[@panl22]

Thank you, Dave. I've been curious about Temu audio equipment. Some of those ads have looked so tempting. You are the best!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome.

[@nixlad]

This was very interesting, especially the WTD-3. Thanks for the video!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome

[@ginom407]

Interesting Review Dave! Thank you for sharing. I wasn't expecting much from these headphones. Thank you for confirming my thoughts. 👍👍👍

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome.

[@JohnScheppler]

I'm surprised I didn’t see any of these at Axpona, I'm glad I saw you and had a chance to joke around with you.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

It was nice to meet you. BTW these were at the dumpster booth in the far back parking lot, no surprise you missed them.

[@MechFrankaTLieu]

THE WTD-3 sells for roughly 39.00US$ in its home market and its their second cheapest among the lineup , the brand basically is independent DIY workshop , the 3 cheapest one are all consumer grade aimed towards the urban hip gangs , I had not try their Olive wood model which is their middle of the range model so cannot comment, their other 2 more up market model the ASH and the DAMO both are actually pretty much inline with others in their respective price range , they are OK , not a good buy , but if one want to try out hacking and playing with customizing headphones , their Semi-Open nature and the ease of assemble / disassemble would made a good learning platform Chi-Fi had many Headphone names from the low end consumer to the high end Hi-fi , its the area yet to be explored mostly

[@VSN-wb2ly]

interesting concept from you!

[@carminedesanto6746]

Good morning Dave thanks for keeping me company on my drive-in this morning on a rainy Wednesday one thing that the cheap Grado knock off has that I wish the real Grado has was the removable cable a definite upgrade for sure. Take care again if this seems a little weird it’s dictation while I’m driving, have a good day

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the company. Yes, removable cable for sure would be nice addition by Grado.

[@Opeth1483]

Do you hear Acoustic Research ar-m2? what can you recommend similar to sound by this player?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Sorry I've not heard the AR-M2.

[@edmush2010]

I just bought great Bluetooth on ears from known brand for 40 eur on sale in local store. No audiophile material, but pretty fun and some dsp for bass boost too.... and 50h of listening time!

[@VSN-wb2ly]

Everyone needs to have at least one TWS, i'm considering one soon

[@rickbrookes9491]

Unlike real Grado headphones, these actually have removable audio cables, wish Grado would do this.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Totally 💯

[@simonzinc-trumpetharris852]

'This item has been discontinued'. Hmmm - I wonder why....

[@sunnytang740]

At once my thoughts slipped to calendar, is it Apr/1 today... 😅😅

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

I was going to do this as a April Fools joke but they arrived too late.

[@Opeth1483]

Fiio ft5 is better than hd650 for you?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Yes

[@SnobAudiophile]

How bad can they be? Your face in the thumbnail tells me everything I need to know 🤣

[@Mr1stcat]

Lol they look like legit grados until you look closer

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Indeed

[@athathsonty2925]

Agreed, these are not for you, me or any of us, even if given free. But, all said and done, the Manufacturer must be having certain Target Consumer group. Who ?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

No idea who target consumer is.

[@eldie9859]

I MIGHT REDOWNLOAD TEMU🤭

[@megatherium100]

At this price point, the Koss KPH40 reigns supreme, and if you buy a pair of yaxi pads and punche some holes in them, it really punches up, so i wouldn't bother with these knock off headphones.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Great point, excellent suggestion 💯

[@shaunyweaver1144]

Double up as Google's 2 for 1

[@voidwalkingcat]

Wow, these are interesting Temu headphones! (putting 40 dollars back into the pocket)

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Good idea 💯

[@voidwalkingcat]

@@TheHonestAudiophile I recently noticed that Kotori audio is about to release a new IEM. Hope to have your review of this one someday soon. Thank you always!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

You can return them and get refund! I did it last time and it's quite prompt~

Good to know. Thanks for the information.

I bought my $30.00 earphones at Walmart so you wouldn’t have to.

I have a few pairs of those somewhere around here.

@@TheHonestAudiophile Did you buy yours from the Walmart checkout line shelf too.??? 😵‍💫🤔

[@jasejj]

See the real problem with Temu is, as usual they're not even all that cheap. The WTD3 is $29 on Ali. Am I tempted at that price? Meh, not after this review which does rather damn with feint praise!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

$29 what a deal 🤣
