I know it use to be the GR07, but those have since gone up to $200+.

 

I currently used Sunrise IE as my main IEMs, but I just don't find them all that fun. Whats the biggest steal under $200? Is it the new(ish) jvc fxt90?

Interesting, the lendmeurears site has them at way more, but their eBay is cheap? Are these still the best overall sub $200 iems?

Never heard them, so I cant answer that. I am a TF10 owner and paid even less than GR07's. I am MORE then pleased. I did swap the cable, so over all that puts them in the GR07 price range.

There is no way you are falling out of love with your GR07, whats the scoop on getting the Yammy's? Headphone addiction?

The first step to rehab is admitting you have a problem. Lets see, small issues with the GR07, sibilance and chicks dont dig them?

I actually don't even experience sibilance anymore and I find their understated looks kinda sexy. They don't look like much, but boy do they pack a punch.

For what they are, stage monitors, yes. They're meant to be used in the studio or on stage for monitoring, and as such they are a bit 2D and present music like you're sitting in front of the stage.

But I thought they were PERFECT! tongue.gif

 

Consider the Sony EX600 as well. A great IEM that's not too far behind Sony's flagship, but sort of got lost amidst the GR07 hype. You can find it for less than $130 new. I'm sure some people will recommend the JVC FXT90 as well.

For 5 months they were tongue_smile.gif. As a package, they still come close.
