Right, my take on the Artti R1. I had them for quite a while in my IEM collection. I personally paid around 57 euro for the set. Ordered them 23 november 2023 so around the black friday sales. Next to his Planar brother the T10 has a nice metal shell with 3DD’s inside. Yes i bought them both on the same day lol. Now I'm waiting on the R2 to arrive in the mail that I bought from Volkschio.
Specs:
Driver Configuration: 2DD 6mm PU Suspension Titanium + 1DD 8mm CC Beryllium-diaphragm
Cable Material: 4-Core 216 Strands * 0.05mm High-Purity Copper Silver-Plated Wire
Impedance: 20.4Ω±1% (@1kHz)
Distortion: ≤3% (@1kHz)
Sensitivity: 102dB/mW (@1kHz)
As listed above it is a 3DD but they wanna call it 2+1DD for some reason. I understand that it has a similar driver config then the LetShuoer DZ4 minus the PR driver that the DZ4 has. and quite similar to the new CCA Trio that came on to market just before the Chinese holiday. But that more inspired from the Raphsody tuning wise. There are probably other IEM’s with 3DD’s but I don’t know all of them on the top of my head but here for the R1.
Tonally wise what can i say is has the bass and the thump and the elevated sub bass. What makes this IEM that warmer sounding but the bleed is absolutely minimal into the mids. Decay is still good in the base region, might be not the quickest but is very sure not bad. It’s a slight V shape with a focus more onto the bass. Making the whole IEM sound more lush and warm a tat fuzzy.
Mids are not that recessed. but i can see for some ppl that the bass is too overpowering and that they might get overshadowed. Upper mids however are emphasized so that they can still shine through what still that Female vocals and electric guitars still can come through without being overshadowed. What is a plus point in my book.
Technicals aren’t really the most capable if it comes to technicals but they are far from the worst there are above average. Although having separate drivers helps in this case. They don’t fight each other and they play nice on the switch without making a fuss with each other. Some details might get lost in the mix since it is a bassy IEM. They have okay height and depth to my liking. The imaging is nice and big so you can pinpoint instruments out even the backing vocals. IEM at this price range. It doesn't jump above any other special not his brother in law. What I found was the tips that can make or break this IEM. Some tips will make it muddy and dark, others make it more open and somewhat airy.
The treble is not sparklies in the world but it is not overly overcompensated bright either. Like Hi-hats have decent sparkle without being blunted the hell out of them.
All said and done they belong in the price bracket especially on sale since they are from time to time. Do they jump out? They kinda do there are IEM’s for this price that are way way worse tuning and sounding wise then this. but i think there are also some better ones. Depending on what you're looking for if you want a brighter style a EA500LM of the T10 might be a better option for you but there are also differences in build and drivers. But If you are looking for a warm sounding i’m this is definitely a YES in my books. Even the tip choice as well with the T10 can make a huge difference. They can go from muddyish to wide open depending on the tips you pick!
