How is your GR07?? still haven't bought mine since I am still contemplating on what to buy haha

I like GR07 more actually. For almost the same clarity it has more bass which is tight and controlled but the noise isolation is not as good due to more shallow insertion. Price wise really not bad if you use lazada. Manage to get it down to about 105 dollars with codes.

- Your rig: iPhone 6s
- What type of usage - music (non-sports usage)
- File format used in your source - wave for lossless; not too sure, does Spotify premium highest quality use 256kbps aac?
- Genre of music you listen to - pop, and instrumental/orchestra (esp string instruments)
- Headphone / earphone type - IEMs
- Other requirements: wireless only if the sound quality is good
- Budget (in figures) - Up to $250

Some history: I've come from using Klipsch S4i, Westone 3, apple earpods, and currently Panasonic RP-TCM125-K which I find pretty awesome for the price (USD 15). Looking for a slight upgrade in terms of clarity and better reproduction of lows (think double bass and viola). Please advise. TIA!

If I had a choice to choose between 2 pin and mmcx, which should I choose? I'm considering a CIEM. Do let me know why you would choose one over the other. Thank you

Anyone saw this twitter user "exposing" that the Senfer DT2 Plus is actually only 1DD + 1BA + 1 fake BA? https://mobile.twitter.com/khodynt/media

- Your rig: AK240 & Fiio X7
- What type of usage - Music
- File format used in your source - Flac, Ape, DSD sometimes.
- Genre of music you listen to - Korean (SNSD), Mandarin (JJ Lin), English (Taylor Swift)
- Headphone / earphone type - IEMs
- Other requirements: Prefer MMCX connector, neutral or a little bright sounding.
- Budget (in figures) - ~$750

I'm actually looking at SE425 and SE535, but I'm unsure which one pairs better with my rig. I've read online and seems like SE425 is more of my type of IEM (neutral?). Correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe you'll be better off with campfire audio or other brands. IMHO, Shure isn't that value for money. Sadly, I'm not able to recommend any since I'm still new to the world of IEMs. I've tried campfire orion and I believe with 750, you might want to try out the Nova. Nova gives more details in the Mids due to its dual BA. Just my 2 cents
