I managed to carefully get it out. It still doesn't work. The fading in does make me think it's a driver rather than cable issue. I've dealt with those before, so I know how they sound.

I've had the HF5s in the past. Loved em, but they really are bass light, though they will get decent bass with a good seal in your ear.   Note, I use "had" since I lost them and wanted to keep experimenting, not because I didn't like them.

Does anyone here have any thoughts regarding these compared to the GR07s?

The sound went out suddenly I'd assume, as it was in between uses, moving it did nothing, and then, after wearing them for a bit, (20-30 minutes) the right side "faded in" to normal levels. Now, I don't even get that. And sadly, no electronic diagnostic and repair stuff here. (Don't know why...

Well, it looks like, after a year, my GR07 Classics have failed. I'm getting no audio from the right channel. I've tried removing a mass of earwax, thinking that was the issue. No go. I then tried gently manipulating all through the cable. No go. Then, I tried taking it apart to take a look. The...

Mine arrived a couple days ago from Lend Me Ur Ears. Mine DID have the proper "GR07 Classic" stickers, and the same accessories as others have posted.  (S, M, L, double flange, and Comply eartips, in addition to the ear hooks) I decided to wait a bit to listen and post some impressions so...

Thanks to this forum, I've got a pair of maroon/wine coming soon. My wallet hates forums like this... I'll post my impressions when I get them. (No experience with Vsonic so far, so no comparisons from me) 

I would advise against recabling these. THe TWFK drivers are monstrously difficult to handle unless you know what you're doing. (Which I don't, so I'm down a driver. ) Oh well... After several attempts to fix these things (the last being a horrible failure) I have three options. Buy another...

Been a while since I've been on here... (Why am I coming back? My wallet was recovering nicely!)    Speaking of annoying buttons... I must say that the most annoying issue is having the player keep thinking the next button is pressed. It does that sometimes. As such, I have to carry around a...

Regarding the memory wire, until I completely removed it, it would cause a bit of discomfort where it went over my ears. Now? No discomfort at all.   Now if only I could figure out how to prevent discomfort every time I swap out my Ety tri-flanges...

I just got a different pair of headphones, the Rockit Sounds R-50, and I can say that, as with the Hf5s, they pair very well with the C3.   I still have to get the BH that many here say pairs well with the C3...

I just got these in the mail. (A lot faster than expected.) I was replacing my HF5s with them. With the Ety triflanges, they sound good.    I'm keeping them.

Quote: Alright, upon your suggestions, I looked into the two. The eQ5, while nice looking, I wouldn't like it as it looks a bit awkward to wear. The R-50 though, that's another story. I decided to get a pair after reading a few reviews. They seem like they'll be very good.  If they don't...

Hello! I am a bit saddened to say that I have lost my HF5s. I quite liked the sound from them, but I'm curious to see what IEMs you guys would suggest. (Roughly the same price range as the HF5s, but I could stretch quite a bit this time... to about $2-300 if needed.)   Thanks in advance!

. Nvm I missed the suggestion thread. Please disregard / delete.

Quote: I do, yes. It kinda makes managing files a bit easier with less files.  Quote: Two miles? No way. Two miles with music? I'd be ok with that.

Quote: Thanks for going into detail on that one! I suppose that, until we get a firmware update, (if we do) I'll start to use WAV.  

Leaving it to play, without skipping, the timing is perfect and it works great. But as soon as you try to change tracks...

Quote: Yup, same result here. The same exact .cue file works perfectly with Audacity, but has issues with the C3. Thanks for the tip BTW 

Yeah, I just noticed that some of my stuff does that. Let me try it on the computer.   EDIT: Nevermind. The best support I've found for .cue on Linux isn't very good. 

Quote: Waiting is the most difficult part. Well, aside from trying to convince someone to let you spend so much on audio gear. . . 

Yeah, the UI is rubbish. Yeah, the screen is tiny. Yeah, it sometimes locks up. Yeah, it can't handle very many formats. Yeah, organizing the music on it is a pain.    But man, it has to be the finest sounding player I've found for ~$100...
