Fit
The fit is good.
Connection quality
I tested it by connecting it to a Cayin N6II/E02 with AAC.
I don't know because I haven't been in crowds, but it is stable in the home. Distance tolerance is excellent, and the connection is seamless and intact even at a distance of about 5 meters. The connection was maintained and music playback continued, although the connection tended to be interrupted by obstructions. However, occasional sound skips and interruptions do occur.
There may be a small amount of background noise, but most people probably won't notice it.

Active noise canceling performance
The ANC performance of the Sudio T2 is standard for its price range. The midrange, which has the greatest auditory impact, is relatively well blocked, but the low frequency blockage is low, so that, for example, the sound of a subway train is hardly quieted at all. However, because of the relative strength of the low-frequency range, it is difficult to hear the mid-frequency range due to masking, and some people may think that the perceived sound insulation is high.

Sound quality description
The following review was tested on a FiiO M15 with an SBC connection.
The overall sound of the Sudio T2 is close to aural neutrality, offering a near-natural texture, well-connected midrange, natural localization, and relatively high recording fidelity. Because of its overall wide U-shaped structure, the midrange tends to sound a bit thin, so it lacks fullness and may be a bit unsuitable for listening to acoustic sources.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
The Sudio T2's low frequencies reach deep enough to reproduce EDM bass lines well.
The bass is tight and hierarchically emphasized, but the rumble and thump are suppressed, making it a bit less lifelike. For this reason, the low frequencies are more suited to electronic sounds such as EDM than to live sources.
The bass is agile and rhythmic, and the rhythm of the drum sound sounds sporty and the steps are clear and enjoyable. There is enough weight to give the sound a sense of impact, but at the same time there is an agility that makes the body feel light and nimble, giving the music a supple feel.
Mids
As far as the midrange is concerned, this brand knows how to build midrange.
The center of the midrange sounds a bit deep, but it is bright enough and the texture is quite natural.
The midrange and high frequency area are really well crafted, and the cymbals are beautifully lush and appropriately resilient, creating an organic musical expression that is full of live sound.
Consonants are also handled quite well, and although the sibilance is a bit strong, the sharpness is well controlled. The "s" consonant is the only one where the sting could be a concern. As I could tell from the frequency response, there is an atmosphere of mastery of how to create a sense of air in the midrange in earphone design.
Despite the accuracy of the texture, the overall atmosphere is somewhat luminous and less full, so while it sounds artificial, the impressive clarity will give the impression of high resolution.
Highs / Treble
The highs are well balanced with the mids and not too out of tune, but a bit bright and not too extended.
The highs sound relatively natural, well connected and smooth. The glossiness is a bit strong, and some people may find the sound glassy, but the build is a bit subdued, so you won't get a hard impression.
If I have a complaint about the Sudio's tuning, it is the lack of this sense of construction, an element that can easily lead to the piano's lack of hardness. Listening to G. Gould's "Goldberg Variations," for example, the lack is immediately apparent, as the piano sounds a bit angular and rubbery, making Gould's delicate touch sound a bit dim. This piece is supposed to be like a quietly gushing fountain, serene and seething with power, but listening to it on the T2, the core and backbone of the vital sound is lackluster and uninteresting.
Sound quality general comment
- Original sound fidelity: A
- Recommendation: A+
- Personal preference: A+
The Sudio T2 is recommended in this price range in terms of sound quality. While maintaining good overall balance, texture, and localization, emphasis is evident in the lows and highs, and music overall sounds a bit more dynamic.
Rock and EDM sounds fast and enjoyable, with agile low frequencies that sound hierarchical and clear. Yet the sting, sharpness, and other ear-piercing elements are well contained, and the overall music is smooth with few unpleasant peaks.
Overall, I think the tuning is rather well done.
