Tekfusion Twinwoofers Quick Review
Thanks to Tekfusion for the sample.
Brief:  All hail our new Indian overlords
Price:  US$50 or about £30
Specification:  Frequency Response 19 Hz-
 21 kHz, Impedance 16 Ohms, Pressure Level 113dB, Gross Weight 
            30g(1.06 Oz), Net Weight(without cable) 7.5g, Color Black 
Chrome, Cable Length 1.2m, Cable Type Symmetric, Connector Type 3.5m 
Gold Plated
Accessories:  Baggy, Shirt Clip, 5 pairs of tips
Build Quality:  The buds are metal and sturdy.  The cable and jack feel a touch on the delicate side.
Isolation:  Pretty good for a dynamic.  
The usual story, fine for on a bus, maybe not so much for Tube or a long
 flight.  Still more than enough to get yourself run over of course.
Comfort/Fit:  Great on both accounts.  
The things weigh next to nothing.  They got shoved in ears and that was 
that.  Good stuff.
Aesthetics:  The buds are a touch pretty, the cable less so.  They look fine, nothing particularly note worthy.
Sound:  Excellent.  Not anything like as 
bassy as the name had me expecting though.  Yes the bass is pretty 
elevated and yes it stands well forward of the mids but I was expecting a
 real bass cannon.  It’s still enough to make me feel an EQ down 
wouldn't hurt; a bit of a bump in the mids too I wouldn't mind.  Quality
 wise its firm and sold.  Tonally things are all a bit warm but dry, 
mids are airy and breathy, highs shimmering and delicate.  Speaking of 
highs they a bit elevated too but have next to no abrasiveness to them. 
 Just a wash of silvery shimmering at the top end.  Reasonable extension
 on them.  Still I’d like the faintly delicate nature of the vocals and 
the accordant width to perhaps have a little more forward focus.  Still,
 can’t have everything.  Detail levels are superb for the money and 
really gives the GR06 a run for its money as the former king of the 
circa US$50 area.  The Twinwoofer could too make a claim to that title. 
 Granted the bass is a bit on the humpy and the mids are much too 
distant for my tastes but the quality of the mids is great.  The bass is
 firm and punchy, a little more softness would work better given its 
quantity I think but, hey, I’m no basshead.  I wish there was more made 
of the quality of the mids, yeah the width is lovely and air they have 
but please sir, may I have some more sir?  Think kinda V shaped with a 
bass slant to it.
Value:  Very good.  I can’t say it’s 
"better" than the GR06 but sound for your money its every bit as good if
 you desire its signature.  Its build feels a rather less substantial 
though.
Pro’s:   Solid punchy bass, great air and openness to the mids and highs.
Con’s:  Builds not stellar, bit much bass, mids a bit too distant.
