I'll say $27 is a great buy. A151 usually priced around $55 and you certainly find many of its review here in the forum.

pretty sure it's already been asked but, for the same price , which is better the gr04 (the one you reviewed) or 06?
Yes, indeed I has been asked. Here was the answer I gave last year and it is still the same for now. Also, the review for VSONIC's IEM will be posted soon, probably within the next two day as I am about to finish my M4 review first.

Lots of browser add-ons are avable 4 that. I use Single file 4 chrome, Opera has that builted in- save as single file, but hard core option is file 2 pdf printer softvare. I know for two free progs: bullzip pdf printer and cute pdf. They are present in system as hardware printers, so its just send file to printer, or print page, or.....
Window pops up to save it to... as pdf and voaila!

Amazing review ClieOS ... Very informative and enriching to a newbie like me 
Brainwavz M4 added.
Balanced 7. Brainwavz M4 (link)
Deep V-shaped frequency response with lots of treble and bass and supposed to a bassy version of the bright sounding B2. While abundance and has decent depth, bass can be slightly boomy at time. However, it is not offensive and rather still quite enjoyable. Mid range, especially vocal, comes out clean and well detailed, but lacks a good sense of texture and warmness. It is further away in the whole presentation and can get slightly overpowered by other frequencies, especially in bass heavy, fast music. Treble is decently extended and crisp, but not quite as bright, detail or aggressive as B2. A peak around 12 kHz makes it sounds slightly grainy on the upper vocal, but again, nothing offensive or sibilant. Soundstage is above average, largely thanks to the recessed mid that gives more space between the listener and the performer.
Pro: Much cheaper if order from Amazon.
Con: Mild driver flex.
Glad you find ti useful

What in-ear brings most clarity in the midrange and treble without being harch or too analytical?
Generally you won't see many IEM that can do both mid and treble well at to same time. To me, it is about the balance between the two - I'll say Ortofon e-Q5 fits that description. On a slightly lesser degree, j-phonic K2 SP and a balanced driven RE272.

I know I becoming a huge fanboy of these but you should review the Rockit Sounds R-50 sometime, it would be a great addition to the balanced section. At their price point I think they're easily one of the top bang for buck sets now, with its balanced detailed sound presented in a smoother way than many of the other TWFK based IEM's. I hear the R-50 almost the same as joker hears the GR01 which can't be a bad thing.
Just my two cents but I'm looking forward to your Aurvana IE3 review though mine are collecting dust now with the R-50 taking up all my time.

Will try, but living on the opposite side of the world from the US do limit my opportunity on trying out new IEM.
