They pair very well with Sansa Clip or Zip. If you ever need to EQ them using rockbox. Even I add a little EQ on the lower treble (reduce it by about -1db @ 7k)


 

Ok good to know

finally arrived 

 But unfortunately had to pay $40 of customs included the fee, which dhl charges.
And to top it I can't test them out cause I need to learn for my exams...

 
 
Edit:
Couldn't resist and got a sneak peek 

Expected more bass, but quality is quite nice.
Mid-range is incredibly clear.
Highs are smooth, not percing at all

thats really bad to hear like almost another 40% (if purchased for $105) of the iem's cost spent for customs...

Exactly, a total of 165$ 

 Hope that they at least turn out to be better than the ER4S.

About to grab my pair from the mailroom now. I don't think I'm going to say much about them one way or the other, but will state if they have less bass than the H-200 (the DN-1000 clearlly had more bass than the H-200).

 

[ericp10]

Plenty of bass, but I have some other issues with the Altone-200 that I will address with T-Peos before I type it here.

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

Ok I fired up AudioSigGen on my golden iPhone 4 and scketchbook'ed up how I hear this bad boy to the best of my ability.

Volume @ 8 clicks up from off
Amplitude @ -6dB


Bass presence starts at about 33. Two peaks at ~4.2k and 6.8K. Highs end at about 17.9K.

Just received my replacement pair (the first lot had less bass on the right channel, dynamic driver issue i suspect) and I am very pleased with them. Sound is significantly fuller when both channels match so I can finally appreciate the awesomeness of Altones. These have to be the richest sounding IEMs I own at the moment (when comparing them to my AX-35s, XBA-40s, Tenores,TDK IE800s, ATH IM50). Very well done T-Peos, I dont think I will be after another pair of IEMs for a while now.

Listening to my pair now. Initial impressions out of the box and one hour of listening. I know burn in will change opinions but so far...
 
They are very clear, detailed, and very crisp. However, I can't turn these up too loud without them being annoyingly bright. I hope this will settle down with burn in.
 
So far it sounds like a slightly brighter and more detailed and responsive version of the kc06 to me.
 
Mids are beautiful IMHO. They are detailed and just right. I'm hoping for a little more timbre with burn in.
 
Mid bass is spot on in tone, response and the speed is very fast.
 
Sub bass is lacking IMHO. I'm hoping burn in will bring this out a little more.
 
Soundstage width is good, but depth is not the greatest. Its much like the kc06 IMO.
 
I like them, but they are not my preferred signature.
 
Great for stuff like Mumford and Sons, or Bon Iver.
 
Not the best for EDM and mainstream pop music, at least so far.
 
I will post more impressions with further burn in.

That was the problem with the H-200. I think these are tuned better though. 


- The FX850 and CKR-9 are still quite far ahead of the of the Altone 200 in fullness and details. But this earphone is very good within its price range.
 
- There are some quality issues with the body of the earphone itself, however, that I have some problems with and will take up with T-Peos tonight.

Let me guess, is it where the cable meets the strain relief? I have issues with them also for the same reason if that's the case.

Thank you! for clarifying this..I want to know more about the comparisons between ckr9s and altones.

Any chance you can send pics?

Any chance you can send pics?

the exterior cable where it meets the strain relief at the housing came apart, exposing the inside wire. This happened when I tried pulling the ear guides off of them. I already used a flexible permanent adhesive to resecure them. If my fix doesn't work I will send a picture for sure. I don't want to be doom and gloom because these do sound really good. If my fix works awesome. If it doesn't I will be disappointed with my purchase.

What ear guides?   My Altone200 didn't come with any .....
 
I should be getting my second pair today - so now I'm really interested in seeing if there are any differences ..........
