable for $15-20, though. I’d grab a Zonie and give it a shot. It definitely won’t hurt anything.

[@BassDad8]

Hey there. Since I don’t have and have not heard the pla13 all I can go on is specs and release date. With the T10 being a full mm larger driver in diameter, that should equate to more low frequency preference. I can tell you that the T10 has very tactile bass with excellent impact. That might be the biggest difference, but the T10 is also a highly resolving set with excellent treble energy and detail retrieval. But again, without hearing the pka13, I cannot speak to its performance. Lastly, I think you would safely expect to experience an upgrade overall. The new gen 14.2mm planars are excellent and can be found in more expensive sets like the Tigerism Helianthus at $500! The T10 is a very safe bet. I wouldn’t hesitate to try it out. ☮️

[@maciejpilip8903]

I'd really like to try these out although I am afraid about the fit. What is the nozzle diameter of T10? For comparison Truthear Zeros and QKZ Khans were too big for me to use without causing pain after short listening sessions

[@BassDad8]

Looking at them side by side as I am right now, the T10 looks to have about a 2mm smaller diameter on the nozzle and also about the same reduction in depth. You should be fine.

[@BassDad8]

I have heard nothing but good things about the Qudelix stuff. I have the BTR7 and The Q3 for portable and I find myself going to the Q3 a lot more often. Don't know much about the BTR15 outside of specs. The Q3 is a great match with the T10, so I can definitely rec that combo. The Q3 is also currently under $90 and it performs well above that price point, even though it is an older model with MQA support. I still dig it. The T10 performs amazingly well as an all rounder. That is why I like it so much. It handles anything you can throw at it with ease, combining both power and finesse. It is a great set. Love 7Hz too, but planar vs planar the T10 just outperforms the Timeless at this point. I am guessing the Legato is pretty great though. As is the OG Timeless. No matter what you decide to go with, I think you will be in great shape!

Two things tonote as I am a/b ing them right now. One, the Quintet is a fantastic set. 2. The Artti is just as good, if not better (for me anyway), due to its overall presentation being more full and satisfying. But that is personal preference. Thank you for the question. It reaffirmed by belief in the overall quality of the T10, but also reminded me of how amazing of a set the Quintet is as well. Pound for Pound the T10 wins at $70 vs $220, but I cannot say one negative thing about the quintet. PSA - you definitely will need to turn the Artti up about 10% more than the Quintet to achieve the same volume output. It is a less sensitive iem, but when it gets cranking, it is fantastic.

artti t10 vs simgot 500lm which should i get?

[@BassDad8]

Oh God. I don’t know. I love the original ea500. But for me the Artti is better. Everyone seems to love the LM though. And Simgot has been on a roll. The safer choice is the LM. I really want to say get the T10, but facts are facts. The LM has way more reviwers behind it than one crazy old metal head. ☮️

[@BassDad8]

Oh and I am planning on buying the LM as well. If that helps.

[@BassDad8]

Been A/B ing the ea500 and T10 and it’s not even close. The T10 is actually better at being a single DD than the EA500. And it’s got all the planar goodies on top of it. I could be totally wrong here, but I just don’t see the LM making up the gap. It’s too wide. That’s how freaking good the T10 is…

[@BassDad8]

My LM is arriving tomorrow. Will get to an a/b comp as soon as I can, but for now the battle of the 14.2mm planars is raging. F1 Pro vs T10. It’s ON!

[@ralden9983]

@@BassDad8 can you give us your preference when you get them?

