OneLoveI thought I was the only one who enjoyed those. Everyone else shits on them but I love mine. Wish I had bought a few pair for when they inevitably break. Not sure Macaw still makes anything as their website is gone.
OneLoveI looked back at the drop here. You were the only other one besides me who gave them good reviews. I've had mine over a year and the only thing wrong with them is the braided sheath has started coming away from the housing at the base. I use them daily and don't really worry about how I treat them. So I figure they'll die soon. I wasn't complaining about them. The way I treat them to get more than a year out of them is awesome. The discussion from the drop here everyone complained about the sound. I think they are great but I'm not an audio snob. To me they sound every bit as good as the budget wired IEM that massdrop has regularly (brainwavz etc.)
After looking again last night Macaw still doesn't have an active website. The address on the box www.macaw-audio.com redirects to www.macaw.cn and never comes up for me. So I thought maybe they didn't make the T1000 or anything else anymore. If you did have issues with them I don't know how you'd ever get a warranty dealt with. After posting last night I went to gearbest and there is a new model available the T60 which has the same components as the T1000 in a slightly different housing. The T1000 can still be found as you pointed out. I'm glad. I'll have to order them while I can still find them. For less than $20 I don't think you can find anything better than those for sure.
OneLoveSo you ordered them eh? Think I will as well. Wasn't just the braided part coming out.. the wire seems to be pulling lose in mine. So just a matter of time I think. But I've loved them. Better than most of the stuff I've paid as much as $50 for.
HeadseedI tested them and they sound great. Same strong bass, i noticed a tiny bit more treble. The extra tips helped. Not bad for $12. I might try their higher end version.
OneLoveHigher end bluetooth? Everything BT I've seen has the same components. They have some wired stuff that I've seen dropped here but never tried it. I've gotten detached from cords. Won't be going back now :)
HeadseedIf you go to www.macawsound.com you will see the T60 and T800. The T800 is listed as "high-end" Bluetooth. :) Just Looks interesting. T800 is also $12 on Amazon. T60 is about $35.
OneLoveYou might want to read carefully and check out all the specs. If they aren't identical they are VERY close to identical. I know they both use the same bluetooth chip and same battery life. But let me know if you find they are markedly better.
EDIT: Found them in complete Black. http://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_626796.html
OneLoveI got the T50's for $10 a pair from gearbest. Almost identical to the T1000. I'm not an audiophile but to me these sound great. I want to try the T60's but the specs are almost identical for all of these. For $10 you just can't beat these. My favorite feature is that they are light and the control unit is slim and doesn't annoy me. I have like 5 pairs of all these now. I won't buy another brand at this price point. Oh and the T 50's look killer. Same structure but the piano black is sharp.
One negative to me is the box they come in. It's outstanding. Really slick. But why? Why spend money on that? Only gripe.
