  Great pics. The Tenore are the best-looking phones imo. Small and simple. You should try the Sony MH1 tips on them. They are working best for me. Just buy a cheap pair of mh1 for that ;D

Thanks. And I do agree. Too sad that the beauty is so tiny sized. You really need to look from close to see the wonderful carbon composite body texture.
 
Currently I'm using Small sized sony hybrids. Tenores go really deep into ear canal that way and isolation is good. They also do stay better than the stock ones. I tried to search for mh1c tips a lot but I couldn't find any place to buy it in my place (India). mh1 is priced kinda higher here... will buy but next month. Kinda broke this month.

The MH1 are priced 5€ (7$) here in Germany, but they need an adapter to properly function. Their sound-sig is really something unique. Smooth, lush, warm with a very relaxed, but still clear treble and clear thick mids. I never heard a IEM with such a unique and at the same time great sound-sig. I really preferred them over my Tenore at the beginning. 
 
Their technical aspect is subpar though, retrieval of details, resolution and bass precision is really lacking. My biggest wish is that someone would release a high-end MH1 with a little bit more sharpness in the treble. 
 
Now I mainly use my Tenore though, but they are still worth a listen. I hope you find a cheaper price.

That's really interesting to know. Maybe I could get one mh1, replace its tips by something lying around and gift it to someone, keeping tips for myself :D  The earphone looks fantastic as well!
I checked once again, not available here at all. Need to import ~
 
If you remember how was your tenore before and after burn in? Mine is at around 24-30hrs and has become better for sure. Will post my detailed finding once I cross 50hr mark.

When I first received my Tenore they sounded boring, flat, bassless with harsh treble. I was disappointed as hell.
 
Only after 2 months of occasional use I began to really like them. Bass became more prominent, mids came more upfront and treble became more relaxed. Everything opened up and I could feel the body of my msuic.
 
Now I am using my Tenore like 75% of the time.

I see... I loved the tenores out of the box for the details they reproduce (Maybe tenores are my first earphones of 'Detailed' sound signature) and deceptively higher bass considering their tiny size. It is still less for me because I've been almost entirely been using my XB90EX for past year. That one is a sub-bass monster!!! Might overcome this issue after some brain burn-in. 
 
and I agree, bass feels more prominent than it was before.

How much difference do these tips make? Currently i am using sony hybrids (for reference they dont make much difference than stock tips). Need an opinion before I go order.

These Tenore's timbre is at whole another level (I don't have experience with pro audiophile gear yet, see my signature for what I do have). After enough burn-in I'm really feeling it now.
 
I felt like sharing this just because after so many days/months I was able to reach to musical Nirvana ^_^  and I totally give the credit to tiny tenores.
 
My TTPODS also arrived today and rocking good out of the box but they'll need some burn-in. Some part of frequency sounds kinda harsh. Maybe I'm comparing these with the tenores, which are one of the best out there for smoothest highs. Tenores also smoothened a lot after 30-40hrs.

A in-depth comparison would be really appreciated. I am considering the TTPODS for a long time now.

will do. For sure. Just give me some time... While my tenores have right amount of burn in on them, the TTPOD haven't even seen 3 hrs of use.

Keep eye on the TTPODs thread.
