I've discovered a way to tighten up VC02's cable hold to the driver so it won't fall off too easily. Just twist the driver a bit clockwise or counter clockwise and it will lock.
Purchased mine from bigbargainonline on eBay. Fast shipping, received them in 11 days.
Yeah that's the same seller that I linked as well.
Any chance someone knows how trance music sounds on these bad boys?

If you're going from the EPH-100 to the VC02, let me warn you that they have completely different sound signatures. The EPH-100, as you know, has that warm sound with big bass, while the VC02 is a lot more analytical and focused on the mids and highs. They're both great IEMs, but for completely different purposes/tastes...

I'm split at the moment between VC02 and ATH CKN70.
Well, I don't listen to trance, so I really can't say for sure... But judging from their performance with other electronic and dance music I occasionally listen to (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Justice or Daft Punk are some examples), the VC02 isn't my choice. It's not that they can't do it or suit someone's tastes for EDM, but I reckon these genres need more bass heavy IEMs to sound "right" (yo my ears, at least). Comparing them to the EPH-100, the VC02 just don't sound as good. If you're looking for budget IEM for that kind of music, I think you should look into the more bass heavy Sony MH1c (they're a lot more expensive nowadays, since the Head-Fi hype) or the T-PEOS D-200 series I'm currently reviewing. These D-200 actually strike a good balance between the VC02 and the MH1c. You should have a look at their dedicated thread...
I have no experience or even know about the CKN70, so I can't help you there.
Ok mate, well I've already had the MH1c. Jumped on the hype train when they had just been discovered, and I have to say I hated every minute of owning them. Absolutely unmanageable cable, the dynamics wouldnt even stay in my ears because of it. No matter which tips I tried.
I'm looking for a micro-driver specifically though, because I think BA and Dynamic drivers just dont sound as good with fast paced music like I listen to. Just cant quite keep up with the beats.
Hence why my Ortofon e-Q5s dont get that much use anymore. I only take them out very rarely.
Well, if it's speed you're after, go for the VC02! It's not a big investment either, so even you don't like them, I guess you can easily sell them here...
