Great set of IEMS, extremely well balanced, as all things should be.
I spent the first 20 years of my career in the high-end consumer and professional audio industries. So I was constantly surrounded by mono-block amplifiers as heavy as a Volkswagen, speakers that can cure constipation, and speaker wire that could be at home in a bridge suspension. But now I'm in my 50's, my whole music collection is on my phone and it's all about convenience. Sitting in a room in front of a music system critically listening for sound stage and dynamics? Yeah, not so much these days. In the mean time, I had almost forgotten how good quality audio can sound. For the money, these T2s are a revelation. Of course nothing is perfect. But at this price, I could not ask for anything more. The sound is open yet controlled. High frequencies are a bit forward but not shrill even when pushed hard. Bass is extended, solid and tight. And the all-important mid-frequencies where the unforgiving human voice resides is a bit on the warm, lush side yet loses none of its detail. One note of caution: Try ALL of the included ear tips. They sound excellent in my ears with the factory installed foam units, but they are too tight in my ears. I was shocked when I tried a smaller set and all of the heft of the bass was gone and the midrange became hollow and nasal, the way a bad horn-loaded driver does. Upon inspection, I found that the tips not only vary in outside diameter, but also have varying openings. The difference in sound is HUGE. So try them out and see which ones sound best in your ears. In the recording studio, the best near-field monitors allow the engineer to "hear into" the mix. They are precise and unforgiving. But ironically, they don't really sound great for casual listening. These Tin Audio T2 IEMs are a good compromise. They offer the listener enough nuance to hear the intricacies in the layers of a recording. However, they are not overly analytical or annoying - like that one member of your family that's quick to point out every one of your flaws at holiday gatherings. In the end they deliver an articulate representation of the music and remain engaging with out fatiguing the listener.

Since it’s not free shipping why would we buy it from here instead of Amazon?
It's still more expensive on amazon for the "pro" variant anyway at the time of you making this post and me responding (4-24-21, 4-28-21)

KZ MMCX silver cable from AliExpress, available from a lot of sellers from under $10. The TRN one has pre-shaped plastic cable, while KZ has memory wire, whatever you prefer. There's a link in case you're interested.

lmao couldve just got them in 2 days with prime for 15 dollars more. I think 15 dollars is a pretty good deal to save over a month of shipping time and they aren't even fucking shipped yet.

standard from massdrop. expect 6 months wait for everything. in the day and age of amazon prime with same day shipping drop needs to step things up or make prices 5% of retail. the wait just isnt worth 15% off.

I understand the world is upside down but honestly.... the independent carrier (Newgistics) has my product since May 2, with no updates on the tracking information. No way to contact them as they want you to contact DROP... DROP doesn't answer when contacted and if they do is just to offer you a cancel. A hamster wheel of a process that just leads me to believe that the tracking information that is provided is all false. How can Newgistics say they have picked up my product coming from China - meaning it's in the US and keep it for almost 2 weeks before sending it to the USPS. Pure BS. This is not a rant about not getting my product on time... it's a rant about the poor customer service and lack of responsibility and care by DROP to represent their customer base. Honestly, DROP can't do anything to improve their communications after the purchase has been made. It's a not a C-19 thing, it's just poor management.

CuadradoFeeling like I'm being strung along. The last tracking update said: 2020-05-23 01:58 GREENWOOD, IN 46143, Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item -> Your item departed a shipping partner facility at 1:58 am on May 23, 2020 in GREENWOOD, IN 46143. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date This, after the package supposedly being in the country since May 7th. Why have they failed to hand off the package to USPS? This episode has put me off Drop.

CuadradoWell, they finally arrived. Delivered June 12. Envelope had 3 different shipping tags overlapped and no visible post marks or any date to show origin or processing dates. Not the traditional Chinese white packaging with customs information either and shipping labels all over the place. Just to size - plain yellow bubble envelope with product box inside. Whatever the shipping & distribution process is, DROP would benefit from getting a consultation on how to better the process. DROP does so well with collaborations and design to market efforts that it is a shame that they run out of energy once the manufacturer gets the order and it's in their hands. To be fair about the product, the IEMs are actually really nice with a good overall sound. They come with multiple ear tips and the blue ones are just like complyfoam tips if those work for you. Again, proof of the good collaboration. The earpieces have a solid feel but a bit heavy and the cords snap nicely into place. The cord is a bit strange but doesn't seem to tangle as much and there's not much of the scratchy sound (not sure what the technical term is) when the cord rubs on something. I think that the drivers will get better with the use. Overall solid feel with a good sound quality. Overall really happy with the product but unhappy with the DROP experience.

Just received an update via email. 'Due to an unexpected delay, these orders may ship later than the original estimated ship date. Our apologies for any inconvenience. If we find that the drop is going to be delayed by more than 30 days, we will let you know.' Thanks Drop, this is the second item that has been delayed for me in the past month

I've heard a bunch of IEMs in this price range, from KZ to TRN. The Tin T2s are still my favorite. OK, I do prefer the new T2 Pro, BUT I think some people might prefer the originals. Here's why:
The T2 Pro has more treble, and with silicone tips I think it's overly sibilant. The sibilance is solved with foam tips, but if you don't like foam tips (they need replacing more often), I think the T2 Pro is not a good option. I also think the silicone tips give a better seal and so the original T2s feel bassier than my T2 Pro. Not a big difference in the bass, but noticeable.

Also, I think the T2's "lack of bass" is pretty overstated. The bass isn't as emphasized as on similar headphones in this price (KZ, TRN, Final), BUT it's still pretty solid bass. Headphones like Grado SR80, AKG K1000, and even Sennheiser HD600s are legit light on bass. The T2 has more bass than all of them. They're just not bass cannons like some other cheap IEMs.

It’s a little frustrating to see this active again when the orders from the prior month’s drop are still delayed without any explanation. Are the orders from this new drop going to have to wait even longer than we are?

AdamJeyWouldn't surprise me at all if we need to wait a full extra month. I'd advise closing it out and ordering elsewhere if you're considering joining this drop.

One of the silly things that bugged me about the Tin Audio T2 is that it comes with two blue foam tips.
I think it would have been more functional and pleasing to the eye if the right one was red. So I did it on my own pair.
There, much better. :-)
