Anyone had a chance to test these earphones out and compare them to it's competitors in the $200 IEM market?

Really looking for some opinions on these earphones as they seem to be largely underappreciated (or rather never generated any buzz) on this forum
Thanks, any information is useful!

oh a few people have it, just not many like it.
I had a listen to it again and on clip+ instead of cowon d2, but I can't find any redeeming features.
most independent reviews i've seen couldn't either. (the non 20 line ones in fashion magazines that look oddly suss)

A person I trust told me that they messed up the final tuning, whatever that means. 

It is young company, probably still in Beta stage, if you want similar product around that price there are non(with positive feedback). You might need to wait still vsonic GR08 is released and might need to pay more.

some people may like t-peos h-100 in the meantime. or not. (hybrid ba/dd, metal body, ok cable, a bit upper mids/treble happy, but great low end) and costs < $200 incl shipping (i think it's about $150 final price, but not sure)

well, people speculate (incl me) they messed up the driver choice, xover design/chamber design, picked an annoying cable and body shape and market it to hipsters with strange 10 liner magazine reviews that are very highly rated but non descript biggrin.gif

Ah, that's slightly disappointing news

sort of hoping they be a competitor with $200 models

i've seen alot of praise heaped on them on headphone websites (but then again they could just be supporting a local product)

what is the vsonic gr08 supposed to be released? also, hoping that it's not designed similarly to the gr07, i just find the gr07 is slightly finicky to fit properly (I know alot of ppl disagree)

The reason why I suggested gr08 is that it is the only speculated cheap hybrid that is based on company reputation is to do well. I know virtually zero hybrid IEM under 500 USD.

The 56 is excellent. I haven't heard that about the 78.

Hey guys I'm selling my af78's which will be up on ebay tonight. I prefer the af56's with my music as the af78's just have too much clarity for me haha.
