Thanks! Was pretty simple.  How long should it take Tenso to get the product and notify me to pay?

1-2 days.

Alright then :0

The drivers and tech are different tho.

I know a few headfiers who have them both and LOVED them.



-------------------------------------
So I finally got the SHE9700! Out of the box it sounds good, nice balance between bass and mids, doesn't sound as bassy as the 3580, very wide soundstage with decent imaging BUT it's quite sibilant to my ears to a point where it can sound a bit Thin as a whole. Currently on burn in, hopefully it'll change for the better. Comparison with the SHE3580 will be posted soon...

Theta Alpha 1, you said recently that the Green House MBK sounds very much like the ER4, which I see you also have. But the Etymotic supposedly has pronounced treble, whereas on the MBK it's very rolled-off. What made you draw that connection?

 
 
You need to add a 50 ohm resistor !!

HOH if they are like the ety by using a 50 ohm resistor... you may have found the discovery of the decade :O Some more daring members that have the ety's should tree these green house iems + the resistor and give a comparo..

Ah... and where do I find one of those cheaply?

Ask for 50 ohm in your message in the checkout section.

EDIT
 
150 ohm sounds really nice too, actually I think 150 is the closest sound to the Etymotic ER-4B with the smoothest and most extended treble, 100 ohm is too bright and tizzly, it's all relative to the impedance versus phase.

Thanks!

For those interested, I bought them from here.

For skeptics, the first graph here has peaks which resemble the peaks in the ER-4, and the third graph indicates resistors will increase the treble response.

I've tried 50, 100 and 150.  150 sounds the best, 50 is second best, 100 is too bright, perhaps 120 will sound nice?

Summary:  $21 IEM + $10 shipping + $13 resistor = $299 sound.
 
 
EDIT
 
How does it sound?
 
It sounds bright, spacious, airy, detailed and delicious, like licking lollipops under a blue sky on a sunny day at a picnic.
 
Weakness:  Bass.
 
Speciality:  Treble extension, realistic haunted-like imaging, voices inside your head (better than JH13!)

Fixed.

Sorry dont mean to derail the thread but im looking to pickup the carbo tenso and cks77x.

I compared tenso and jshoppers and it looks like jshoppers is a bit cheaper?

The predicament I have is.....these 2 iems are gonna be bought from amazon japan.

Will they need to be consolidated into one package or are they shipped as one single package from amazon japan?

New to this tenso stuff

Megan Fox, Nina Dobrev, and Emmanuelle Chriqui licking lollipops under a blue sky... um, what were we talking about again? Oh, right... headphones...

Tenso allows you to wait for both items to arrive and they give you the option of consolidation.
