    GR07 MK2 cable starting to fail

    I'm interested if there is any 'permanent fix' for this as well. I really can't find myself buying another GR07 after mine broke just after a year even with light home use. I'm wondering if anyone tried if it was feasible to incorporate hardwired replaceable connectors on the body without...

    Superlux Express Train

    Has anyone heard anything about the upcoming Superlux models? I was nearly going to impulse buy the HD562, but I read that there would be a facelift model and a Bluetooth version of it released in the future, but I couldn't find anyone mentioning any details except for this Chinese site (and...

    REVIEW: Vivo Xplay 3S + XE800 Mobile audio perfection

    It's not pretty, but since you asked: I painted the outer shell for fun, not sure if it's going to chip off later. I cannibalized the cable from some other earphone, which claims it's from Furukuwa. I will have to recable it again some time later though, not only because the cable is a...

    REVIEW: Vivo Xplay 3S + XE800 Mobile audio perfection

    It's a metal swivel nozzle, the nozzle looks exactly like my old GR07 (and oxidizes just like it), but I don't think it's definitive proof that it's genuine. Never underestimate Chinese counterfeiters

    REVIEW: Vivo Xplay 3S + XE800 Mobile audio perfection

    I did figure it out after reading some Chinese forums, and was able pry open the shell using an thin aluminium guitar pick: The shell is held together by two scale model-esque joints on the white perimeter, with some extra adhesive applied. The driver seems to be held to the lower part of...

    REVIEW: Vivo Xplay 3S + XE800 Mobile audio perfection

    Sorry for the necro bump, but does anyone know how to open up these earphones for a recable? (and perhaps to see if the units/drivers are genuine after all) My XE800's cable are in disrepair, shouldn't be long until the left channel goes out. I recently took these out for a listen and found...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

    Hi there, newbie here! Just bought a pair of IM50s, and I've been wondering if there are any eartip suggestions for people with small ear canals? I've been using the small eartips for the IM50s, and they do fit me, but they are a bit too large, and I'm afraid they might be a bit too tiring to...

    The new IEM of Vsonic VSD 3S ( impression updated by smailbz)

    Has anyone compared these to the GR07 (any variant), more specifically, in sound signature and soundstage? I've been looking for a comparable replacement ever since my would-be RMAed GR07s were lost in transit.

    Ksc75 custome paint job thread: Show your color!

    That is awesome, does the paint peel off after wear though? And how did you prevent paint going through the vent/grille/holes? I always wanted to try and paint my KSC75s, that is, until the drivers died out. :(

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Has anyone have any experience of dealing with Vsonic directly, for warranty or so? My pair of GR07s bit the dust, tried emailing Vsonic, but so far they haven't responded.

    VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions

    Has anyone tried RMAing or dealt with VSonic warranty? My GR07 Bass has gave up the ghost; right driver suddenly went silent, even after babying it, and only scarcely using it for portable purposes. Not enough strain relief perhaps?

    VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions

    Quote:   I got the GR07+GR04 deal from a VSonic pre-order promotion. The promotion was aimed at the Chinese market AFAIK, and was found at the VSonic official shop of Taobao, which is basically the Chinese equivalent of eBay. IMO the GR04 isn't really worth it, mines really haven't got...

    VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions

    I don't own the vanilla GR07, so I couldn't do an A/B comparison. However, there are some comparisons between the bass edition and the vanilla version posted by people in Chinese forums if that helps: http://bbs.imp3.net/thread-10787053-1-1.html:    ...

    FiiO Guitar Headphone Amp G01 will on the market

    Interesting, so does it only do pedal-style overdrive, or will it do amp simulation like the Vox Amplug or so?

    VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions

    Quote: It's probably just the perfectionist/designer mentality inside of me that nitpicks every small detail, in this case, the cable colors.  I'm not sure with the burn-in factor, I couldn't hear much difference except the change in bass quantity since the first day (which I'm not even...

    VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions

    Recently purchased the new VSonic GR07 Bass Edition, and was suggested by a fellow member to open a separate thread for these IEMs, so here's some of my impressions and thoughts of them.   Full disclosure: I purchased the GR07 bass edition during an preorder promotion, with the total cost...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Not sure, but all I know is it looks like candy cane, and the box does say "1.30m +/- 3% TPU cable, maximum 82 cores silver and cooper combo wire" [sic], hence my guess it's copper/silver tangled together. The red portion of the tangled wire does look a bit more red than normal copper to me...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Finally went against my rationality, and bit the bullet for the cheaper and unauditioned GR07 bass edition instead of the vanilla (and tried and tested) GR07 yesterday as well.  Travelbug, where did you get the 3 weeks ETA from? I asked an Vsonic sales rep yesterday and I think he said that...
