Also received Tingo TG-JL1 - sounds heavenly so far.

Now that looks interesting to me....comparisons?

Dual voice coils in the TG-JL1! Looks like they fit into a Yuin shell! I don't want to be the first to jump in the pool though. . . .

It's a differently tuned "OEM version" of IE800. Not worth trying.

Even on Taobao only previous Tingo customers that can prove it can buy it. They won't ship to anyone else - will cancel the
purchase. Only total of 30 were made so far - 23 left at the moment.
 
Having said that, this Aliexpress seller managed to get one for me - even though it took almost 2 weeks to ship:

No guarantee they'll be able to buy more.
 
The shell is a PK1 one with black tungsten coating - much heavier than the original PK1.

Guys, let's keep this thread about earbuds.
For any IEMs, there is this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/newestpost/684159

First impressions:
 
TG-JL1 is as good or better than TG-38S, but due to size and weight may not be a good choice for everybody.
PK1 is not as good as TG-38S, but is still a good earbud.
Didn't listen to PK2 yet.

Where you listen pk1 from? Pk1 need a poweful amp to make it sing.

Am interested in hearing more about the TG JL1...it's a little more low key than the 38S...I know, vain, but I work in an office, and judgement is rife.

*EDIT* Who am I kidding...they have all seen my woodied Grados and Magnums....what's a pair of silver plastic earbuds?

are you saying that because the JL1 is smaller it is a drawback?

 

[dajackal]

i dont mean any offense, but out of curiosity do you guys collect earphones and try to see which ones offer the best performance for the money?
i'm looking forward to receiving my TG-38S, just received a delivery posted notification from dasetn
