does this have the same signature as the r02 but different model name? tyvm ^.^

 

[ClieOS]

Yes, it is just a rename so GR02 = R02 + more accessories.

I'll say it is about noticeably better than GR02.

Can anyone comment on these? The GR02 Bass edition is only $36 which is about my price range. I was consiering the MEE SP51's and Klipsch S4 (but waiting for a sale). Considering these also pending feedback

 

[ClieOS]

GR02 Bass edition is better sounding than S4 and almost as good as SP51, so I'll recommend you skip the S4 all together. Sound signature wise, GR02 bass is very similar to SP51 on the bass tuning plate - dynamic, fun, warm and sweet. SP51 just wins in a hair for better treble extension. Unless you can find SP51 for the same price, GR02 bass edition should be one of the best IEM in the price bucket.

Well that sounds pretty perfect to me! Can anyone else vouch for it? 

How is the price point of $36 inc shipping? Does it go on sale much? LendMeUrEars is where I've seen them...

Double post.

The only real competition I can see on the same price range will be the SoundMAGIC E10, and I'll say GR02 Bass edition sounds slightly better though they are pretty close to each other.

How about the build quality of the GR02 Bass Edition? Compared with my old CX300's... Also how to the M9's compare? I can get them for $15usd less than the GR02...

It is slightly better built than the old R02 Pro II (a.k.a. the regular GR02), and looks better than CX300 and M9. In fact, I'll say VSONIC has some of the most consistent good build quality in their products among all the Chinese IEM maker.

Having both the GR02 silver cable, extended bass, edition and the SM A151 its 51a close call, but the Vsonic  is more fun, better bass
and absolutely killer for electronic music.  the A151 is more accurate, has better treble extension and midrange clarity and better for acoustic
or classical music, and is of course a duel armature design, giving it more detail.  my go to pocket earphone is the vsonic, which delights me
for ipod music, internet radio stations like HBR1 out of Germany (killer psytrance) and the GR)2 improves the sound of those compressed signals.
if you can get both and enjoy for deifferent sources.  the new A161 has received from great reviews and MEelectronics is running specials on it
(see deal thread for earphones..) ...drbluenewmexico

could someone give feedback on how the GR02 sounds with rock/metal music? would very much appreciate it

I'm currently using the GR02 Bass Edition and listen to mainly heavy metal. I would say that they definitely make listening to metal fun. Despite the name, the bass does not overpower. Guitars sound meaty, solos OK.
 
Another good thing going for it is little to no sibilance. I get annoyed by it easily. That's the reason I abandoned the SP51s. The GR02 doesn't suffer this problem, so solos, cymbals and high shrieks don't hurt the ears
