Tin Audio T2 fresh off the box impressions.

Early Impressions 

Always on the lookout for promising audio offerings, I chanced upon hearing of the Tin Audio company which had me thinking about some metal oriented design language and after seeing the Tin Audio T1 before confirmed such assumption, they did indeed offer the metallic look on their audiophile products. Little did I know that a series of fortunate events would have me agreeing to review their latest offering, the Tin Audio T2. 

Unboxing the Tin Audio T2 was a pleasure right after removing it from the glossy white rectangular cardbox package it had. I allowed my girlfriend do the unboxing and heard her exclaim "there's a book in here" after seeing the blue flip flap container it had, seeing the fascinated expression on her face had me saying that Tin Audio nailed this aspect of the product. 

The Tin Audio came installed with stock blue foam ear tips. The metal build of the T2 had my personal approval and not only did it have a premium feel, the minimalist design language also provided a non eye-catching look but once observed, is a looker. The cable was supple and had a good round braid on it and no kinks here and there.

I paired the Tin Audio fresh off the box with the Opus 1 playing the Fleetwood Mac album(16/44). It offered an easy listening experience showcasing a balanced sounding signature, the instruments being played were articulate and defined which aided in the imaging doing a good job. The soundstage didn't offer a spacious feel yet not intimate as well. Highs and Lows were synchronizing well with each not giving more than that is desired from them so wait a bit there you bass and trebleheads. I'll have this running on different players and do a complete review after the burn-in process, up to you if you believe it or not but this is a dual dynamic setup so let's have it out of the way. Stay tune!

Audio Technica AD900x Realview

Intro   Launched 5 years ago, the open back AD900x headphone is smacked right in between Audio Technica’s High Fidelity series spearheaded by the new ADX5000. With all the contenders in the mid-level open-backed headphones market from the Brooklyn built Grado’s, German built Sennheiser’s to the New York based Hifiman’s. Is the Audio Technica AD900x headphone still even relevant in 2018? Let’s find out. Packaging and Build Quality   The packaging was a simple white box with “AIR” printed on the front and opening the front flap reveals the headphones, there’s only a 6.3mm adapter included, would have loved a travel bag. The AD900x weighs 265g and made of plastic all over except for the honeycomb aluminum casing, the cable is wrapped in matte rubber and retains the initial tangle once removed from the box, it also an OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable to note. It’s fairly long which lead me to shorten it and also change the plugs to a standard gold-plated 3.5mm plu...

Geek Wold GK3 Realview

Image
Intro A few months ago, a new budget tier IEM entered the market and made quite a wave in the SEA region. It went by the name of Geek Wold with their debut IEM product, the GK3. The GK3 uses 3 dynamic drivers which is a feat in itself, so far the only triple dynamic IEM I can think of is the new Unique Melody 3DD-Ti which is priced almost 60 times the GK3, let that sink in. The GK3 also has a 20Hz-20KHz FR and 8ohms impedance which is indeed designed for portable device usage. The Geek Wold GK3 can be purchased for $19.99 at Penon Audio which I would like to thank as well for lending the review unit in exchange for an honest review. Packaging and Build Quality The Geek Wold GK3 came in a black matte cardboard box which had the Brand and Model printed in gold with the tagline "born for extreme audiophile", interesting though, let's see if it is indeed intended for the GK3 or for Geek Wold's aspirations. Underneath the box is the IEMs specifications...
