BETTER THAN ARIA? Dunu Titan S & Tripowin Olina

[@markfrancisarevalo9124]

Can't wait for the review! Been wanting to buy something in the $100 range. Torn between the T3 Plus, Aria, and Dunu Titan S 😬😬😬

[@Gizaudio]

I'll make a comparison for those three!

[@TF2ReplayMaker]

Same bruh. Been waiting far too long to pull the trigger 🙃

[@mrdeathamore]

Maybe that's just personal taste but my 50$ hybrids sounds much better than Titan S, bought it few days ago. Disappointed.

[@TF2ReplayMaker]

@@mrdeathamore which hybrids in particular are you talking about?

[@mrdeathamore]

@@TF2ReplayMaker FiiO x JadeAudio JH3. They are just more musical and more detailed, at least with my LG V30+. Maybe single DD is not my thing but I just don't enjoy it. The only positives for me about Titan S are simple but interesting design, build quality + good cable. Also, never thought that it can be a thing but my JH3 sounds a little bit more resolving and clear with Titan S cable.

[@rokuth]

FYI: The Olina is using the same DD as the Tanchjim Oxygen. HBB wanted to give it the same tuning as the O2 but Tripowin said they could not do that. I think they were afraid of infringing on any copyrights of Tanchjim may have with the tuning of the Oxygen.

[@budderbear]

China doesn't really have copyrights, and they're probably made in the same factory...

[@diazzsama]

You can't copyright tunning.

[@kze_music]

Waiting for you to review these two IEM's as I really always find your reviews really accurate.... Seems I have something new to save with the Tanchjim Ola I was also looking forward to.

[@mulickzuela3839]

Nice review, I've heard that Olina is almost the same tuning with Oxygen, do they sound alike?... How is Olina compare to Oxygen, Hana2021? I want to know if olina is in same feel with o2 family

[@Gizaudio]

From memory it didn't feel that close as I remember Oxygen and Hana 2021 both having more bass. But I'll test them before review and give a more accurate summary.

[@tonybowen455]

Love the olina. Michael Bruce took a pic on the olina head-fi thread showing that you can cover the vent hole by the nozzle with a filter. Made the sound way better to me, but I loved them before as well. Olina > Timeless imo even ignoring price.

[@mib5633]

wow, even better than timeless?? that sounds mad!

[@jdk_360]

My Olina should be delivered hopefully within the next few days. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the timeless. The timbre was a little strange being a planar. The timeless is really good in the sense that it has a lot of bass and treble but imaging was wonky

[@MrColdchillin81]

@@jdk_360 totally agree the timeless was just ok. But it’s shrill at higher volumes and the imaging absolutely is wonky. And I’m currently really into imaging

[@daronz]

@@jdk_360 so. What's ur impressions after a couple months of use?

[@jdk_360]

@@daronz It’s fantastic. If you think the tuning sound signature is for you it’s absolutely worth it. The wide holographic sounds stage and imaging is hard to beat.

[@sharpnelshots]

Man I really have to wait for other IEMS because damn I'm curious

[@arthurhaywood2184]

I couldn't agree with you more!!! Right now, this is the most frustrating iem I own. I've come the conclusion that the rise from 1k to 3k is just too steep. I find that my personal tolerance tops out at about +7dB max & the Olina is exhibiting a rise of about +12dB. There is also just too much energy from 2k to 6.5k for me. I'm in the process of playing around with cables & tips to see if I can't bring these areas down a bit. Not much success so far...... The Olina is way out of the range of BGGAR's self-professed preferred tuning. I took a chance figuring that he knew what he was doing but so far, it's a thumbs down for me. I am finding that I can deal with them as long as I keep the volume on the low side & use the narrow bore tips. Dynamics & stage depth are good. The best I can say is that at least he saved me from spending $270 on an Oxygen!

[@theqorkyone2512]

don't know if this is correct, but adding the filters supposedly boosts the bass below 60Hz, which might give it a more balanced feel.

