Should I buy the TinAudio T2 for $50, go for something esle, or wait for any discounts to come, and if anyone could suggest when is the possibility for them to be in discounts at the earliest.
last 3-28 sale knocked down the price to 28 usd, almost half the price you mentioned. better wait.

Einsears are definitely outstanding for the price, but soon as I acquired memt x5, einsears were blown out of the water, maybe it's just that my brain tends to linger towards more basshead presentation, but compared to memt, einsears bass is pretty shallow, instrument separation is nowhere near as good, sub bass, sound leak and isolation are overall all better in memt, mids and highs are more intimate and overall it just makes for a much better experience. Rather remarkable what sub 20$ iems can give to you this days.
Btw I use stock tips at both iems, and my source is phone with 625 snapdragon built inside, nothing fancy.

Whatever you decide, just make sure you are getting the revised version with the new cable. I got the older one and my cables turned green in less than two weeks COMPLETELY. They have since changed the cables, I had to replace my cables (they looked disgusting, even though they still worked).

Just got the Rose North Forest and I have been listening to them for the last hour. For $25 the only thing they lack is a case (and I have many anyways). The built, look, fit, tips, and, most importantly, the sound, are all top notch. It’s incredible how much this industry has advanced in the last 10-15 years, to be able to produce this little gem at this price. I highly recommend it, for the price you have nothing to loose plus they make great gifts for friends/family.

Hopefully they will have sorted their cable issues by then. My T2 cable turned green in less than 2 weeks of use. That is the only negative that an otherwise excellent in ear had.

Nice, glad you got them back together.
Starlines work great - it's what I run on mine too. It also helps if you push the tips all the way down the nozzle.
Been having a good listen with the black fabric removed. Started to find them a little harsh until I saw your post about pushing the starlines fully on to the tip.
After doing that they sound fantastic. Listening to Ziggy Stardust and the level of detail is phenomenal for the price.
What witchery is going on with pushing the tips fully on as there's no vent hole. Is it just moving the sound from the BA further back in your ear???

For the price you have nothing to lose... well, that’s the case with almost all the sub 25 dollar IEMs we write about here. All that money may add up, you know.

You can literally throw every genre on the TRN V20. Amazing.

Only had a couple hours on them, but what I can tell right now is that there is really no frequency upped or exaggerated in them. They are not bass heavy for people who like that, and not harsh or sibilant. If anything, somewhat midcentric ie.For the price you have nothing to lose... well, that’s the case with almost all the sub 25 dollar IEMs we write about here. All that money may add up, you know.

I don't think that's the cable "issue" that's been solved in the v2 of the cable. The only thing they updated is the strain relief and the MMCX connectors. The rest is exactly the same - it's still going to turn green sooner or later.

I actually communicated with them and they told me that "all issues" had been solved with the new cable. That a silver cable eventually turns green was not my problem, all cables like this eventually do, it's that it turned green with less than two weeks of use, and mine was not an isolated issue according to them. If this hasn't been addressed with the new cable, it would actually give me reason not to purchase any of their upcoming products.

Well, then it could be. Though personally I doubt they really solved anything regarding the greening, But then again, I don't really mind the color of the cable anymore. It sort of bothered me in the beginning, but now I couldn't care less. It's a cosmetic thing that nobody's even going to notice. It most certainly won't put me off any future TinAudio products. I did order a new cable, however, but that's because the straight plug is really impractical for my needs.
another peek, next may on sale.
I found it very beautiful !! I Hope It sounds good. I need a bassy iem in my collection. But i am not getting anyone soon. The z5000 os pricey.
