When I went from 7X to 8X, it was $125. I'm sure Mitch will quote you a price if you call. The 8X design requires a fair bit more work than the others.   Personally, I've decided to part with my 8X. It's a great headphone, but not 100% right for me and I'd like to downsize my collection a...

Thanks, guys.   FlySweep, you're exactly right, the 7X has terrific imaging for this sort of sound signature.

I thought I'd update and provide a mini-review of the 7X, now that I've owned it for two months.   First off, sorry, no pics. Also, I'm probably not too precise with my official head-fi glossary lingo.   The 7X has everything I was worried I wouldn't get from a BA configuration, having...

Hey folks, hoping someone can help me find something I've previously used, but that no amount of googling or browser history search can reveal.   It was a tone generator, the best I've used.   It was a grid. Along the top on the x axis, were all the different tones. From 10hz to...

I wouldn't be disheartened by my vaguely-described situation. Also, remember there's always the 6X to try if you want a different sound signature. As said, I just didn't want to leave people hanging without an update.

Not that anyone's waiting with bated breath, but I thought I'd update. I received the 7X, spent five days with them, and today they went back to Mitch for an adjustment. I'll pass on elaborating, except to say the sound was not at all what I expected, so much so that I have to assume something...

Just a heads up, GWagon, from what I can tell, Dream Earz will ship to the UK. Nulliverse reviewed the 5X here. Sucks about those import taxes. Maybe there's a way to finesse the paperwork to reduce the fees?   My 7X have been made (Mitch sent a pic, they look great). I should have them...

kenman345, sorry if this has already been covered, but what exactly is your relationship to Aurisonics? Is it purely super-eager fanboy (non-pejorative usage), or do you work for them, or have some sort of standing discount for referrals and your posts on head-fi, or something?   I ask...

Quote:   Interesting. Regardless of the fact you won't be able to A-B them, I'm very curious what you'll think of the 7X. Quote:     I'll definitely deliver a review once I've had a chance.   I'm a bit ignorant on exactly how the crossover is set up on the 7X, but I think...

Just thought I'd say thanks again for the advice. More than anything, the words "long term purchase" from average_joe stood out, along with the note on sound signature.   I ordered the 7X, and my ear impressions are in Mitch's hands starting today. I'll of course do a full review sometime in...

Quote:     There are impressions on the X6 from Mozu and FlySweep.   Nothing on the X7, currently.

Stunning, David. You should be incredibly proud. Thank you for sharing and providing the resource.

I think it'd be inaccurate to say I'm going after a GR07 sound. I definitely want a more engaging, impactful sound than the GR07, but I like that it strikes a good balance across the frequency range, which is something I don't want to lose.   If nothing else, I'd just like to know more about...

I was afraid you'd say as much, Mozu.   The 6X are very tempting, but at $665 they push me into an entirely new price bracket. From there, I'd also need to be considering things like the 1964-V6, also reported to be a neutral, high impact sound. Using the $400 Alclair Reference as my...

Hey folks, I need to ask a little help here. Before I get started, thanks for such a great thread and reviews from everyone.    I'm currently on GR07's and been thinking about making the CIEM plunge (so much so that I had impressions made yesterday).    If I'm going to drop what I...

Quote:   Joker, I appreciate the reply and the suggestion of the FX700.   I've wanted to give the FX700 a try for a while, but I'd really like to move away from universals and into customs, and I love my IEMs for particularly loud environments like airplane travel and city public...

I would like joker's and anyone's advice on budget custom IEMs. Sub $500, and I think I've got it narrowed down to 3 choices.   1) Alclair Reference (3-driver) is now $400. http://www.alclair.com/products/monitors/alclair-reference-custom-in-ear-monitor/   2) Clear Tune's CT-300 Pro...

Sorry if this is dragging out an issue, but I've run all the proper searches and can't find a definitive answer.   Do I buy the Comply TS-400 or the TS-200 for the GR07?   It seems people are using both, which is strange to me.

I dug up this post because I'm having the same issue. I think I'm getting a good seal because the sound is better in all aspects when compared to my previous universal tips (Shure black foam and regular Complys), but the isolation isn't near as good. I can hear too much noise from my keyboard...

This thread died over here in the cables forum. I got the discussion going over in the headphone forum here.

Hey folks - no, I'm not trying to really recable my E500s - but I do despise the extension cable, that horrible 3' of cable that has male mini jack on one end and female mini jack on the other. My main problems are: it's too stiff, too microphonic, and although I've been using them for three...

Hey folks. I've got a pair of Shure E500s that I love, but I hate the extension cord. Not talking about the short 12" attached to the phones, but the 3' cord that has male mini jack on one end and female mini jack on the other. My main problems is it is too stiff, microphonic, and although...
