GR07: Way more polite than the FX700. I'd say the timbre is on par with the FX700, without that treble tilt, so it sounds more natural (to me at leas). Detailing is less aggressive, and the overall signature is more laidback, allowing me to listen for hours without a hint of fatigue. Dynamics on the GR07 are good, but not on the same level of the monster that is the FX700. So on about 10-15% of my library, I found myself longing for the edginess of the FX700. Keep in mind that the remaining 85-90% of my library was done better to my ears by the GR07. One of the things I love about this iem is that it lets me hear my music as it is. It's ever so slightly warm, without really coloring the music. That is not something I can say about the FX700. Not to say that the GR07 is boring; it's what I call a "lady in the street, but a freak in the bed." It's not a stripper with tattoos all over her body, but a girl with a little butterfly on her pelvis where you alone can see it. What my strange analogy implies is that the Gr07 is not an "always on" iem. It has no midbass hump, yet it can rumble your socks off it it needs to. It's still my favorite iem. The
 
 

 
 
That is the best analogy for the sound of an IEM,  just greatness

Anybody found a way to keep the cables in the ear guides, especially whilst in the pouch? I'm trying to think of alternatives to sticky tape!
 
Rubber shrink tubing would be good but probably won't fit over the jack or phones. Applying heat to the cable might be a no no as well I guess....

Mine stayed in the ear guides without issue.  I did decide not to use the guides at all though, once I found proper chin slider use makes the guides useless.  They are more comfortable like that too, imo.

I'd get a small hard case if I were you, maybe a Pelican 1010 or something. I just ordered a 1050 with customizable foam inserts to hold all of it - DAP and IEMs. It's not huge but it'll hold everything no problem.

I have used gaffer's tape, which is used in lighting and photography. The tape black, it is resistant to heat and it sticks well, with little to no residue when it's time to remove it. Expensive per roll. Although it's available in smaller rolls nowadays.

What JetEffect 3.0, BBE+ Settings do you guys use for the gr07?

 
I'm using the BBE ViVA 2 just love the bass with this preset. Sometimes I also use BBE with its clean, tamed highs and delicate presentation. Which preset are you using?

Mine has become a bit more pliable over time, and no, that is not what she said.

anybody tried listening to it with the first mesh removed?
it works quite like the 'veil' mod of many other cans. sound is more transparent this way. 
of course there's that risk of getting your earwax all over the second mesh that's on the other end of the tunnel. then again, i never saw any particles getting lodged on the first mesh so i think it'll be fine this way.

I get the same effect when I turn off crossfeed on rockbox - it actually sounds much cleaner to me this way, so I rarely turn it on. Does anybody else get this (I'm using an ipod video 5.5)?
