just got a chance to listen to these in best buy. I will say they have good bass, but are a bit dark.
Also, the Denon D1100 is superior imo.Better soundstage and instrument separation. They go for about the same price.
HI everyone.
I'm new to this forum . I love this sound of TMA-1,good bass and little dark for me. but i'm looking to buy new IEM or CIEM that has sound like TMA-1 .anyone can suggest me .
Sennheiser IE8 have a fairly dark signature; however, I feel they are better in just about every regard. Out of all the IEM's I've owned, I find both the IE8 and TripleFi 10's share the most similarities to the TMA-1
How do these compare to the JVC S500s? They're about the same price but the S500 seems to get much more positive reviews and are more portable.
Are there other more highly regarded/better sounding cans that fit around the ear rather than over?

V-moda sells a nice control talk cable. It's what I used with mine when I had them. Of course the Beats audio cable's would work as well.
Depending on the version they get, some cables may not fit; the cable interlocking tabs on the later models restricts cables with thicker collars, unfortunately

↑ Sorry for the delay, that's exactly what I meant when I said most cables would'nt be compatible with the revised termination. In hindsight, I wish they had kept the old design, for this very reason; or atleast have widened the termination so other cables would fit
By the way I contacted aiaiai and asked them about the original mic cable. I had a receipt of a friend that bought the mic version at an apple store and told them that he broke his cable and that he wants to buy a new one. I am waiting for their reply concerning the spare cable and how much doest it cost plus shipping. Otherwise I'll go with the logitech cable, it fits properly, tried today!

Personally, if I were to own them again, I'd probably just shave off the tabs so I wouldnt have to worry about cable fitment anymore. As for the replacement cable, their CSR's are insanely easy going, and will probably just end up hooking you up with a free replacement. That being said, lets try not to abuse that privilege ![]()
yup, seem simple enough to do.
