The current version of the VSD5S does have a removable cable (standard MMCX).

Are you sure there's a version with removable cables? Cause I've searched everywhere and couldn't find one. The regular version does look like it has removable connectors, but it doesn't.

I could get a GR07 Classic 2017 MMCX for very cheap recently so I bought it to check it out and to me IT01 is clearly superior in every way. I don't think they are a good choice in the £/$100ish range today, treble is particularly horrible IMO and perceived clarity is for me way below the IT01, CH9T, A15s, EN700s or Kings.

Thanks. Looks like I won't be buying another GR07 then, I'll give the IT01 a try, EN700s also looks interesting.

I could have sworn mine were. I thought it was one of the changes in the newest “improved” version.

I just checked mine, and it appears to be affixed like you said (but I’m not 100% sure). I have so many IEMs, it’s hard to keep them all straight sometimes. I don’t want to pull mine so hard checking, that I rip the cable out.

This is a photo of the VSD5S I found online:

Also, in this photo you can clearly see the MMCX jack inside the body of the IEM at the bottom (it looks like a gold letter “M”):

If it was me, I would contact LendMeUrEars, one of the main VSonic dealers, and verify about the removable cable. That’s who I bought mine from.

Original VSD3/3S models had a proprietary MMCX but they were notoriously unreliable so they ditched the removable cables and fixed them in place on future 3, 3S, and all VSD5 models.

Good to know. Thanks for clearing that up B9!

Just received Urbanfun Hifi Mark II (beryllium black). Almost shockingly good sound for the price indeed. To my ears they are not as bright sounding or lean in bass as some people say, there is a slight warm tint in the sound. Good all-around IEMs.

Hm, I actually have the GR07 Bass Edition 2017 MMCX which I particularly like when used in combination with Shure olive tips and DFR. Nice extension to the sub-bass with good mid-bass quantity which doesn't bleed into the mid-vocals and a tamed treble (with the foam tips). It's one of my favourite IEMs for relaxing because of its super laid-back and warm signature and fairly wide soundstage.

I have a pair of IT01 coming in which I can do a comparison with when they arrive. I paid USD170 actually after the import duties + taxes and shipping and I thought the GR07BE were worth every penny. For me, it was a clear upgrade from the RE-400.

Please do compare IT01 and GR07BE. I have GR07C, and wish to know whether to get a pair of IT01 or not.

I have the same ones beryllium black. Definitely shockingly good. With a good seal they are not bass light. I can't remember if I am using the stock tips or not.

Im using stock tips and the seal is just about perfect. I would not call them bass-heavy either, pretty neutral sounding in overall.
