ps the t1e is one of the most comfortable iems I've ever worn. I go over the ear with the large tips from my mh1 and the only thing that touches my ears is the tips.

I think you just sold me on them, I was going to get the VSD3S but I think these will now be first choice.
 
Guys who bought Don Scorpio Dolphins, do you still rate them?

Hello headfiers!!!
 
  Ive read all the posts and im little confused because of so many opinions.
I mainly hear rock music,hard rock and metal (Iron Maiden,Blind Guardian,Nightwish,etc).
So im between KC06A , VSD3 , T1E.
I would prefer big soundstage,clarity ,seperation.
So i read about the T1E...are so great that surpass the KC06A and VSD3???
Also,how do they sound without amplification?Are they still better?
I will use mainly a Sony NWZ-E384
 
Plz i will apriciate some answers because i want to buy me a gift tomorrow!!!
 
Excuse me for but english...

Go with the kc06a then.

It offers the best separation, clarity and soundstage of the three IMHO.

I'm a fan of a warm and musical sound with good bass and no sibilance but still a good treble presence and sparkle. That's more towards the t1e sound.

Thanks for the answer Hisoundfi,i was going for KC06A,but plz can you tell me if you have heard the T1E without amplification,its still good?
I may buy both of them ,and in the future i will consider an amplifier (if you want can you recommend 1 for a newbie?) and later ill wait
for VSD5 or VSD7 to see if they be good.
Thanks again for reply.

The t1e sounds good/great without an amp. However, without an amp I prefer the vsd3s

The vsd3s is very easy to drive. Half volume is plenty loud for my ears.

Amplifying the t1e makes everything more tight and powerful, and imaging improves. With an amp the t1e sounds better than the vsd3s IMHO

Can you recommend an amp?Should i go for NX1?

Yes ...NX1 is good ..check out the thread ...me highly recommend

 

[Salmonelas]

Well probably i will buy the T1E and the NX1 amp.
I already have Soundmagic E10 and VSD1S,so when i get them ill post mini comparison for other newbies like me.
Thanks for your replies!

The B3 pairs insanely well with ESS9018KM2 based DACs. It sounds just as amazing on my Xplay 3S as it does on my GO1000. Bass isn't even an issue anymore. It's basically my endgame setup, as even the Dunu DN-2000 couldn't beat it.

Take a look at Fiio E11k, althought it's not releaset yet, unfortunately

I dont believe it will be cheap,NX1 i saw in ebay it goes for 30 euros,and i will hit the buy button tommorow so ill go for NX1 and TTpod T1E.

I just picked one up myself, as my Soundmagic a10 is starting to short out on me.

Thread has been around for a little while now, and I realized I haven't thanked everyone for making it what it is today.

I started this thread to bring awareness to the multitudes of companies and products available in Asian markets with high quality that consumers in the rest of the world don't really get to see.

Everything in a typical store in the US is marketing driven, not quality driven. The intention of this thread has been achieved and then some. We've found some extremely high quality gear at a fraction of the price many similar offerings go for, and its starting to increase awareness.

A quick look at the Xiaomi Pistons on Amazon (which had no reviews a few months ago) now has over 60+ from regular consumers with almost universal praise.

The stigma that "everything Chinese is crap" will slowly start to fade once awareness increases. Although I wish local companies in the US would offer a quality product at non inflated prices, it seems that corporatism and greed prevents it. I go where the quality/value goes.

I've brought attention to many finds, and others have brought attention to me some amazing finds. The mission has been accomplished and then some.

So i'd like to say thanks to everyone participating here and putting their time and money into helping others. I'm sure its appreciated way more than we know of throughout the internet.
