INTRODUCTION

For the longest time, the T2 was the face of Tin HiFi. The upstart of the chifi world that seemingly came out of nowhere just to absolutely dominate the sub-$50 price bracket, and even today still remains as one of (if not the only) properly “neutral” IEMs in its price range.

Tin HiFi has had limited success with its subsequent releases, with the T2 Pro criticised for being too bright, the T3 ignored for being too similar to the T2, and as for the P1… while there was a massive hype surrounding it for a while, it fizzled out as quickly as it was built up. Didn’t help that I wasn’t the biggest fan of it either.

Now we have the T4. Remembering that Tin HiFi got its real start from 2 DDs, evolving into a hybrid and then a micro-planar driver, now it seems they have gone back to the fundamentals. Just a single dynamic driver, much like their forgotten T1.

I received some pre-production units before this for feedback, just like the P1. But unlike back then, I had no real feedback to give. Obviously I could nitpick till the end of time if I wanted to, but I didn’t really have any suggestions or solutions to re-tune the T4.

That should be real telling of what’s to come.
