Thanks for the reply, OP. I was referring to
the other review by maderin1 there. I've got 4 pairs of headphones/earphones from mp4nation too. 5 if you count the Betas that I gave away. Was really happy with the M4 and M5, and the HM3 sounds great too, but then I got the GR02 BE. I don't consider myself a basshead, but I recently found a liking for chillstep and minimal electronic music, in addition to listening to some mainstream pop and occasionally classical music. Strong but not overpowering bass sounds great. As noted in some reviews posted in this forum, the GR02 BE does not have obnoxious overpowering bass as its name might suggest. There is bass emphasis and extension, for sure, but I also find it to be spacious, well separated, clear, and fun to listen with. It was a pleasant surprise (a bit of mixed feelings actually, because I was becoming a big Brainwavz fan like you), especially since Clieos ranked it lower than the M4 and M5 in his brilliant list, but as regular visitors to this forum would know from the many disclaimers posted, sound quality can be very subjective.
