Tinhifi T3+ | A basshead's budget favorite

[@KrazyShark]

I was actually looking for a comparison of the T3+ versus the Mele cause they're at similar pricepoints and both look stunning, really cool design. Waiting for my Aria :D been enjoying my BL-03 so far so it's good to know the T3+ are more bass-focused than the others cause i've been liking this warm sound but still fun, exciting listen keeping good mids and treble. Kinda scared that the T3+ won't be sparkly enough though for an exciting listen. Will be waiting for your even more in-depth input later on before i get new ones, thank you sir ! :) Really good vids, helps a lot in my IEM journey, keep it up!

[@KrazyShark]

@Emmanuel Canto unfortunately never had them :L

[@KrazyShark]

@Emmanuel Canto i do like the arias a lot yea, tiny bit lacking in bass however and sometimes the treble is a bit too much on some songs

[@mikafoxx2717]

The T3+ is like a successor to the Blon. It was tuned by HBB, who prefers the blon-like tuning. I do, too.

[@Zytrazz]

@@mikafoxx2717 it was not tuned by HBB. The Mele yes but not the T3 plus

[@mikafoxx2717]

@@Zytrazz I was mistaken, I believe it was the T4 that he tuned. I figured it was this one after hearing it and knowing how similar it was to the Blon 03 tuning that HBB (and I) love so much.

Finally I got mele buddy. Good tuning. Same as pai audio dr2 that costs the same and nobody talks about it. Both 1 dd and both sound very similar. Great. Love them both.

[@charongrayi4863]

Great video👍 Eagerly waiting for your full review and sound demo comparison with mele and other similarly priced iems. At 50$ price point I truly loved the mele's after your sound demo video. Are mele's a huge upgrade over Blon bl03? Is it worth spending the xtra 20$ over bl03 to buy them? Please suggest.

[@dansaudioreviews]

I would pay $20 more for the Mele if for nothing else but the fact that the BL03 broke on me, and the cable wasn’t detachable - so I couldn’t replace the cable and see if that was the issue. I have issues with the BL03 quality control. But even then, I did find the Mele to be more enjoyable too, with sound quality. I find the Mele relaxing to listen to, without ever being fatiguing no matter the track. It isn’t the most detailed, but it seems like it has just a bit more going on than the BL03, from what I recall.

[@pavelsmorodian2777]

Hello, thanks for the video! Tell me how they are in comparison with the Fiio FH1S, is it worth changing?

[@MannyScoot]

These are really amazing......These have very accurate instrument details with clear sounding Bass and clean mids (They are better than the Mele) ......They are power dependent and also tip dependant......I tried them with about over 20+ tip types and the best performance is with YinYoo KBear08 Blue/Yellow...

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

Dan, you are very good, very, very, very good at this. Really great. Excellent channel, and I’m so happy you are doing this. You have a gift for this, and your communication skills are outstanding. But the reviews, the sound comparisons, are just so good. Great content. I have lots of trouble with the mmcx of tin’s products as well. It gets in the way. I don’t use them for this reason. But the cylindrical design, was so dang cool, and unique. I loved it. I’m an artist though, so I really appreciate the design.

[@dansaudioreviews]

Thank you so much for such kind words, really! Aesthetically yea, I like that Tinhifi was doing something different. Functionally I’m a bit thrown off by it though 😞

[@corpsepile8064]

would you say the T3+ and Aria are different enough to have both? and thanks for the great content :)

[@dansaudioreviews]

Oh I don’t know about owning both of those, personally. The Aria has more exciting mids at times, whereas the T3+ is more balanced at times and with more bass. While they do have different strengths, it isn’t enough for me to consider owning both. I would personally just own one or the other, depending on which I prefer to have the strengths of. I think the T3+ may be the safer bet, as it has less fatiguing spots on some tracks. The Aria can, though not too often in my opinion, have some shouty bits. It isn’t major, but it does happen sometimes. Or, I would just get the Timeless or the OH10 😜

[@zacaviad919]

Yess. Right before Black Friday haha Keep up the great work :)

[@faisalnurdin6712]

Coming from CRA, which one you recomend for next upgrade , Aria or T3+ ?

[@alouisschafer7212]

Ive got these today and wow do they sound impressive. The hype is real. Bass is just great and the treble is clean with toned down sibilances. Very pleasant to the ear, some of my other gear produces ear piercing sibilances in comparison. Midrange COULD be improved slightly here and there imo but these sound so nice out of the box with zero mods or EQ that I see no room for big impovement. TinHifi wasted no potential. Best tips out of the box seem to the ones with red inlays, havent tried aftermarket tips yet.

