Vsonic GR07 MK2 - stunning new cable! | bio-cel tech IEM | now with review - see 2nd post - Page 43

I should note although that quote has my name above it, that was quoted from a msg I posted from Sonicaudio the ebay seller who suggested 300 hours. I think 150 is a good start then keep listening from there. Mine have easily 400 hours on them, possibly more, I have noticed them blossom into one great sounding IEM.

 

 

It's in the original GR07 thread...

 

 

That's a MK1.1 model (like mine) for sure...

Someone post pictures of the Bass heavy version?

and a couple posts after that.

I have a loaner unit of the GR07 MK2 bass edition on hand, I'll be doing A-B comparisons with my GR07 MK2 for the rest of the day.

 

The red streaks on the MK2 bass ed's cable are not as garish as I expected, it's actually quite understated.

 

Great! I'm looking forward to your impressions! And btw, the new model is named just GR07 BASS, not MK2... 

So it is. Silly VSONIC and their confusing naming schemes lol. Apart from the red-streaked cables, it's also just as soft as the MK2's cable. No need for those unwieldy cable guides at all.

 

About 2 hours in on the bass ed now, listening to prime Black Sabbath albums (Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules) with distinct basslines... early impressions, I thought the sub-bass rumble couldn't possibly get any better, but it did! More to follow later when I compare them, analyzing for differences.

 

no doubt. just that the thought of burning it in for so long is not pleasing to me, as with my e-q5s and w3s, burn in was not much of a factor imo

Man, I am losing track of all the GR07 iterations. Which ones exist now? And what's the general concensus on the new cable vs. the original cable? I'm still a bit miffed that - due to being out of the loop - I bought a set of original GR07 not one week before the new cable version dropped :(. Does the difference justify my disappointment?!

I will be waiting for GR08, too much version for GR07.

 

I have GR07 mk1 and still happy with it, if the differences is not so significant. I pass all the MK2 and bass

 

btw sorry if i ask a noob question here, but does GR07 (either mk1 or mk2) easily to drive?

Relatively easy to drive, they don't mind a little more power though if you have it on tap, I find they perform best when such power is feed to them.


I don't know how many hours mine have them on now? several hundred over 400, though using the same tracks and S9 player I'd used previously months ago sibilance has decreased, I can confirm they settle into there designed signature, this took many many hours to subside to these low levels. Same track > > same EQ > easily two months of use > sibilance has lessened. If it's bothering people, keep burning them in, these bio-cellulose drivers really seem to require LOTS of hours. This is coming from someone who's not the firmest believer and found it a chore setting them up the first few weeks up to 200 hours. The rest have been accumulated normally.

dedicate some time to get them up to 150 at least because mine are truly shinning now.

It's not something I really wanted to do either.

I don't know how it exactly works. Possibly all those soundwaves slowly penetrating through layers of bio-cellulose, what ever they are? It just sounds much smoother with more clarity, detail and separation then when I opened them. Just so we don't get confused I haven't been burning them in for two months. lol It was just the first two weeks doing 12 hours over night at moderate volumes the rest I have just listened to them. There was a point at 100 hours I thought this is a total waste of time.

But something happened far into the process.
