Geek Wold Discussion

I'm still in the burn-in process, and they also told me to burn-in for 100 hours. Additionally, I didn't like the pouch it came with; considering the price, I expected better accessories.

ahh i see... the accesories like pouch, and cover box, is very minimalist and simple for 550 usd. This is good input for geek world in the future..

but Thanks God, their give the great cable and eartips, and BEst Art Shell housing, for me. See the housing when meet sun light or lamp light, wow its can change gradient like shine different from every angle when we move or turn from the source of the light.

Geek Wold, their sell Pure Sound Quality of their IEM, and cable of this iem, is easy to eat iems above 1000 usd, like a joke , esp in term of technicallities

im very appriciate for their effort, make from 4 different types of drivers, hybrid.
but this isnot about only about the new technology, or quadbrid.. more than that its all about, SKILL. CAPABILITY. to implemantation, to make and reach the best potential from all drivers that their use.

so i'll very very appriciate, the Genius persons, or Team, behind the scenes, who creates, designs and builds all of this, so that it can create the best Sound Quality from finally being released to the public. I'm waiting for 3 months from March or April, I forget exactly... but I can be patient because I understand, they focus on the best for the best sound, housing and cables.

btw, the gk300 cable lighter, and seems a little easier to tangled than the stock cable gk200.

Geek Wold GK300 - after 3 days - short impression - FLAG SHIP IEM- TOTL - 550 USD.

MUSICALITY IN A MASTER OF TECHNICALITY.

Geek Wold GK300. After 3 days using, im very super excited... Never like this since 2019…

Sound Signature : W-shaped balanced, with tuning neutral to bright, energetic and analytical, without being cold.
Unlike other bright IEMs, GK300 avoids glare and sounding clinical or harsh.

Master for the busiest and most complex musics in your playlist songs.

Treble have outstanding detailed, so many micro details that I never heard before.
Great sense of treble airy and extension till upper treble, hi hats, cymbals, and all kinds of percussion sound crisp, sparkling, engaging.
Without any sibilance, grainy, and without into harsh territory. Never becomes sharp or piercing.
But still Well balance, not overly of each others.
Natural bright timbre treble, no have artficial, or plasticky, metallic timbre. Never heard annoying or messing sounds in high freq.

The midrange is forward and very revealing while the treble presents unlimited micro details and so many sound info.
Transparent, Clean, Resolving, and Very Detailed listening experience, without any shouty in female vocals. Sweet and intimacy.
Weight note male and female vocal is not thin. Not dry.
The articulation from male and female vocals clear in definition. Vocal have soul and life.
The forward of midrange giving a well balance between elevated on midbass area and elevated on treble area and make GK300 nice W-shape.

Drum kicks have good thump and punch, round, vibrant, precisely controlled without overwhelming the tonal balance, bass guitars have enough power and depth.
Excellent of speed and hit. Tight. Bass slightly neutral, excellent dynamics and lively, quiet deep, never distract me to enjoy mid and treble.
Punchiness mid bass give a slight enhancement of note weight with male vocals. Bass have well define and texture. Good controlled low end response, not bleed or bloated. Excellent separation bass guitar and kick drum.

Technicality :
Midrange and treble have superb clarity and resolution. Crazy insane fast transient speed.
Superb imaging accuration, separation, layering is outstanding quality.
Soundstage feels open and spacious and like have breath between all instruments, giving a good medium to quiet large sized soundstage, with a clear sense of air between each instruments in song. 3D holographic stage, wide, quite tall, excellent depth.
Give us grande expensive experience listening.

Not too heavy to drive, but better amp and dac, brings better escalation. Need burn in 100 hours. so I will be back with full review after 100 hours.

Price to performance ratio is very High value. best !!

Due for release in March, the GEEKWOLD GK300 uses 10BA+2PZT+8mmPlanar+8mm DD. 500 bucks afaik

Anyone tried these? …eventually compared with something known?
The architecture <> price combo makes them really attractive, but could not find any comprehensive review on them

My review of Geek Wold GK300 is up on headfi here:

https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/geek-wold-gk300.27377/reviews

Pros:
-Plain insane HD resolution
-Bright and analytical with coherent balance (non spiky nor too shouty)
-Sharply articulated macro and micro dynamic
-Infinite amount of micro details
-ultra fast and snappy attack
-fast textured mid bass
-forwards mids with edgy presence
-varied timbre texture
-intimate, immersive and holographic spatiality
-excellent imaging
-crisp without bass bleed or sub bass resonance
-wow effect guarantee for treble head and micro details addict
-captivatingly cerebral musicality
-big but light and comfy
-beautiful design with half transparent backplate (permit to see the big crossover)


Cons:
-not for treble sensitive
-sub bass roll off
-upper mids will be too intense for some
-percussions and micro details can stole the show of vocalist (distractive)
-slightly dry an thin mids
-mids presence seem compressed (instrument smaller than life)
-soundstage is’t very big
-not a lot of sparkle and brilliance (piezo is crunchy snappy)
-timbre has more texture than substance (dry)
-the cable is a downgrade from Hakugei one included with GK100
-construction design and quality (2pin connector with gap, fragile metal nozzle that can unglue)


The GK300 push the sound bundaries so far in term of macro layering, supreme resolution, crazy speedy attack control....going to single DD or more typical hybrid after hearing those is like listening to half sound info a track truely have. Sure, musicality is a mysterious and subjective thing, so here you must know what you buy, its no bassy, lush or relaxed balance, it's effortleslly analytical, super captivating so you can't be passive listener with those, only other IEM i find as intense in ''cerebral'' captivation is UM Mest MK3, but it use a wide range bone conduction unlike GK300...and it cost more than 2000$.

Their a trade of in refinement for the 1500$ different, but GK300 is still well balanced in it's bright W shape signature where upper mids to upper treble take the lead. It's less spiky and trebly than GK100 which have more piezo spicyness.

ALl in all, if these were priced 300-400$ they would have get a 5 stars from me but a well worthy 4 stars in this price range is very positive too.

Thanks for clarifying this. Gonna skip and save money. Too bad you don't have Gk200. Seems like Gk200 is even better than Gk300.

Which one is better in terms of pure resolution and clarity of details retrieval: Cantor or GK300?
