Lol... I see another T10 user... Have been using it for the pass 3 days and I must say that it is for people who love treble... This IEM can deliver good vocal tune reproduction .... Like i mentioned in the TC20 thread... it is for people who want to listen to music until your ears bleed. The T10 sure beats the crap out of the Sony earphones that I got it for my ex- Ipod mini... As a standalone IEM to my Ipod Nano, it can stand on it own without fail. After a short audition with the xtra X-1 amp at Wilson's shop today, I can feel a further improvement to my T10.... i bought it without further thoughts... Now I need to run in my X-1 for a few days..:P For a noob in mini amp arena, I am rather surprise that such devices even exist to further improve SQ.... No thanks to a friend who introduce me to his mini amp addiction

I think someone mentioned this, but the driver units look rather much like the V Moda Vibes. Nice aluminum style enclosures. |

Ok, had time to test a good selection of songs with the TC10 this evening. The TC10 is an IEM with a rather strong treble but weak bass. I paired mine with my LDM+ for this series of tests and felt that it's better than the TC10/X-1 Combo
Strong vocals come out well with this IEM.Albums Used: Camille - Le Fil Corrinne May - The Gift Celine Dion - Let's Talk About Love |

I like everything about these little IEM except the sound. I find them shrill and unrefined and totally lacking in any meaningful bass. I hope they change but as it is I would not give them to my daughter to listen to. Is there any way to see your cursor as you type? I feel like I type here in the blind as I have no idea where my cursor is or how far I space if I want extra space for some reason and it makes want to become a curser. |

Shrill treble and no bass... Does this mean it sounds like the ksc75? |

I haven't listened to the KSC75 but if they ride on the ear and don't make good contact, then most likely. The TC10 is disgusting at this point. I have no idea how any one could listen to them without destroying their ears. I have them with a signal running through them and I hope they settle in but I have strong doubts. So far the TC20's aren't bad but I don't see how people compare them to the UM2's unless they get much better after further use. I will take my Portapros or UM2's or HD650's. We shall see. I still hold out hope for the TC20. |

Had a go with the T10s, just some brief impressions! Track: Toni Braxton - I'll Always Love You (Couldn't stay..) Where I came from: Sony D-EJ885 >W800i Stock (HPM-70) Listening to Kenny G with them, beats gets too slamming, hence rhythm & flow of smooth saxaphone gets pretty "disrupted". Disclaimer: My views will be biased as I haven't listened to much of the detailed phones on market yet. I just started my journey hence I apologize that my impressions shouldn't be used as references. 1st Impressions D-EJ885 > TC10 Vocals, crisp & clear, sharp. Highs sounded too pitched up to be true (artificial). Highs gets uncomfortable for the ears time to time. Mids was pushed up as well. It's a "sharpener" to me. 2nd Impression D-EJ885 Optical Line Out > AudioQuest Mini-I Interconnects > ICute Amp RCA Audio In Bass are much more slamming, fuller. Vocals had more warmth. Though, the sharpness is still uncomfortable for my ears. Conclusion: A few works on the Equalizer or through AMPs (GoVibe, Mystery) with right gain & interconnects that pumps in more bass, warmth would be nice. I just got into amp,can't give much info though, Great price definitely. (ask Uncle Wilson directly)Do listen to them even after what all the reviews has said, its very personal. These are my and only mine opinions. Give them a chance, you never know you just found yourself a new "friend" to your rig. How will these do with Creative's Crystalizer? Credits to Ah Dui (AMP), QSilver (IC), Scanfiend (Advisor) :lol: Happy christmas, happy listen everyone!

Hello guys, I bought this T10 for my close friend as Xmas present, but he complaints the sound is too thin. I suggested to get an amp to go with it, but due to budget contraint, may be he will just get a PA2V2 or LDM+, anyone try T10 with PA2V2 before? comments please. many thanks. |

heh, Ahdui claimed that the T10 with a Cardas HPI interconnect works very well indeed. May want to give it a try
