I'm so curious about these, as I loved the H300 so much. Can't compare to W40 without A/B (they broke), but from memory they should be close for half the price.

From what I'm hearing off-screen the Altone350 unit has been described as a reworked H-300, but not as bright. Rest assured they're all from the similar gene pool, H-300, Altone200, etc. Not much changes in the land of T-Peos. =)

Your best bet is to keep checking in here as the tour progress continues, a picture will be slowly painted.

What's required of us? 

Full review? Impressions? 

Do we have to write and perform an entire musical about them? 

I heard that it was a interpretative dance for this review...

 

[rovopio]

Has anybody who've heard the unit has compared them with altone200? Along the way, I would appreciate it if somebody can compare the treble response between this and the altone200...

I believe that H20Fidelity has described their characteristics quite well! Definitely not as peaky and bright at the top

I'm not on this tour, but am really curious what people think. The linked FR curves show large treble peaks, but I've heard from someone who's tried them out that they sound warm and don't sound overly bright. Sounds like a nice mix of impactful low end + enough high end to have good clarity without going overboard. I'm lined up for the NA tour but won't get the 350s for some weeks yet.

Was that someone me? My impressions after only a two-day, rather rushed mini test, as posted on the T-Peos Appreciation and Discussion Thread:
 
"Just had the Altone 350s for a couple of days last week. Very lush, rich SQ. Bit on the warm side. Found them very natural sounding, but a touch bass-heavy for my tastes. Overall very pleasant to listen to, and totally non-fatiguing. Good instrumental separation and clarity, with dynamic, spacious feel to music.
 
The housing cylinder of the 350 is on the big side (fairly wide and long). I had to fiddle with them a bit to get a comfortable fit as I tended to insert them too deep, which then caused vacuum issues in my ear canals. When I had them in a good listening position, I found the housing stuck out a bit, which made the cables flap about and not stay behind my ears, even with the provided ear wraps (there's no cinch to help keep the cables tight around the ears).
 
Build quality is great on these. Cable seems sturdy, as are strain reliefs. Really like the long plug-in style for the cable detachment... These are really solid, and I don't imagine they'll break down easily or have connection issues."
 
In follow-up discussion with @nmatheis, added: "Boomy-ness depended somewhat on what I was listening with. With X3ii+O2+350, there was a definite emphasis on bass throughout low end. Thought maybe that might be the amp, so tried X3ii+350 and the bass prominence was reduced greatly (though bass was still there, just tighter). Certainly the highs were more sparkly with just the X3ii. Then tried N6+350, and the bass effect fell somewhere between the two X3ii combinations (with and without O2). Full bass, maybe more on the sub bass than with O2, and more natural from mid bass through to upper registers. With N6 instrumental separation was very good, and music felt clear and dynamic. Still, my overall impression was of richness and prominent bass. Certainly "bright" was not a word that came to mind."
 
Happy listening!

Thanks for joining the party hakushondaimao. Yes, you and EmpJ have both commented on their warmth and lack of high end harshness. Hisoundfi mentioned something similar about Altone150.

T-PEOS - Have you turned over a new leaf?

The more I hear about these new Altones, the more excited I am to tear into the 250s waiting for me at work :wink_face:

Look forward to hearing your views.

 

[EmpJ]

We're pretty excited about this line because they will probably fit the musical tastes of more people with the tamer highs. 
 
The 150s are actually described by T-PEOS as providing "popular sound" - meaning emphasis on lows and mids giving that fun sound. 

 

[nehcrow]

Damn, this sounds like a refreshing changeup for T-Peos, going to hold off until some reviews start pouring in

 

[svyr]

sorry for the delay, here's my review for A350 =)

I think White Lotus is probably not far behind either, since the tour unit is with him now =)

Great review mate, slowly a picture is forming.

Very curious to see how these go up against the DN-1000!
