Quote: Agreed about not making it a chore. I just listen to the music and enjoy them. When I'm sleeping, I simply run music through them throughout the night. That's at least eight hours of burn-in every night -- not too bad.

I'm about 50 hours in now, and the sound is evolving beautifully. It's a really great sounding IEM, and the sound is still improving. The largest change in sound has been occurring in the treble -- it's getting much smoother and more detailed as the hours go on, and it's becoming less sibilant...

Quote: I bought my GR07 on Amazon.com through the seller GateShop, as suggested by another member of this forum. So far, no complaints. Shipping was fast and the package included all specified accessories.

Quote: I'm believing you about the burning in. I let them play overnight for 8 hours or so, and listened to them this morning. Quite a noticable difference in sound. The treble is much more detailed now and not nearly as congested. The bass is about the same, as is the midrange...

Quote: Haha. My o-chem professor is actually not only incredibly intelligent, but he is an awesome teacher of the material as well. I'm really enjoying this class.

I just received my GR07 in the mail today and listened to the first few songs. They're obviously not burned in, so I wasn't expecting much. I think they sound good, and seem pretty neutral. The detail is excellent. The treble is bothersome...not really with sibilance, but rather it just sounds...

Well, after many nights of no sleep, wondering, "What if the Yamaha EPH-100 is a better unit for me . . .," I said screw it (the EPH-100 not being available on Amazon helped with my decision). I just ordered the Vsonic GR07, finally. If I don't like them, it's not the end of the world. I'm sure...

Quote: I've looked into those, but I'm afraid the price is just too much right now. Also, I have a gift card for Amazon, and I haven't found any sellers for this IEM there yet.

Thank you both very much for your time. The GR07 is being sold on Amazon from a seller named FireBall -- has nearly a 100% positive feedback score through over 4500 ratings. I don't know if they're authorized, however... are there many fakes floating around of these 'phones? Any...

Quote: Thank you, that's pretty much what I needed to know anyway.

One more question about the GR07:   Since I will be using these earphones mostly while studying at the library, I will be listening to somewhat softer music (with a bit of rock thrown in). Dark jazz (Bohren), some darker electronic (songs like Melankoli by Lulu Rouge, for example), some...

Quote: This is pretty interesting to take note of, for when I do decide to buy another player in the distant future (still no players with 128 GB flash memory!). Do other Cowon players share the same lack of synergy between their audio chips and the GR07?

Hmm! Two conflicting opinions!   As for funds to buy a new DAP, absolutely cannot afford it right now. Funds to buy an amp...well, I would much rather save my money and not spend it on an amp, even if it is cheap compared to my desktop variant. I'd say, at most, I'd spend $30. I'm a tightwad...

Quote: All my music for portable use is either 256 kbps AAC or 320 kbps MP3. FLAC is reserved for home use through my main setup.

Quote: See, that's what I'm worried about. My only sources are either an iPod Touch (3rd gen, I believe - curved back, retina display) or my Motorola Droid RAZR. I am really not wanting to purchase an amp, since funds are limited due to college books and tuition. Will the headphone out of...
