  I just got some tenores and they do sound really good. Great seperation, clarity and mids. One problem...I need more bass.....do these open up a bit with some burn in? These are brand new out of the box.....so far loving them I just wish they had a bit more thump
 
Bass is there its just quite light.....for example my Monoprice head phones with the hole blocked off has more bass than these.....did I get a bass light pair because I hear people saying these are borderline too bassy of they have decent bass...I wouldnt say so....

Hi loki993, well for me I'm on the BASSOs because I don't feel that Tenores are bassy, and I've heard that loads but not sure why. I think on Tenores, it's adequate bass, present. But definitely no thump. Bassos work for me. Nothing with that clean, tight bass on that price range. Sorry to say but looks like you should have gotten Bassos/Doppios.

My Tenores pound with plenty of thump using the Meelectronics double flange tips on the first page.  Bassos had too much bass for me and inferior mids.

Compared to other 'neutral' IEMs Tenores really do pack a punch. They even show nice creamy layer of sub bass which is pretty evident after about 80hr burn in.

I think it's the lack of mid bass punch that gave you the impression of bass light. tbh i do think they lack a bit of mid bass. the Basso on the other hand has too much mid bass for me.

Yeah well fortunately they're both relatively cheap.

See this is what Ive seen some people say they're fine others..not enough..not sure if its peoples ears or production variations. Ive only tried 2 different tips..the stock mediums which were fine but a bit uncomfortable...and some ebay comply foamy knockoffs that don't really fit all the great but they are very comfortable and sound good. Still didn't help the bass a ton though. I can give the mee electronics a try....what about real comply foams? Which ones fit does anyone know?

Maybe you could trade your Tenores with someone who's got a bass heavy pair and wants less bass?

Yeah anythings possible for sure but Im going to give then a while to see if anything changes though.

Vocals on the tenore, how would they compare to the hifiman re-400, UE 600, and rockit sound r-50??

Really looking to get some great vocal iems for under $100

You can check IM50 for some great vocals. 

 My Tenore is on the way now. Probably will get it next week.  If you have time to make a decision I can give my initial impressions when I get them.

Well I think they're not named BASSo and TENORE for nothing. I have both, and after a month of burn-in, both are significantly different! Really depends on what music you're listening to as well..

THIS.
 
I have IM50 and Tenore, I'm always prefer IM50 for vocal (listening some jazz and pop), or buy FAD Heaven II instead.

I know but from what I read it seemed like the Tenore had less bass than the Basso but it was still adequate for most people and the tenore did more things better. IT seemed like the Tenore was the better all around performer and the basso was really for mostly hip hop and EDM. As least thats what I gathered from what I saw.

The Tenore's are more balanced, which is more to my preference. Basso's are bass canons.... bit to much for me. Depends on your personal preference as to which one would be better.   

 

[loki993]

I'm definitely a basshead but I was looking for something a bit balanced. I think I will get the bassos eventually because you can never had too many right.....but Ill give the Ternore some time. I'm really liking them for rock though.

If you're a basshead, the basso's would definitely be up your alley.
