I purchased tt1e last month..though they have good sound quality,cant enjoy them just like the other budget fi iems in my possession such as vsd3s,tenore,and b3. everytime i try to listen with them,i always end up reaching for kc06a.

Ok, after the last posts i was really again a bit sceptical and i searched the thread again regarding T1E or KC06A
It seems KC06A is better for metal and rock without amp,so i bought it.
I realize i didnt want to carry with me extra weight so an amp is too much for me,thats i why i bought also Sony E384,because is so small.
Also ill consider buyng VSD3S or VSD3 or when it comes out VSD5,which ever is best for metal and rock,i just wait for the realase of VSD5.
But as a newbie i understand that in the end is trial and error,everyone is hearing a little diferent and has diferent needs so YMMV.
Thanks again for your replies,apriciated.

I agree about the kc06a sounding better than the t1e with no amplifier.

Unless people have the same gear pushing them I'm sure we won't hear the same thing.

I think there's a trend towards two different sound signatures that are both good in their own way. This is apparent with the DN1000 and the Sony h3. It is also apparent with the kc06a and the t1e.

T1e has a warmer signature. Sony h3 is the same way. They are set up for better imaging and musicality.

Kc06a is brighter and crisper. DN1000 is the same way. They are set up for more balance and detail.

@Hisoundfi

As I'm sure you noticed I'm not particulary impressed by the kc06, your description of the t1e's got me interested in them and I wonder how the two compares in soundstage depth?

Is penon the best place to get the t1e's?

I got mine from bigbargainonlone (Penonaudio)

I hope you do like them.

They are a warm signature with great bass and good imaging. Very musical and a good compliment/different approach from the more balanced phones on this thread.

B3 sound stage is better IMHO.

These t1E are really fun and play every genre of music well.

Whoops wrong phone...

Soundstage width is better on kc06, but depth is better on an amplified t1e.


Thanks, but not better unamplified? I really think that the soundstage depth on the kc06 is pretty non existent so I would really need a big imporvement to be interested......

To put it in another way: do the two have a similar overall ss?
