Hi all. I am a lurker and wanted to encourage you all to continue posting your great impressions and reviews. For years I and many others have depended on these reviews to make informed decisions on purchases we make and greatly enjoy reading your thoughts, whether or not we make a presence here...

Thank you, these are seriously good earphones... 

KZ foams seem to work great with these bad boys

Well mine came in today. OOTB first impression: Incredible. Hype warranted for this one IMO

Thank you Peter! Been enjoying my forbidden iem very much, SW3 in the mail, just wondering how this A4 stacks up in comparison

Can anyone compare a4 to the banned iem or shockwave 3?

Sexy! Love the beefy L-jack. And it looks like a nice cable. But is it still replaceable or did they nix that in the revision?

  Yes dude. It's all you. Seriously if they are even comparable with the havi's then they deserve some attention right?

I for one would love to see a comparison of vsd5s with gr07be, lz a2s and shozy zero (and havi and ostry as long as we're going nuts...) God where are the OG's when you need them?   Peter? Hisoundfi? Anyone?   Bueller??   Why did no hype train materialize for vsd5??? 

  I didn't even know vsd5 had been revised!   It's a shame, I feel like Vsonic has fallen off the grid completely. Would love to wake up and see VSD7 is out and competing with Shockwaves and Qt5s and flc8s and vile forbidden earphones that never existed in the just and judicious eyes of the...

Please feel free to post more impressions. There is a serious lack of comparisons with the vsd5s. Would love to hear more about them!

Go with the senns. I haven't heard them, but I'm familiar with good sound (I own gr07be, re400, dqsm d2, ath-ad900x, k712 pro, yamaha hs50m) and the m100s were quite good but didn't blow me away by any stretch. They seemed like great foldable headphones to own for travel if you prefer full-size...

Okay to clarify, maybe its not fair to compare these d2's to full size open headphones like the k712 pros, which are amazing in different ways. But the quality of the bass, mids (and soundstage!) is just unreal. These easily beat my re400's and gr07be's.    Have to say I'm quite happy with...

Nice!!!

Looking to expand my eartips collection and not 100% sure what size to buy dedicated eartips in.. I think I've had success with multiple sizes depending on depth of insertion etc... Haven't seen any tip packages in assorted sizes so figure lets go ham on some new cheap iems.   I have a...

Okay, upgrading from gr07be and re400:   looking for more sub-bass emphasis (mostly for edm), and maximum resolution and texture throughout the entire frequency spectrum, and rugged build quality, and price / performance,   is it qt5, flc8, atlas, shockwave III, dqsm d2?   or some other...

Nah I decided to wait to hear some opinions first. Wonder if I should make a thread in Portables forum since apparently nobody reads these.

Anyone?

Shurely I should have some options other than the SE215 right?   I'm about to pull the trigger on the SE215 Limited Edition... http://www.amazon.com/Isolating-Earphones-transformer-graphics-SE215SPE-/dp/B00A16BT4E/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1412543519&sr=1-1&keywords=se215+limited  ...
