Ttpod t1E is my favorite iem currently.

Kc06a and vsd3s are good, but neither can match the bass quality and imaging that the amplified t1E can produce. It's the most addicting sound I've heard in a loooong time.

The vsd3s and kc06a are more balanced, but they both get mildly fatiguing to me after a while. This hasn't happened yet with the t1E.

The bass goes so low! Still, it is very controlled and musical. Voices do take a step back, but instruments literally jump out at you. Treble is detailed and not too bright. It extends with minimal sibilance.

The longer I listen to them, the more I like them. I wasn't expecting a lot when I got them. For the amount I paid, they are the best bang for my buck purchase so far this year.


Too me this discription sounds like a Sony xba h3 which heard and liked but couldnt stand the fit of these.
PS: i ordered the t1e a week ago and am curious:wink:

So if the seller want to lie to me ... I woldn`t know the truth?

Anywhere in the box is written "Enhanced" or anything like this?
 
They`re pretty cheap on Aliexpress, and with free shipping to Brazil.

Hey I`ve seen an unboxing on youtube, that the guy said he bought the T1 ( nothing about the "e" ) and the box is sort of brown, the T1-E box aren`t black?
Maybe this is the diference.

  I found the same.  Tenores are so much better, but some are reporting issues with theirs.
 
You can also look into Ostry KC06 and KC06A

Yeah, I chose the Bassos because I didn't want to join the lottery I know someone who sells the Kc06a though. Which would you say is more analytical of the two? I'm the kind of person who loved the Brainwavz B2, so I like my treble shining bright like a die-muhnd.
 
Edit-- There's also someone selling the VSD3S, are they the kind of sound I'm looking for, guys? And will that replaceable cable fit after-market Shures?

If you like bright shiny treble, the stay the hell away from the Tenore. That is not it's treble presentation at all. The Pistons have that shiny extended treble with detail retrieval. I'm sure the VSDS3 is similar, based on impressions. I'd go that route and stay away from ZA.

Not sure about the KC06 but VSD3S is kind of laid back and chill. Its strengths are layering, separation, and nice detail. It has a pretty strong sparkle to it, so much that some call it artificial. If you like shiny treble without being really sibilant, it's a good IEM. Not really analytical, but laid back, smooth, and sparkly up top. Never heard the B2, so can't compare. The cable is proprietary, so Shure won't fit.

NIce. Hows the difference between the VSD3 and VSD3S? Can you shoot me any links of the most decent review you've read?

There's also a couple reviews on the VSD3S Head Gear page.
 
Hope that helps.

I keep reading "amplified", but how about T1E straight out of smartphone or laptop or DAP without amp?
