Opps. Wrong thread
How does GR02 stand against AH-C360?
Hah - Murphy's Law: the AH-C360 was my first IEM on that list, and as a result the one I've listened to the least in the past year, as I've been busy acquiring new monitors/phones to experience, so much so that I've lent it to my girlfriend who could not find it when I was at her place yesterday.
In addition, the pair I bought my brother for his birthday a couple of years back is with my brother out of town until this weekend, while he visits our parents.
So I cannot A/B them until the weekend, and I haven't listened to them recently enough to be able to even give a band-aid response, aside from this:
The first reason I stopped listening to my AH-C360 as much was because I bought the AH C560. I like my AH C560 very much, and I always keep reaching for them before all of my other IEMs. This is to be expected, somewhat, as the C560 is also the most expensive IEM that I own ($130 CAD when I bought them 2/3 years ago or so), while the AH-C360 was $60 CAD when I bought the pair for my brother around the same time (I had owned my pair of C360s for probably two years before that. It was a gift, but I can only assume retailed around the same price back then, still).
The GR02 holds its own completely beside my AH C560, and I paid $37 CAD shipped on eBay around 3 weeks ago.
This is a terrific monitor, and it is very similar in sound to both of the Denons I own (that strong, full, forward bass), at a fraction of the cost.
I will A/B this weekend, but I hope that this answers your question in the meantime.
Thanks man! Just bought an apartment so even the GR02 is expensive now... but will probably buy them with the next paycheck.
So would the GR02 BE be a step up from the Soundmagic E10? Also, Amazon has a GR02 Pro Silver Cord version. How does this compare to the GR02 BE (I believe they are different)? Sorry if this has been hashed out somewhere else. Thanks.
Greetings, after reading through this thread (and several others), I'm interesting in purchasing the VSonic GR02 Bass Edition. However, I'm still deciding where will be the best place to get it. A few people asked this, but just to clarify, are the one from Amazon NOT the VSonic GR02 Bass Edition? Which model is it anyway? [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EM9KRI]
I've narrowed it down to these three, from which one is the best dealer?

Based on what the others have posted, I'm thinking about getting it from lendmeurears on ebay, although OP got it from big bargainonline. The prices are identical as the BBO adds the shipping cost, and the other two are $36 fixed with free shipping. Thoughts?
Anyone here check out the R02 silver editions yet? Wondering if there are any opinions besides the big IEM shootout thread.
