The Vsonic GR07X retains the form factor and design of the GR07 versions before it. It features a new driver (still biocellulose-based it seems) and allows for swapping the cable below the Y-split with a 2.5mm connector (snaps firmly into place, seems quite sturdy). Thus if the cable were to fail at the jack end, it should be possible to easily remedy that with any replacement.
Currently it ships with 2 included cables, 1 standard 3.5mm plug cable, and one balanced cable with a 2.5mm plug end. I also got a pack of spinfit tips included with them (small, medium, large sizes). Check with your dealer as I'm not sure if that will always be the case.
The GR07X sounds better to my ears than anything I've heard so far, including armature IEMs like the single BA Etymotic ER4S and the quad-BA Noble 4 Universal, single dynamics like the Dunu Titan 1, and full-size headphones like the biocellulose-based Audioquest Nighthawk or the planar Hifiman HE400i.
- Tip rolling is recommended to find the best presentation of the sound for you and your ear anatomy.
Compared to the GR07 Classic (I've heard 4 pairs of those) the GR07X features:
- More linear and neutral frequency response (less bloomy lower mids, tighter bass, treble peaks well-neutralized, very well-extended).
- Retains the crisp articulation of the GR07 Classics, and with improved micro-resolution.
- Also greatly improves imaging, soundstage/ambience/low level clarity and overall clarity across the spectral range.
- No vacuum seal or deep insertion required, which further helps wearing comfort.
- Materials seem refined slightly, the cable exit piece from the IEM has a tighter fit and no subtle glue residue between it and the IEM body. Cable is slightly more rigid than before.
- Improves on all aspects of the GR07 Classic, with no induced negatives whatsoever that I can perceive.
Listening to the GR07X, more than ever before for me, feels almost like a privilege. The articulation and clarity it provides is spectacular, even more so considering a single dynamic driver is providing it. It crackles and textures like a warm campfire.
Removable cables at the earpiece side might be a future feature to include, however I use the included earguides and never noticed that side incurring any stress. And removable connectors, unless designed to screw firmly into place to avoid wiggling and degradation of the connection, would be another failure point to worry about.
Very highly recommended if you have the money and are looking for very a well-balanced IEM, and sometimes breathtaking levels of articulation and clarity. I can only give these the highest rating, considering I find them (at double the price) to be as good of a deal as the GR07 Classic is.
