VSONIC GR07 - understated harmony
« on: June 14, 2011, 02:32:38 AM »
Teaser pics first!





Specifications:

Quote
Drivers: 11mm CCAW high dynamic transducer with multi-layers bio-cellulose diaphragm
Rated Impedance: 50Ω +/- 10%
Sensitivity: ≥105dB (@ 500Hz)
Frequency Response: 7Hz—30,000Hz
Distortion: <0.2% @ 105dB (20μpa)
Channel Imbalance: <1dB (@ 500Hz) / ≤1.5dB (@ 20Hz~12.5KHz)
Input: 10mW
Max. Input: 50mW
Stereo Plug: 3.5mm 8μ 24K Gold Plated
Cable: 1.30M Silver Cable

Initial impressions: My previous experiences with dynamic-driver based IEMs were wrought with compromise - some were too dark and bottom-heavy, others V-shaped with recessed midrange, spiky/piercing treble, and so on. This early I can say that this unassuming gem from VSONIC finally hits the spot that I'm looking for - no fatigue, no shouty parts of the spectrum, neutral yet incredibly textured and visceral midrange, and fairly deep sub-bass that stays unobtrusive.

They remind me of the Westone UM3X monitor-like sound signature and I daresay they sound very close to it - a testament to how much of a ridiculous value these are (they retail for around the $155-170 mark). Full review to follow once I've run them through a period of burn-in this week.

Yeah, we need a full review! I'm guessing the reason this is so popular on HeadFi is because it has the same qualities as the RE0 and the DBA02.

Sony hybrids fit best for me. Bro, wait until you reach 300 hours burn in, then amped it with a warmer bassier amp. It will blow you away!
