I agree. I just am now sitting down with my new GR10 plugged into my iPhone and have not experienced any hiss (like I would with my SE535). I don't push the volume past 40% or so, so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm itching for tomorrow when I can try them plugged into my receiver, which seems to give a tremendous amount of power to the bass via the headphone jack.
How loud are you guys playing music? The iPhone has low levels of hiss anyway so the GR10, which isn't as sensitive as the SE535, wouldn't hiss too much. I'm overly sensitive to hiss. I sold my UN2 because of hiss and couldn't stay with the SE535 for too long because of it.
I use my GR8 on volume level of about 25-35% max from an iPod nano 7G. Any louder is dangerous and probably not healthy for too long. I like to keep things at about loud chatting levels. I'm 100% satisfied with them, especially paired with an amp as there is more headroom than the GR10, but both are absolute hits with me.
