![]() ![]() The appearance have might have changed, sound signature has been tweaked. One thing remained the same; audio bliss! The CrossRoads MylyarOne could only get better and will hold up the contender for the best Price-to-Performance value for the year. Many would say the CrossRoads MylarOne from Korea is the evolution of the OVC TC-20, repackaged to deliver better performance and quality to the deserving consumers. ![]() Colour identifications indicating the sides have been made during manufacturing, to clearly the Left (Blue) and Right (Red). No more problems of the microscopic L and R indentifications. A drawing sleeve has been inserted at the Y-cord for adjustments to your comfort when on the move. ![]() Accessories includes a small carry pouch, a cable wrap and additional Medium and Large eartips for the set. The small ear tip is fitted onto the earphone as default. In addition, the CrossRoads MylarOne includes a hard carry case and a clip for attachment to the cables. ![]() Before I set into an analytical listening, I allow the earphone to run-in for a few good minutes. I will be running the earphone direct from the iPod Mini. I will be experimenteing with music of various genres. Music used for the test is ripped from audio CDs at MP3 320kbps. I compared the TC-20 with MylarOne (A - B compasion) and discovered that the differences are actually quite presentable. At first listen, the MylarOne seemed to be of a darker and profound sound signature than the TC-20 which delivers the feeling of light and breeze in the music. From the CrossRoads MylarOne, it performed: - More spacious in panoramic presentation. - Better resolution, dynamic and weighted body. - Relatively balanced delivery of tones in the sound spectrum. - More responsive in terms of resolution to volume change. - Smooth vocals and soothing highs. - Much deeper and contrasting bass section. ![]() Once again like many people would agree, the CrossRoads MylarOne is definitely worth a good buy for the price and superb for the performance. What remains will forever be audio bliss. |

This earphone is very good. I like it more than TC20. The music is much more enjoyable. You should go and try it. |

if both the tc20 and the crossroads mylar one are amped, is there any considerable difference between them? |

I think you have to a a/b test to find out yourself. Someone may tell you there is a considerable difference, but you might not notice it yourself. |

Yes indeed. I have even listening to it for the past 3 hours. The sounds seems to get better and better. Therefore, I guess it will be even better after like 50 hours of burning in? |

Hey guys, here's something that happened by coincidence, CUSTOMS for the tc20 or Mylarone. Basically this is the Westone musican earplug, ES49 I made for my etymotic ER6. It fits wonderfully and really improves comfort and the soundstage. mylar customs |

hmm i have GOT to try these out soon! see how it compares to the TC20, since the bass is supposedly stronger on this pair, i THINK i will like it cause, casue my persistent complain on the TC20 is that there is not enough slam in the bass. 7-8 sets eh? looks like by next week when i visit, nothing will be there already. |
