Yeah the TK12 is $120, will be $100 during AE sale. It's a dual BA plus one Dynamic and it's excellent
Got mine last Oct or Nov, haven't used them much over the past few months. Looked at them a couple weeks ago and there is a slight tear near the plug. Oh well
Yeah I constantly fall asleep listening to them. They are my relaxation set lol
Hey guys, how do these carbo basso and tenore compare to the sony ex650?
I ordered the vibro ARIA this week but wont get it for a few weeks. I dont really get along with the ex650 so thinking of picking up one of these models while I wait lol
hey buddy, I really cant pon point what it is cos alot of people love them and think theyre great value.I have no experience with the EX650 but I can tell you that the Tenore is:
1) Very smooth and balanced, with tight bass
2) Very small in profile and hence very comfortable
but
3) Has very insignificant strain relief and thin, fragile feeling cables. Rough and Carbo Tenore are two concepts that would never get along.
That's the TLDR on the Tenore, don't own the Basso so can't personally comment.
Out of curiosity, what do you not like about the EX650? Always had a passing interest on the EX budget line but never seemed to act on that interest. Never tried or owned any of the Sony IEMs with the EX model names.

Maybe I find them somewhat dark and because theyre made of brass, its as though i can tell they have a somewhat metallic sounding bass or something. I really dont know.
Sometimes I like them other times I dont, I can say the fit is great on them though, the tip is angled and they go deep in the ear.
I dont want to run them down I jus dont know why I dont get along with them all the time its strange, not sure lol
well I recently bought the RHA T20i as an upgrade and the sound was obviously better but I wanted a bigger improvement in sound quality.Quote:
Hmm Sony earphones and headphones do seem to be on the darker side, the ones I've tried at least. Maybe you'd like more clarity in your IEMs? Just a guess.
The brass housing could mean resonance is bouncing around the ear piece, which could create harsh treble and/or overwhelming bass? I'm not an audio engineer so I don't quite know haha
Don't worry about not liking the EX650, if they're not "the one" for you then maybe they just aren't. I've had this issue with my ME Electronics M6P Sport earphones, since they have splashy mids that I sometimes found irritating. That was an earphone that constantly made me wonder if I should've just spent more.
If you're still wondering about whether to get the Tenore, I think they're a very safe choice. However, if you want better build or more excitement in your music, like more bass, more energetic mids and/or more treble, you may want to look at other options. For more bass, perhaps the Basso. For more bass + more detail perhaps the new updated Vsonic VSD3S. JVC also may have good offerings.
Alternatively, you could stick with the EX650 and think about it a little more, that's always the smart thing to do. If you decide the EX650 is something you can live with, that's saving you some extra dosh.
