^ Stock tips sounds they best for me so far, even though they look funky as hell. haha
 
But will tip roll some mo' later on.

Wait. you got the R3 for $30??

 

[vlenbo]

Try again ds....

 

[bhazard]

 
^ Just get them for $30 meng, i tried to lowball him and the best he said he can do was $29 shipped. haha
 
Worth EVER penny and then some.
 
Unless you buy them in bulk that is. : P

I'm listening. What is this crazy good value I need to hear?

 

[d marc0]

Oh! So is it the R3? I thought Sf was referring to the narmoo's!

 

[jant71]

 
Wait. you got the R3 for $30??

Well, if I'm buying one it might be something else since Raz sent me a couple of those R3's(one was DOA) already
 
I heard all will be revealed tomorrow? so I'm not ruining the surprise/stealing somebody's thunder!

This is an Oldie but a REAL goodie. Re-introducing the TEAC ZE1000
 
This thing looks harmless due to it's low profile built/ aesthetics but this lil' sucka packs a punch cuz under that benign shell lurks a duel armature beast that is waiting to be unleashed......
 

 
^ With conventional rubber tips these ZE1000s are VERY dry and CRAZY BASSY, which makes them sound somewhat like cheapo conventional bass iems. I have used the wide bore UE tips as well the the radioshack auvio tips and both gave me some intense brain rattling deep bass. So i was like the Fff, these are some duel BA iems!!!??? Why the hell do they sound like a damn dynamic in sound cuz the presentation is so natural and holistic that even the bass is BIG/DEEP/BOLD AND FULL  with crazy authority just like a dynamic would sound. 

  I was D'YAM these don't sound like any of the BAs that i have heard before and certainly doesn't appear to be some generic TWFK config that's fo' sho. haha So i was thinking maybe i should try out the stock tips instead even though peps warned me that they were junk and is funky as hell lookin'......
 
 
 

Lo and behold with the stock onion layered looking tips it gave these ZE1000s MUCH more air, hence micro details are much more overt/ forward along with great lush sounding mids. Now we're finally cooking some good stuff cuz all the amazing elements of BA drivers (amazing clarity, HD/3Dness, precision, micro detailing, staging, etc) are now much more apparent.  Not only that but the dynamic traits (natural timbre, great bold/deep bass, wholeness) that i have noted before with the conventional rubber deep bore tips are still present as well. It is just now MUCH more well integrated into the rest of the presentation.  The once boosted bass quantity with the conventional deep bore rubber tips which masked all those micro details and recess the lushness/ forwardness of the mids is now gone. The stock tips not only balanced the quantity but improved on the overall quality of the bass as well.  Therefore, these are kicking some SERIOUS dust with great staging, HD/3Dness, bass quality as well as quantity with crazy nice depth along with lots of the micro details/ lushness/ silkiness and great extension in the treble.
 
There is no longer any dryness in the sound cuz those onion layered stock tips adds much mo' air/ layering into the mix, hence these are sounding MIGHTY DAMN refined. MY GAWD!!!

 
SUCH a natural sounding bass/ presentation for a duel BA that for me can more than hang with the likes of Sony XBA-3s and even the KEF M200s on all fronts. BUT i kinda detect some funky resonance issues with certain tracks i have never heard from some particular songs/ recordings before. Kinda' strange but yeah....... not really a deal killer but still.

 
 
These are TRULY a GIANT KILLER for the price they are selling now, so GO GO GO while they are still around!!!

So this is a BIG Fufufufufufu to you lovely Canned Land folks cuz damn it ya'll were right on the money regarding this one................. for once.

 
This makes up for those MT300s, so we even now.

If you have a small punch, or piece of metal tubing, you might want to play with the filters. The stockers are the basic paper type, and you may have better luck with a small piece of foam or spandex.
