Hi Everyone,
I'd like to add this comment as I've used this headphone for a year and a half now. I bought this May last year, overall great headphones, but just realized it's not built to last long. I've taken amazing care of this thing, wrapped up the cables after every use, kept it in it's own padded pocket within a very well padded office bag during my daily commute. I just noticed today, the left headphone case is cracked, the unit probably still works, but was hoping I could use this for alot longer, but now I either have to repair it or get a new set. Having this broken piece dangle out of my ear is not an option and this exposes the internal wiring.
Attached a pic so future buyers are aware, again I'd love to recommend this product, but given that it's broken, and I can't find virtually any information online about the company or any warranty it may provide as their site is in all chinese, it's really hard to recommend this. It's a shame, it sounds great otherwise, but I guess you get what you pay for, since even without massdrop, this comes at a pretty low cost.
on a side note, looking at the right headphone, I can see the start of another crack there, so looks like that side will meet the same fate.
I sure hope we get enough interest to run this drop again. Around how many people do we need to make this happen? I missed the drop last year and these things are impossible to find anywhere.
so yeah wanted to chime in on the durability... one side of mine just cut out... theyre just not meant for everyday use I guess. sounded great... while they worked...
CouloirSame here with a single working earset ... but I'd buy another replacement one in a minute, except it has not (yet) been put back up on offer. Is there some way to tell how close we are to reaching the suggested reorder limit? Any suggestions for similar (specs & pricing) products are welcome. Thank you.
For the price, there actually quite fun headphones, having bought one of them a couple drops back, I am in need of a new pair due to carelessly dropping them on public transportation (Carrying case and all! [someone's getting a good freebie]) after using them for over ~1-2 years heavily.
Are they cheap? In construction? Sure, but if they fit, they've got decent sound isolation (pro tip, replace the tips with better ones) but for the price, their fun, and just cheap enough that you don't feel the burn to badly.
Not to the guy who linked to the TTPOD T1, there's actually three products in this line...
T1
T1-E
T1-S
so what's linked on Amazon, is not what's being sound in the drop...
Now with all that said.... Are these the most accurate or neutral sounding headphones in their price range? Nope, nadda, zippo! Their not, their bass heavy, and the mids are acceptable....
BUT>>>>>>>
the signatures is definately, how can I describe this.... fun?

It's a good review, I've linked above, and while the reviewer is definately 'more' into the IEM's then I am, I do have to admit, that while these aren't the most neutral or clear IEMS I owned (pass tense for now) I can't deny, that while I owned them, they where one of the most well used in my collection due to the great combination of...
FUN sound signature, and CHEAP cost of entry... making it a great choice for when your traveling and on the go (Fun enough to listen to, cheap enough not to cry when you break/drop them)
BTW this is the product on amazon.

I just received these, and I'm having a LOT of trouble getting them into my ears, even while trying different tips. I've never had problems with IEMs before, but then I've never owned IEMs with this weird angle on them. It's the angle that's giving me trouble.
Any owners of these want to chip in with tips on how to get them in?
