WOW WOW WOW... the Tennmak Pro is one hell of an IEM. I had really high hopes for it after reading some reviews and was hoping I hadn't made a mistake as was undecided between it or the Dulcimer or Banjo.
 
BUILD
 
Super comfy, very secure fit. I'm not normally big for cables that loop over ear as a lot don't keep their shape too well, especially a budget one. Looks wise it looks a bit like the MEE Pinnacle 1, but slightly smaller. Having a detachable cable at £25 is a nice bonus and it is very secure
 
SOUND
 
It's a very unique signature, with an exceptional soundstage. The best soundstage I have heard yet was either RHA M750/T20 or Dunu Dn 1000, all having great width and depth. The Ten Pro though has width, depth... but it's the first time I've also heard instruments at the back of my head and in front of my forehead. It places the instruments and vocals in a way I've never heard before... all round my head. It is rich with a meaty sound that reminds me a bit like the M750 or pinnacle 1. But again, this takes nothing away from the details it provides. Separation is good too, helped again with it's big soundstage.
 
Detail levels are excellent... top to bottom.
 
One of my fav tests for an IEM is Queen's We Are The Champions. It has a big tuneful bass, great guitars and the lead and background vocals are kept disconnected from each other in the soundstage so that the lead takes central stage and the harmonies flow either side as if creeping in and out without overlapping the lead vocal. The Ten Pro provides one of the best versions I've heard to date. For the first time I've heard Brian May's guitar moving around my head, very 3D like. The piano and bass are very musical and Freddie's lead vocal is so articulate. Bass has that big fun sound, not the best resolution I've heard... but it's accurate and doesn't bleed into mids. Highs possibly take the back seat but there's plenty detail there.
 
It's slightly V shaped, some may think the mids are slightly recessed... but i mean very slightly. Again, nothing is left out... micro detail is good for a budget IEM.
 
So far i think this could replace either my Dunu DN 1000 (£130) and RHA T20 (£180) as my everyday pair. Sure the dynamics may not be as good, but it's a non fatiguing sound and extremely musical.
 
I've hit it with quite a few genres and impressed each time. i haven't tried classical yet though as it's not really my thing.
 
For those of you who like delving into the budget market, this is the best I've found yet. If you look at my profile you'll see I've built up a small arsenal of IEMs since I started this hobby in January, most of which fall in the £60-200 range and this is definitely one of my favourites. I've been really impressed recently with the standard of some of the cheaper brands like Xiamoi. At £25 or cheaper if you get it from Asia you get a comfy, fun IEM with a detachable cable.
 
my other favourite budget set was the DZAT-DF10 which shares a similar sound signature, but the Ten Pro is def a step up.
 
What would i pay for it... £70-100
 
EDIT : Spelling lol

I already had Sennheasier HD 25 iis which are great on-ear headphones but i wanted to try these after a good experience with the Yamaha EPH-200s. I really enjoyed the Yamaha house sound and these didn't disappoint.

I'm more about the sound, but build wise they are really good quality. The white set are really aesthetically pleasing and quite trendy. They are light but well made and I'm not scared they'll break easily. They are super comfy and the pads rest just nicely on your ears. They are quite easy to get a good fit too.

Sound - these are quality sounding earphones. they have a unique smooth, open and detailed sound coming out of them. Instantly you'll hear how BIG the sound is. There is great depth and width to the soundstage. Unlike more analytical brighter headphones which pick out details easily but sometimes lose the "fun" factor of listening to music, these still pick out plenty in your music. BUT in a different way. Their open sound and the way instruments and vocals are placed in and out of your head let you hear details in your music that you haven't heard before. again, it's not an in your face type.. it's more subtle which helps you still enjoy and engage with your music without being forced to hear microdetails in a more pin point nature. Instruments and vocals are very intelligently placed and it's great being able to hear music in this way.

Bass - Punchy and with great resolution. Really dynamic. enough punch to really maximise that fun factor, and never overdone or exaggerated.

Mids and highs - Instruments sound VERY organic and natural. the timbre is very impressive. I haven't heard instruments this good and I have LOTS of IEMs and headphones, some three times more expensive. these have been tuned excellently to really help you engage with your music and hear everything at the same time.

I never really buy into "burn in", but these definitely improved after a couple days of listening. even though they sounder good out of the box, it was like a veil was lifted after a couple of days. this improved clarity and really improved the highs. This further aided the big soundstage.

Compared to my Senn HD25iis.

The Senns have bass that is maybe has a tad more weight and resolution and is slightly more impactful, but can sound quite clinical at times. Bass on the Yams is a tiny bit smoother but still with great resolution and punch.

Mids and highs on the Senns are again brighter which may make them sound clearer, but again you can see why DJs like them as they are quite analytical. Detail is more in your face, with the Yams it's married in with the music.

Soundstage - The Yams are FAR wider and more holographic. Senns can sound very congested and narrow. The music is fixed in your head, whereas the Yams have it placed around it and with fantastic precision. Again this makes them much more fun to listen to. Live music sound great with the Yams, as does movies. I watched the new Star Wars with them and it was wonderful. i guess gaming would be good to.

