I don't think it'll have enough bass for a metal fan

It depends on the listener. I love dream theater and they kick @$s on the tenore.

 

[mejoshua]

That's true too. It really depends on your listening preferences

 

[luisdent]

 

Yes. This is the weak point in my opinion. Had mine fail at that point. Or I should the wire came out completely with exposed copper. They still work but probably only becaused I stopped using them now. Kc06 all the way with er4s for critical stuff

 
Care to take a picture of it? Just asking, 'cause from all I've seen so far, it's just the outer sheath coming off, whereas the inner wire isolation remains intact.

 
I can't believe it, but i lost them. haha. But I already posted a picture in the past here of the issue. It only got worse and they came out further...

Another Tenor bites the dust.

They still worked before I lost them. haha. But the wire was worse than the photo. Nothing was holding it in but the connection to the driver. It was only a matter of time before it came loose I'm sure. Now where the heck did I store them? ha

Yeah, mine weren't quite that bad but they're getting there, so I'm scouting out for a replacement that I'll love just as much without the questionable build quality. I love how small the Tenores are but I guess anything cylindrical shaped will work with my ears as long as they're not huge like the XBA-H1s were that I tried.

Yeah that is what Happened and is happening to mine, and it sucks, I ended up grabbing a Havi b3 and it sounds very spacious and good detailed, but I feel like the Tenores are just a little more enjoyable for alternative and rock than the Havi's are.

I'm all over the ostry kc06 as my main iem. I use the er4s for critical listening. With the two I'm currently very content. And I'm a neutral frequency response whore. But the ostry works well for me and is only slightly non-linear, but in a very non-offensive way. Some people hear treble spikes, but I get minimal to no peaks with the right tips. It's more just a slight upper mid dip and slightly boosted bass. But nothing compared to other iems. Extremely durable. I've accidentally beat the crap out of my kc06 and they are not even phased.

Wrong! The B3's are more enjoyable for alternative and rock and everything!
 
Well, for me anyway lol

And I love the kc06's as well! Have you tried the B3's @luisdent ?

I'm glad someone else around here still loves their Ostrys...now that the KC06 hype train has traveled on its way into the sunset.

That is until my kc06a's arrive, at which point the kc06's will be kicked unceremoniously to the curb!
 
Just kidding, I'll always love'em

Haven't heard those.

And yeah the ostry kc06 are top notch iems.

 

[waynes world]

Knowing yout preferences, I can't help but feel that you would love them. Baycode's 1st post provides a lot of good info. Before I got them I suspected a lot of it was just hype. Now I know better

Finally got some free time on my hands, gonna scout around and read some reviews to see what to upgrade my Carbo Tenores to. Altones are one of the contenders so I'll read some reviews and whatnot. I guess I'm just looking for something that has a similar sound signature to the Tenores but maybe improved sound and build quality. Comfort shouldn't be an issue as long as I stick to 'bullet' shaped housings (Tenores are stupidly comfortable to me because of their small size and simple shape). Any suggestions I should look at or do the Altones fit the bill?
