Tripowin x HBB Olina Review

The video is in Arabic.

Hey everyone,

The Tripowin x HBB Olina fully deserves to be the best in its price class. A single dynamic driver, and according to HBB (Bad Guy Good Reviews), who did the tuning, it’s the same driver as in the Tanchjim Oxygen. 32 ohm and 110 dB sensitivity according to the company, with a 0.78 2-pin connector. It’s metal but light, and it comes with extra filters. It was $99 at the time of the review.

Who is it for?

• Anyone who wants a $100 IEM they can tune easily, and gamers. Not for bass heads.

Strengths

• Layering, separation, clarity and detail clarity are 10 out of 10.
• Soundstage depth and width are excellent.
• The bass performs above its price class: deep, with excellent extension.
• The mids are natural and balanced, and vocals have no harshness.
• The cable is excellent in build and performance, and doesn’t need replacing.
• For gaming it beat the TinHifi T2 in everything by 10 to 30%.

Weaknesses

• With one filter it’s brighter than I like: light bass, and treble harshness and sibilance when you turn it up.
• It’s small with a short nozzle, so it might not stay put in larger ears.
• It’s affected a lot by tips.
• After adding the second filter, you need to raise the volume by about 10%.

Verdict

I definitely recommend it: I can’t remember a better IEM at this price. My rating came after a small tweak: I added a second filter on top of the stock one (from the included filters), which raised the bass about 2 dB, removed the harshness and sibilance, and brought the sound closer to warm balanced.

Note: this review is from 2022, so price and availability may have changed.
