I received clear ones last week - as i intended to convert either the black or transparent pair with a balanced jack. If you noticed most orders were for black - thus there was no direct comparison between the two.
I too assumed they'd be exactly the same - however if i had to keep one i'd opt for clear. I'm switching between the two now....and there's a noticeable improvement in resolution/sound-stage/sparkle & "air" in the clear version.
The cable also feels of better quality softer feel and less tangly.....maybe sometimes it pays to try the alternative version. Logic would say that the metal grille of the black version is better - whereas the clear versions white plastic grille seems cheap & off-putting - like an apple bud. The proof is in the sound signature - the black just sound a bit muffled to me (hence i'll convert those to balanced) & the clear are fine in tact with SE output....hope that helps!

No it doesn't help at all. You've just made life more complicated for me. Now I'll have to order the clear ones I guess, but maybe I'll wonder whether you were actually right once I get them and then I'll have to order the black ones too and compare them myself.

How are they from a bassy perspective?

Sorry dude! lol - however in hindsight I certainly wish someone had reviewed both versions before I bought them!!.....After hearing the clear, I stopped listening to black...maybe i'll sell them or convert them not decided yet....

I think I'll go for the clear now - glad I read your post before I ordered.

They have rather good bass, very clear as well, love them

No worries!...it's all subjective I guess....I was initially put off by the white grille (like everyone else who bought black.) - I guess it shows how much variation there is in QC - transparent are a clear winner in quality & sound.....

If these are the same, they're about $8 cheaper:

But I'm not sure if they are...

I'm guessing the grille is the only difference between the versions and if your black version has the same grille as the clear version it should sound the same.

It's still weird to have two different variations of grille though...

Yeah I wouldn't bank on them being the same. Could be a different driver. Nicehck version gets full 5 stars for a reason I'd assume. The others all have slightly lower ratings, although take from that what you will, anyone can give a poor rating for a contrary reason lol

Maybe that is why I posted some of the early praise for the graphene bud. I definitely purchased clear, because I figured the casing does have an effect on the sound of the bud. Given that this earbud is known for being adequately bassy, I opted for the pretty clear shells for a more balanced sound.

But even then, this is one of the only earbuds where a midrange EQ boost is appreciated, along with my usual bass EQ. I'm definitely loving this earbud with the slightly warm/smooth cayin n3 to round out this earbuds v shape. My main complaints about this bud vs k's 300 pro (another good bud) would simply be the imaging, or separation in complicated parts of music (attack definitely goes to graphenes). Everything else like comfort, looks, and overall sound is there for graphenes.

Also, I'm finding that the graphenes are probably the only earbuds where I actually like the cheap full foams, even over a monk foam. The monk foams are slightly more detailed for sure, but the bass difference is pretty dramatic between the two foams. If only monk foams werent so fragile and expensive for the amount of foams you get. I'm wondering if hiegi full foams would be my preferred foam for graphenes

Are they very v-shaped?

I use the donut foams on my graphenes

I have those as well. This is the link:

But, mine (as well as the ones in the above link) have the metal grilles.

I'm not yet quite buying into the "clear graphines with plastic grille sound better than the black graphines with metal grille", but who knows. All I really know is that my black ones (with metal grille) sound excellent. So if the clear ones sound better, then you with the clear graphines are doing all right!

edit: but it is strange that they have different grilles, so yeah, maybe they do sound different.

Me too. Really like them on the graphenes.
