I with Arvan on this. I could never really get the Havis to settle in nicely - no matter what tips I tried and I tried a lot of silicon tips as well as foam. VSD5 however, settle in nicely and stay in. I prefer their more energetic sound, as well.

How would you say the VSD5 and Titan 1's compares? Any input on differences and similarities would be highly appreciated.

 VSD5 has nice details but not as good as Titan-1, Titan is more reveling and instruments are sharper. Stage is not comparable as you know Titan-1 has an enormous stage. VSD5 is more balanced to be precise but Titan-1 is clearly clearer. Titan is more transparent to be precise, if you have Titan-1 and not looking for some more balance, you are good with Titan-1.

Thanks for the detailed comparison. I am planning to drive either of them with my DX90, I think it should do the trick.

So in terms of width and depth of sound stage, both of these give you a similar immersive 3D presentation? The VSD5 aren't so ugly that I wouldn't consider them for outside use. What sort of music do you listen to, and what sounds better through which IEM?

I listen to electronic and pop music most of the time. The VSD5s should suffice for all genres. The B3 wont do so well in electronic music as it does not have the bass punch. These two IEMs have a similar sound stage and presentation to them, but the B3s sound a little more open overall. That said I dont really prefer it that way. VSD5s are just more enjoyable for me

Cool dude.
 
Lots of great impressions on this thread. I guess I will have to compromise on the look of these. 

 

[nmatheis]

They look fine once they're in your ears. The B3 are fingerprint magnets, so if you're concerned about looks you'll be wiping them off all the time.

Is the GR07 classic edition still the best from Vsonic? If I were to upgrade from Vsonic VSD3S should I get the gr07 or the Vsd5?

 I think so, GR07 classic will be your best option but but it will lack that bass you were used to with VSD3.

Well, if you want more bass, just go with the GR07 Bass Edition.

Did anyone tape up the hole in the VSD5s? Its just beside the sound tube. I taped it up and tested for a while, sound isolation is much improved, its to the level of wearing earplugs. The bass after you tape it up, WOW. The quantity is increased by tons. Definitely a bass monster after you tape it up, the sibilance seems to be reduced too. Guys try this reversible mod and tell me what do you feel, or hear. Im just amazed. Had to turn down bass boost on my phone.

i tried this, and yes i can feel the sibilant slightly going down and bass powering up, can't say about sound isolation though, i was at home that time.

 Gonna test this mod for a while now and see if i like this sound in long run.

I think its because Im using foam tips so I am able to tell the difference. Ive saw you saying that you use sony hibrids. Maybe try foam tips?

 

[sponsor]

yes, i'd need to find those foamies now.

 

[nmatheis]

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't want more bass with VSD5. They already have another enhanced lower end as it is - especially with a good seal - but don't commit the sin of a massive mid-bass hump.

Have you tried poking a tiny hole in your tape to attenuate bass a bit?

 

[Spyrology]

I do find that bass boost wasnt necessary when the tape was on. But I would like the noise isolation. So I probably wont be liking the small hole in the tape. Also bass seems to be fuller with the tape on as well.
