Where do you guys buy the fx40? I was looking on ebay but the prices are way too high...

edit: nvm    

Quote: I'm not saying they're bass light, but the thread being "bass?" I was assuming he'd want more than neutral bass.  

I still haven't heard the gr07s (they're on their way), but from my understanding the bass is said to be neutral so I don't know if it's the best option (assuming he wants a somewhat bassy iem).  

Quote:   I think that might be it. The feedback in the thread was all over the place, like people were describing different iems.

Well it's funny how two people can hear the same iems differently.   I bought the FX500 when I don't know which mod made a thread about it (well he had the UK FX1000 version, but same iems) and compared it favorably with the ie8 two years or so ago. I was thinking that I would completely...

Well I sure hope I'll like the gr07 more than my M2s! To me the M2s are too warm and bassy, I expect the gr07 to be a lot more clear, detailled and neutral (fingers crossed!).  

Get the W4 locally since it seems you don't want to have to wait for a new pair to come, send back your gr07 in the meantime and when you get it back keep the one you prefer.

Just ordered them from lendmeurears, let's hope I'll be as happy with them as you guys are!

Is lendmeurears the only authorized seller? I'd rather buy them from www.earphone on ebay (they ship via ems) but they're not authorized right?

Looks like I have one last question;   while looking at dfkt's review of the ortofon e-q5 this bit caught my attention:   "They should make an excellent upgrade for people used to the Phonak PFE’s or Audio Technica ATH-CK10’s sound signature, and probably for fans of Etymotic or the...

Thanks for the help FlySweep, much appreciated!

Sounds good. So when I say fast and detailled/transparent with good extension on both ends and a neutral sound (neither bright nor warm), that makes you think of the gr07? I really don't want something warm, I had the fx500 and have the brainwavz m2 and they were/are far too warm and bassy...

Could the gr07 fit the bill for someone who is looking for someting as detailled/transparent/fast as the re0 with a tad more body and better soundstage?  

I had bought an amp (Shanling PH100) but sold it because at the time I was thinking about selling everything. But even then I didn't think the shanling really was an upgrade over the Zero. It was warmer, with more bass (too much), mids (too much) and more dynamic but it lacked extension in...

You're making me think twice about buying another pair of headphones... Don't you think they lack some "kick" in the bass for rock?

I don't really know, not having heard a lot of headphones I'm just wondering if cans like the MS1 or DR150 which are said to be great rock cans could do a better job. When I bought my K601 I looked at different threads here (even made one) and people didn't think the K601 could "rock". But I...

Hi, I'm looking for headphones that would complement my K601s when I want something more exciting to listen to indie/alt.rock and am hesitating between the Alessandro MS-1i and Goldring DR150. The MS-1i would cost me around 80 euros if I don't get hit with taxes (+15/20€ for bowls) and the...

Thanks joker! And once again great thread.

Love the soundstage, airiness and overall balance of my pl30 but I'm looking for something a little more exciting to listen to my electronica/indie/rock collection. Something with a little more bass slam but not too much (had the JVC HA-FX500 but the bass was bloated to me, it made the...

It's funny that you find the 601 to be thiner than the 702, from what I read most people feel that it's the other way around...
