I had Basso and agree.  Tenore is much better,..many IEMs better in my sig.  Basso's bass overpowered the vocals and the vocals are not as airy.

So what's new in the world of IEMs? Still rocking my Tenores after getting some nice double flange tips. Man, if Zero Audio made a Tenore with a better cable/build quality, they'd have all of my money!

Still may upgrade to something since I have some spare funds but it's a case of sorting the good from the bad IEMs and finding ones that match what I want (Similar sound signature to Tenores but improved sound, similar levels of comfort, better build quality).

Don't have the Basso, have theTenore and the Duoza, the Duoza (and the Titan 1, and the Fidue A83) are just MUCH better than the Tenore, IMO.

Although the Tenores are great for the price, I concur.

Tenor's were my favorite ZA until Duoza came along.

If any of you guys are into earbuds, you`ll wanna check out the VE Zen:

A few of us were lucky enough to get review units from Lee (@zhibli06). I've been listening to mine for a couple of days, and even though it is recommended that they are burned in for 200 hours, I'm already smitten. It takes a lot to tear the Titan1's out of my ears and keep them torn out, but the Zens are succeeding (they sound especially amazing off of my Xuelin Ihifi 770 dap). They are wonderfully balanced, have an incredibly detailed and layered bass, lovely mids and smooth yet extended highs - a very nice timbre. The sound is very engaging, and some of that must be due to the PRaT of which ClieOS speaks. And they have excellent imaging and soundstage. Really nice.
 
More to come, but these earbuds are the real deal. And I am surprised to find that I am quite enjoying the earbud form factor. Good stuff!

Are these buds better sounding than the Titan 1? I like my E0921 a bit better than the Titan 1 straight out of my A15. Of course those Zen don't seem to work that well straight out of the A15 since they are 320 Ohm.

At this stage, I feel that they sound about equally good, but definitely different. The titan's bass and highs are more forward and in your face, and the highs are brighter and more shimmery. Zens seem more balanced with the mids a bit more elevated sounding than then Titans, and thicker sounding and smoother overall (but they may change with further burn in). I honestly can't pick a favorite at this time.

Yup. I didn't think that the Zen would sound so good off of my 770, but the 770's "120mw+120mw @ 32ohm" output has no problem pushing them.
 
Edit: the Zen are sounding really good off of the C3/BH combo.

 

[doctorjazz]

I have a pair as well, sounds great out of my Pono, better if I add C5 amp. Still in preliminary impressions, not burned in yet. Haven't compared in detail to Titan 1, will at some point. Never really been an ear bud person, taking a bit to get the hang on inserting them so they stay in, but I'm starting to get it. More later.

How do the Duoza's fit in the ear? They look kinda funky..

Is it hard to get them to stay in the ear? I still remember the earbuds that came with my iPhone 4 and it would irritate my ears after repeated attempts to keep them jammed in there. Wish they went with a titan like fit.

I'm getting better, takes a while to get used tothe idea you're not SUPPOSED to get a seal, just get the bud to sit between the folks of your upper east just below the canal...at least if I've got it right...

They look funky, spikes and all, but they actually fit nicely, at least with me. Believe I put spiral tips on them, though may have been Ultimate Ears. Look quite than they really are.
