    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

    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

    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.
