For anyone considering the GR07 vs any VSDx, get the GR. They generally sound better, but also more importantly last much longer (generally 8-12m+ consistently).

Looking for a great IEM with smaller nozzles (Comply 100 or 200) and not huge frame that can ideally be worn down. I would have already purchased soundmagic e80 if not for those restrictions.
 
So I'm considering upping my initial price range (to a strict $100) and going for the GR07 classic. 

Are they a big upgrade from, say, the Piston 3s? Klipsch X5,X7?
 
Anything else I should consider? 
 
Thanks

Totally agree with you, the GR07 Classic sounds way better than the VSDx

interesting model...considering picking up some of these to try out as they're on sale locally.
 
my first and only iems are the sony xba h1...would these sound quite a bit different?

Thinking of getting these, are there any audible differences between the MK2 and Classic edition?

Yeah is there anyone who have compared these two?

Classic is generally considered to be a bit smoother in the treble and a hair heavier in the bass, but still extremely close in overall sound. If you want to get the GR07 I believe Classic is a nice way to save a few bucks and give up some accessories but obtain essentially the same sound as MK2/MK1. Even the BE is not that different IMHO.

Ahh ok thanks for the answer.

How do they compare to fidue a71??

I just got my GR07 Classic edition in the mail, I find that they sound good overall besides the mid range.  I find the mid range to be too recessed, do you guys have any recommendations on how to eq these to bring out the optimal sound?  I have tried a various combinations of tips and can confirm that the foam ones included sound the worst. By the way, I am not sure how much burn-in will actually have an effect, from what I can tell this is usually a myth among most headphones. However, it does seem that many users recommend burn-in. Should I just use white noise around mid volume for the burn-in?

Astone, maybe you should go for the Shure SE535 instead...it's all mids and nothing else.

For EQ, I'd probably do a semi-narrow cut around 6Khz of maybe 2-3 dB. Then maybe a wide boost of around 2dB from 500hz - 3Khz. That might even out the spectrum a bit while still keeping the general proportions and timbre fairly intact.

Thanks man, I appreciate the advice. I've noticed some subtle differences after around 50 hours of burn-in. Mids seem to be getting a bit clearer and less muddy overall. Not sure if I'm just getting used to the sound of these as time goes on lol.

Lol, all mids you say.. I'm sure they have more than just mids. Also, that's pretty absurd to spend that much on IEMs. For that price I could get a sick pair of cans.
