Thinksound Cherry TS01SLVCHRY 10mm Wooden Headphones (Silver) Reviews
The thinksound TS01 (formerly known as the "Thunder" is you're searching for additional product reviews online) are my first pair of premium earbuds, so my perspective is from a newbie to the world of premium headphones/earbuds. I'm not an "audiophile," but I listen to music constantly while I work. br /br /What I like about the thinksound TS01s: br /While these are tuned for bass, I don't think it's overly-tuned--it's more subtle, I'd call it a "rich" sound, for my ears than some of the bass-tuned headphones I'd tried out. It sounds a bit cheesy, but I have literally heard parts of my songs in my music collection that I didn't know were there. I love the multiple ear fittings that accompany the earbuds, as I ended up using one size for one ear, another size for the other. The fittings are very flexible and I don't have any problems with them popping out while I'm out and about. The wood is attractive and very light and comfortable; there are no hard edges in these earbuds like there were with my standard iPod earbuds. They look really sharp. The noise-canceling qualities were a real surprise--I didn't expect them to be able to block out almost all but the loudest noises, since they're not an over the ear headphone, but they do. Finally, I so appreciate thinksound's approach to packaging and product design. There is no PVC in these earbuds, which was a huge draw for me, since I try to avoid that material when possible, since its manufacturing and disposal is so toxic. The packaging was extremely minimal and recyclable or reusable. br /br /What I don't like about the thinksound TS01s:br /My one criticism is that the cord is somewhat delicate. I got a tiny kink in it soon after I bought these earbuds--I assume this is due to them being PVC-free (the cord seems to be made from some sort of thin rubber material). Now I'm very careful of them when they're no in use. That, combined with the high list price, is why this is only a four-star review.br /br /Why I chose the TS01s instead of Thinksound Rain 9mm Wooden, Noise Isolating Headphone blk/choc: br /I chose the TS01s over the thinksound rains because I listen to quite a bit of hip hop and other music which has complex bass. I debated for about two weeks before purchasing, because I also own a lot of music like Mason Jennings, Allison Kraus, Ryan Adams, the Gourds, which could be impacted by the bass-tuning. However, this hasn't been an issue at all for me. Perhaps someone with more attuned ears would be bothered by this, but I'm not.

Disappointed - Kevin Cheung -
Read the great reviews on Uncrate and Amazon so I bought them. Frankly, I'm disappointed. One earbud is 10mm longer than the other. Sound quality is poor - comparable to the buds at Walgreens. Also, the earbuds don't fit well, I've tried all four of the fittings to no avail. Don't be misled by the positive reviews on these headphones.
