Howdy,
I'm looking to upgrade from my current slightly modded V-Moda chrome rouge (not difficult according to various Head-fi comments!).
the V-Moda does sound very boomy and uncontrolled in a quiet environment, however I quite like the sound for using outdoors as the bass cuts through nicely.
I also use Sennheiser HD25-1 for DJ mixing / band rehearsal purposes. I do really enjoy the sound of them, although I'm not really prepared to use them outdoors (for reasons of security and vanity).
I've spent a few weeks on the various comparison threads, and having considered the Triple.Fi 10 and Atrio M5/MG7 (coming a close sencond at the moment) I've almost decided to go for the VSonic GR07. These are available from Frogbeats for £100 at present.
My concern is that having enjoyed the 'mid bass' sound sometimes attributed to both the V-Moda and HD-25, I will find a more neutral iem to sound flat or boring to my unrefined ears.
I listen to many genres, with a focus on full on/progressive psy trance, metal, dubstep, glitch and ambient idm. So I'm looking for an all rounder rather than a bass or mid centric iem - I'd rather have bass 'capable' for deep / big bass sounds as well as mid 'capable' for lush synths / vocals etc.
Can anyone confirm if a GR07 (or possibly the Atrio) would suit my tastes? Or should I maybe look elsewhere?I thought of asking on the GR07 appreciation thread but it's not very objective in there.
Thank you kindly
