Has anyone compared them to the gr99s yet?
Ordered 12/15 - still waiting on them.... was sent the tracking number - but nothing after Singapore processing. I am in Southern California - still have 5-6 more business days before I give lend me yur ears a shout out....
You guys shoulda bought from Big Bargins, looks like Lend Me has been having some problems lately??
What is the point of them having detachable cables?

i also dont see the point, because you cant buy the cable separately. our can the westone and custom style cables be used with it?
VC02 have arrived. They are incredibly small. Huge assortment (7 pairs of different rainbow colours and 4 pairs of black, black also includes double flange) of silicon tips too. As is usual for me, a set of medium sized oval silicons fit perfectly. Slight microphonics from the cable, but nothing excessive. Shirt clip for the cable also included, as is a carrying pouch.
On a flat EQ from a Clip Zip, initial impressions are a really tight, punchy bass, that extends well to reach for sub-bass. Quite an airy soundstage, slightly forward mids, but not in a bad way, and treble is quite well extended too, not sparkly, just a nice crisp sound for cymbals etc. very slight sibilance on female vocals, but nothing to be concerned about and that may well disappear with burn in.
One thing I would say, is that these are so tiny they will disappear well into your ear canal, and I have already pulled the removable cables off twice, getting them back out of my ears.
For the price these are, they are an astonishingly good buy. Way better than they have any right to be at this price. They are not even burned in yet, and for me, I will be hanging onto these. I would say they will be a match for IEM's that are two or even three times their price. I certainly have not heard anything at this price that is anywhere near as good. They are immediately musical too, you won't need to adjust to their sound as you do with the GR07 for example.
Good grief, they have just managed a bass rumble - how they do that with drivers this tiny is beyond me. Really nice bass delivery without swamping anything else.
At the price these are folks, I will just say you should all buy a pair. I can't see anyone being disappointed with them.
EDIT: These will take third party cables too. Tried my 'Dark Lord' cable that I use with my UE TF10 and a Westone style cable that I use with my Cosmic Ears HY3. Both fit.