[@nanuk01]

[@kikapa]

hi, I'm from Russia and I really like your videos and your presentation in the analysis of headphones, what do you think about the BQEYZ Spring2 headphones? I can not decide in any way on the choice of in-ear headphones I like to listen to Trance compositions which headphones are suitable in the price segment of 100-150 dollars?

[@dansaudioreviews]

Thank you for the kind words! I always appreciate hearing it, as comments like these keep me going :) Sorry I do not have any experience with those headphones, so I can't speak of them properly. :( For trance and electronic in general, at the price point of 100-150...hmmm...I enjoy Timeless quite a bit, though they are $220 (or $200) depending on the deal at the time. Really anything mentioned in this video will do comparably well, apart from maybe the Mele. The Mele excels more in rock and guitar with male vocals. My really favorite stuff for electronic tends to be higher priced, but at this price you have several very decent options in this video. They'll all get the job done.

Finally received my Tin Hifi t3 plus, i really love the tuning! I did change the tips to audiosense s400 tips, it helped a lot with the bass. The only thing that bugs me is that all the singing appears to happen inside my head. That's not the case with the Etymotic er2se that i also own, that set projects all the music in front of me.

[@dansaudioreviews]

Yea the etymotic are pretty great as a balanced and neutral-like presentation.

[@matusjurcik6974]

I wouldnt say that the mele have elevated lower mids. Thats the area which separate the midrange from the bass in the mele so that thickness comes exclusively from the bass. To my ears the lower mids are little bit subdued in comparison to the fiio fh3 for example. The upper mids are little bit elevated though :). Nic vid as always, iam looking forward to the sound demo 😊 🔥🔥🔥.

[@malfunkt]

T3+ looks like the first Tin that I'm interesting in. But more importantly, we will finally get to hear about your BL-05S that's been hanging out without much fanfare through your videos. IMO the 05S has an unassuming character, but still a bit juicy and for the most part really easy to get along with. It's stayed in my collection, and I only might replace it with a HZ Sound Heart Mirror which has a near identical mid-through-high end but more linear flat, tight bass (and hopefully not as shallow of nozzles which can be an issue with the 05S). Heart Mirror also comes with a better cable/accessories than the 05S.

[@callending]

I own the original T3 and love it, though I find it sometimes needs to be EQ'd to suit certain music - it's not what I'd deem an ideal "all-arounder", though I'm beginning to think that's more wishful thinking than reality in the budget segment of IEMs. I'm contemplating some sets in the $300-$500 range for go-anywhere application, but having purchased the Hifiman Sundara for $300 it's hard to justify spending more than that on musical earplugs. I have the T3+ on order as an alternate-enhancement for the stock T3 for my library needing a more balanced output or enhanced bass. To that end, thank you for offering up a preview regarding the overall sound impressions relative to some other sets. Nice to hear the bass isn't as neutered in this particular Tin set compared to their previous offerings.

[@flaviovercetti]

Tin HiFi T3 Plus or Moondrop Aria, which is better?

[@dansaudioreviews]

Demo comparison video coming soon! But I’ll say I enjoy both equally, I think, for different reasons. Aria has energy in the mids at times that the T3+ doesn’t. The T3+ though sounds to have a better overall balance and less fatigue.

So should I get these if I’m not a basshead? I’m not getting the Arias. Too many supposed QC issues for the price.

[@dansaudioreviews]

Hit or miss then for you. The bass isn’t ridiculous or anything, but it does feel like a thicker low end presence than other popular gear at this price. I consider myself a bright biased person myself, I prefer airier sound or thought I did, but the T3+ is one of those low end emphasized sets that does it in a way that interests me. It isn’t my favorite for it, I mean I would prefer just getting the OH10 Obsidian. So to answer your question, I don’t know for sure if you’ll like it. I did.

[@tgordon681]

How is the noise isolation on the T3+? Do you have any others to compare the isolation with?

They form a pretty good seal with my ears. So the isolation is on the better side of what I’ve experienced compared to the competitors at this budget/rank. The only other one on my list, in the B ranks that have as good if a seal, is the Legacy 2.

Mele or this for pop/soft rock music will be better?

[@dansaudioreviews]

Mele does very well with rock. Especially when you have guitars with male vocals. People love the timbre of them. The Mele have a rich bad strong presence and male vocals that make their way through nicely and not recessed. But for me, I miss having a bit of the rest of the music that the set brings down. They have a unique character for mellowing out spots that can be harsh, making them a universal library player with no fatigue, but they don’t bring me the excitement I want on some tracks that play into the areas that are dialed down on the tuning. People love them, and I really dig what they’re doing, but they aren’t going to be the best for all rock and pop. It’ll really come down to the master/track production. Generally, yes, they do well on most rock, and they do well on pop.

