Comparing the b3 pro I to the gr07 BE...

This is a great match up honestly.

If you've heard the gr07...The b3 is a tiny bit better in terms of balance (gr07 is slightly boosted in bass and sub bass and has crisper highs). The b3 is harder to drive and almost requires an amp to bring out their potential. IMHO Soundstage and micro details are an even match. As far as fit and ergonomics the havi is bigger but they both are worn the same. The gr07 BE is easier to get a custom fit and seal because of the movable hozzle angle. Build quality on the b3 is good but gr07 BE seems to be a little better cable.

If you own b3... If you love the havi b3 sound, wish it had a little more bass and sub bass, and wish it didn't require and amp, the gr07 BE is the answer. The gr07 BE doesn't need an amp to sound amazing. The gr07 BE has fantastic bass that doesn't drown out the mids whatsoever. The gr07 BE plays every genre of music fantastically well. The GR07BE has very crisp highs that can be sibilant depending on what you're listening to (it's accurate to a fault). The only advantage I would give the havi is that the treble detail and listenability is better than the gr07 BE.

They are both fantastic, but if price wasn't an issue I would pick gr07 BE.

PS the b3 (amped) has a better sound than the tenore or kc06 IMHO.

My top 10 that I own right now from my favorite sound down...

Sony h3
Gr07 BE
Dn-1000
Havi b3

Anyone know how much the VSD5 is priced at? Should I wait for the VSD5/VSD5S instead of getting VSD3S?

OP needs to update the front page with the info on prices and such so people stop asking the same questions every other post.

not really,,there will be a gr08 or something like that serving as gr07 successor

 
Wasn't that plan discontinued?

No, still on schedule for availability starting 4/1/2015!

GR08 - now THAT'S funny.... the $500 world beater that was going to leave the burned-out, wrecked shells of Shure, Westone, AKG, Sennheiser, etc.. in its wake....
 
Then a year later they release a $37 IEM with detachable cables...
 
I know some nice stuff is coming down the pike - but I'm not holding my breath. Although if I had, I'd have saved a nice chunk of coin

Neah, tenores doesn't have grainy highs. They are better extended and detailed than the vsd1s but they are smooth. Smooth is not equal to grainy. Yeah, they are not as bright because the flat character of the tenores sound but I think I'm very sensitive to sibilance and I find the highs on vsd1s very close to be too harsh for my ears.

As far as I'm concerned, you speaketh the truth.

Is the VSD3S possibly the best IEM you could get for $50? 

 

[mochill]

Different sound preference for different people so there is no such thing as best

we need to wait for more impressions,,,there has only been one so far.

 

[Shawn71]

Gents: what do you think? Will there be a price slash of other top tier vsonic models,gradually? After success reviews of vsd3/s............:tongue_smile:
