I gave the T10 Pro a listen, and honestly, it’s a good IEM for the price! The bass really packs a punch and hits hard, which is awesome. As for the treble and detail, it’s pretty good, but I think it might be a bit behind the Kiwi Ears Quartet. Overall, though, I think it’s a solid pick for anyone looking for good sound without spending a ton!
That depends on the AMP your using, some AMPs sound more or less the same in single ended and balanced. But if you are using an AMP that is known for performing better while using the balanced outputs then it is very nice that the cable can do both! :)
Personally, I think that most of the time, there really isn’t much difference in sound unless you’re using IEMs that scale really well to a balanced output (like planars). The only thing a balanced output is giving you, technically, is more power. This can be a benefit for hard-to-drive IEMs but even if you run your IEMs balanced, the actual sound characteristics of the output doesn’t make a whole lot of difference in sound quality. At best, the output will be perceptively louder which can give the impression of a “better” sound without potential cross-channel interference (which is rare) but most well-design amp/dacs that run an unbalanced output are still really good.
Thanks! I tested the little dongle with headphones like the Hifiman Arya and it could easily get loud enough and didn't sound horrible. But soundwise it can´t match dedicated desktop AMP´s like the Burson Playmate 3 or even the Chord Mojo 2 (they are also quite A LOT more expansive though).

Thank you for your support of ARTTI!
Nice unboxing video
And you have nice voice as well ❤
Can you review kefine klean?
I’m curious about the compatibility. Does the AMP-Dongle work well with smartphones?
Yes! It can be used on any smartphone that has USB-C.
does 4.4mm sound better than 3.5mm ?

Great unboxing! Could you review the performance of the AMP with high-impedance headphones?

Does the package include all the cables and adapters needed for use?
Yes, everything is included! - only the AMP that show in the video would be needed to buy separately.
The T10 Pro looks sleek. Can you test it with some high-resolution audio tracks?
Yes indeed! Most of the time I use Tidal on the max. (192khz)
