I am really interested in trying these out. I am relatively new to IEMs and right now stuck with the upgraded Apple ones, which aren't too bad for the moment. I need something light and low profile to go on hikes and walks, especially during winter (need to wear a hat to keep my lack of haired-skull from getting frostbitten) and even my V-Moda XSs get in the way. The problem I am having is that I get no bass extension with the apples. I am not a bass-head, but would like to get some extension in those lower ranges.
So...long-winded way to say that I think I am going to try these as I like the over ear version I have and see what comes of it...unless someone can think of something similar in the same price range and sound signature (which is only a guess right now). I am also considering the Xiaoami Piston 2 but not sure about that.
i owned the Piston2 for about 4 months. they were great (especially for the price) until my cat chewed threw one of the cords. i have since picked up the TTPOD T1e and i think i actually prefer the T1e. the bass is a little tighter, but still robust but it has better mids n highs imo. the T1e also look a little cooler. to be honest, i think you'd be happy with either choice. they both have a great "fun" sound. i would not recommend them for any professional or analytical use. but for your hikes, they'd get you pumped up.
