TINHIFI T7 is the latest flagship dynamic earphones in the T series. It is a HiFi earphones that integrates the development experience of TINHIFI T4 Plus and TINHIFI T5S, and is clearly differentiated in terms of materials and acoustic configuration. It is positioned higher than T4 Plus and T5S, and even higher than TINHiFi P1 MAX II planar earphones, but the price is less than 200 dollars, which is indeed very attractive.
TINHIFI T7 specs and features:

Appearance Design – Comfort Fit – Cable
TINHIFI T7 only has one color version, which is black with wood faceplate. The size of the earphone cavity is relatively small, and the aluminum alloy shell is processed by CNC, and the surface is anodized black, which feels delicate and is not easy to get fingerprints. The earphone panel is made of ebony, which is also quite textured. The connection between the front and rear cavities is very tight, and the gap is almost hard to see, so there is no need to worry about the workmanship details.
In terms of wearing, the earphones will not cause obvious pressure on the auricle. The stability and fit are very good. The thickness of the cavity is controlled, but I still don’t recommend you to wear it lying on your side.
The headphone cable supports interchangeable 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced plugs. Crafted from a superior blend of 0.06/54C single-crystal copper and oxygen-free copper. The cable is of moderate thickness and relatively soft. The surface is highly transparent, and the golden shielding layer inside can be seen.
It uses an MMCX replaceable structure, the pins are relatively tight, there is a slight sense of expansion, and there is a certain damping feeling when rotating – it will not be easily damaged in the short term and is relatively strong.
Acoustic Configuration – Power Demand
TINHIFI T7 is equipped with a 10mm gold-plated diaphragm ultra-linear dual tesla magnetic dynamic driver. The characteristics of gold are high density, good ductility and corrosion resistance. TINHIFI patented ultra-linear dual Tesla magnetic structure – in simple terms, the permanent magnet part of the dynamic driver uses two circles of Tesla magnets inside and outside, and connects them through a magnetic plate to enhance the magnetic field driving efficiency.
The impedance is 22Ω and the sensitivity is 112dB – it is a low impedance and high sensitivity type. However, the T7 does not appear thin or irritating because of this. The overall sound has a good thickness, solid and full. Especially in the performance of vocals, the fluffy imaging is soft and warm, giving people a very comfortable and cozy feeling. TINHIFI T7 is not difficult to drive, and the general mini headphone amplifier can play enough loudness.
Sound Description of TINHIFI T7
The low-frequency quantity is moderate, the thickness and fullness are not high. The elasticity and extension are good. The speed of retraction and release is relatively fast, and the reverberation is not much. The energy of the low-frequency is not prominent, and the elasticity and speed are emphasized.
The mid-frequency vocal distance is moderate, the thickness is slightly thin, and there are traces of increased brightness. There is a very slight sibilance within the acceptable range. There is a balance between the vocal texture and the line. The tendency between male and female voices is not obvious.
High-frequency is the strong point of TINHIFI T7, and the sound is transparent and clean. Excellent ductility – when playing high-range instruments, the sound is crisp, bright and undistorted. The high-frequency brightness is moderate and rich in details. The sound texture is good, and the layers between high-frequency instruments are clear. Even in complex music scenes, there will be no confusion or harshness in the high-frequency sound – there will be some requirements for the playback equipment.
The soundstage is not small, with a certain distance in the horizontal and vertical directions, but it is not completely equidistant, and the boundary is not clear. The separation between vocals and instruments is good. The resolution and dynamics are good, and the transient is excellent.
Conclusion
TINHIFI T7 is very adaptable to most modern pop songs. Its adaptability to RnB and rock is among the best in the same price range. The sound style is relatively neutral, with a slight enhancement in the brightness of the mids and high-frequency, and some characteristics of the gold-plated diaphragm can also be heard. Compared with previous model, it has obvious improvements in instrumental music, lateral soundstage and transient performance.
