Greeting fellow gentlemen and woman. Here I have for you my final update:
The new set looks much better aesthetically then the last but as you can see in the final picture, their are still some mistakes. I would say it bothers me but I'm sure people will remind me how they are hand painted or what have you. The lows no longer sound as convoluted as before but I have to say I personally enjoy the presentation of both GR07's more here. Vocals still sound good to me, clear, this is the only section I could happily trade into my GR07's. I didn't hear any sibilance from my time with them but I do feel they miss some of the detail I find in my GR07 and really miss from my HFI 580's. Tip selection is not as magnificent as my 07's but I really like the stock ones already on the phones. Wile they fit well and didn't cause any pain when used normally, sleeping with them is not an option for me, placing my head on my pillow caused discomfort. I wish the tool to change the port setting wasn't bare metal, maybe a rubberized tip or something? The port could have a more user friendly adjustment, clicking into place. I didn't like the memory tube on the cable, it seems supple enough to not need it with the slider in my use. As a package, I once again prefer my GR07's.
ME2: what that guy said^
ME3: Point of inquiry, what do you mean exactly by not convoluted?
When I fist heard the ASG 2's, I didn't notice much of a problem with the lows, provably cuz of my song selection. When I hit a certain song, something sounded quite off. I wasn't sure how to describe what I was hearing but I used bloated, soft, ect... maybe because I wasn't hearing clear texture.
ME3: texture?
Rumble? Different bass tones following each other with clear definition between them? It sounded as if the notes were fighting with each other or what have you. Let me attempt to explain.
In the following pic, imagine every possible bass note is individually represented by each box/rectangle(blue). When one or more are playing, they have great definition or distinction from one note to the other(red).
Here is how I heard the first set:
Someone pointed out to me why I didn't immediately notice such a drastic sub bass fall. I tried listening to a song(which I posted here) that started with tones at what I believe is around 50Hz. I could clearly hear them so assumed it was something else.
ME3: So u don't find it bloated or soft anymore?
Well, with the ports completely closed, I find it quite nice tho I actually like the overall bass presentation of Gr07's, h200's, Spirit One, Amperior, and HFI 580's more just to name a few. The h200 seem quite clear in the lows, GR07's better balanced, ect...
ME3: What was wrong with the first set again?
I was actually waiting for a detailed throw down of what was wrong, if anything, with my first pair before I posted this update. The reply I received is that the drivers had a problem. What exactly was the problem, I don't know
ME3: What did they do to your set?
Replaced it. I was told they decided to build me a new set and placed my old one in a clear box labeled, and I quote, "don't send crap out like this". The fact it was a funny reply turned my
to
for a bit before it's low detail flipped it back 180...
ME3: What did you learn?
We suck at life.
ME2:
As you guys provably already know, both the G2's and 07's are currently out on a tour. Can't wait to hear everyone's opinion. Inks already chimed in!
