HiFi music is all about faithful to the original. To eliminate distortion to an extreme, a brass frame is introduced for better airflow and less harmonic distortion. Your music will be pleasantly bright with clear separation in instrument and vocal. To give the already detailed sound a finer touch, T4 Plus’s resonance chamber is embedded in classy wood, to effectively rid the distortion caused by ear tunnel resonance. Only the finest natural music, delivered to you by T4 Plus.

In a combination of classic and modern aesthetics, T4 PLUS applies a high-grade wood as the faceplate with the resonator embedded in it. The quality wood not only gives it a classy look but also reflects its owner’s exquisite taste. Each bud only weighs 4g, easy to be carried around for work and play. The customized ear tips, made of silicone memory foam, will fit your ear perfectly for a baby-smooth texture and promise you undisturbed listening with outstanding noise cancellation.

Sound quality description

In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.

 

TinHiFi T4 Plus has a near-neutral U-shaped sound signature.

 

Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.

Lows / Bass

The low frequencies of the TinHiFi P4 Plus are quite deep and well extended, and can achieve quite a sense of realism.

 

Drum kicks have plenty of impact and a fair amount of weight, and rumble is of a satisfactory level.

 

The electric bass also sounds black, solid and expansive.

 

It can be said to be well balanced with the midrange in terms of presence, and can be highly recommended for low-frequency enthusiasts.

Mids

The midrange of the TinHiFi T4 Plus is tuned fairly close to neutral. Texture is quite accurate and transparent, and resolution plays enough. It is not outstanding in its price range, but it is an excellent quality midrange.

 

The sound is slightly more angular and gentler on the ear than the TinHiFi C3, which has a nearly identical midrange.

blog.ear-phone-review.com

 

Although there is a significant price difference from the TinHiFi C3, they are nearly identical in terms of audio specifications, and the difference between the C3 and the T4 Plus can almost be summed up simply as a difference in high-frequency structure.

 

The high frequency range of the T4 Plus has more overall energy than that of the C3, allowing for a more subtle and detailed sound with superior brightness and detail. This reduces the relative presence of the midrange, so if you want to focus on midrange, the C3 is recommended. Also, while the difference in performance between C3 and T4 Plus is small, the price difference is quite large, so C3 is generally superior in terms of cost performance. And the C3 slightly outperforms the T4 Plus in terms of performance in the midrange alone.

Highs / Treble

The high frequencies of the T4 Plus are tuned for definition and can extract a considerable amount of detail from the sound source; the individual soundscapes sound even tighter than the C3, but the C3 is slightly better in terms of separation, albeit by a small margin.

 

Offering more detail than the C3, the T4 Plus is considered a better choice for studio monitoring than the C3. However, its extension is inferior to that of the C3, so if range is important, the C3 is superior.

Sound quality general comment
  • Original Sound Fidelity: A+
  • Recommendation: S
  • Personal preference: S

 

The TinHiFi T series, of which the T4 was a relatively highly rated model, has perhaps fed back the results of the T3 Plus and beyond to achieve an even more legitimate studio monitor sound with the T4 Plus. However, it is its sibling, the C3, which is considerably cheaper than the T4 Plus, that threatens its existence.

blog.ear-phone-review.com

 

Despite the price difference, in overall performance, for many, the C3 and TKZK Ouranos will slightly outperform the T4 Plus. However, the T4 Plus is the best of these in terms of sense of detail, making it a stronger contender than the C3 or Ouranos when performance as a studio monitor is important.
