```

But you don’t buy Grado headphones for their stylish looks, or even for their build quality, which can sometimes appear suspect.```

2018-05-01 14:53:07 UTC  

this requires a big think

2018-05-01 14:54:15 UTC

2018-05-01 14:55:04 UTC  

that better come with unlimited warrenty

2018-05-01 14:55:15 UTC  

I’ve chosen Grado’s GR10es ahead of its over-ear range, because I find the latter are less consistent, sometimes less balanced in their sound (which can offend the unsuspecting ear with an excess of treble, the high notes that often prove fatiguing).

2018-05-01 14:55:18 UTC  

at least he admits they're shit

2018-05-01 14:56:10 UTC

zs10 with titanium cable

2018-05-01 15:02:35 UTC  

```So Tin audio is hardly just a random chinese IEM manufacturer.

They are actually the same team from TTPOD - The team that was acquired by Alibaba and re-branded as Ali Planet. It was essentially Alibaba's music streaming arm before being shutdown in 2016.

The same team later re-grouped under TTPOD name again, re-oriented itself for hardware and started making IEMs.

It would be like if Spotify got acquired by Amazon, shutdown, and regrouped to start manufacturing headphones.
```

2018-05-01 15:02:42 UTC  

idk how music streaming means you can make iems but whatever

2018-05-01 15:02:53 UTC  

Well, when they were TTPOD, they used to make OEM for audio technica.
