Honestly for how good of a value these both are, I wouldn't even bother selling either of them.

I should be getting my Tenores tomorrow.  I want to compare them to the S-018 after burn-in.  I continue to be impressed at how good the S-018 sound (and with a nice fit) at the $13 price level.  My only frustration is the cord gets super twisty in the storage case.

My new. The hype is real. :basshead:

Ran into problems with shipito so I can't get them with any cheap economy shipping rates which leads me to use Taobao which is more expensive. Just a question, for 40 AUD (30USD), do you guys think the build quality is good enough to last for a good amount of time? 
 
Edit: I did read Voicemaster's short review saying they're good for the gym.

No, for 6 more dollars you can buy the TTPODS t1e

The sound on these are epic. Unless you know you can get these again at even a lower price then what you're getting them, I wouldn't suggest using these for the gym. You can get these for an ultimate "natural" listening experience out of wooden housings, but get something like HS-V9, SM-E30, S-MH415, M-X6, or M-X3 for a bass enhanced music experience for the gym.
 
.....I'm really enjoying my HS-V9 as I type my personal opinion.

Wow! I'm not kidding you.....as I hear the HS-V9 that came in today, they sound extremely close to the S-018. But, I will need more time with them on the burner to really determine their potential.

My friend said this out of the box.  Do these need burn in?
 
I have brought these home and compared them with my jbuds.
These are amazing. I'm using the same type of tips, so that's not a factor. It's hard to tell them apart.
For starters, soulsound is half the price. But they're not as immersive as my jlabs. Not as small. With less comfort being larger.
Being less immersive, its sounds are flatter, distant, bass is a little (very slightly) harder to hear, but they're both nice and clear.
Compared to Pistons, these were a clear winner. They're clearer, handle bass better, and are cheaper. But compared to my jbuds, well, I would like to keep mine.

I do have the TTPODs They sound great, but not to my taste. I think I figured that I might be a more Vocal/Mids person rather than one who loves bass.

I have never heard of the HS-V9 O.O Care to provide a link? I don't really want to use these for the gym, was just asking about the build quality and quoted Voicemaster saying they would be okay at the gym, so I guess the build quality is pretty good.

I drilled my vents all the way through. :/ Was I supposed to do it half way or something? I'm using the double flange tips for now to hold me off till I get some Comply tips. Not going to lie I'm constantly jumping back and forth between my new Pistons and my S-018. Pistons for the bass and S-018 for clarity and smoothness. I rarely pick up my Monster Turbines anymore.
