Understood. Thanks for your explanation. For me, I find the IT01X provides a more exciting and detailed listen than the Starfield which is sluggish in comparison. Honestly, can't see Starfield sounding better for mainstream pop music. Of course, we are all entitled to our own opinion. Cheers.
For under $40 with free shipping? You got a deal! I ordered a pair and will leave impressions.
So the other IEM I got at the same time as the GK10 as you guys can tell the GK10 pretty much stole any thunder from a very good Reecho SG-01
Reecho is a surprising up n coming newer manufacturer. I know only a handful of models I have heard from the maker. SG-03 is still to this date the Sub $100 sub bass king. SG-01 uses a graphene 10mm dynamic for the sound and these for the price of $40 is supposed to be their intro model.
Believe me these don't sound intro anything. These are straight up excellent sounding IEMs for an intro level price. These to me sound much better tuned vs Tin T2 plus. Not as splashy of treble with a more even balance of sound across the spectrum. In fact I do believe these are the best balanced Reecho made earphones to date.
The value of these earphones are clearly evident for several reasons but here is a big surprise. These come with some outstanding tips. The type of tips you would actually pay the price just to buy for your collection. They come with a set of silicones that are very identical to Azla sendafit short tips.
Compared to the TIn T2+. Tin Hifi has a tendency to favor treble enhancements to make their earphones sound more "hi fi" but end up sounding a bit artificial in the process. Especially when compered to the SG-01 more natural even handed balanced sound signature.
SG-01 don't need to have this type of treble influence in the tuning as I can tell the driver just resolves better. Better mids and bass focus and overall a more evenhanded balancing vs the T2plus treble skew. Of course this will depend on a persons sound sensibilities in how they like their tuning. There is more lower treble influence on the tuning of the T2
SG-01 has more body fullness with a much more airier sound in general. Is better balanced and sounds like a higher tier of earphone vs the T2 plus relatively thinner body of sound. There is a ambient air to the sound of the SG-01 that the T2plus just don't have. It sounds much more dry and thin in comparison. It looses out to the SG-01 on sheer dynamics and naturalism. SG-01 has better timbre sounds way more natural and most importantly much more musical. Vocals have better projection, texture with much better depth to the over all sound. Treble is not a splashy sounding and actually fall in line better than the Tin2 plus which you can tell is overall tonality is influenced by the treble enhanced tuning.
Bass is not really comparable here as graphene does bass here which sounds much better textured good impact deeper reaching and presence to the sound and while the subbass is not like the specialist like the SG-03. Bass is most definitely satisfactory and is again more comparable to much more expensive sets in the sub $100 range for bass. I think the best aspect of the SG-01 is that they have all parts of the sound in equal footing vs one part of the sound having more of an influence over other parts of the tuning.
It is simply a much better sounding earphone overall and I never thought the T2 plus was necessarily a bad sounding unit but it is clearly trying to be a phone that it isn't. The SG-01 is comfortable in what it does with a much more natural tone and timbre ability maximizing what graphene sound can do for the price range. While these might not be the ground breaking sound of the GK10 these definitely hold their own and has arguably a much better build than the all plastic build of the GK10.
So the recent NiceHCK Loftys come with a thicker 4 cored higher end 6N OCC copper cable. So happens to match up extremely well with the SG-01 even better than on the Loftys. So I have been using that cable on here. Loftys could use a bit of silver in the cable but that is a minor oversight I mention in my review of them.
Overall SG-01 is a success and while these are their cheapest model, they certainly dont sound like their cheapest model. These sound just as good as their more expensive SG-03 in fact is better balanced of the two models and at almost half the price of the SG-03.. Get yourself a set if you need an affordable great sounding unit and don't want a heart shaped earphone in your ears.
I don't know why but I get the impression that the IT01X you have is defective. "Excessively high treble" ?? In IT01x??? Well, rather not. You can argue that the tonality of the Tanya is better, but I would never put these iems side by side. OK - I have been on HF for a short time but I have listened to some headphones/iems in my life and for the first time I encounter such a different opinion on the same model. Something is not right here
It was in my basket when I was shopping during summer sale but I pulled the trigger for s..f.. Iem, the one with Knowles ba + dd. I regret a bit that I didn't add this guy.

PS I will agree that these iems will not suit everyone.
"Star rating changes due to the Apocalypse"
Its really an Apocalypse, bass-weak and almost don't have nozzle horrible fit
Its certainly not bass-weak and fit is great.Its really an Apocalypse, bass-weak and almost don't have nozzle horrible fit
I think I am the only one with the GD3A though...
The dynamic drivers from GS Audio arent bass weak and their shells are quite comfortable in my opinion, even with my relatively small ears. I will certainly concede that their nozzles can be a bit short, but you can always opt to spend the $10 to get the metal nozzle variant instead. The resin seems fine to me, though.Its really an Apocalypse, bass-weak and almost don't have nozzle horrible fit
I read this in a Facebook group but it reminds me of the Thie L3 what i sent back because they dont fit in my
