I hear zero difference when removing the filters, my ears are probably to old

Have you tried various insertion methods?  I found the grainy/sissing when you insert and have a vacuum (sucking) seal.  A neutral pressured seal seems to eliminate most of the sissing for me..

 
Thanks for the advice. I'll try it as soon as possible. I do have a vacuum seal with my tips...

  Grayson73, are the bores on the MEElectronics M6 double-flange eartips smaller, the same size, or larger than the Tenore's nozzles? Also, do they need spacers to stay on tightly?
 
Right now I'm using some old double-flanged tips from an old SoundMAGIC IEM (they look like these I believe) using spacers on the nozzles and the sound is amazing. I'm getting much better isolation using these tips as well. The bores on these are about as wide as the nozzles themselves.

I don't use them with spacers and they don't fall off when I take them out of my ear.  However, they are not tight.  I actually lost one when I was in the airplane because it knocked against something.
 
I haven't tried with spacers, but if you want them really tight, you'd need spacers.

  i have never operated on any iem b4...
pls shed more light, before i do something i REGRET..
wayne...is it a metal mesh? i can push it back later if i want to?
 
cos as of now, it is very enjoyable on vocals.
( still holding back the verdict on classicals..waiting for more burn in..)

 
Sorry Lors, but I really don't know. Good luck!

  Funnily enough I was just listening to Lindsey Stirling's album. Very nice.
 
Yiruma also sounds beautiful with the Tenores; River Flows In You, May Be and Kiss The Rain are beautiful songs.

So do you like them more than Basso so far?  You spent a lot of time deciding which one to get since the Basso died; hope you're happy

Only the black filters and nothing more

Just ran into Tyll Hertsens at T.H.E Headphone show in Newport. Had him listen to both pairs of my Tenores starting with the more bassy pair. He liked it a lot, but said there was a bit too much bass. So I gave him the less bassy pair. He noted a big difference between them, "a lot less bass and more etched" he said.

With that big of a difference, he said there's no chance for review. How can he recommend it with that kind of variance?

Interesting. Checked out the RE400 and 600 as well. Heading to Noble.

Haha!  +1!
 
Burn in both and see if they equalize.

I've been trying different tips all evening, and it helped the grainy and hissing (thanks ebrian) but the cymbals still don't sound right to me. 
I'm thinking about trading them instead of selling since I'm going to waste the money on iems anyway.

Such a shame about the product variance we are finding but explains why there are occasional impressions that are just so different from some.

Gnarls.. full sized headphones might not be up your alley, but would you be able to swing by the HiFiMan booth and tell me/us a little about the HE-560 & HE-400i (PM or post in the appropriate thread would be appreciated).
 
Thanks..

 

[gnarlsagan]

Sure thing. I'll shoot you a pm.

Sorry guys! I wanted to give the Tenores a good impression, but I had to be honest with what I have here. I couldn't just give him one pair and leave it at that. I have two different sound sigs here. One bright, one warm.
