Alright, thanks guys.   well...I've been back for literally 2 days and I already have 3 iems I'm interested in ...oh man, this hobby hurts my wallet I hope I find a good pair I can settle on very, very soon.

Thanks guys!! I'll read around for both. The Phantom Master 4 seems like a great deal and good timing. Fairly excited.

Hey y'all, I happily settled on my VSonic GR07 Bass Edition couple years ago but they're getting old and possibly broken. The right side keeps cutting out. I need to replace them, I thought I would just get another pair or the GR07 classic edition for $100...but... Given that I've been out of...

I would go with the GR07 Bass Edition.   While the X10 were extremely comfortable, sound-wise I wasn't impressed. The GR07 is a clear noticeable upgrade over the GR06, night and day difference. I think it's worth it.

Quote:   I would recommend the R1 over the M2. IMHO M2 are just too dark. They're just too old, not up to the current crop of best bang-for-buck iems. I would urge you to consider the GR06, they have the smooth laid-back sound, non-fatiguing and the best cord. The R1 have more bass...

The Gr06 just aren't bass monsters. The E6 by itself is actually going to make the bass punchier with slightly less bloat. It may even seem like a reduction in midbass. Using the bass boost of the E6 will make it warmer and the GR06 are warm to start with.   Use the amp as an amp and just...

Well, black friday's been pretty lame for me.    Too bad I missed the MEE cc51p on newegg. Would've been good cheap phones.  I wanted the black ones and I just found some on ebay, of course it's more than the newegg sale but are they still worth it? Has anyone tried them?

Quote:   Yeah, I read that, I just wanted someone to verify if anyone knew for sure. Am I to understand that you don't know for sure because it's just a guess?

Quote:   EPH-100 is not sony though. Does it still count?

Quote:   I'm gonna defend MP4nation on this one. It is quite common for iem's to change over time. Just to give an example, cosmic ears had to change their cable for their ciem's because their supplier ran out. Xears used to change the cord and tips all the time without any notice.  ...

Quote: No, they're different. the HD25-sp ii has been that price for a while.

Quote: holy ******. Nice post. Thanks for sharing and hats off to tomscy.

Quote:   well...he's comparing them to the M6.    @badtrip unfortunately for you and fortunately for me, the burn-in took away some of the bass, especially the midbass settles down quite a bit.

Quote:   Yeah, I agree. The GR02's aren't the most resolving. I think the R1's are a clear upgrade over the GR02 Bass. Initially, the R1 has a LOT of booming muddy midbass. These had the biggest change in sound with burn-in that I've experienced. After the burn-in, the bass gets toned...

Quote:   Dude, I hear ya. I had iems that I know to be superior on technicality levels but just couldn't stand them.  Sort of reminds me of some snobby 'dress code strictly enforced' restaurant experience. Yeah, the damn 2oz duck breast with fried green tomatoes and mango salsa was...

Quote:   I actually thought the R1 improved a bit because the lower end tightened up and the bloated midbass was reduced, I mean de-bassified.

Quote:   I would love to recable these but I don't know how to deal with flat cables. If Sony would sell the exact same earphones with same tuning but with improved cables, I think that could be the most recommended earphones on head-fi and possibly a best-seller.     Quote...

Quote:   um.....both? 

Quote:   I can assure you, you should treat it as a music only iem. They have flat cables, heavy and bulky, the remote is useless with ipods, all they got going is sound and HOLY CRAP, do they sound good.   Well, you mentioned comfort, I guess MH1C ain't gonna work.   I think...
