Review: ViSang R02 [Brainwavz ProAlpha] - Too Good, Too Soon? - Page 3

From what I know, Raz still has plan for the ProAlpha in a later time once the supply of M1 and M2 is stable. As to the relatively new VS-R04, it is called the 'collector edition'. I have the SP1 for a while and personally didn't find the housing to be uncomfortable.

I was wondering when they were going to release a rebranded version of these. I already have a R02 so I'm good and the fact that I don't like 45 degree angle plugs that much unless they are accompanied by a very good cable then it is forgiven such as the case with the M9 I used to have.

Hi, I'm looking for a new headphone and this is the best I've found so far. But still, I'm confusing with lots of technical words you'd used in your review( can't understand all of it since I'm not a audiophile sr). Besides, Visang  - Brainwavz called their each iem with different names so I hardly know what exactly what you are reviewing. Could you give me an suggestion based on this:
Upgrade from MEElec M9(barely broke the cable),for hip-hop and electronic music, bass required, need isolation (for bus travel). Which is the best option for me?

Brainwavz Alpha IEM Earphones vs Brainwavz M1 IEM Earphones  vs Brainwavz ProAlpha IEM Earphones  vs Recable my M9( around 10$ with great cord+jack quality)

All of 3 iem are pre-ordering  here (http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=51&sort=20a) and use those name(instead of Visang R02 or R01 etc.) would be easier for me to order.

@ljokerl

I'm new to IEMS and I've been reading lots of your reviews but I'd still like your advise.

I'll be mostly using them on the train to work with my ipod Nano and an ibasso T3 which I already own.

I've shortlisted the iems below which are all under 100$. I like my music warm and with lots of bass and I'm trying to get the same sound signature as my main rig (see sig). I listen to pretty much all sorts of music going from Johnny cash to Linkin park to Metallica, just not techno/dance music. Oh, and I do have small earcanals

1. Visang R02/R03: But as you concluded the R02 have the best value/money

2. Fischer Audio Eterna

3. Hippo VB: I saw you recommending the Hippo VB to someone who likes bass, but I recall you saying they lack the warmth and thickness usually associated with fun and bassy sound

So which ones you think will suit me best? I won't be using them at home or at work, just during transport and walks. or should I consider another one?

Thanks a lot...these iems are even more complicated then full size heapdphones

I personally think the brainwavz series have garnered more than enough fame to stand on their own two feet instead of spawning new line of products that closely resemble Visang or any other makers. They are bound to confuse people and make associations, fair or otherwise. 

I looked at the Music Valley SP1 and can't help but think that the M3 can't be that good. 

If Raz is thinking of something for the M4, I hope it will be a departure from such clones. I hear a (double) balance armature is on some people's wishlist. 

Unless I'm mistaken it really isn't about visang being able to stand by themselves or not but rather market availability. Unless I'm mistaken ViSang is sold mostly in China while Brainwavz is the international version where more are sold outside of China. They probably have some kind of agreement where Brainwavz is not allowed to be sold in China I'm guessing.

@Ultrainferno: I think the Eterna will provide more bass than you will ever need. I had the v1 but if the v2 is a slightly more balanced configuration it still has more bass than you will ever need. Warm and lots of bass is what I would describe the Eterna as.

Thanks Rawrster & ljokerl for the quick feedback! I'll go order the Eternas @ GD audiobase. Cheers!

They arrived today, after 8 days (+4 before getting shipped by Audiobase). I'm picking them up later tonight. Can't wait!

Edit: I've hooked them up to the Maverick tubeamp and I'm very impressed. I never expected this quality sound from IEMs. Just a bit of hiss when volume is at 0, but I guess that's normal for IEMs(?)

It definately is warm and bassy and the highs are great, the mids are a bit less pronounced atm but with burn in I'm sure this will all change a little.

Straight from my laptop they are way less bassy, but that combination isn't what I bought them for. iPod here I come...

Anyway, I'm very happy with the sound. Thanks again for recommending them to me!!
