The retracting volume knob seems cool but wouldn't it be an unnecessary failure point compared to a fixed knob?

Just got a user impression from the local forum.

  The GR07X costs the exact same price, $199...

GR07X is built from a brittle and proven-to-be unreliable material
 
GR07X does not have truly detachable cables
 
GR07X has a mediocre warranty made worse by the lack of competent english-speaking employees
 
I fail to see how an unproven and untested IEM with obvious design flaws from a company that released a $99 earphone that breaks in under a year is anywhere near to competing with the Pinnacle. Furthermore, OP said he wanted something in the $99 range, not the $200 range, so the GR07X is irrelevant anyways.

  I have them. If you like the basic GR07 sound sig, they're worth every penny. Smoother highs, more forward vocals, MUCH deeper soundstage, phenomenal levels of separation.

 
Never had the chance to try the GR07. Where did you buy the GR07X from?

I have the P1 and while they do sound great to me & have a lot going for it, alas it is not defect-free. Earlier on, several users had issues with the cable and/or the connector, whereby sound would cut out. More recently, there are reports of cosmetic issues..the brushed finish on the earpieces would rub off and come off totally. MeeAudio has been gracious enough in providing replacements for the first issue, not sure about what has been done for the second one.

.....Yea, it does feel kind of lonely with my Kinera BD05.

Soon your loneliness should end then at least two new owners of BD05 will join your one-man club and from what you write about them: "great wide soundstage with realistic sounding vocals" there is a chance that we will be quite happy with them

And though the housing looks a little cheap, it's a hybrid with detachable cables!....I'll take these over the ZST anyday just on SQ! ....Just my 2 pesos.

Tried to buy the **** dt2. There was none in stock do to "factory development issues"

I can't tell if it's just an excuse or maybe they know there's a problem in the form of a fake driver.

  Audio signal path is positive(signal) > driver (which translates signal to ears& brain as sound) > ground. Ground cable impedance comes after driver and isn`t affecting signal path that ends up in our ears. Source is "pushing" signal one way and "pulling" it other way (ground). If for rough example signal would travel from both, ground and positive, to driver, then it would make more sense that ground is also affecting sound re-produced by driver.
 
Or am I thinking totally wrong?

taking your thinking to the extreme (in absurdum): then you wouldn't need a cable after the driver: that would equal a cable with infinite resistance, but since resistance after the driver doesn't matter you would be ok anyway...

If there's resistance between the driver and your source's ground, then the signal needs to be "pushed" all the way, even from the driver to the ground.
 
i'm an engineering student, so some things might be basic knowledge for me but not for others. I hope i don't come across rude or so!

Thanks for explaining. Will educate myself little more in that audio chain impedance effect.
Actually, isn`t ground cable impedance effect provable by simple test? - one cable with low impedance ground and other cable with very high impedance ground, both cables having same low impedance positive signal cable. If there is difference heard, then it would prove that ground cable affects sound also.

any inputs on tk13 vs moni one ?.sorry i tried searching back old thread its not easy to find the ones with the conversation and compiled it .
 
thanks as usual

 

[candy287]

i've contacted the seller of my dt2 plus and still waiting for them to response. hopefully i get a refund , i was very excited when i purchase them now all that hype is gone and just frustration. I've held off from buying on 11.11 sale because i got the dt2 now im back for searching a new triple driver iem. Any iem close to the sound for tf10?

My Moni One is still in transit and I've never heard the tk13  

 I'll definitely give some impressions once I have the Moni though.

Anybody here have experience with LA-A3S , i am planning to upgrade my " unmentionable " iem and really interested in A3S,
are these A3S will be a upgrade or not,???
Any advvice/ suggestions will be appreciated , thanks .

 

[MuZo2]

May be you should wait for LZ-A4

That's will be so nice , 
any idea about their launching date ,???

It will be soon. First impressions should be up in a few days. Also, have you considered the Moni One? Very similar in appearance to the 'other' one and same driver config with supposedly less peaky treble.
