  The fit of the GR07 did just not fit well for me. How comfortable are the VC1000s though? Can  you easily wear them for hours without any issues?

 
Definitely. The only slight discomfort for me is that there is a thin little line around the ear tip that can get a little uncomfortable. But you can find after market tips. But worn straight down, they are among the most comfortable of iems I've tried. Not deep insertion and very light.

Why have they stopped making this model?

I just received mine from bigbargainonline on ebay for $119 last Wednesday to replace my lost TBA04.  They may be discontinued but you can still find them

Does VC 1000 sound (vocal) same as Gr 01 (difference only in changebale filters)?

No, they're tuned differently.

Save yourself a headache and get VC1000, myself and others found GR01 riddled with vocal sibilance.

Yes, I second this.
 
VC1000 IMHO is one of the most underrated IEM

And what about vocal in VC 1000? Does the words in songs clear and understandable? Instrument separation? Soundstage?
I find Iem for vocal, instrumental and acoustic music.

Yep, VC1000 would be excellent for those types

I need to clean my VC1000s but have little idea how to do it. Anyone managed to take them apart?

If you can avoid removing the meshing that is recommended, meaning don't try and remove that little clip holding the meshing in.

What I do is use a Q-tip (those cotton buds you clean your ears with) dip it in some methylated spirits and clean the grills / meshing.

Well, it's been a huge headache trying to get the VC1000's to be repaired.  I shipped them back to bigbargainonline, but after a couple of months they have still not received the defective pair. Unfortunately bigbargainonline told me through email that sending them second-class USPS airmail to Hong-Kong would be the cheapest way. This means though that I lost tracking capabilities by the USPS once they left US customs. I've spent hours on the phone with multiple USPS representatives, but they are claiming there is absolutely nothing they can do since the package is showing it left customs at the end of July.
 
I absolutely loved my VC1000's but what good is the 1 year warranty if it's impossible to use?  Also, it's possible that I had a random lemon (faulty) IEM, but I've only ever used them sitting at my desk at work... so there was never any really hardship on earpiece that stopped working.
 
I guess at this point I give up and will just use my X10's until I'm ready for a new IEM.

LMUE is still selling those and they have new colors,

Has anyone compared these to audio technica's dual ba iem, im02? I'm pretty set on getting those unless these vc1000 are comparable/an upgrade from my havis (love the havis but not the driver housing shape >.<).

Hi guys, there is a sound quality difference between the VC1000 and the Vsonic GR01 ? They have the same drivers... Thanks
