TTPOD T2-E 3Driver Hybrid 2BA+Dynamic Hybrid Drive(ED-29689+TA7801) Headphones Gray

Pros: clear, clean, detailed, analytical highs, soundstage is well presenting in 2D field, excellent tight bass textures and well coherent with the spectrums. No sibilant ....gasp..... Comfortability to wear and stay in ear, 7/10 passive noise isolation, can sleep on with. Great accessoriesCons: thinner highs in the mid high, in trade of very clear and crystal clean lower and upper highs. Due to this, the highs may appear a bit harsh for some folk, cymbals hit appears to be more metallic (some people love it, some does not), some subtles trebles notes are not well presented or rather is overwhelmed by the energetic mid and higher highs.Recommended: silicone tips for better highs detail retrieval or foam tips to tame some of the highs down....neither affect the bass too much.Sound signature: brighter, emphazised toward detailed natural bass (not bass head)with strong mid trebles hit, so so soundstage. Toward and great vocal performance, tends to Mids spectrum.Reviews by: NW-ZX2 and CD 16/44.1 lossless rips and 16/96 DVD rips.I was a fan of T2 as it was flat, detailed, and excellent to listen to at lower volume because the soundstage was smaller, and together with very comfortable design that I could sleep in bed with it. Just excellent. Unfortunately the bass was a little strange, that some may find it non existent (was quick, less energy, short decay). But I still love it, tonality wise though, the bass was good for critical listening but not anywhere realistic. This left me craving for some more realistic bass. Because this is what I am, a fan of natural, realistic yet detailed sounding IEMS. So just like before. TTPOD released the E version of the T2 which hints at more bass and details.So I made the purchase again as I found myself enjoying T2 more than I thought, and it is just so comfortable. Using it with my ZX2 and high quality sound tracks. What I found ?More bass detail, sub-bass, extensions and bass body were all imrpoved. Improved but not empowered, that means the Rumbles can be felt, the bass dives lower, yet with textures, the decay is longer, faster responds, tight, yet appears very organic or realistic...where as T2 was more metallic. Weird though, T2 was more organic with mid-high spectrums and metallic bass, and T2-e is organic mid, metallic hig, organic lows.Instruments layering were a bit more airy than T2, soundstage is more presenting from left to right with a touch of depth. Cymbals hits are well defined and crystals, yet thin and shorter decays, cleaner tonality makes it metallic and some of the sub-trebles notes became overwhelmed by that highly energetic mid-high notes. Together with the fact that it is not too airy, some people who love airy detailed highs may be a bit underwhelmed. The excellent well controlled bass with that detailed highs combined to be an exciting detailed and yet balanced sound signature, some subtles details in sub-spectrums are overpowered by the main body in some tracks.Over-all, flat with familiar dynamic punches and well defined bass textures and good hint of highs forward vocal a bit of stages. This is totally the brother of T2 with enhanced bass, sub-bass textures, defined highs.So is it worth $100 ? I would say they are in the 150-250$ brackets ranges. The design, soft and nice looking cables alone deserve some attentions/credits. The ability to sleep in bed with it. Listen at lower volume to preserve your hearings ? Detailed music, and well defined vocal ? Yes, totally. The only 2 real CONS that I found are1/ sub-spectrums details need more energy2/ highs need to be a tad thickerThose are the only two that I critically find, and if TTPOD improves those, then they should price them at 300-500$ just like the rest of the world, so people would underestimated and overlook them less (the fact that I enjoyed T2 better than A83, $89 vs$300, and many people love it). Would I return it ? Or give it away ? No way, it has it unique features in comfy and sounds that the T2 was satisfying enough for me to make the purchase toward the T2, despite having IM-04 readily available, but i still smile when I put on the T2 and now T2-E. I welcome them into my collection with unique sounding and fancy specs.For all that said, kudos to TTPOD for trying to aim toward high fidelity at an affordable price. I am your fan, and I will continue to seek out your new products.

