I have never purchased the NT01s, they seem to get much better reviews from their owners as far as fast usable life is concern. For whatever reason, the R888s just doesn't have that. They are fast out of the box, but they slow down at a dramatic fashion before you even have a chance to wear out the treads. It's quite pathetic. Some have said the NT-01s have the same compound as R888, some have said otherwise. I honestly don't know. I just know the R888s suck, I had 5 sets of them. I didn't like either of them, much better review on NT-01s
