What should I go for, Tone King Ninetails or Ch9T??
Some people are saying that CH9T is essentially outdated because Auglamour RT-1 does the same thing better for less money. Perhaps wait for real reviews of RT-1 which are undoubtedly coming soon.
What should I go for, Tone King Ninetails or Ch9T??
Initial listening of the RT-1 feels quite promising. Horrible judge of sound stage, but vocals are a little in your head instead of forward. Detail retrieval feels quite high for the price. Bass weight is noticable on non-bassy music, so certainly not neutral. They are by no means basshead level, as a fairly heavy bass EQ on Opus 1 results in a satisfying amount, but nowhere close to the same result as Rose Pudding or other bassy IEMs with the same EQ. Cymbals have a rather satisfying splash with quite a bit of life to them. Vocals are very certainly present.
So far, these might suit me better than Nine Tails, but very initial listening on both.
Also, Auglamour warns to not put the headphone near your heart, for what that's worth.

Yeah that last part is a no no for me, what you mean not put near my heart? That isn't something I want over me.Initial listening of the RT-1 feels quite promising.

Can you clarify the last part? I don’t think you could pay me to use an earphone I can’t have near my heart. I do not like the sounds of that.
Just got my TFZ King and I must say pleased. They sound like a baby HD 700, almost to a fault. That being said my HD 700 are modded with the audio house mod.
The one issue is the bass can be a bit overbearing with certain tips. The mids are fine, the highs are sort of fatiguing.
Like the HD 700 the cymbals and certain upper mid and high range can get piercing at loud volumes.
I like them so far. They isolate well. The soundstage like the HD 700 is deep and wide. There is a bit of an artificial feel to the mids upper mids and highs in terms of presentation. It sounds like listening to music coming out of speaks in your room. After everything they are fast and punchy, and just like the HD 700 these will not be everyone's cup of tea. After initial burn in, I can say these are like an acquired taste. Baby HD 700, that's my final verdict, it's up to you whether that's a good or bad thing. Btw I love my HD 700s.
HD700 is easy to love. You've caught my interest!

It's quite literally a written warning included with the IEM.
