Blind buy that’s NOT worth it.

An impression and a question:

Do you have a blind buy IEM that you regret? If so what is it?

This is the Tiandirenhe TD20. It’s a Planar driver, 11mm I think, and I’ve only seen this brand on AliExpress. I bought it sometime late last year. One good thing about the brand itself is that for most of their IEM’s you can purchase just the IEM, or IEM and tips, or IEM and tips and a cable, etc. I don’t know if they always do this all the time because I honestly haven’t checked out their store after buying this model, but when I did you had purchase options and that affected the price. I appreciate that because I don’t need more of the stock bullshit tips and cables, I only want the IEM.

If this thing really is a planar it sounds way more like a DD. LOTS of bass, more than the SGOR Luna, and it’s not “quality” bass. It really bleeds into the mids and clouds the whole sound spectrum. The clarity and details you normally get with a planar is NOT present here. It does have a fun factor to it depending on what music you’re listening too, but the IEM is not worth the money. I got it at $60, it quickly skyrocketed to $130 around Xmas and I’ve seen it at $86 recently. NO, it’s not even worth the $60 I paid. I laughed my ass off when I saw it for $130 🤣

This brand has some really colorful and artsy looking shells, and it is comfortable to wear, but this TD20 model is Hot Garbage for a planar IEM. I can’t speak to the rest of their models but I have no hopeful expectations because of this TD20. A blind buy that easily goes into the Regret Category.
