VSONIC VC02 Thread

[putente]

There's been some talk about this new VC02 model from VSONIC in other threads (mainly in the "GR08" thread), so I thought it would be a good idea to create a dedicated thread for these, as I'm sure they'll be the next big hit from VSONIC, at least until the "GR08" is released...
 
This is a mid range model for the VSONIC product line, and is supposed to take the place of various models at the same time, as least the GR04 and GR06.
 
They feature a 3mm micro dynamic driver and metal housing. They feature a detachable cable, but with a new kind of proprietary socket/plug from VSONIC (see first picture bellow).
 
Here are some specs I gathered so far:

1. Impedance: 24 ohms
2. Sensitivity: 105 dB
3. Frequency range: 10Hz ~ 20000Hz
4. Cable length: 1.3m

 
 
The VC02 was released today, but as usual with VSONIC, just to the chinese market: http://t.cn/zjvyQYd
The previous link has lots of pictures and some more info about the product...
 
The price as of now, for the chinese market is 238 YUAN, which is bellow the 40 USD / 30 EURO mark.
 
 

 
 
This is also supposed to be the first VSONIC model to feature their new online product authentication system.
 
So, Head-fiers in China, please take the change on these and do tell us how they sound! 

 
 
These can be found currently at eBay from chinese sellers at $41 delivered, and now at Lendmeurears webstore too!
 
 
I'll keep updating this post as more info and impresssions are available...

Hmm, I didn't know it was released today. I hope Mine will be shipped soon but as I ordered it from a taobao agent I doubt that I'll get it in less than 2 weeks.
 
edit: Other people who are interested can also buy it from a taobao agent like mistertao but I think that as soon as the new Lendmeurears site is up and running the vc02 will be there

I think there were pre-order deals already going on, but according to VSONIC they started shipping to sellers today...

Well, that means that vsonic is shipping it to sellers now, after that they'll have to ship it to the taobao agents and then to me, which makes it a long wait for me. I don't know if the price I paid is a preorder price  and whether Lendmeurears will be selling it at the same price around 40 bucks or more.

I can't help you much with those questions. Anyway, is good to know someone around here is due to get them soon. These seem to be another great product from VSONIC, like they been doing so far, and if these are supposed to replace the GR04 and GR06, they must sound very good for its price. You make sure to keep us posted about them...
