Just to add some insult to the injury:   I got a pair of these fantastic sounding IEMs years ago. I used them exclusively for the gym, so they took tons of sweating; they never missed a beat (I always cleaned them with a towel and stored them on a zip pouch with silica gel after each use).  ...

Thanks BenF!! Been eanting to hear a Sabre based DAC for a while! Just ordered the 2 w/ TCXO upgrade.

Hi, So You find the hifimediy to sound better than the fiio?

Mimouille how would you say the heir audio 5.0 compares to those you just mentiomed??

Hi!       Thanks a lot for the pointer nicholars! Also being Senheisser a more widely available brand I may locate somewhere to try them!       Thanks LCfiner! Maybe I could try them also, being Philips!   Quote:   Didn't thought there were "affordable" CIEMs...

the only thing I'm afraid regarding this issue is... will this have any impact on v7007 release date? Looks more than probable...

I'm lost...   ljokerl, could you please point me to something in the $200-$600 range, either universal, or even preferred, CIEM that would suit my tastes?   After reading a lot of other reviews I'm still lost.   I want bass, I especially want great dynamics, cannot stand the most...

Quote:   Problem with "trying" those (K3003, Ultrasone IQ, Super.Fi 5EB, Heir 8.A, etc its all reach the $1000 mark, while CIEMs are around $600-700!   what about $300-$600 range? UE-900 maybe?

ljokerl, and any other with wide experience with IEMs, I would like to ask for some orientation:   After "discovering" the Vsonic GR06 thanks to this thread, I started to have the "itch" to upgrade, so the quest began...   I don't use amps, the IEMs should sound fine with a naked iphone...

PelPix, thanks a lot for the files and your time shared!!!

I seriously hope they don't use flat cables, that will be a no-no in terms of microphonics!

Quote:   Heavy driver flex... these drivers need more than 60 hours after soldering to go back to "normal" performance.   Just had to resolder the cable as an accidental trip to the washing mashine loosened the glue; after those burn-in hours the sound went back to "normal", and the...

ljokerl, kudos for this impressive thread!!! THANKS THANKS THANKS!   I was  in the quest for the ideal (for me) IEM, so first read all your reviews from $30 to $100, and confirmed your listening taste was in line with mine (comparing your impressions from IEMs I owned, like a-jays three...

I wanted to re-cable them with an original Apple cable w/ controls for ipod/iphone.   Best way to open them is to heat them slightly, then look where the cable enters the earpieces, on the outer side you'll see there's intentional space to insert a xacto knife (flatly) and do some force to...

Hi!   I got the GR06 recently in my quest for my ideal IEMs for use only with iphone/ipod and carry them always "on the go".    I'm having a hard time finding the ideal ear tips for them, I guess due to the square shape of the earpieces, the nozzles cannot go inside enough.   Lemme...
