Mochill,

How do the te-05's sound?

Bass, mids, treble, stage?

Thanks.

You see any movement on your parcel, DannyBai? 
 
 
My tracking hasn't moved since Feb. 7. Usually Japan is better than this. lol

Waiting on the V and TE-05

 

[mochill]

I bought mine from ace_of_bicycle2004 from eBay and am astounded by the delivery speed...mine was supposed to be here by Tuesday but came Saturday ...the te-05 are as reference class as it gets....so much balance and so open and airy...it makes the doppios sound compressed ....just get the ml mikros 90 as well , you'll enjoy them very much

 

[mochill]

See pplz I don't need to lie about me buying iem now do we

 

[vlenbo]

So...balance as in...
 
mids have a lot of detail in...
 
Is it lush? Does it just sound clean? Thin?
 
Does the treble have any grain? Is there any emphasis in any part of the sound despite what you say is neutral?
 
Does the soundstage go out of your head, is it like a 50mm headphone soundstage size?
 
Do the lows deliver in texture, punch, impact, and quantity?

 

[mochill]

Very detailed mids with amazing bass textures like dynamic drivers produces and the mids and treble are clean detailed and very open sounding...soundstage is like the mikros 90...very niace

 

[mochill]

To my ears the sound like a finely tuned hybrid iem and no harshness whatsoever

 

[sfwalcer]

  Oh yeah baby.

^ Congrats..................... victim # and counting, tick tick tick.
 
 

  No problem.
Just for reference though, I usually prefer planar magnetic and electrostatic drivers for full size headphones though.

^ oh, you're one of those guys lol

 
^ All the uppitiness up in herrr!!!
 
 
 

  Just got my Pistons from ibuygou - the wait was definitely a lot shorter than I expected. You can expect my bashing as soon as I unpack them and give them a listen 

 
+

  I have to say I'm not impressed at all with the pistons. Yeah, for the 21 bucks I paid they are decent but they are nowhere near the claims that they can hang with the best sub-$100 iems let alone the claims that they are better than even more expensive ones. I'll burn them in and do some tip rolling but so far I can't figure on what basis some people decided these are so good when IMO the Deltas are a lot better and the Pistons can't touch any of the vsonic models.
Quote:
Around 15th too and I chose the free shipping option on ibuygou coz I new from other people in my country that they had received theirs within 20 days from ordering with the free option.

^ Didn't someone say something about getting theirs in before yours???

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 
Looks like you're hearing them how i heard them. Already traded them away cuz they did not live up to the hype whatsoever for me. Forget about FOTM, they didn't even make Flavor Of the Week for me. : P
 
Not at the level of the Sony MH1C, not LG QB2s, and not even at the level of the Nuforce NE700Xs, cuz that one is a much truer basshead audiophile iem to me. These Pistons are some soft/ mellow/ warm consumer grade sounding gear with pretty good micro detailing, alright clarity and soundstage. Not even close to the more mature/ audiophile sound of the VSonic VSD1s. Makes for a great fun bassy beater set but that's about it.
 

 

  It's not even fair comparing the two. Too bad iemagnet is banned - I'm pretty sure he would have liked to get into a friendly discussion with me about the Pistons like he did with other people about the Deltas. 

 

 
+

   
One man's opinion. Shrugs?

 ^ He got lucky cuz saved by the ban.

The Deltas has got much more clarity across the spectrum cuz of their more "balanced/ neutral" sound but i would put them both on par sonically, different flavors for different needs. Pistons is more "fun" cuz they are very bassy while the Deltas are more mature sounding for those that like it somewhat analytical in their cheapo daily beaters. Both are alright but doesn't deserve the SUPER-NOVA HYPE that is for sure esp. these Pistons.
 
 

   i agree with you kova4a.  the pistons are fun, but after 200 hrs of burn in are still kind of rough and bright compared with the Vsonics especially the LE.  but they are definitely worth 25$ to those
on a limited budget....

^

really??? Cuz these were wayyy too smooth/ warmish to darkish sounding for me. Wish they were brighter with less congestion tbh.
 
 

So, I don't have to get them to replace my vsd1le's?

 
+

Trade me, I have some Pistons. You'll be the one getting the best out of the trade

^ Don't dewitt Masa' WAYNE ...............

the emoticon says it all cuz that's who ya' are dealing with.

^ PATENT PENDING!!! PATENT PENDING!!! PATENT PENDING!!!

 
 

  I dunno man, I don't miss my VSD1LE much, and I couldn't even give away the Delta (I tried).
 
With some Sony hybrids, some time, and some HEAVY BASS REDUCER EQ, nothing touches the Pistons for $20 right now.
 
The Somic MH415 and Pistons are my gym go-to sets, and the Havi Pro/Astrotec AX35 are my home/train ride sets.
 
The AX35 also sounds stellar with some bass boost. It really fills out the sound.

^ FTFY!!!
 
Hmmm they might have sounded a lot more promising with some bass reducer EQ but i don't EQ much and they didn't seem to be worth it so..... they had to go. Also these might have some modding potential just as those Corecool V2s with the foam cover of the bass port. Try using some thin foam to cover up the open back of these Pstons and see if they reduce the bass quantity while increasing the quality. I know Teke gots some modding skittles SO TRY THIS OUT AND REPORT BACK TEKE!!!

Thanks for the impressions mochill.

Ericp, the te-05 just got out of customs in your hometown this afternoon so hopefully I'll have them tomorrow. I also have the oyaide SPC cable for the H3 with the te-05.

I listened to the Mikros 90 today for about an hour fresh out of the box and was thoroughly impressed. Kef500 level is what I gathered. Unfortunately it will be moving on to its rightful owner right away.

 

[vlenbo]

Well, that settles it!
 
Mikros win!

^ Don't worry Danny you'll get to hear them again soon enough, cuz i'll be sending my pad over pads modded set to you along with your stuff back. So comfort should be much better the next go around.
 
I might be getting another set as well, so.....

 
Oh and i hope my modded T50RPs will be back by then, so.......................

 
 
edit: Oh and congrats on them TE-05s Danny, lets see if Chill is on point saying they sound A LOT like the Logan 90s.

 

[mochill]

Make sure to burn them in for 300hrs^

 

[DannyBai]

Awesome sf. An hour was all I could handle cuz my ears were aching so looking forward to the mod. I think Wayne will welcome your mod too when it clamps on his head.
