I can't 

I think you deserve a few months hiatus after you hit 300 reviews.

Maybe the mods could lock the thread while you're away.

Can't say I disagree 

 
 
Scares me how much farther behind I'll fall, though.

I mean NO DISRESPECT but do you really think you would stop listening to new phones when you were away? I just mean that somewhere deep down that's what you love to do and just a break from feeling that you have to produce reviews and respond to questions might be enough to make you feel better.

 Nah, you'd only be gone from reviews for a few months. I'm sure you can still log on and browse the forums every now and then.

All this mention of giving joker a vacation makes me wonder, does joker have an actual job?

 

[MoonYeol]

From the looks of it, he works somewhere where he can listen to music all day long and write reviews while he's working. Otherwise I don't know how he does it.

Again I want to clarify that I mean NO DISRESPECT. I'm merely amazed by your commitment and I want to point out that your reviews are actually what showed me that iems were more than just small conductors of sound, all sounding about the same, and that hearing is elemental but listening closely and understanding what you are hearing is an art.

I would probably listen to just two or three pairs. When I'm just casually listening to music I don't need the best of the best - something at the RE-400 level would be sufficient.

 It took me years to get to that point.

Reading reviews from passionate reviewers who are really able to paint a picture of the way something sounds does help a lot in the process.

I just can't believe that a $65 IEM is being set to compete with IEMs several hundred dollars more.

Well, this is VSONIC, and I'd like to think they're known (at least in some capacity) for pushing the envelope on what we should expect at a given price point.
 
I know I wouldn't have pegged the VSD1 to be around $50, considering how good it sounded.
