Hey Joker, the AKG K323XS look interesting. You think you would have a chance to try these?
I doubt you'll find a direct comparison of such different IEMs - people tend to compare like with like. The EPH-100 is way bassier than the RE-400, warmer, less emphasized in the mirdrange, and less smooth and refined up top, IMO.
Someone was looking for earloops the other day:

Don't know about the quality but the seller is good, I've used him many times.
I'm that person, but the link you provided doesn't work, takes me to the homepage.
Cheers

I can't seem to find any on ebay. Weird.
If I were you I'd post a classified here on head-fi - plenty of IEMs come with cable guides and I'm sure lots of people have spares.
You can also get the ThinkSound: http://store.thinksound.com/product/active-ear-hook or V-Moda: http://v-moda.com/sport-earhooks/ guides. I prefer the fit of the Thinksound ones for comfort but I don't have them anymore to try with the VSonic cable. The V-Moda ones are more conventional in design and should fit pretty much any cable without issue.
As for an upgrade, earphones I found to be in same vein as the GR07 BE would be the Alclair Reference (though its bass is GR07 and not GR07BE level), Phonak PFE 232, and Ultrasone IQ with impedance adapter.
Sorry about that, try this one instead

Thanks, another member already pointed me to those. Seems the only option so far

Joker, which one is more speaker like out of these two, re-400 or the gr07 BE? I wan't to get an Iem for portable use when I'm away from my modded q701's.
For any of you guys wondering what the differences are between the Yamaha EPH-100 and HiFiMAN RE-400, check out this thread where @modulor posts his impressions of both (and also a bit of the Vsonic GR07) when he had all of them and was able to test them.

Tricky question...I think it's harder to compare IEMs to speakers than full sized open headphones. As far as soundstage goes, the GR07s will have a wider, further back presentation, so that may be more in line with your Q701 (from memory). I feel like depth/height is presented a bit better in the RE-400 though. Comparatively, it seems more equal in each component of soundstage (more spherical to give a visual) vs the GR07 which has more width than depth/height.
