[ T-PEOS ] Announce Releasing Altone200 and Start Preorder Limitedly

Well sure, it's just that I can't even tell what country it's in.  

Bass is not enough for my taste.

Edit:^ Might have defective pair, waiting for replacement unit.

GR07 BE does balanced bass well IMO.

Got a text from DHL, delivery tomorrow.

Thanks for the comparison with the GR07 BE.

Looking forward to more impressions

Just got notice my altone200 will be delivered tomorrow and someone needs to be there to sign for them.

Cough cough, I suddenly feel a little under the weather, I might need to stay home from work tomorrow

Nah, you can go to the web site the text linked to and have it dropped off without sig.
 
Or, maybe, you suddenly find yourself unable to navigate the web and you NEED to stay home to sign for it.  Yeah, that's it.

I'm at work right now getting all my ducks in a row so I can "be sick" tomorrow.


Muahahahaha

As i tought that shipping on 23 july was to late to have them delivered before my summer holydays, i'm quite happy to have received my Altone200 today! Not so happy for DHL import duties: 40 USD!
 
Just to ask: on the package there is a (canceled) voice for a 6.3 mm adapter: someone received it?

Thanks! I suppose that was a mistake on the package that was too late to correct before shipping...

Got mine delivered today. Quite an impressive little IEM, especially given its asking price. Coming from the XBA-H3, bass is a little lacking to my ears, but a very full spectrum is represented and there is loads of detail. I tried a variety of tips until finally settling on monster small size foam supertips (recently acquired a sampler of foam/gel tips of all sizes, liking the foam ones) as they seem to firm up the bass a little. The included foam tips also improve bass but take more away from the rest of the spectrum and close the sound in a bit too much for my liking at the moment, but it's still very early days and initial impressions. I feel it compliments the more fun XBA-H3 quite well. Most impressive of all is how light/small these are for a triple driver hybrid IEM - going from triple.fi 10's to XBA-H3's to these, I'd forgotten how small and light IEM's can be, and how comfortable it is to not be lifting weights with your ears.

Yeah rite....otherwise those tasks (striking/masking on the cardboard box) for the entire batches/lot would cost another couple days and delayed further....

But I think the little long wait for these are paying off to one and all..imo.

"SPICYGOODS" lol

Nice.  Very different than the Dunu1000s.  I put the same Comply 500 tips on, just to make sure it was a fair comparison.  Less bass, for sure, in terms of "thump" (I had the Dunus set up with no spacers, so maximum bass).  But the Altone's have very nice, strong bass, just very different.  After about 10 minutes, as my ears acclimated, they sounded fine.  More open on the bottom than the Dunus, less overall deep across the soundstage.  Which is not necessarily a bad thing.  It opened the sound up for the other frequencies, and the bass is certainly clear and "there."  For a basehead probably not what they want, though.  I also think that they need a bit more power than do the Dunus, as I found myself raising the volume a little bit from where I had it when I was using the Dunus on the same song just a few hours ago.
 
Mids and highs are very good, better than the Dunus, I think.  Trebles are good, nice and clear.  I've played a variety on tracks I've been listening to for more years than I care to admit, so I know what they should sound like.  They all sounded quite good.  On a couple of tracks some of the small sounds on the edges seems much stronger, more apparent.  Acoustic guitars that had been buried in the mix on a Dave Mason track really jumped clear.  Some fingering on the strings came right through, which was nice.  I tried them on Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead in 24 bit, a really nice presentation, and the acoustics really shined.
 
The Altones seem "smoother" in their presentation.  I've gone back and forth on the same songs, trying first one and then the other, and that's what seems to be happening.   
 
I'll give these a good workout tomorrow on my walk, but for now I'm happy with them.  I think as my ears get more used to them I'll continue to prefer them over the Dunus.
