    Simgot EN700 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the insight. Really hope to see a smoother and better treble extension in the next version. Still being priced at abt 110, it really punches beyond its own weight.

    Simgot EN700 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Folks, thanks for the insight. The high rolled off quite a bit early and also the treble sounded a bit unnatural for the original version. What's your thought on this for the newer version?

    Thanks for the insightful review. I have the original version and I think I will stay clear for now.

    Thanks for the detail review. The biggest flaw to me in the original version was its treble. I found it less faithful to what it suppose to represent and also, it rolled too early and steeply. Although you did mention they have since corrected this, I didn't get the sense that the improvement...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    A decent DAC would certainly make a difference though to me, it is not night and day. Most importantly is amplification. Luckily, for Vsonic GR07 series, it is not difficult to drive. Therefore, like what others said here, your smartphone should be good enough. Also, what is your listening...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    I have been using it for a couple of months and there is no sign of wear and tear. The unit that I demoed was constantly being abused but still in good shape when I tried in the shop back then. So I don't know where you got that crazy idea. In any case, I can live with the chrome coming off or...

    BE mid bass is definitely fuller than P1 but what P1 did better was in its detail and extension. Music with 30hz and below information is more prominently felt in P1 than in BE. I would think GR07 X would fair almost the same as P1. But in jazz pieces, BE is quite a delight.

    I used ibasso DX90 and mainly Jazz tracks from various artists. For bass track, I usually stick to Pink Floyd's DSOTM. Just like you, I never believe in burning in for IEM, speakers and even cables. None of these are scientifically proven. The reason people felt the improvement over time is...

    I don't own a PFE 112 but I owned both GR07 BE and also Mee's P1. In terms of sound P1 beats BE in all department. It extends further in both the low and high regions. The mid bass boost for BE makes the music a bit fuller but taste wise it is really subjective. I did try GR07 X briefly and find...

    A good move by vsonic. Cable relief as I said many times was their major weakness. This will definitely make GR07 more sustainable in the long run. Can't wait to get my hands on the new BE.

    CE, BE and X are all the same. Poorly designed cable relief system. This is the main reason why I am staying away from X. My BE gave way in less than 1.5 years. I am not going to pay an extra 100 over bucks (Singapore dollars) for just marginal improvement in sound quality but knowing they will...

    Thanks to Airlight, I bought a few pairs of spinfit tips to try out. On my mee audio P1, I am pleased to confirm it provided a slight improvement in sub bass region. There seems to be more punch and control. The greatest improvement is the comfort. When I tested it on my GR07 BE, I am sorry to...

    You are right since the measurements may not take into the account the time domain information such as the decay of the notes. This is a good point which I cannot dispute and we will never know unless with proper measurement. However, in my opinion, other then the drivers used, the second big...

    The fact is every ear canal is different. Even for me, my right ear is more tolerant to brightness than my left. Therefore, I respect what you perceived to hear. The tests in the article that I posted up are done in a consistently controlled environment which I suspect would provide a right seal...

    I agree with your logic. There are just too many snake oil in this industry. As for tips selection, based on the measurements in this article, the effects didn't seem to be quite noticeable unless you are using a triple flange which due to its length and funnel effect, may increase certain...

    I agree with your statement that EN700 just fell short in the Pro category. However, for the price and the accessories (the semi hard case) that came with, I think it is definitely worth my time and investment. I did a comparison with Vsonic GR07 BE and also Mee's P1 and found EN700 mids beats...

    I have heard other reviewers saying there is more sub bass presence but to me, it is almost the same with the GR07 BE version. I used track 1 from DSOTM as a reference to test for sub bass because there were quite a fair bit of 30hz information in that track. Unfortunately, there wasn't much...

    This is exactly why I stayed away from GR07x because other than the marginal change in sound signature, the cable, which is the weakest link in the whole construction, is the first to fail. And we are expected to pay almost 2x more than a typical GR07 classic or BE. This is the reason why I...

    In my opinion, I like the BE better because of its elevated mid bass presence. I did an audition for GR07x side by side with my BE and found that the X is slightly on the neutral side with a slight improvement on the highs, smoother i guess. People tend to claim that GR07 series are plagued with...
