Sounds like Waynes World and Jant71 ordered them.  If they like them, train will really pick up steam!
 

 
Not yet, but that hype got me perilously close! I'm sure I'll do it though once my personal little hypefest with the KC06's and T51P's has settled down a notch :)

especially because the tenores lack the driver flex that those bassos have!
 
I hope you'll do a comparo of those and the kc06 when possible, because I definitely want to purchase the kc06 and regret nothing, lol.

I remember Dsnuts and I were sharing PM's when he noticed the ZA phones on Amazon Jp. He thought that these guys were a small Japanese company making high quality earphones at reasonable prices. We both decided to take a chance on the Basso's and realized how good they were once we got them. A few weeks later I got the Tenore's and never looked back. ZA makes incredible products and I'll look forward to whatever they release in the future, especially their dynamic drivers. Glad the Tenore's are getting the attention it deserves.

Only KC06 caveats: not much isolation; source/synergy dependent. If you don't mind the lack of isolation, and you get them on the right source, the SQ is outstanding and cannot be regretted :)   Other benefits: very small; very light; quite comfortable; looks pretty cool; well built; very flush for using when sleeping.

Very initial impressions of the 1Plus2
One of the fullest headphone-sounding universal earphones I've ever heard (if not the fullest). Well, let me pull back some. I've heard others as full sounding (ASG-2), but not with this level of clarity and transparency. The bass is not the deepest I've heard (the original 1964-Q would shake your eardrums), but it's hard to beat its punch and timbre. Very natural sounding. I think this is shaping up to be the best hybrid earphone I've ever heard. Vocals are very dynamic sounding. This iem is very smooth and refined

I'm sorry for your wallet that you are feeling this way!

Don't be waynes world. My wallet bought I new iMac and ran away with it. So it's safe. I'm glad I'm hearing it, but it won't be on my "to buy" list.

I had basso and doppios. Had to sell doppios while back due to car repairs. Was looking at a secondary pair of quality and budget friendly iems. Tried im70s today but returning as I ordered off amazon just to try really. Can be had for $30 less if I import from tenso/amazon jp. Thought about bassos again, but I think ill give tenores a shot.

Main phones are fx850. Im interested in the shure 846 eventially, and the aurisonics rockets look interesting too. Need a pair of on/over ears too, considering cheap pair of amperiors.

  ShotGunShane prefers Tenore (he said Doppio has less bass) and I think Drblue prefers Doppio

 
 
I've never heard the Tenore, but the Doppio has plenty of bass (sub bass too). Then again, the Tenore is a dynamic.

I love the shure 1540s. If where to get another pair of headphone strictly for home use it would probably be the 1540
