ARTTI T10 PRO VS Tanchjim NORA

Youtube Video Summary

ARTTI T10 Pro steps into the relaxed planar club with meaningful upgrades: an all-metal shell that’s smaller and sturdier, a pocketable hard case, and a slick modular cable (3.5 mm & 4.4 mm). Fit is easier thanks to the slimmer nozzles and smart venting—no pressure build-up or driver flex—while the familiar 14 mm planar still only asks for a decent dongle to shine. At $110 MSRP (often around $95 street), the accessory set and build punch well above the tag.

Tonally, this is a warm-tilted, easy-listening planar: sub-bass rumbles, mid-bass hits with tidy punch, and the mids carry a lush body without smearing. Female vocals can sit a touch behind the mix, but timbre stays natural. Treble is smooth with sparkle—non-fatiguing at sane volumes, with only mild edge creeping in when cranked. Technical chops are confident for the class: tight bass texture, clear micro-details that don’t shout, solid imaging, and stage that’s about average in width yet fully reveals well-mastered spatial cues.

Against peers, it sits between LETSHUOER’s S08 and S12 Pro: fuller low-end and more air than S08 (which favors female vocals and loud listening comfort), but less top-end shine/detail pop than the S12 Pro. Versus Hidizs MP145 (red nozzles), tuning is very close, yet the T10 Pro wins on comfort, accessories, and value; MP145 still stretches a wider stage. Net result: a versatile all-rounder that suits most genres and listeners—just not die-hard trebleheads, bassheads, or those whose libraries lean heavily female-vocal-forward. For everyone else, this is an easy recommendation at the price.

Youtube Video Summary

ARTTI T10 Pro brings a slick metal shell (black or silver), a pocketable case, two sets of tips, and a soft four-core cable with interchangeable 3.5/4.4 mm plugs on a standard two-pin connector. The fit is standout—small, low-profile, and comfy enough for sleeping. Tuning skews balanced with a bass boost: neutral-ish ear gain, smooth treble with a 10 k dip, and plenty of air.

The bass hits hard and textured with that fast planar attack/decay—clean, minimal bleed, less bouncy than a big DD slam. Mids stay natural and slightly forward without turning shouty; female vocals read neutral while male vocals gain meat from mid-bass warmth. Treble is smooth yet airy, adding micro-detail and openness; the extra air can feel a bit intense on longer sessions, though it makes strings sound fluid and well-extended. Technicals impress for the price: crisp separation, convincing 3D imaging, and excellent footstep pickup in shooters like Apex—easily a two-controller gaming nod.

Versus peers, the former favorite S08 plays more relaxed up top with less air and slightly less bass; T10 Pro feels more natural in vocals where S08 can get a touch forward. The Explorer (DD) is warmer and more laid-back with lighter bass and softer treble for pure chill. For an all-rounder that stays fun, T10 Pro takes the pick; choose S08 for easy long listens, Explorer for coffee-and-book vibes. At around $100, this is planar done right—punchy textured bass, neutral mids, smooth airy treble—and it earns a confident three-star recommendation.

Youtube Video Summary

The ARTTI T10 Pro is a compact, metal-shelled planar with an earbud-like footprint that fits easily and isolates well. It ships with a surprisingly nice modular screw-termination cable (3.5 mm and 4.4 mm included), a stable chin slider, clear L/R markings, two sets of ear tips, and a tidy branded zip case. Build feels solid, the nozzle is well executed, and the black faceplate looks sharp—overall a very complete package for the price.

Sonically it hits bassy, detailed, and clean: a rising bass shelf, energetic upper mids, and airy treble extension that reads cohesive in-ear rather than etched. Technicals overperform—imaging, sparkle, note weight, and soundstage all impress—while the main caveat is a slight noise floor. Versus peers, it avoids the mid-treble glare of sets like S12 Pro and NiceHCK F1 Pro, feels more engaging than the safer S08, and offers a more refined, mildly V-shaped take compared with Kiwi Ears K4. In short, this is a “planar that doesn’t sound like a planar” in the best way—highly recommended and an easy default pick under $100 for those aligned with this tuning.

Youtube Video Summary

The ARTTI T10 PRO follows the OG T10—still a value monster—but pivots to a different flavor: it’s warmer, bassier, and not as squeaky-clean, yet remains surprisingly airy. Expect more bass, laid-back vocals with less 2k shout, a touch less bright, and better scaling with volume, while keeping a sense of openness. The overall profile is warm-but-airy, evoking a mini Symphonium Meteor vibe that’s easy to enjoy across casual listening.

Think of it as a cheaper Timeless 2—similar vibe (silver-nozzle tuning style), just a bit warmer and less technical. If the OG T10 is already in rotation, the clearer “pure performance” step is something like an ET42, making the T10 PRO more of a sidegrade for those wanting extra low-end weight without killing the air. Value still favors the original T10, but the T10 PRO earns a recommendation for its distinct, bass-leaning twist that stays engaging rather than muddy.

Youtube Video Summary

Nora goes back to Tanchjim’s roots: a single DMT5 DD, vented pressure relief, no switches/nozzles/DSP — just a clean execution of the house target around ~$110. The tuning leans a touch more vocal-centric than recent releases, with a slight sub-bass dip and a sharpened 3–4.5 kHz focus from the Hemholtz resonator, creating stronger contrast between bass and mids and a more U-shaped impression than the graph suggests.

Female vocals carry a crisp leading edge and cut through mixes with ease; energetic singers shine, while softer, breathier voices can come off a bit over-sharpened. The bass shelf is present yet carefully lowered to keep balance, though the transition between sub-bass and mid-bass isn’t always seamless and can make the set feel inconsistent track-to-track.

Treble is lively and extended without obvious peaks, staging is big and open, and the small, lightweight shell with the modular cable makes for easy daily use; detail retrieval and imaging are snappy enough to make gaming a surprisingly good fit. Overall, Nora prioritizes mid presence and clarity over warmth and texture, delivering a clear, vocal-forward listen that fits the brand’s DNA while staying within budget constraints.

Youtube Video Summary

Tanchjim NORA lands as a monitor-tuned set: a single dynamic with dual magnets aimed at mixing/mastering, not Friday-night fun. The presentation is flat, neutral, low-energy—the “plain hamburger” of IEMs—delivering the track as-is without sauce, sparkle, or party tricks. Expect honesty over hype: music quality and recording flaws show up immediately.

It’s very sensitive, revealing amp hiss on noisier chains yet taking power without complaint; bass stays dead flat and the treble avoids harshness while refusing to sweeten anything. This is a homework IEM: great for students or engineers who need a budget reference to judge balance, timbre, and mix decisions rather than to vibe out. Pleasure listening isn’t the brief; accuracy is.

Build is neat: a tiny, see-through shell with a glass back, a big nozzle for the size, and an interchangeable-termination cable (balanced or single-ended) that’ll puzzle some studio folks but proves handy. Fit can be quirky—small body/large nozzle means tip rolling, with even SS tips included for smaller ears. At around $120, it’s a respectable, purpose-built tool: boring by design, and the right kind of boring when the job is to tell the truth.
