I'm on head-fi to talk headphones, and i don't want to be suspicious if someone really thinks a pair is good, or if they just want to hype a product so they can share aff links.

 
Plus, it's against forum rules is it not?

 

[hoerlurar]

yes, but i already linked to the forum rules last time i told gemmoglock to stop using affiliate links...

Really annoying part is this time they're trying to disguise the fact it's an affiliate link by using text to cover up the link.

On topic, I really hope my Tennmak Pro's come in soon as I'd love to test them out, as I'll be using them to look into whether or not I'm going to go for somewhat higher end IEM's or not. Other items I ordered during 11.11 have started coming in, so I'm hopeful the wait won't be much longer.

I have decided, I will order a pair of kz zs3 and since they are so cheap at gearbest I am still left with a bit of money.
So what should I try for around 13 euros ? Ensear t2,tennmak dulcimer ? Any other ?

These Somic V4 are not as popular as the KZ earphones but they are very well regarded by a head-fier who has tried many chinese IEMs: http://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_351816.html  Here's the review: http://www.head-fi.org/products/new-arrival-somic-v4-double-moving-coil-in-ear-earphones/reviews/16609
 
If you want some very unique and fun sounding earphones the KZ ZS1 are regarded as some of the most curious in KZ's line. The interest they sparked in some head-fiers whose opinion I hold in high regard was enough to get me to order some: http://www.gearbest.com/earphones/pp_273867.html
 
And if you decide to grab the KZ ZS1, since both it and the ZS3 are what I'd consider warmish bassy earphones then perhaps you'd like to have a more analytical earphone for when you want to appreciate a song's greater details. If that is the case then I suggest the KZ ATR: http://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_432000.html
 
Those are my suggestions from Gearbest's lineup of earphones.

I'm sitting here listening to the Tennmak Pro's, while streaming "Trad Folk - Jigs & Reels" from Spotify to my Onkyo DP-X1, and they really do sound good.  Their sound is slightly forward, due to the Mid-Bass / Mid-Range level being higher than models that are more "V-shaped".  To me, they have plenty of Bass, and the Highs, while being smooth & clear, may not be quite as extended as some of the balanced-armature units.

Thanks for the suggestions, I also accept suggestions from aliexpress if anyone has any.

I am not very sure how I am not talking headphones, and from my review in my signature it is clear I think it is good. Furthermore, it is quite clear to any forum member there is no hype train going on the KZ models. If that's the case mentioning VE Monks on Massdrop would be a cardinal sin.
 
However to avoid people being suspicious in the future, I will not post links so don't worry Links have been removed, thanks @hoerlurar, @B9Scrambler and @WhiteWulfe for pointing out! I did notice the quotes from you guys seem to have the link still up so maybe you can edit those?

My friends have pretty good impressions about Tennmak Pro, but the sound issues with buggy MMCX connectors may be a deal-breaker for some!
 
I hope someone tries the new Fiio F1 and F3 as they fit within the budget

Well, here's hoping they show up soon then, and doubly so because I'm curious as to what $42 CAD (purchased it with the extra/upgrade cable) gets one compared to the $6.92 (KZ ATR) to $12 CAD (KZ ZS3's) price range. ^_^  Don't quite know if I'd wind up testing them out on that playlist as such instruments aren't always my cup of coffee, but I'm hoping it won't be too too hard to find an IEM I not only like, but one that agrees with me too ^_^

 

[gobin]

So now I've ordered both the KZ ZS3 and Tennmak Pro for Christmas' presents (yay me!). I just can't pass the $19 deal on the Pro.
 
I hope to see some impressive sound stage and isolation from the Pro, and not to have issues with cable connection...

Guys keep us posted on KZ vs Tennmak Pro!
 
If anyone has connection fixes other than deoxit, or a cheap place to get deoxit please share

 

[chompchomps]

Did the price of the pros just increase? damn its $24 now
