Customer Reviews
Excellent tonal balance, very crisp and lively mids. Most of the complaints I have come across is that the headphones get tired of high frequencies, however, as in the etymotic er4, with tri-flange tips and deep fit, the highs are clean and crisp without tiring. In terms of sound, the headphones compete with more expensive models (2 or even 3 times) and in terms of sound saturation they begin to yield only to models over a thousand dollars. Very cool model! Respect!
Compared to all my other IEM's (Blon-03, Tin P2 Plus, Theiaudio Legacy 2, new Triptowin Mele) the P1 wins hands down as the best sounding and most detailed IEM in my growing collection. The detail retrieval and separation that the P1's offer sets them in a league above the others I currently own. The mids and highs on these are awesome and I can hear details I haven't heard before. Low end is neutral and flat. You can hear everything in the low end but it doesn't slam so if you are bass head, these might not be for you. They are less efficient than my other IEM's and need a decent amplifier if you want them to shine.
In normal use, I use a FIIO BTR5 (balanced output in high output mode) to drive them and I get a relatively flat response from them (which is good). I add a bit of low end EQ with the BTR5 to tweak them to exactly what I like. For critical listening I have a Schitt Audio Modi DAC and Vali tube headphone amp. Using these the P1's light up with a magical audio quality that I have not heard before. Simply astounding. No need for bass enhancement and the sound is sooo smooth and silky while still retaining all the detail. My jaw hit the floor when I first listened to them with the Vali. Literally the best audio quality I have heard EVER.
As others have commented, these IEM's benefit from a good headphone amp that can drive them properly. From my experience, a tube amplifier is the bomb for these. Driving the P1's directly from my phone or PC leaves them sounding quite thin and weak. My other IEM's sound much better than the P1's when driven directly with my phone, but connect them to the BTR5 or Modi/Vali and they are suddenly way WAY better than the others.
I highly recommend these for anyone who has the right equipment to drive them properly.
Awesome iem! Best bought with a good headphone amplifier.
The Tin P1 surpassed my expectations, and I would recommend them to others.
TinHiFi P1 are high quality earphones that are comfortable to wear, despite my ear canals being small. The sound quality is faithful. The only flaw is the color of the cable: pink is really ridiculous and unfortunately it is not possible to choose it when ordering. A color more liked by some women, but for me as a man it is unpleasant to wear. Apart from the color, the most important thing is, of course, the sound quality: impeccably neutral. Highly recommended.
Fantastic sound when powered adequately. If I'm using phone or portable Dap I can often max out the volume and the p1's are enjoyable but lacking a bit of punch. If using a portable amp with phone or Dap the P1's really shine. I have tiny ear canals also so the small form of them gives me a really solid fit with small tips. I did switch to some New Bee tips size small as I have used them previously and like the slight tacky feel. I find the bass really enjoyable and any harsh high easily softened with some EQ adjusting. Can't wait for the P2's!
Let's get the most important part out of the way
POWER REQUIREMENT
Your Chinese USB dongle or dragonfly black isn't going to power this properly. Throw those in the trash, where it belongs, and buy an amp that can actually power something. You want to have an amp that can output at least 100mw@32ohms and has at least 90 SINAD.
There is a huge difference when using these IEM's with an amp that's capable. If you think these sound thin, you either don't know what you're doing or won't buy a 100$ amp because numbers scare you. These IEMs have been a blessing to the audiophile community as it has shown which reviewers have subpar equipment. If you see someone complaining about these about how they sound, you know who to avoid reading now.
SOUND QUALITY
You get that planar bass as you expect. It extends well and is properly flat. Mids are forward, present, and intimate. Highs on these are better than expected as sibilance isn't that much of a concern. These IEMs sound tonally correct and are more acoustically coherent than most multi BA IEMs.
DETAIL, SOUNDSTAGE, & SEPERATION
These are the only complaint that I have about the P1s. For planars, they are not as detailed or wide as others can offer. Don't get it twisted, these are more way detailed than your T2's or BL03's. Fortunately, the separation these offer rival some giants like the SE846.
RECOMMENDATION?
Do I recommend these to the average consumer? No.
For audio enthusiasts who actually have capable amps? Absolutely.
they dont need an amp. they need eq. they are about 10db too low under 125hz. and they need a girly headband to keep them pressed into the ears because like all other stupid IEMs they just wont stay sealed and will slide out of place if you move your head. this type of IEMs also irritate the ears and not comfortable to wear for long.
The highs are pretty good, clear and fast, same as any planar driver. ill probably return them tomorrow.
Pros:
1. Detailed and clear.
2. Highs are great. Not piercing.
3. Great sound with EQ.
4. Beautiful design.
Cons:
1. Poor quality MMCX connector. It WILL go bad FAST. I have 2 units (1 replacement), both have the same issue.
2. Thin sound out of the box. Need EQ, good DAC & amp.
3. Power-hungry.
4. Poor fit, poor isolation.
5. Cable tangled easily.
I will not buy Tin Hifi products anymore until they fixed quality issues.
As a semi-pro audio engineer and IEM/headphone enthusiast, I gotta say these are my favorite IEMs so far.
I have used several professional monitoring systems, and have many points of reference both headphone and studio monitor/speaker.
To my ears, this set (while not necessarily neutral) does a better job with detail retrieval than even my HD-650s, and is an essential reference point IMO.
Pros:
The tuning in this set is perfect to my ears, just the right amount of bass, punchy, refined and fast.
The mids/vocals are crystal clear, and give me the sense that I am hearing it in person, no driver in-between us.
The highs are top tier, the most detail in an IEM I've used, and BEAUTIFUL for acoustic guitar etc.
Not too fatiguing.
This is all true- IF you have a really good amp.
Cons-
You need a strong amp. Most handheld DACs will not give these the power they need.
Isolation is poor, good enough for a coffee shop but not for an airplane or car ride.
The included cable is just terrible- definitely replace it.
They do scratch very easily.
