Introduction

Head-Direct is an online headphone store which sells just about everything you need in order to get a serious listening rig. Head-Direct carries a lot of interesting Asian brands.

Today I will be taking a look at some of the cheapest in-ears on the market. They are called the TC20 and are made by to me previously unknown company called OVC. The earphones are based on a dynamic driver much like the VSONIC R02-PROs, however, these are entry level earphones.

The TC20s feature a no nonsense design. It is clear that OVC has tried to keep the design as simple as they could. This is a good thing in my opinion because it means that there is even less stuff that can break or wear down over time.

For someone looking for a cheap way to get a pair of in-ears these are probably the earphones for you. The TC20s are available from Head-Direct for only $39 which is cheap considering that you get a pair of earphones with a decent bundle.

The TC20s are based on dynamic drivers and they feature a cable that is 130 cm long. They are easy to drive and they will probably sound good being run out of just about all DAPs on the market today. The cable is of the Y-split type which is pretty normal for earphones.