Please remember that the Yams are open eared so music does leak. Not as loud though as full size sets though. in fact even at high volume they don't leak sound to much so don't worry about others being interrupted.

I like both, but prefer the Yams for enjoying and relaxing with my music.

These are easily the best headphones I have. They are a strange set in that they have a nice flat neutral sound signature that gives great detailed mids and highs, but have great sub and mid bass, that is so accurate and warm but doesn't effect the neutrality of the other frequencies. Bass has a slam and presence that make them so much fun to listen to. It at no point though takes over, this is not a set with just bassheads in mind (even though they'd be more than happy with them), it is for those who like to hear the music as produced, possibly even to analytical stage.
 
The HP100 just does everything right. For me they easily outperformed my Senn HD650 and AKG K550. They are equally as detailed but with much needed bass presence that they both don't have. 650 users will dispute this, but it's what I hear even amp'd properly. They are also easier on the ears than the Grado sr80es I had, but again with similar detail and resolution. Everything just falls into place no matter the genre.
 
Highs - crisp and cymbals and drums have an attack and decay a little similar to HD25ii's.
 
Mids - Vocals are great, they sit nicely in the centre and have great tone for both male and female singers. Guitars have energy and can be mildly aggressive but not in a bright fatiguing way.
 
Lows - The bass on these as i said is just remarkable imo. I'm hearing bass in a way I never have before, hearing the bass cords in Queen songs that I've only faintly heard even though i've been a mega fan since i was a teen. It is so much fun. Bass at no point bleeds into the mids as it behaves itself.
 
Soundstage - Widest I've heard in a closed back. Great imaging and placement. Great depth. Those who enjoy hearing big orchestras will enjoy placing the various instruments.
 
These are fantastic for movies, watching the new Star wars is a joy. You can follow those Tie-Fighters as they zip across the sky and those light saber battles you'll watch over and over again. I'd guess gamers will love them too for similar reasons, very 3D.
 
Vs HP150s
 
I've had the HP150s too, anyone that says they should sound the exact same since they use similar parts need to actually judge them side by side. The HP150s are aggressive up top and sibilance is a major problem. Bass is done better on the hp100s too, much better. They are similar in the mids though and in soundstage. Comfort wise they are both super comfy and you can wear them for hours on end without distraction.

I've only been in this game since January but have bought a new IEM every month (at pay day obviously). Nothing yet has come close to being my go-to IEM. (I should note...I bought the Titans for £100 but then returned them for the Fiio EX 1s which were the same IEM but rebranded for Fiio... and only £50.... wow.)
 
I also have Soundmagic e10, Re400s, Havi B3 Pro 1s, Trinity Audio Deltas V1, MEE Pinnacle P1s and I've heard and returned Dunu DN2000s just today.
 
BASS - I originally thought they didn't have much bass impact but once I used Comply Foam T-500s that changed. It then become nice and accurate with a good mid bass thump. I sometimes EQ a little bit more sub bass. Bassheads won't like these imo.
 
MIDS - Little recessed but still detailed. They have a slight bit of warmth (which i like). Vocals sound great, especially harmonies which come out fantastically with it's HUGE soundstage. Guitars have great body. I originally thought they lacked a bit of detail, but once I heard other IEMs known for detail and microdetail i realised they were just as competent. They just place the details around the soundstage, but everything is there. i bought the Dn2000s to give me a pair that I could marvel at microdetails but it took me by surprise just how similar the Titans could be when needed.
 
HIGHS - Probably it's weakest factor. They can be heard but can sound a bit artificial to my ears. Some may find them a wee bit fatiguing at first, but again the foam tips helped that with me. I'm not anywhere close to being a treble head but I like to hear a bit of detail which these def do. They don't have problems with sibilance either.
 
SOUNDSTAGE - Most people will pick this as the biggest draw. It's huge due to the vent holes. Nice and airy, vocals and instruments have great placement, stereo effect is well done even though they can sit way out your head at times. Very 3D like. the Havi B3 Pro 1s have a very large soundstage and they also use it in a very effective realistic way, but to me it is ruler flat whereas the Titans is just as wide but has better depth and height and is more airy... just bigger.
 
FIT - Very comfortable, very light. Isolation isn't great though down to the vent holes so you will hear everything going on around you on the go, but it doesn't effect the listening experience. They sound great still... they just greater in a quiet atmosphere.
 
Genres - I think they do well for all types of music, especially rock. make anthems sound amazing. It's like fireworks in your ears. Guitars and harmonies bursting all round you. Modern pop and electro sound great. i don't listen to classical but I'd think they'd do quite well with big orchestras.
 
i use these with Xduoo X3 which compliment it very well. i also use it with Fiio e10k and it just just as well. Doesn't need amping imo, and is very forgiving with low bitrate songs... unlike the Mee P1s lol
 
I have two other great sets in the Deltas and MEE P1s. They are great for different reasons, but the Titans still outperform them for a fun listen (the Deltas are close though as they have a similar mid bass punch which i like). This is a lot to do with that great soundstage though. It's just so unique.
 
For £50 you are getting a SUPERB IEM... no wonder it is sitting at Number 2. The value is unreal tbh. Not sure if Fiio will keep them at this price point, but they compete with IEMs four times as expensive imo.

