would the good people of head-fi recommend the m9 or the ttpod as my first IEMs? i have always been a earbud guy. i'll be running them un-amped with my sansa clip. i listen to all kinds of music but mostly rock (punk, indie, blues) and EDM (disco, electro, dubstep, glitch) and i enjoy a fun, punchy sound.

I would personally recommend the M9 Classic. Why? First of all, it's about 1/3rd the price of the TTPod. Second, IMO they do more genres better. Third, "punchy" more accurately describes the M9 than the TTPod, which is more basshead-friendly stuff.
Doesn't everyone? Practically all the new Chinese brands, from no-name brands (KZ) to actually-known-in-China branded IEMs (TTPod) are better than Pistons.
I still disagree with you. The Pistons, especially for $20 are really good. Especially handy if you have an Android phone or tablet that works with the controls. Almost all do with the exception of the Moto G and a few others.
thatBeatsguy not sure if I asked you, how many pairs of Pistons did you try?

I was being sarcastic. Too many people on the Chinese brand thread and the Pistons thread (including the Pistons 2.0 thread that I started) have argued with me time and time again about how the Pistons pale in comparison to other stuff like KZ IEMs and the TTPods.
I know they sound good -- hell, I started the f'ing hype train, for crying out loud. They still remain my favoriet budget IEMs to date, but seeing as so many people are saying they suck and whatnot, I thought I should just go with the flow, I guess. No need to fight a losing battle.
Also, it seems recommending the Pistons will probably bring about a detractor or a full-blown hater to the scene, so I thought it'd be best that I refrain from doing so. Again, let me just say this -- the Pistons are my favorite IEMs. Ever.
If you must know, I've tried only two pairs -- the old 2.0 version and the iF Edition 2.1. I plan to purchase another one for old times' sake.
Your going to love them! I also have the Vsonic GR07 Classic and the TTPOD are good enough for most music that I listen to!
The TTPOD's include a good assortment of tips, and odds are one of them will work for you. But if you can't get adequate fit or sound isolation check out:
I also have ordered TTPOD from Shenzhenaudio. This is my first ever international purchase and dunno how much time will it take to get here in India...
