My K10's have arrived here in the UK, listening now and they are superb. Only posted last Friday and were here in UK yesterday for delivery but a balls-up by UPS caused a delay until today.
Saying that the 2.5mm TRS cable wasn't in the pack, I know these were delayed so hopefully will be sent on.
There is also a tiny bit of paintwork scuffed but barely noticeable and not worth sending back for me.
Did I mention that these sound amazing, TOTL at a decent price.
McColI got mine today in the UK too, ups incorrectly sorted my package so i was delayed by a day. My pair also had some cosmetic damage but they worked ok.
Im struggling to make the included tips work, nothing fits for me execpt the foams which i dislike. The pair i auditioned in japan used spiral dot tips instead of the stock ones but i cant seem to find those in the UK so im ordering a set of RHA tips from amazon to try and experiment.
Im not impressed with the sound with the default tips as they dont provide a proper seal for me, i hope the RHA tips can provide the proper fit because these iems are amazing when they do fit.
matt0512Spiral Dots are a much more available in East Asian markets, I almost always snag mine off Amazon from someone who imported them. I am in the states so I don't know how well amazon UK compares to amazon US on the japanese imports. I haven't tried a set on these yet as I've found a couple different stock tips that work for me.
McColYou are losing bass impact and texture because the bass gets absorbed by the hard foam instead of the bass reverberating within the empty spaces that comes with silicone tips.
matterollProblem is getting a silicon tip that fits as well as the comply.
The supplied tips are no good for me, keep losing seal with them. My Symbio W tips which are a godsend on other iem’s are no good either.
I’m going to try some Spiral dots but not sure where to get them as they are difficult to source in the UK.
At the moment the Comply are my only and best sounding option. The other tips make them sound tinny in comparison
McColThe comply's allow bass to reverb cause the foam is more porous. Have you tried spinfits? I find them to be the best silicone tips that i have tried so far. I dont like complys because to me, they kind of sound muddy and losing air in the upper frequencies to my ears but our ears are different.
McColThese are actually more like upper mid-range. TOTLs nowadays seem to start around 1800 USD. Price inflation in headphones rolling over into IEMs :/
noperGood point but the K10 were around the £1600 mark here in the UK a couple of years ago which for me still makes them TOTL. The replacment model K10 encore seem to be much the same model with different tuning from what I have read.
TOTL is a funny thing in the earphone worl, I’ve got earphones that cost between £200-700 that easily surpass those that are twice the price.
Lets not forget that sometimes people will pay TOTL prices based on name and reputation regardless of what else is available or without listening to other options.
Each to their own 😂
McColYes, hype is a dangerous thing. Try before buying folks!
Wow... what are those earphones, out of curiosity? That seems like a good price range for gifting.
