Is the Yuin G2A worth the price? It doesn't seem to come up often, more people seem to choose the portapros / px100s over them. How about the G1A? Are there any better alternatives for the price?

Thanks in advance.

The G2A is pretty new (compared to the PortaPros/PX100s that is), which would explain why it isn't too popular. IMO there is no better overall on-ear portable headphones for $50 than the yuin G2A. They are easily worth the money.

Great. I really enjoy having a large soundstage though. Do the G2A's soundstage fair well against the portapros/px100?

 

[ljokerl]

Yes, it compares favorably. I am still in the middle of adding the G2A's to my review thread, but I have found that it nearly matches the PX100s (which I find to have a wider soundstage than the PortaPros).

Thanks for all your help! Just one last question - I'm planning to pair the G2A with a Sansa Clip. Would this be a good combination? I've heard of the impressive quality the Clip produces, although i'm a bit weary of it's power output. Should I get a different mp3 player / Fiio?

The G2A sounds just fine out of my Clip/Fuze. Imo the G2A benefits very little from amping (as opposed to the G1A). PX100s like being amped a lot more.

Yes, the G2A is a great earphone - simple great. While I hate the cable, for the price, there are few phones with good cables anyway. Build is decent, sound is good and for the price, certainly one of the best!

I'd have to agree with what the others have said. I don't regret spending the $50 on the G2A's. For clip ons, I think they sound pretty good. I end up using them quite a bit.

My Fuze and Clip power the G2A's fine.
