I have these when they first came out and they will sound bad if you are using it from your phone, these take a lot of voltage to sound good so unless you have a good DAP or amp, and don’t want to spend more money, don’t get these.
But if you have a good powerful source and amp, get these, they are cool and sound pretty good, although not as good as my other planar IEMs, isine 20, isine 10 and Unique Melody ME1, but still, they are the planar sound you can get for the money.

Yeah, I have the iSine10 & 20's... finding other tips is an impossible journey haha. I think they sound good without them but it's source dependent on what you get, which is somewhat different than the LCD line that tend to be way more amenable to various sources.
How's the imaging on the BL1 compared to the 20s?

Yeah, the Spinfits are pretty good with the iSines. And it depends on my mood it seems whether I need the cipher cable or not.

i have own these for almost four months now. i have a quick write up on r/headphones. they sound great for the price and are super cool tech. actually having a planar driver sound like this in such a small package really is amazing in this deluge of multi ba iems and hybrid iems. The one thing i will note is these need a ton of power to drive. a dedicated amp is necessary.

bigshelAccording to Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews on YouTube the P1 is the best planar IEM to date. He even debates whether they will be #1 or #2 on his top 10, beating the Moondrop A8 and maybe even the Fearless S8F. He's amazed how Tin have achieved such good tuning on the P1. And early bird price will be $149 on here and Linsoul.

General_PrillaYeah, a few early reviews seem to have them in very high regard and cheaper initially. Seems like the Toneking's are as well thought of too but ... there can be only one (for my wallet that is).

As others have said, give them juice and they sound good. For this price point they are a good buy.

carlsanGot them today, and so far they sound fine out of my Shanling M0, but I need to run it on high gain. I'm sure an amp in the mix would help.

I purchased these a while back on Aliexpress when they had a good price. I really like the sound. Different than my other IEMs. Warm sound but really handle bass and mids well. Treble is a little subdued, but they’re easy to listen to for long sittings and have a unique sound. They do like juice. For the price I paid then, I’m happy. My go to when I need something different. I’m neutral on realities of burn in, but I enjoy these more and more over time. I felt they were dark at the start and was concerned, but after a while I just kept going back to them, now they’re regulars.

The Toneking BL1 is a bit disappointing in my opinion. It's not bad, but it requires EQ to sound balanced as it has a moderately strong emphasis on upper midrange and lower treble which makes them fatiguing. Plus, as others have mentioned, they have no isolation. They're really comfortable, though.

Slater91Fatiguing highs and mids?? Did I get some special edition that doesn't have those? The BL-1's are my EDC's, so much so I let everyone try mine when asked what they are and no one has ever said they didn't like them, only one person didn't and that was because it didn't fit his ears.

BergaukWell, either I did get a flawed model or you got the "right" one! I'd go with the second, though, as others seem to have the same issue as mine. It's Toneking's house sound anyway, they tuned the T4 and the T88K to the same curve, though with some differences. I quite liked the T88K, but the BL1 just didn't sound right to me. I'm glad you like them though!

letsfixitinpostYeah, it's called abalone shell. From other sellers you can also get clear and black.
