I ordered a pair...but I ain't getting rid of my Ostrys.
Famous last words
I ordered a pair...but I ain't getting rid of my Ostrys.
I didn't even get to hear them and iam considering to buy a backup pair.
Zero Audio should hire mochill for the western market, most brilliant guerilla product marketing known to mankind.
The fit for me goes deeper
..... Oh, and I got them in this afternoon. I’m just now sitting down with them…I’ve been preoccupied all day.
First thoughts: “s**t, vacuum seal.”
Ok, stream of diarrhea incoming…
Definitely more 3d than the Ostry, but lacks the Ostry’s air in the lower mids and general prowess with vocals. It’s also not as diffuse-fieldy as I thought it would have been.
The vacuum seal may be messing with my thoughts, so I switch to the Jay’s foam tips, one of the few foamies that don’t obstruct the nozzle.
Wow, the soundstage can be startling at times. Timbre is wow.
Nevermind, vocals are frickin’ (PG version) amazing. I just wish they had a touch more air.
Bass is a lot more powerful than I was expecting, based on gnarlsagan and lusident’s preferences, but it’s exquisitely controlled. It’s a MH1C, but without the gaudy sub-bass lift.
I still wish vocals had more air, and that the upper mids could have a slight lift to give a bit more aggression. As it stands, it may be a tad too smooth for me.
I can’t yet directly compare to the Ostry since my pair is out on tour, but this phone has already impressed me as much as the KC06 did on first listen…which says a LOT.
I still wish it had a bit more air with vocals.
I got the loaner Tenore in today. These were the initial impressions I sent.
Adding to this, timbre is truly remarkable.
Legenddddd!
Now I got to buy these.
I'm curious (slightly OT)... where do you stand now on the GR07? With the recent influx of top-tier budget IEM's, do you think they can hold their own? I'm thinking of repurchasing the GR07BE because I loved it so much when I had it
