Toneking-nine tail (single dynamic)

*The toneking punch WAY above their price point, IMHO.

Hi,

how does the Toneking Nine Tail compare to the Nuforce?

Hi,

how does the Toneking Nine Tail compare to the Nuforce?

I would say the nuforce is detailed and balanced, with excellent clarity in all frequencies. They are more clinical and colder sounding in comparison to the nine tails.
The nine tail also are very detailed in all frequencies, and extremely musical. In my opinion the bass is the star of the show with the nine tails. The bass digs deep and is very tight, without bloat. Also, the nine tail can be tuned to suit your sound preference. They're vastly underated in my opinion.

Many Thanks!
I do not like the Primo 8 playing voices. It sounds kind of tinny and muffled.
Is the Nine Tail better in this regard?

I agree the nuforce has thin sounding vocals, in my opinion. The nine tail has warmer, smooth and natural vocals to me.

Etymotic ER4P/S, the classics. Haven't heard the modern versions but they are supposedly unchanged.
Shure E4c haven't tried many dynamics tbh so I'm sure there are better modern dynamics these days, but these have served me well for a long time.
