You can trust that it's not. Dsnuts, ljokerl, and myself are of that opinion.

In my opinion i think it would be but then i really can not comment as i have never tried. I am guessing from that you have heard the EX600, what about the EX1000 and how did you hear the 600?

Tbo, I wouldn't trust ljokerl or you. But Dsnuts, really? I think I have to get my hands on a GR07 ASAP...

I had the EX600 for about a week, but I've never heard the EX1000. 
 
The 600 sounds very good, and the signature (neutral) is close to the GR07. Technicality is similar, but the GR07 has that extra oomph that gives it the 9.1 on joker's scale, vs the 9.0 that the 600 got. 
 
I'm still not convinced you got a good fit with the GR07 because of your bass comments, but I'll trust you if you believe you did.

I've been trying to convince you for months, but one mention of "Dsnuts" and you get excited? Gee, thanks James.

Oh okay, i was just curious of the surrounding as these do really need to be at home, if was in a store would not be as good, the GR07s are much more portable, what makes them such a good package. 
 
About my fit, i honestly got a perfect seal and i think i may have made a few errors on what i said, not what i heard but how i put it a cross but it was mainly due to what i was comparing them with being the Adagio IIIs and Hippo VBm, both kings of Sub-bass. Now i have compared more with the R-50 and some other BAs, well my sub-bass view of them has softened a bit in a favourable way. But i will not change review for that as part of reviewing a hearing earphones is what you have on hand at the time to compare.
 
Hmm yes, Joker does but the 600 and 1000 quite a bit apart with 9 to 9.4. WHat i can not get is his 8.9 rating of the Shure SE530 though. His opinion of course.

Well there's your problem. Compared to my ASG-1.2, the GR07 sounds like an Etymotic.
 
IMO, the 8.9 rating of the 530 is more or less correct. The midrange is pretty forward but it's a bit unrefined vs the EX600, and I heard a good bit of sibilance.
 
Sonny, I think you'd go crazy over the RE262

I would not say its a problem. I mean that's. It how my reviews go but you can not say that it does not influence reviews. Even jokers scores would be changed if he reviewed every again now. I mean a lot of score come before he had heard a custom etc. now his expectations are higher.

See I found the 530s greatly refined and not sibant just lacking a bit of bass. They sit in my top 3 iems with that being EX1000 > EQ-5 > SE 530. The shures had to go as we're uncomfortable.

Yeh I have nearly pulled trigger many times on them. I was once offered a pair for £50 and regret not taking it. I think I will wait until have a awesome portable amp first though as they are a but power hungry.

I still think the EX600 is a gem, an overlooked gem.

It always was the EX1000s that got ALL the attention, and some people, in my view, who got to try/purchase both Sonys exaggerated the sonic differences between both models. My view is that such exaggeration was the result of trying to justify the much higher price tag of the EX1000s. I personally found the EX600 to offer a good 90% of the EX1000's sonics --after doing a direct side-by-side comparison between both models at home in a quiet environment-- and even this 90% was not always that apparent, ie some of these differences were really quite subtle.

Then, of course, there was all the attention AND hype the Vsonic GR07s were getting around the time people started talking about the EX600s.

The EX600s could be had for 'as little' as $125 USD for a while. I guess many people could simply not accept/believe that a $125-$150 IEM could sound that good, and that you had to pay $300-$500 to get excellent, top-tier type SQ -- this is not surprising in a forum where it's often VERY hard to get unbiased views and, unfortunately, it keeps getting increasingly harder.

what you have to say about them music really intrigues me as i have the Ex1000 and i would say that if the GR07 was changed slightly more to the same sound as the EX1000 it would be only 75% at the very best in technical terms in my opinion. I can see the EX600 being a lot better than the GR07 so would love to try them just to check.

wellI I have owned the GR07? and also have the EX600s & 1000s, the 600 blew the GR07 out of the water, and the sound diference between the 600s & 100s is marginal!
 
so music_4321 has it right on the money!

In what way, exactly?
 
I ask because I extensively A/B'ed both to find which was better. I only concluded the GR07 was better because of how it handled drums, and it's driver speed.

 

[ANDEROAN]

in the way that I REALLT REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY liked the fuller more dynamic more bass filled more fun more toe taping sound of the 600s REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY more than the GR07? go figure, and thank you VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY much for asking!

 

[BobJS]

I had the EX600 and EX1000 at the same time.  While I cannot fault anyone for choosing the EX600 (it most certainly is the better bang for the buck), for me, the difference was worth the extra expenditure, so I sold the EX600.
 
While I love my EX1000, and do believe it is simply in another league beyond the GR07, I simply love my GR07s for listening in bed (the odd shape of the Sonys makes it difficult for me to fall asleep with them) and for those times where I want the extra isolation.
 

 

[Inks]

Basically, the EX1000 has a tad more subbass, small increment. The bigger difference is in the treble, the EX1000's is more forward and revealing, the EX600's is a bit more laid back.

You might and well just get a EX1000 then. All of that but better

hard to say, I think the amount of treble from EX600 is just fine, I don't think i'd want anymore forward treble or bass. 
I'm actually a mids person, but somehow I love the EX600 so much haha

Again I'm sorry for bringing up a slightly older thread again, but I'm in the position where I can get either the MDR-EX600 or the MDR-7550 for pretty much the exact same price. Does anyone have opinions on this for me? I come from the EX300 right now. One thing I'm sort of afraid of is the lack of the huge set of tips with the MDR-7550.

You can always pick up a pack of tips for cheaper but it is not necessary. The EX-7550 are higher in the Sony line of products but are meant to have a different sig to the 600 and the 1k which i can not comment on having just heard the 1k. You want my opinion, pay the extra and pick some 1ks up for $300!
