Ah! Now I remeber, yes. That was the reason. My personal subjective taste/sound perception just don`t like intimate "in your face" & intruding-into-headspace sounds. Rather slight distance to music from every direction.
Intimate doesn't necessarily mean crowded though - in the case of the P4 Pro, its layering and imaging keep it from sounding in your face or squashed together.

Yea, I believe You. Just that I like little distance between music and my headspace with nice layering/transparency in frontal soundstage depth :wink: I come from fully open full sized cans and really like "holographic soundscape" presentation. So far modded ZS5v1 has been able to stand up to such soundscape but SQ-wise I prefer modded IT01 over it, only slightly laggin behind "holographic" soundstage of ZS5v1.

Sorry, made a mistake, I have the CB200, not CB2000.
I looked it up, it's a 12mm single DD. The CB1000 has a 10mm DD + piezo.

you mean the tmall link here?

GR07 build quality was balls though, so despite the GR09 also highly regarded, quite wary to jump on any Vsonic now (they've also gone quiet for some reason?)

survived 12.12 without getting any new gear, so I'm quite happy, lol.

I agree. VSonic build quality is pitiful in my experience.

vsonic seems to be an also-ran these days--their prices are significantly higher than the more "underground" stuff we obsess about here. i've owned at various times the gr07 (nice but bass shy and not significantly better to my ears than its $14 sibling, the vivo xe800), vsds 1 (sorta veiled) and vsds 5 (good but unmemorable), come to think of it, each of the above had qc issues, esp. frail connectors

Not a headphone or IEM or anything hardware wise, but I got my Penon Audio Christmas card today and it's nice. I really like that it's handwritten and a unique card. :)

You can't say that and not share a picture of it here and spread the holiday cheer. :)