These are the most comfortable pair of earphones with 2 balanced and 1 dynamic driver. I have listened to many high end Shure and planar headphones and they were never comfortable to my small ears. The color differences helps to differentiate between right or left and makes it easy to put them on. There are no cable noise from the well handmade twisted cable. Great for jogging, gym and pure audio listening. I listen to DSD and wav formats on my portable hifi audio player.

I am listening to some Barbra Streisand singing Gental Rain (jazz quartet version) while I write this very short review of the T2-E, on the T2-E.I could tell you all about the nuances of the treble are silky but folded and bass can be slightly dark, like a Merlot a bit oak'y with some hints of cedar and pine like a lot of reviewers. All that is pointless.In the past 4 days listening to the T2-E on different DAC's and AMP's the sound quality changes DRASTICALLY depending on what you have it connected to. Bottom line if you listen to music on your iPhone or Android (tested on NEXUS 6 & iPHONE 6P) the sound is weak - this isint the fault of the T2-E headphones but the phones AMP's just being maxed out and unable to put out enough power. Bass is weak and treble is flat with cell phones. Period. This is the case for a lot of high-end headphones.Switching over to a FiiO E17 Alpen DAC/AMP - now all the bass is back and the treble is here with clarity and a vengeance. Bass can be pushed into levels that are unhealthy, I feel like Im in my buddies Honda with three 12" subs. These headphones will and CAN hit some seriously low notes without distortion that run my Sennheiser and Bose headhones for their money. I tried out a lot of techno, classical, jazz, country. It all sounded flawless. I just needed an amp. I have a Soundblaster Z sound card in the PC and hooked them right up directly the the headphone jack (it is amped by default to support 300ohm headphones). Same thing. I honestly cant tell the difference between the PC and the FiiO too much except the Fiio is much more gentle with the music but when I want BASS and I mean insane super mega low Bass305 frequency bass - the Soundblaster Z owns.I have several classical tracks that are original recordings, uncompressed 24bit 196,000Hz that I use FooBar2000 to play and the first thing that I notice is how clear everything is. The bass does not muddy any of the mids and highs up at all. They sound fantastic. I dont understand what some of the reviewers mean when they say the stage feels closer or further. They sound like every other headphone to me for stage presence - but the clarity is kicked up a lot. Some people said to put tape on the holes to get more bass - dont. When used with a good device these will blow your brains out if you wanted.Bottom line - I love them. The build quality does leave a little to be desired but they are more than sufficient for the price. They came with more ear bud sizes than I can count but I just use the foam ones which conform like memory foam to your ears. They dont sound any different than the others I think people are convincing themselves of a sound difference.I used Bose QC15's before, and they are nice - but these are flippin CLEAR with even more, lower BASS when needed. (Im a bass head mostly). Put some tame jazz tracks on and they sound great too. You wont be disappointed. If you get them and they sound flat try them out on some other devices.

I have the TTPOD T1s for about a year, and I have owned these for at least 6 months. Both work great (I actually own two T1s). I prefer to T2s over the T1, the shape is a lot more 'normal' and doesn't stick out in public like the T1s. Sound quality has been improved on these by a noticeable amount which justifies these costing about twice as much as the T1s. (*Both are the enchanced versions so I'm comparing apples to apples here.) The sound quality is top notch- I only owned one audio headset above $150 mark, and the T1s and T2s have much better qualityI'm not a big bass fan, nor do I listen to a ton of bass heavy music (albeit most music has bass anyways). The point is the bass is not over powered, but if you do listen to something like dubstep you might need to adjust your EQ and they're perfect.When I first bought these, many other reviews complained about the quality and them breaking. Fortunately none of mine have ever broke over months and months of use.

Great earphones for the price. On a daily basis I might use them for 4+ hours at a time. Even after that amount of time it's like they're not even there. Only downside I feel is where the cord connects to the shell. Seems flimsy. Sound is very good, hitting the highs and lows without the sharpness some headphones give. Bass isn't overwhelming but hits hard without disrupting the quality.