I'm not qualified enough to go into a big review so I'll keep it simples 
 
Build - Solid housing. Trendy looking. Can be over ear comfortably. They are big but I've never had any problem or discomfort, the only buds that came with it that I couldn't wear was their triple flange... which is far too long and badly effects the sound IMO. These must be for someone with giant ears! The music sounds tinny and thin with it, but with every other tip I've tried this isn't a problem. I prefer the medium foam they come with. I also liked the double flange. Isolation is great. The cable though is very long and difficult to hide, Very minimum to no noise from it though.
 
Sound - It has a very smooth and detailed sound. It gets addictive very quickly and has kept me up into the small hours of the night going through my catalogue. It needs say 6-10 hours burn in. It sounds good out of the box, but nowhere near what it is capable of. You notice a big difference afterwards. You can use these to marvel at microdetails in your music, or to just sit back and enjoy listening to.
 
Bass, mids and treble... nothing stands out more than the other. They compliment each other for a wonderful listening experience.
 
BASS - Punchy and accurate, the way I like it. Anyone who says they are bass light must be bassheads, if so maybe these aren't for you... although they do respond to EQ very well so maybe even a slight boost might suit you if you love big bass. There is no bloat and it extends nicely through sub bass and up.
 
MIDS - Addictive. Vocals are great, creamy and natural. Both male and female vocals come out just beautifully. Instruments can all be heard as if you are there in the studio. They are neither forward or recessed. Great resolution, and vocals are very articulate. For the first time I can hear lyrics clearly in even the fastest of songs.
 
HIGHS - I'm not big on piercing hot treble. The treble on these is accurate and with no sibilance or fatigue (very occasionally you do get some sibilance but that's on songs that are naturally sibilant, but it's not sore sounding) and . Strings sound great. For the first time I can hear cymbals the way they should be heard.
 
SOUNDSTAGE - Spectacular. Nice and wide, and never artificial. Harmonies are great, different vocalists can be picked out, the same goes for different instruments. Great stereo imaging.
 
The best thing about these is they make songs that you thought were just alright... sound great! Songs that you may have thought were overrated you can now see just why they are so acclaimed. This is down to the details they bring out, vocals and instruments you've never heard before now come out clearly. Everything is now coherent and makes songs sound magical. Live music is great.
 
These cost me £180 and that's the most I've paid yet so I was very apprehensive but I've no regrets whatsoever. You get what you pay for here.
 
My other decent IEMS are Dunu Titan 1s, re400s, TA Deltas. These blow each of them away.
 
Titan 1s - These have a great soundstage, very 3d and impressive. The P1s is much more accurate, just a tad narrower... but everything sits better and actually makes the Titan sound a bit forced. Ps are MUCH more detailed and beats them in every way.
 
re400s - Known for their resolution and clear forward mids. P1s are again far more detailed, far more musical and much better bass and treble. Makes the re400s sound thin and boring.
 
Deltas - I love my Deltas, I didn't think I'd beat them for the type of sound I enjoy. I was very wrong. The p1s make them sound a little congested and bloaty. Deltas are extremely musical, but have a mid bass that can be a bit fatiguing... although once your ears adjust to it they sound great. Feet tappingly so. The P1s are again smoother, more detailed, more articulate and have better musicality. Vocals sound more natural with the P1s, and the imaging and placement of music is better. The SS is also better. I feel the P1s are a great upgrade to the Deltas. Their sound signatures are quite similar, but the P1s do top them all over. (I use my Deltas for out running as they are still an enjoyable listen).

The only thing I will say about the build is that they are made of quality materials, stylish, and one of the most comfortable headphones I've ever wore. They are so lightweight but not fragile.
 
SOUND
 
These are slightly V shaped.
 
BASS
 
Great sub bass, typical of the MDR range. Warm and present. Not of basshead levels, but those looking for fun bass with impact you'll like these.
 
MIDS
 
These are blended in with the bass but still good detail. A bit forward. Harmonies sound great and of decent detail.
 
HIGHS
 
Really good highs for a set with the amount of bass they have. Cymbals sound great. Actually have a decent amount of detail.
 
SOUNDSTAGE
 
These have great wide soundstage. For the price point and size I'm really surprised how wide these go and the amount of detail and volume present. I have AKG k550s, and these have wider soundstage.
 
Conclusion
 
These came on the market at £100 and offer some fantastic value at £35. These are a great starter if you're interested in the Sony MDR range and will give you a good feel for the sound signature. I've heard the MDR 1As and although better, these are not that far off... especially as they're nearly £70 cheaper.
 
A friend of mine agreed that these are better than Senn HD25iis which we both own. Senns have slightly more detail and i mean slightly, but these are much more fun. They are basically just a warmer version with only the type of bass that differs. Senns are more punchy and accurate, these are warmer with more presence. Both very similar level of detail in the MIDS and HIGHS. But they MDRs have a much much wider soundstage, HDs are very congested.
 
These work really good for watching movies as you forget you're wearing them they are that comfy. Action movies are great, helped by the wide soundstage they have.
