Tyll measured the VC02s. Spectacular measurements, were it not for a distortion bump in the upper midrange and the dip in midrange response (which corroborate with Rin's measurements). Rin says the dip is cancelled out in actual...

  Lawson - Learn to Love Again   Not really my cup of tea, this Britpop (I surmise?) thing. Catchy but not really engaging or particularly memorable. I had to check them out after some of my female acquaintances...

Exactly. You'll be looking at the esoteric stuff and CIEMs if you want the assurance. At least an Ety ER4, I believe.

That is a shame. Many earphones that come with great build quality and destroy many similarly priced offerings from brand-name companies actually originate from boutique audio companies based in China and Japan. Not to knock on...
