  You hit the nail on the head with your post about the SE215. It pretty much set the tone for how budget IEMs are built nowadays; a small budget no longer meant you have to sacrifice in both build and sound quality. In fact, its build quality still surpasses many entry level IEMs to this day. Even I still use my SE215s, not for everyday listening, but it's an excellent pair of headphones to sleep with. 

 

 

+1 on everything Tom22 said. Yes everything. I've owned all the phones he's talking about

 
thank you all, appreciate the support! it certainly a nice welcome after about 2 weeks of being MIA.

  i gotta agree, can't go recommending others on equipment you haven't tried =P or all hell will break loose
 
the ttpod isn't a basshead earphone. i can tell you that. even though i only had them for a day and half. sure their emphasized in the bass and so is the gr07be but that doesn't bass head.
 
i would say its more than the gr07Be, maybe around the vsd3s, but not much more than that. if thats considered basshead, then call me a basshead!  
 
but gotta say the ttpod t1e is a pretty dam capable earphone in its own right, its quite big though so it might not fit others (i can't wear them over the ear...which is a first because every earphone i own can be worn that way.... kinda bothers me a bit) not a big fan of wearing cable down... ahh i'll get over it, i'm sure

Will u please describe the mids of ttpod vs gr07??

I'm tempted to get the classic edition of these to use as my work iem. I remember being kinda bored when I used the gr07 but those were a 2 week loaner or something like that. I recall the midrange being somewhat recessed and the treble lacking quality. Has that improved since the original version?

By lacking quality do you mean too sibilant? I find the treble a little hot, but it's very natural and clear to my ears. The mids are slightly recessed but they're pretty neutral. Definitely not a mid centric sound though. The difference between the original GR07 is a better cable and different color. The tuning and internals are the same.

I remember it being veiled and lacking detail. It's been a long time so can't really go into specifics. The maroon color does interest me and since these will be for work I probably don't need the best quality.

Trying to decide whether I spend $145 to get my W4s recabled through BTG or just let them go and move to Gr07BE for $15 cheaper.

Thoughts?

Do you still enjoy Westone 4? I guess you need to consider if a change is welcome for you or whether you want to hang in there. For myself I like to mix things up with variety. I've owned Westone 4 twice, and probably won't again. I would go as far to say new gear like Vsonic VSD3S is not all that far behind my Westone 4 memories, YMMV. (but keep in mind I'm a little crazy)

Figured I'd ask here since it's the most likely place to get a response: does anyone not sure their ear guides for the GR07? If not, I'd love to buy them from you, PM me if you're willing to sell them!

Probably the big dip on the upper midrange dulling vocal edges and crescendos and the bass being a little on the rounded edge side as well, all the while retaining great bass detail.

The midrange is only a bit back but the gr07 does this great thing where it pulls everything away from that center image and it layers well in the near field so vocals always sound consistent and like they have their own sonic bubble.

Its a relaxing experience in that way, like being comfortable at home, but a modern design kind of a thing, not rustic. Except for that treble peak, which makes cymbals a bit... splashy, maybe, but leaves vocals only mildly sibilant, the kind which you hear on a crappy mastering but not really ear piercing unless you are incredibly sensitive there.

The maroon is indeed a great color. Liking that aspect, and the comfort a lot. The stock medium tips for my ears better than any other tip I've ever tried, just like I remember, and exerts almost no pressure on my inner ear while keeping a pretty reasonable seal.

 VSD3S is not all that far behind my Westone4

On a scale of 10 or % wise whats your score of 3S against W4?....
