The GR8 were nice but not "complete". After them, I switched to the MC5 and found them just as good, really very very similar, but still "incomplete". Neither were extended and impactful/dynamic enough for some music - electronic, etc. They were ok with acoustic and vocals. The MTPC offers that plus the full range - where nothing is lacking, dynamics are great, sound is cohesive, resolution and clarity is awesome, bass is tight and deep (not as deep and powerful as the MD but still very good). Ergonomics are terrible. Most everybody agrees Westone and Sennheiser have the best cables. Westone UM series and Sennheiser IE are the most comfortable also. Straight down is not too bad if the cable is good and the fit is tight enough. The Shure Olive tips (moded - decored and then fitted with Monster SuperTips core), offer a pretty descent fit.
If the GR10 has managed to be "complete" then they may be worthwhile - a significantly better extension and impact - similar to the MTPC/MD. Just don't know as I haven't tried them.
