you sure?  they look like they have holes/ports.  maybe its just aesthetic. 

Edit: Oops, not Black TTPOD... Yeah, the IE800 are vented and TTPOD T1-E are not.

Sincere apologies, I stand corrected.

i wonder how the t1e's would sound if someone were to drill little ports in them like the ie800.    someone get on this.

I like my t1-e stock signature to try it myself. Probably would need like a special dremel bit to drill it.

haha, i like mine too......and also do not have the proper tools.

Lol, I could probably do it to mine if I end up buying a new pair in the future because of the buzzing noise(if it gets worse). But I am out of state for a few weeks, then have the semester starting, and I don't think I'm buying a new pair soon. Cause I have iems to try in the nearish future
My dad might have a drill bit small enough, but idk.

I own the ttpod-t1e and I love the sound. I am wondering how does the ttpod-t1e compare to the Fidue A83 or the DUNU DN-2000? Would this be a worth while upgrade?

I found some IEMs in the $100 range that outperformed the T1-E by a wide margin. I haven't tried the DN-2000 or the A83, but I have a feeling that the case would be the same. The T1-E are decent sounding for their price, but I won't say they punch above their weight or anything of the sorts.

Thanks Dinerenblanc for the info.
Any suggestions of the IEMs in the $100 range that provide an improvement over the TTPODs?

Vsonic GR07 comes to mind. I really love them

GR07 and IM50/70.

Hello Ira Delphic and ZapX629,
 
Which version of the GR07's are you talking about, the Bass Edition or the "normal" Mk2? Are the NAD Viso HP20's decent?
Damn, I thought the TTPODs were good... oh boy.

 

[luberconn]

i hear good things about the kef m200 too as a good upgrade.  right now i'm leaning toward im70., m200 and gonna wait for more reviews on the ttpod t2

GR07 Classic. But there are a bunch of new IEM's coming out in that price range - so take your time!

 

[ImperialBlade]

Oh wow, I just picked up on luberconn statement about the TTPOD T2. Sonofagun....
 
So is the sound quality from the GR07s / AT IM70s that much "inferior" than the Dunu DN-2000 / Fidue A83? 
 
I guess my ask is, there is a point of dimishing return with everything and that is true in IEMs. I would rather "buy once / cry once" a stellar pair of IEMs but not at the point where I need to sell a kidney. My fiscal cap is $300, but I don't need to spend that much all the better.
