Vsonic GR07 MKII
if not enough bass then Vsonic GR07 Bass edition

should be an easy transition from BA200 with both being similar in sound signature imo

Didn't like the GR07 sound... A bit off. Not sure if the MK2 is better.

treble less problems IMO

i actually like the GR07

What's the difference between the LE and the normal one? I read that I have to pre order? How long will it take?

Wider frequency range on the LE one, now in stocks no need pre-order

Dunno... The sound don't really 'gel' with me. Sounds not very natural.

I read an older thread on hwz comparing the ba200 to the se215 and a few were saying that the ba200 is better? Not sure if the LE will have much difference.. Any comments?

 

[TeamStereo]

It sounded pretty different for me but the BA200 is more smooth sounding overall if you ask me. Have to really test it out to see if suits your listening. =)

 

[Izumanyan]

Any chance you can explain what you mean by smooth sounding? Kind of a Noob at this...

- File format used in your source: mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: pop, r&b, alternative rock, etc.
- Headphone / earphone type: in ear

any recs? i am very basic, but of course if i can get a nicer and cleaner sounding ear piece than 20 bucks ones that would be great! currently using ajays 3 but it has kinda reached its end and i'd like to try new models.

thank you!

They feel well-controlled and have a good grasp of different instruments being played out together =) Its not fatiguing to listen to for long hours too.

This is really your call but it depends on which company you reshell with as well. Heir Audio 4.ai seems to be popular nowadays though.

I am going with UM if im going to reshell+ adding a driver.
Any idea how would that come out as and how is it as compared to the 4.ai in terms of sound signature?

Should try MkII , i really liked it compared to the old gr07 .

Sound is fuller and have overall better control, better extension of bass, cleaner treble
(Really hated the treble distortion on the old gr07).

It sounds more balanced while still warm sounding.
Really glad i rma-ed my set

Rockit Sounds R-50

if you find it too harsh UE400 (400vi if you need mic)

Hey guys, need your help on this one. My current pair of earphones just broke again after repair 2 weeks ago and I'm planning to get a new pair.

- Your rig: Iphone 4 and laptop
- What type of usage: Mainly music
- File format used in your source: mp3 mostly
- Genre of music you listen to: Almost everything, from English to Chinese to Japanese, Chillstep, instrumentals, pretty much most genres (that's why I'm mainly trying to find a more balanced sound signature)
- Headphone / earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements: not really
- Budget: around $200 and below

Btw, the pair I just had is the Fischer Consonance, and I've really grown to love its sound signature. Hopefully there's something that sounds as clear and has that extra bit of bass while being balanced.

Looking at the Sennheiser CX880, UE 400, JVC HA-FXT90 and Beyerdynamic DTX101ie among others. Don't know how well they fit the bill though. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!!!

 

[kaixax555]

think the FXT90 would be the best among the bunch

 

[fade_white]

- Your rig iphone, MacBook Air, windows 8 pc
- What type of usage mainly music, movies
- File format used in your source mp3 mostly
- Genre of music you listen to soft rock, Brit rock, pop rock, alternative, post rock, grunge
- Headphone / earphone type iem
- Other requirements (if any) Bluetooth, minimal bulk, simple design, minimilastic
- Budget less than 250?

Hi all I need a recommendation for a Bluetooth stereo headset that I can use to pair with multiple devices, my phone, laptop and desktop pc. Would love something like this design: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007MC6WGK , with decent audio quality (I'm not a fussy audiophile) main needs are lightweight, non-bulky, and ability to pair with different devices. Microphone is a plus but not necessary. Any recommendations? And where can I buy something like this? Many thanks!

I'm currently using Klipsh but cannot remember which model. Sorry I very noob at this but I really want a earpiece that produces good SQ with a more bass-y feel.

If you like bass, you need to try the Atrio.