[@ytichris]

​@@dansaudioreviews That is an awesome description, thank you so much! Could you match Mele to any other popular IEM, even older? Maybe they are similar iBasso IT-03 (I love them), VSonic GR-07 (I hated them), maybe some KZ? I still have KZ-ZSR which are perfect for my taste :)

[@dansaudioreviews]

@@ytichris not really sure if anything I’ve tried sounds like the Mele. Bass and male vocal focused…hmm. I also don’t entirely have the broad experiences of others quite yet with a huge catalogue of reviewed gear. I’ve tried a handful of gear that is bass leaning, but many have too much upper bass and bleed into the mids. The Mele stand out because they don’t do this. But they do dial down certain areas, like drums from what I’ve heard. Their unique fingerprint isn’t similar enough for me to say something I’ve heard sounds like them. I hope this helps 🤷🏻‍♂️

Perhaps I just need balanced cables to reveal its true nature, but off single-ended on my EarStudio ES100 I find it needs to be played at considerably higher volumes. My Fiio FH5 are much easier to drive and on balanced kinda decimate the Hana. Guess it's unfair to have expected better performance out of a 1DD vs a hybrid IEM?

[@dansaudioreviews]

In general, every one of these single dynamic driver IEM’s are only getting me as far as a B+ for enjoyment. None of them are pushing me over the edge to A/S. It seems like that missing piece of enjoyment for me does come a bit down to those tribrids having greater detail across the tuning. Don’t get me wrong, a B is still very enjoyable, but when I have other stuff that goes beyond…I can’t go back.

[@TF2ReplayMaker]

@@dansaudioreviews EXACTLY! That's the thing. I think my ears have been spoiled by the technical performance of the FH5 coupled with its amazing sound signature. So anything lesser than that just isn't up to standard for me even if they are "objectively" enjoyable IEMs with unproblematic tunings. The only 1DD that truly surprised me so far is the BL03. It's not perfect, but the price-to-performance ratio is WAY off the charts. I'm going to see if balanced brings something else out of the Hana... If it doesn't it might be time to sell the beauty

@@dansaudioreviews how about the aria? Do they require same amount of power to drive on phone? I dont think i will ever invest on DAC/DAP Im still wondering which one to buy since i dont know whether i want more bass or not (my current iem is re400 with little to no bass xD) Thanks in advance

[@dansaudioreviews]

@@JovanKK I haven’t needed separate power for literally any IEM on my ranking list. That’s just me anyway. I listen to music loud, and I still didn’t have any issue with my gear playing off the iPhone. I can’t speak to android devices or other models though.

[@JovanKK]

@@dansaudioreviews I see Thanks a lot for the answer Dan

[@JovanKK]

@@dansaudioreviews Sorry on the second thought, how would they fare if being played with mid level volume? Usually i play my songs at around 50-60% volume, so (might be) not too loud by ur standard Thanks Dan

Niceee!

You mention your "A list". What is the most budget friendly IEM on your "A list?"

[@dansaudioreviews]

Check the link in the description. I got them all listed for everyone to see 😊 Off-hand, I would say Mele and Aria are the two most budget friendly IEM’s close to A. Otherwise, Timeless at $200 is a SS for me (best if the best for my personal enjoyment). That’s pretty budget friendly. You’re not going to find much in the A range, if any, for that price.

I got ear pain after listening to T3 +, it is large and uncomfortable for me

[@bfkc111]

Aria forward?? Wtf. Their sound signature is very recessed, and it annoys me how this main point of all is always drowned.

Why are your Stax in a zip loc baggie?

[@dansaudioreviews]

They must not have dust or it is bad for the drivers

[@chethammer]

@@dansaudioreviews I thought those weren't made anymore, but it appears that you can get them new.

Giving a dislike just for the MEMES. Thank you KZbin. Great Review.

[@dansaudioreviews]

Thank you? Lol

Bro stop using hdr

The T3 Plus is by no means a bassheads favorite. After a few hours of burn in the bass settles and is in no way as dominant as before. Your title is misleading.

[@dansaudioreviews]

Well I guess it’s all relative. Coming from the other budget competitors, like Aria, Mele, etc., these sounded like they had more impact 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@iliketohideincloset]

​@@dansaudioreviews Absolutely. The T3+ has decent punch and slam and isn't neutral for sure. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed your review. Thanks for the reply.

[@martinsVcm]

How would you compare the qoa vesper to the Mele or T3+?

[@dansaudioreviews]

Haven’t tried it! Can’t say

[@martinsVcm]

@@dansaudioreviews thanks! I've one Vesper and I'm curious to see if the difference makes it worth it for me to get the T3+ or Mele. By the curve, Mele and Vesper should remind one another. Not sure about the T3+ though. Happy New year!
