hey guys,which set of tips that came with the VC02 is more similar to those sony hybrids you all talk about?or may i guess i can find some of them on ebay.

The multi-colored tips are the hybrid type - they are similar to the Sony hybrids .... I like the tips that came with my VC02's - and they give you a whole bunch of them - I ended up with twice as many since my first pair of VC02's had a bad channel, I shipped back only the defective headphone and they sent me a new retail package with another set of tips....

Anyone else noticing that the drivers detach a bit too easily? The wire got caught on something while I was getting up and yanked the wire out leaving the detached right driver still stuck in my ear. Other than that, these are an awesome pair of earphones.

Some head-fiers have had issues with the drivers detaching easily. I've been lucky with my pair, no issues so far.

Mine actually has a rotating socket on the left side. Feels like any day it will just pull apart and I'll get to see the driver

Is there anything I could use to secure it? Superglue? Sugru?

oh yeh,i see.that's nice to know they are quite compatible,so i can ear for myself which is the better combo,especially sound-isolation-wise.
now is gonna be just a patience play ,about 30\45 days until the earphones comes to my home,haha.nice picture btw.

I bought an AKG K324p from Singapore. From shipping date, it took 13 days to arrive at Curitiba, and 6 more days to be delivered in Rio.

Oh mine arrived. So what are the best tips to use with the VC02? The black ones (double and single flange) or multi-coloured (Sony clones?)

Depends on your ear canal. I use the medium sized black silicone tips.
The colored hybrids aren't Sony clones at all. More narrow bore width; less length too.

Any apparent sound quality differences? I'm using the blue single flange for now.
 
First impressions are very positive! These definitely sound like a $100 set and nothing is recessed.

Verdict on the tips so far is I prefer the black ones (non multi-coloured). I think the multi-coloured, while enhancing bass to a pleasing effect, also reduces the treble presence/extension. I think the VC02 are treble tilted, so I don't want to take that away from them. I'll do more A/B though

The black double flange gives me a good, deep seal...

Hi guys. I just received my set after 5 days ordering from ebay seller - bigbargainseller.
 
Earpieces go in much more then my CX880i (would take a few days to get used  too) and seems likes my new earpiece is letting
me know about new instruments in my music. The bass for the CX880i muffles my music
too much.Also the VC02's volume is lower by a tad compared to the CX880i. 
 
Clean and good sound.
