please tell me just few words more about sibilance, harshness of Vsonic VC02 listening this song. Compare with Meelec A151 and CC51,. Something between...., ? Thanks!

How long are the housings of the VC02 vs. the ER4? Like half of the ER4 sticks out of my ears, shallow-fit phones work best for me.

About 3/4.

UE 600 review with measurements up on InnerFidelity: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/logitech-ue-600-ear-monitor
 
Very respectable performance, though personally I still prefer the Ety HF5 or MEElec A161P among the $100 armatures.

Wow! This is one review I cannot wait for. Sounds like it might be the perfect IEM for me, at the moment. The only thing that's making me hesitate is the top-end of the RE-400, some putting the IEM in the 'warm' camp.

While it may be warmer than the RE272 or ER4S, I really don't think the RE-400 is a warm earphone in the negative sense of that term. I have to spend more time with it but so far it's a difficult set to find fault with.

i realize getting questions like this might be annoying, but i hope you can help me out. my vsonic gr07 mk1's just broke and i plan to buy a replacement pair and probably get them recabled. but i'm also looking at potentially getting the mk2's or the be's, and i'm also considering just going for a different style phone like the mid-centric tdk ie800 (which i'm not sure if you've heard yet or not) or the hifiman re-400's. i listen to a large variety of genres, and i found the gr07's were great for that, and i was wondering what you'd recommend. i really like the gr07 sound, and from what i've read, the re-400's definitely have less bass but i don't think it'd bug me too much. and the build quality and looks are really superb to me. i'm also thinking of just buying a super cheap pair like the vsonic vc02's. i have had the sony mh1c's and gave them to my brother because i found them a little bloated bass-wise, but i know they're both small driver phones. anyway, i'm rambling, so i'll wrap this up now. thanks for the help.

I have not heard the IE800 from TDK. The VC02 might be a safer choice than the RE-400 as its bass quantity is somewhere between that and the GR07. It's not bloated at all and it is dirt cheap. I don't think it has the overall refinement of the HiFiMan, especially in the treble region, but then that's still a $40 earphone being compared to one of the best $100 sets. I definitely prefer the VC02 to the MH1C.

I'm intrigued too about how the RE 400 compares to the GR07. Still contemplating selling my GR06 and getting those.

In a sentence, less punchy and smoother through the treble.

You know, I never found the CC51 to be harsh-sounding. Crisp and with a bit of added sparkle/excitement, yes, but not harsh or sibilant. I would say the VC02 is a little hotter than that, and also than the A151 which, like most SR-based earphones, is pretty laid-back past the upper midrange.

Thanks joker! Useful info.VC02 ordered.

Great review on the VC02! Would love to see one on the GR04 Flagship, I find it extremely underrated, even though those who own one (including me) all seem to love it. Am angling at ordering another pair as a gift, but the choice between GR04 Flagship, VC02 and GR02BE is really tough!

joker have you heard the ATH CKS1000?

hey joker,
 
I actually saw your post on innerfidelity and I was hoping you could help me out on something. I really need a few headphone recommendations, see I have tried many headphones the hd -650, the v-moda m100's, the he-400's, the m50. And I haven't found anything I like, for me personally the most important thing about music is hearing the singer above everything else. I want to be able to hear the singer up close and personal, instrument separation and soundstage are other things I look for but not as important.

Just a note. The PFEs aren't side firing like the 600 and have a curved rubber horn attached.to a front firing BA. I know because I made the same error and opened them up to check. One of the few (I wish) times I've inserted foot in mouth. Overall, it matters not to another great review but I know you like accuracy.
 

I'm considering the VC02s, but I've never had a pair of IEMs that have detachable cables before. What are the benefits of them, because unless the seller sells replacement cables, which I don't think VSonic do, then it just seems like something else to potentially lose.

There's also the new R02 Silver, which seems to be better than the GR02BE unless you need the extra bass

I'm not that well-versed in full-size headphones but in the world of IEMs you'd probably like something like an ATH-CK100 or Westone UM3X. Those two really put the vocals front and center.

Thanks for the info. I guess I've always assumed they were side-firing even since reading dfkt's 2008 review, which calls them "edge-firing". I'll see if I can make the correction on IF.

Generally speaking, the advantage is that if you wear out the cable, you have to replace only the cable and not the whole earphone. The VC02 is a special case because it's so cheap - a replacement cable would probably cost as much as a new unit. VSonic doesn't sell them yet but it's a standard 2-pin connection so there are a lot of cables that will work. I think the Fiio TF10 cables (~$30) should work, though I don't have a pair here.
