What are they like?

What are they like?

Very comfortable, good soundstage with emphasis on bass and mids. Not using my main source right now, but my phone drives them very well

What do I get to cover the back holes on earbuds? Does just regular electric/hockey tape do the job or do I need something more specialized?

Yes duct tape usually is sufficient....

Got a deal on the Shozy BK that I could not pass up. Time to play the waiting game, though its likely less of a waiting game than having them shipped from China. Here's hoping they are what I'm looking for in a PK shell.

Happy for you! Bk a classic and a reference. I found that a lot of people keep comparing TOTL of various brands to Bk!

I have both Bk and Bk blue(the silver cable edition). They are very enjoyable buds.

They could use any plug they wanted but had to go for a cheap imitation of Oyaide, at the price point and in an allegedly TOTL product I find this decision questionable. Use the real deal, charge $10 more for it if you get scroogey and don´t want it to eat up any of your already fat profit margin, et voilá, nobody would complain and we wouldn´t be having this discussion.

Frankly, I wish they either used some real one（any brands) or use the real oyiade and charge the damned $9.99.

We don’t depend on oyiade to get good SQ. A lot of TOTLs simply use some good plugs.

I hate to see fake ones.

 

[ClieOS]

If you really can't get pass the Oyaide clone, just don't buy it.

 

[redkingjoe]

Sure, but at this level I think it's more about SQ and TM9 does deliver in that area. The "too polite" sound signature that I sort of complained about is something that Blox was aiming for. Just like the "too bloody sharp" highs of Rose Mojito was something that they aimed for.

Arguably, low cost cheap imitation products use inferior material! Lower grade product affects sound quality.

For example, in the earbuds history of Sony’s mdr e 868, 888, 484, Sony used some inferior plugs or cables in some of the productions. The sound quality was compromised!

Unless we put the real one on TM9, we don’t know the full potential of it!

I am sure that Woo and the 1 or 2 others at Blox know what they are doing. The drivers of TM9 are 100% handmade by Blox. So I am sure that they carefully have selected each component for the TM9 earbuds.

Very true. Unless there's literally signs of bad workmanship like a dodgy solder job or poorly braided cable I think we have to give the benefit of the doubt that the oyaide clone is good quality and doesn't effect SQ.

Just bought a ibasso dx200 with amp 8 from a headfier. Anybody know good buds to use with it to give me a warm analytical sound?
