đŸ”¶ Tin P1 - Planar IEM

Cool I love my p1’s too and welcome to HFGF :smiley:
Getting a good fit with the P1’s is paramount even more so than with some other sets, I use spins too which work best for me, switching the iFi Xbass boost on on my Micro is the icing on the cake when it comes to this set imho
Enjoy :+1:

Enjoy your P1’s, I know I do.

On tips I’ve used large Spinfit 145 and there were good/great but couple of weeks ago I decided try out AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC. The seal you get is weirdly very strong and grippy which pushes the base response up a level. They get my recommendation over the Spinfits now.

The bass from the P1’s will come out more with use. I burned mine in over 2 days straight and after that found the bass much more pronounced.

I looked these tips up - I would have to order them from Linsoul because the price at Amazon.ca are stupidly expensive!

I may have to give them a try, thanks for the tip
no pun intended.

Just scored a set of these for $70. They are very, very comfortable with foam tips. These completely disappear when you wear them, which I can’t say about the FH3 and definitely not the Starfield I tried before.

Out of the box they’re pretty meh for chi-fi, with that typical weird voicing. However I bought them exclusively for desktop use for times where I don’t feel like using over the ears or need more sound isolation, so I always planned for them to paired with a PowerDAC, which I just got today. Wow just about covers how they sound. $70 well spent. Very impressive. Without the PowerDAC I could only listen to female vocals on them, as males just sounded off. With the plugin they just about sound perfect with most genres.

Not a fan of having to use my phone to control the volume, though, but I’ll live with it at -27.5 and lower it in software whenever possible. I mostly listen to Youtube and Spotify anyway.

I won’t even mess with the EQ until I get a few more days of listening, plus I’m just not that great (or interested) in fiddling with EQs.

Haven’t dug these out in a while. Test driving my new Topping L30/E30 stack. Oh my
 I get the whole needing a lot of power thing now!!! It’s as if the sound has filled out. +9db on, volume 11 o clock :ok_hand:

New lease of life into these for sure.

Oh yes, I totally agree with you!

These ifi DAC / Amp’s are perfect for the P1, which I actually wanted to sell again because I wasn’t convinced of its quality.

The iDSD signature has worked wonders in my entire in-ear portfolio.

The P1 in normal mode, Bit Perfect filter, iE match off, xBass on and 3D on, plugged into the 4.4 mm connector;
Absolutely fantastic!!

But that’s iDSD is also great with a CA Andromeda in ECO mode, Bit Perfect filter, iE match Ultra sensitivity, xBass off, 3D on plugged into the normal connection;
Pure enjoyment!!

Is it a good deal?

Not really. I see them around that price pretty often. If you want them now it’s fine. If you can wait you might find a better price and If you don’t this kind of price will not be hard to find again.

I’ve seen the price go down to around $ 98.99 during black Friday or any similar sale days, but if you can’t wait until the next discount come, then that price is fine.

They hit 69 this black friday for used open box. sadly sold out before i could get a pair. https://www.headconcert.com/product-page/tin-hifi-p1

Hi,
i am just wondering

How power hungry are these?
I just bought Ibasso DC03 with 80mW @32Ohms (plenty enough for 1more tridents).
Do you think it would be fine to run these?

Welcome.

Nope lol. It needs like 400 mw minimum
 power greedy iems.

Yep I run mine at almost at 950 mW @ 32 Ohm on my iFi Micro ie normal power mode.

They certainly like to have more juice than normal. (they are actually more power hungry than the headphones I have lol.)

Thats actually why i was even asking, because their web site states, that maximum power would be 10mW at 20 Ohms

XD

lol, wonder if they have even tried listening to it with only 10mw


im not an expert, but i would guess it has something to do with output impedance of the source

since planar headphones are also picky that way

the OI has nothing to do with it.
