Artti T10 Review
The Artti T10 is a budget planar IEM from a new brand called Artti. Planar IEMs are known for fast, detailed sound, and Artti is bringing that goodness at a very friendly price. I got my hands on the T10, and to be honest, this little thing really surprise me a lot. It’s like putting a turbo in a small car, lightweight, fast, and fun. So let’s check out what this IEM got to offer!
Disclaimer
I got the Artti T10 sent over by Artti for review, just to be clear. Everything I’m saying here is just my own thoughts, nobody told me what to say or anything like that. They didn’t pay me either, just sent the unit, that’s all.
Quick note tho: I’m the type who’s all about that warm, analog kinda sound. You know, where the music feels thick and cozy, bass and mids got a little extra oomph to ’em. I love when stuff sounds full and kinda soft around the edges, like vinyl. Natural, chilled out, not all sharp and clinical. That’s the kinda sound that really pulls me in, makes me just sit back and lose track of time. So yeah, just keep that in mind, that’s the sorta thing I’m basing this review on.
If you’re thinking about grabbing one, you can check it out at Artti. And if you’re in Bangladesh, you could hit up GeekMart for it.

Build & Design
The Artti T10 is made of plastic, but don’t worry, it doesn’t feels cheap. It got a aluminium faceplate that adds a bit of style. The whole body is lightweight, and the design is simple but smart. You’ll forget it’s in your ears after a while , that’s how light it is!
The nozzle is thin and small, but not too much. It fits perfect in my ears without causing any discomfort. That’s a big win.
The cable is also very nice for the price. It’s soft, light, and use a 2-pin connector with a 3.5mm jack. Very easy to handle. But I didn’t liked the stock eartips much, I replaced them with DDHIFI T35 tips. These give me a better seal and more comfort, plus they helps improve the sound.
Fit & Comfort
This is one of the most comfortable IEMs I used in this price range. It’s light, sits well in the ears, and I can wear it for long time without any problem. Whether I’m listening music or playing games, it stays comfy all the way.
Sound Impression
Let’s talk about how this thing sounds. In short: warm, neutral, and energetic. It sounds clean, fun, and detailed, with just few small issues here and there.
Bass
The bass is one of the best parts of the T10. It’s clean, fast, and has a good punch. The mid-bass is the real star here, oof! It hits with a nice thump and body, especially when listening drums or bass guitars. The sub-bass also goes deep and gives you a nice rumble you can feel. The best thing is that the bass don’t bleed into the mids, everything stays clean and separate.
Male Vocals
Male vocals sound rich, deep, and full of emotion. I played some of my favorite artists like Mark Knopfler, Elvis Presley, Sting, and Josh Turner, and man, they sound just awesome. The T10 gives them a nice warm tone and weight, making them feel very alive and real.
Female Vocals
Female vocals are energetic, sparkly, and mostly very nice. I listened to Sade, Dido, Laura Branigan, Beth Hart, Ghostly Kisses, and Chantal Chamberland, all of them sound beautiful and full of life. But, sometimes there is a bit of harshness, especially with some high notes. It don’t happen all the time, but it’s something to know if you’re very sensitive to treble.
Instruments
Instrument sounds are natural and well-placed. Whether it’s piano, violin, electric guitar, or drums, everything sounds clear and real. The strings have a nice bite, and the tones feel very true to life. Instruments don’t get mixed together, each one have its own space.
Treble
Now this is where the T10 goes beast mode! The treble is airy, sparkly, and full of details. You’ll hear stuff in your music that you maybe didn’t notice before. If you like detailed treble with lots of energy, you will love this. But for treble-sensitive people, it might gets a bit too sharp sometimes.
Soundstage & Imaging
The soundstage is wide and deep. It feels like the music is coming from a big open room, not just inside your head. Very nice for this price range. The imaging is also great, you can pinpoint where each sound is coming from. It makes the music feel 3D and very realistic.
Technical Performance
For a budget planar, this IEM have very good technical ability. Details, separation, layering, and clarity is all above average. Fast music, busy tracks it handles them well without turning into a mess.
Gaming Performance
Oh boy, this thing rocks in games! I played FPS games like CS2, Valorant, and Call of Duty, and also open-world games like GTA V, RDR2, and Once Human. Even Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals sounded amazing. Footsteps, gunshots, background music all were crystal clear, and the directional sound was spot on. For budget gamers, this IEM is a secret weapon.
Conclusion
The Artti T10 is a surprising little IEM that punches way above it’s weight. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and sounds amazing for the price. The bass is punchy, the vocals are emotional, the treble is detailed, and the soundstage is wide. Yes, there’s some harshness in female vocals and treble-sensitive people might feel the energy is a bit too much. But with a good eartip upgrade (like the DDHIFI T35), this IEM becomes a tiny turbo machine.
For music lovers and gamers on a budget, this is a must try.