[@davidperez-sk7wt]

Am I missing something? I'm not liking mine, I feel like they don't stand out at all, I don't know if I need more amplification :(

[@BassDad8]

So the short answer is yes. You probably need more amplification… but that alone may not “fix” them for you. I had the same problem with the Juzear Clear. Everyone seemed to really like them. Called them “bass canons”. I did not experience that at all! Ended up giving them away to someone who is really enjoying them now. They were a miss for me. The T10 might just be a miss for you. But give them a chance please. Try different tips, a different Dac or amp or combo if you can. Maybe a different cable. Try anything you can in your chain without dumping a bunch of money into it. These are $70 IEMs when they aren’t on sale, and they usually are. If I may ask, what are you using for amplification? Have you tried any other tips than stock? And do you have a cable handy to swap out? I’d like to help, if I can…

[@davidperez-sk7wt]

Thanks for the reply, I have a fiio ka13, I need to try the balanced cable, which I have read helps a lot and I think I also need to improve the eartips.

[@BassDad8]

@@davidperez-sk7wt try a 4.4 and do some tip rolling. And please let me know how it goes!

[@BassDad8]

@@davidperez-sk7wt oh and the KA13 looks really nice! That shouldn’t be the issue, I don’t think.🤔

The T10 with KZ AZ09 Pro's...(on sale)...total budget = $80 The T10 with MUSEHiFi M4...(on sale)...total budget= $150 Wireless with the T10...game changers...without breaking the bank!

Nice!!!

ARTTI T10 vs mp145?

[@BassDad8]

I don’t have the MP145 for a comp. But I am still considering it!

[@gongfreecss38]

Dioko or this sir?

[@BassDad8]

Being that I have not heard the 7Hz Dioko, I can’t give you an informed answer. My understanding is that the Dioko has a different tuning style that not everyone liked. The T10 is pretty much universally liked, so I’d say it’s definitely the safer of the two choices. Every time I go back to it, I’m impressed. Just remember that it likes a little power and it’s not afraid to be turned up. Let me know how it goes! ☮️

[@gamingxcapsule]

This or simgot ea500lm?

[@BassDad8]

Two different animals. From top to bottom the Artti is just yummy goodness, but you need power to experience it at its best. The LM has more thump in the mid bass and more energy in the ear gain and treble, but is easier to drive. Depends on what you like and what you have for a source. The T10 is a HOF iem. It doesn’t matter that it’s a planar driver. It transcends that. The LM may be one of the best single DDs I’ve heard under $150. It depends on what you’re after.

[@gamingxcapsule]

@BassDad8 I basically listen to pop songs and sometimes vocal-oriented songs. Also, I like bass-not that boomy and muddy, but I need that bass to be accurate, punchy, and tight. (Treble must have sparkle.) For that, which should I pick? It doesn't matter if it's planar or DD. So, if you were to blindly suggest the best one, which one would be your first choice? ( I'll run it through Shanling UA4 Dongle)

[@BassDad8]

@@gamingxcapsule to be safe, I’d go with the EA500LM. You’d really need to use the balanced 2.5mm out and high gain to get the T10 to close to its potential. It’s only got 96dB of sensitivity. The LM will be easier to drive and should have both the bass impact and treble sparkle you are after. I love the T10, but I’m afraid in your use-case scenario, you will be disappointed. It’s really laid back until you hit about 400mW of power. Please let me know how it goes! ☮️

[@gamingxcapsule]

@@BassDad8 Really appreciated man ❤️

[@paulsito666]

this or the truthear hexa??

[@BassDad8]

There are a lot of Hexa fans out there. I’ve never tried it. Probably should. I’m always going to recommend the T10, but it is a little harder to drive than most sub $100 sets. So power or volume or both are going to give you the best experience. If you have a source, other than just a phone or tablet, you will be fine. If not, the Hexa might be the safer choice.

[@BassDad8]

Oh and even a less expensive dongle Dac/amp will work- like the Fosi DS2 or Kiwi Ears Allegro. It just needs something to push it a little bit.

[@views8962]

Don't know how they did it? Crack it open brotha and share the knowledge.

Ain’t no way I am getting it open without destroying it. lol. No thanks 😂

@@BassDad8Try shining a flash light to see how its hooked up. Maybe it just needs some heat and it will come off with a plastic pry tool.
