    The first pair I bought lasted me a year and a half before one channel cut out. I bought a second pair without hesitation.

    Review by 'Darknecron' on item 'TTPOD T1-E High Definition Dual Dynamic Professional In-ear Earphone'

    First off, I would like to say that anyone who gives this less than four stars either: 1.  Received a fake pair 2.  Is a troll / is lying 3.  Has godawful taste in sound   I'm not actually going to write a review at all... twister6 's review pretty much covers it.  I do have to say...

    I find that wearing these backwards improves the seal dramatically.

    I also grabbed a pair in that sale.  $35 after my almost-expired Egg Points.

      Indeed they are.  The comparison I linked covers their portability (lack thereof).

      If I may suggest, take a loot at the NVX XPT100.   My comparison of the CAL! and XPT100.

      The first pair was defective, but the second pair was indeed operating as intended.  Their treble is very overpowering with velour pads (more than any other set of cans I own [ I don't have the Superlux set mentioned above]) since the velour reduces bass / midbass quantity.  With the HTF600's...

      The warmness of the HTF600 flattens out into neutrality when you use velour earpads.  I am using the ones from my NXG HeadTrip NX-HTDJ...it was quite a squeeze to get them on though.  I also discovered that the NX-HTDJ sounds infinitely better with the HTF600's pleather pads...the NXG...

      Sigh...then either the retailer I ordered mine from is intentionally selling defective units, or NXG is re-branding Monoprice's factory rejects...or they just have godawful quality control.

    Unless I received a SECOND defective pair, those NXG NX-HTDJ I mentioned earlier (rebrand of the Monoprice 108323) are VERY bright.  Almost intolerably so (brightest cans i have ever heard).  Yet again, the bass (which is quite light) is several decibels louder from the left cup than from the...

      Yep, they are actually cheaper on amazon in the US ($15.70 after shipping).  The first pair I got was defective...everything under 120hz came out of the left earpiece...very strange.  Some kind of impedance mismatch / not enough winds on one of the drivers?  No idea.  I'll be pissed if the...
