Received my Tenore yesterday. They sound fine but I don't think they are blowing other IEMs in this range out of the water....

Give it time mate, and burn in.
 
They are better than my EPH-100 now.

Great news. My Tenore's are on the way! I'm so excited!

i agree with you. Even to my ears, they are good.. but not ''Holy smokes, ive found nirvana" good. I usually use them during my relaxing sessions. They definitely are silky smooth to me.

I have the Tenore, and while the SQ and instrument separation of this IEM is outstanding, there is something on it that I feel it is not right. I cannot say if it is the sound stage, or perhaps the air pressure it creates when I use it (I get an almost perfect isolation and it seems that the air pressure in my ear after I put the headphone stays longer than other IEMs). 
 
This week I received an Ostry KC06A I had ordered some time ago (see this thread for more info), and I would say that the Ostry is as good or even better than the Tenore. Anyway, I will keep listening it so with more time I will be able to better evaluate it. But in two days of using the Ostry, I can say I am more than satisfied with it.

I looked at those and even though the sound quality looks promising, I think the fit and lack of isolation is a definite no no.

Well, even i was of the same opinion.. But its when i used the Yellow whirlwind tips from T1E that the KC06A clearly outclassed my tenore's. (These are just my impressions based on my hearing.. No offense meant to anyone.. )

It amazes me how many good iem units are on the market. I comes out to fit. Price. And sound signature.

Where I live there is no way to demo these items so you kind of have to buy them and hope they work out

Just got the Carbo Tenores today. They are excellent! Especially for the price! I love the sound stage, and the awesome bass impact. The mids are better than the Shure SE215, and that (to me at least) is saying something since Shure's house sound has everything to do with the mids...) I love them so far!
 
Also, carbon is pretty cool...

Here's an old trick for highly isolating IEMs, after you've inserted them, take a quick pull at your ear(lobe) to break the seal just for a split second and equalize air pressure.

Out of curiosity, what other IEMs do you think the Tenore compares favorably with in this price range?

Haha. Well, I was just impressed with how good they sound, given its price tag. I paid only ~$30 for the Tenore, but it did so many things better than my Shure SE215, and matched even my Westone 3 in certain technical aspects (treble, for example). They certainly are a contender for a bang for the buck champion. I'd say that we're living in a good time now - there are so many affordable IEMs delivering quality that would have cost a few hundred bucks a few years ago.

Hopefully soon I'll be getting some new JVC FXH-30s to see how they compare to the Tenores.

I'm quite sure they will be a few steps above Tenores.