[@carminedesanto6746]

Great preview review. Best purchase so far this year 🤷🏻‍♂️..Midnight’s by Crin. Olina is on the way ..for something a little different.👍

[@mandaf2630]

Have you been burning the olina longer? When you hear it for the first time, the separation is still a bit messy and the treble is too aggressive, but after listening to the music for a few hours, the sound is getting softer and more controlled, the technical performance is getting better down to the actual sound quality. This is how I feel

[@ohhhh]

Wouldn't the Olina be good for gaming? Since treble for things like footsteps in games like apex is good? I'm new to the iem game so I'm looking for one that will suit most of my needs, since I DO like hearing vocals alot too for music. I just hope the bass isn't TOO far back

[@Shaiy007]

It's not too far back. Suits me, and I love that bass!

[@saniyatbinsiddique2247]

Didn't you used olina with a warm sounding source?

[@sedraniM]

Coming from Headphones and especially the HD560S combined with a Zen Dac v2 (which i absolutely love!), the Aria often feels tiring after some time for me. I don't enjoy listening to them in the morning when i'm sleepwandering to work. Personally i would love something a little warmer and maybe a little more bassy and less tiring in general. Any recommendations?

[@zhanurdos]

Try blessing 2 or variations from moondrop or s8

[@northerndude8659]

Sounds like Tripowin Mele might suit you. It's bassier, slightly warmer to my ears than Aria and has super comfortable fit. Great out and about/commuting IEM. Best thing is that it only costs around 50 USD.

[@ThNamesAL]

@@zhanurdos umm the blessing 2 and variations aren''t warmer than the Aria though? The blessing 2 dusk maybe

[@ThNamesAL]

The mele is a strong recommendation for that, they are warmer and more laidback than the Arias, I use them a lot when I'm working for hours. If you want something cheaper the Tanchjim Tanya is also a good alternative, but if you have a higher budget something like the Ikko OH2, Legacy 5s, or timeless would also be good considerations for warm sets

[@sedraniM]

@@zhanurdos A very different price bracket! I tried the Variations once, i liked them, but wouldnt call them warm at all!

[@ellibanawa]

torn between these and Tin T3 Plus because i've seen people say T3+ are better than Arias

[@fritzykarl]

They’re not, at least for me. I own both. T3+ has more energy in the mids but it lacks air and sparkle and its bass is quite 2 dimensional and lacks texture. The aria has a more relaxed sound but it has better bass texture and treble extension. Overall I use the T3+ for pop songs, the CRA for rock/metal, and the Aria for everything else. These new Olinas are tempting though. Still waiting for more reviews before I bite the bullet.

[@ellibanawa]

@@fritzykarl thanks! i was trying to look for a good iem as my daily driver and it seems like Arias are a good choice. question though, do you have any upgrade recommendations for the tips/cables/portables that go with it?

[@fritzykarl]

Wide bore tips to open up the sound. I’m not really a believer in cables so just get a pretty looking and durable one. For soundtracks and scores, the Aria is ok. It’s imaging and soundstage are passable. Get something else with a bigger stage and more pinpoint imaging if you want to be wowed.

[@1.9tdilove71]

Anytime, T3 is better than Aria.

There must be something wrong with olinas every review end up saying different things about them. Also the question of the driver and Tuning that should be the same as the oxygen...

I had Fiio FH1s and see a quick review about JH3, they're said the sound signature still v-shaped, maybe you'll more enjoy with the Tin T3+ (I had this and now sold).

[@devote]

I was interested in the Olina but Bass means too much to me(not a huge basshead though). Might get the Mele instead. What would you recommend with good sub bass under $200

[@northerndude8659]

You can cover the vent close to the nozzle on Olina with one of the filters that are included to increase the bass a bit. Mele is a good budget option, but if you want to step it up a bit I would look at the Ikko OH10, it's just a superb set for the money (Can be found for around 150 to 200 USD, even cheaper during sales.) It has fantastic deep bass response and is just a really good set all-around, definitely punches a fair bit above it's price range, imho.

Everything in moderation for me. If it's too much of something I like, it's still too much. Also zero research meant I didn't look at any graphs, didn't watch any reviews, and didn't purposely look at anything about the IEM. What I knew about the IEM was words from friends and random post in the community that happen to cross my eyes.
