Einsear T2 Review – Another Cheap Gem

Einsear T2—yet another low-profile, cheap gem. A very refined tuning; general balanced, with slightly enhanced, generally well controlled bass which shows some subbass rumble, and smooth, detailed high end without peakiness or sibilance—these have none of the stridency or glare of their >$20 peers. Tonally near-neutral; these resemble the Urbanfun, with perhaps a touch more warmth; the Urbanfun Hifi are bigger-sounding and do a better job with voices, but the Einsear T2’s  overall resolution and clarity is still very good. Soundstage seems about average; instruments are nicely separated. Build quality is impressive for the price, though the cloth cable is very microphonic. Isolation is below average and they’re somewhat harder to drive; comfort is good. Many less obsessive folks would have trouble justifying spending more once they hear these Einsear T2.

    Agree so much with your review. So packed and so Informative. Like you said, less obsessive like me found it hard to spending more money after hear those.

    Thought, after saying that I there also some problem with Einsear. The separation is very messy in busy track (too bad I usually listen to music with lot of instruments) . Did you have any recommendations that have Einsear T2 sound with good separation. I really love sound signature, I try bqeyz, kz but I comeback to my einsear t2 anytime.

    The Einsear T2 and The DZAT DF-10 were my first Chifi shipment. Really great stuff.

    Lower mids went missing sometimes with the Einsear T2. Everything else was good, especially for a 1 DD IEM.
