well the gr07 is actually rather on my list to get.... I really did enjoy the asg-1 soundstage, the asg-1 was kind of to dark for my taste, and painful. Other than that... If I could get the asg-1 in a package like the gr07... you better believe I would get it. the gr07 was nice... And I would consider it again.
I currently have an IE8 on loan. Vocals are more recessed than the GR07 and I'd say overall the GR07 is just a little better technically, BUT the IE8 (and I assume IE80 now) has a larger soundstage in all directions, has bass more like the ASG-1 in its midbass focus which makes it also darker than the GR07, and is actually, to me, even more comfortable. If I had to switch the GR07 for the IE8/IE80, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
