I don't get why the T2's have been forgotten, it's still a amazing set of cheap iems for smooth listens. And they're pretty great for gaming too,as they have a lifted treble wich push the details a little more forward than on the majority of cheap iems, and have a decent imaging and soundstage for iems. These are criminally underrated nowdays.
Fair enough
Sorry for the quality of the image, I'm not good with photography
What’s in the cup?
Coffee and milk
Thats a lot of milk lol
Yep. I've stopped to drink soda, so sometimes I make my coffee quite sweet
> Yep. I've stopped to drink soda
Good on you!
Way to go, now visit r/hydrohomies
IAMA American tea addict. Ask me anything

When I stoped drinking it I really missed the fizzy, I started drinking fizzy water and it really helped - if you find yourself missing it
Actually, i can't stand to drink soda anymore, it feels so "heavy". I much prefer water and coffee.
Username checks out :)
they are not forgotten, just a legend of a different era of IEM.
I think the idea that we are in a new modern era of IEMs is mostly marketing gobledygook.
It's designed to try to get people to buy newest stuff at the highest cost they will ever be. Even though, this stuff doesn't have software or batteries and the real value proposition is buying stuff that didn't come out in the last year
But the algorithm, and the affiliate links don't reward that time of judicious consumer approach.
So we have to pretend that we're in some golden age and you have to buy stuff that came out in the last three months.
mmm bro the salnotes zero, chu, cadenza etc. literally costs less (?) what you don't understand of what i'm trying to say is the t2 were considered the best for its price a couple years ago, but today, 20$ IEMs are better than what it was a couple years ago, even better than the t2. so don't think too shallow and think that we want the newest things with the highest cost, it may be just you that think that way.
Would you buy a iPhone 5 or 14? Wouldn’t the newer models be better?
Almost any iem gets forgotten in a matter of months these days, the market evolves so fast to the point where there are iems for cheaper than the T2 that better adhere to common target curves or preferences, which could explain why the T2 isn’t as relevant these days
i think you’ve got some coffee in your milk
I don't really think they have been forgotten. At least not by regular users. They have been forgotten by YouTubers because they need to sell you the newest stuff from the same company.
They create a fallacy then all of a sudden IEM tech has never been better and you have to buy stuff made in the last year or you're missing out
I think the opposite is true. I think the best value proposition is buying something like tin t2. Would you can now off and find on discount.
It's just that they're still at $50 on most parts of the world, that's why the other newer and cheaper releases with a neutral-leaning tuning get more attention such as the Salnotes Zero and Moondrop Chu.
If you value the build quality and deem it worth the extra monnies, then the Tin T2 might be good for you.
Tin T2 user here and I love my set despite its flaws.
I also have the T2s and the same SpinFits but yet the fit is bad for me. But most headphones have bad fit for my weird ears.
The real concern here is that coffee.

I have some t2's and the mmcx connector relegated them to the closet. My bluetooth hooks use 2 pin and my upgrade cable is also 2 pin.
if you want a t2 with 2 pin getg the dlc version, people said it is good
I use my t2s for working out and cardio, I use my 600s for gaming. The t2s are awesome. What kinda drink is that?
What are you gonna play?
I can only imagine if i play the same game as you are playing
The last of us part II
The good old 2017 days. I still have mine but they've just been outclassed by Moondrop and Salnotes Zero.

I don't think that the t2's can be enjoyed without a cable. Unless you "Enjoy" the feeling of wearing iems without playing music
