I know what you are saying about the sound staging in full sized vs earphones as earphones physically are closer or in your ear that being said. Earphones such as the EX600 and even the TF10s are weird in they they both have a wider stage than is closer to a headphone like sound than most. I know the GR07 has a monitor like presentation and sound staging is average for an earphone.. You need to try out an earphone more suited to your music preference. Try out a CKS77.. If you heard hiphop and dub on these I am willing to bet you. You wouldn't touch your Samsons..
For your musical preference I recommend the CKS77 hands down. The CKM99 is similar to your GR07 but leans more toward a musical version of the GR07. There is a bit more bass emphasis and the mids are smoother but something like a CKM99 would be more of a side grade. The CKM77 also is similar yet actually more defined over the GR07 so for critical listening the CKM77s are best but again for what you listen to the CKS77. The CKS77 would be a different/ more proper to what your listening to..
Hmmm... interesting. I read that the CKS77's bass is perhaps a bit boomy, which is a turn-off for me. But maybe it's not too bad. This ebay seller here is selling them for $52, which seems like a great deal if they do indeed outshine my GR07 for the music I listen to. But I already ordered the Brainwavz M4 for $28 so I'll have to hold off on these. Do you think it would be worth it to cancel the M4 and just go for these? The 12.5mm drivers are very intriguing...
