Those Tenores look sexy!
They sound sexy too.
Look what came in.
Sweetness. Look forward to read about both of em. Mine cleared with Tenso.. But it is draw of the luck on how fast it gets to me.
I wonder how these Tenores compares with the Vsonics VC02 which Joker values at a perfect 10 here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-284-iems-compared-sony-mh1c-added-06-09-13-p-704/9600#post_9199207
I hadn't really read about the VC02's until just now. It's hard to ignore a 10 value rating from |joker|, that's for sure! So yeah, someone bring on the comparison to the Tenores! Or the VSD1's for that matter.
Well, that's just what all the sub-$100 vsonics have in common - a 10 value rating. It's not just the vc02. Do you wanna bet what will be the VSD1 value rating?
I look forward to my girly white pair.
Some initial impressions:
CKS77X has a huge sound. Stage is ultra deep, I mean ultra deep. It might give the CKS1000's a run for its money in this department. Unfortunately, that's about it for comparisons with the flagship. Bass is monstrous and loose. I don't remember the CKS77's being this big but it's been awhile since I heard those. Bass has good mix of sub-bass and mid-bass and it vibrates the eardrums with bass heavy music. Even on music without big bass, these things bring out the bass. I honestly can't remember the last basshead earphone with this much crazy bass. Thankfully the midrange doesn't suffer from the bass. Like the new generation AT's, the vocals are very present and it doesn't get very sibilant. Treble has some peaks but nothing bothersome. There's plenty of sparkle and sounds quite excellent. These things are gonna need some burn-in so the bass calms down and the treble smoothes out.
