These just came in the mail....


Crazy amount of accessories...


GR06 :
Pleasantly musical, forward and balanced.
Slightly thick, veiled and sibilant.
Soundstage is about above average.
Will need a bit of burn in, otherwise they're wonderful as is.
At RM160 these can give the Sony XBAs a run for their money.

GR07 :
Very airy and somewhat balanced.
Laid back & neutral but still musical(not by a whole lot though).
Bass seems to be on the low side compared to GR06.
Highly sibilant with lots of shrills. Ear piercing SSsssss and TTtsssss.
Will need long burn in for this one. RM500+.

My new toy

Disclaimer, what I share is just based on my own perceived hearing and experience when compared to past IEMs I'm very familiar with. YMMV.

In point form;

- Soundstage and imaging that surpasses triple fi 10 and vsonic gr07

- Balanced and slightly U shape signature. But odd enough sound signature changes based on what music/quality you feed it.
Especially the mids. Sometimes its forward, sometimes recessed, sometimes just right.

- Sparkling and airy highs, might be a tad bit to bright or hot. More than 100 hours of burn in a must to fix that up.

- Accurate and smooth mids.

- Bass that is better than Sony XBA-4 and triple fi 10 but still not basshead IEM.

- Sounds as if I'm listening to BA iem even though this is dynamic.

- Black background, instruments and voices are spaced apart in a very interesting manner.
At first this may be weird or people might mistake the IEM to be muffled or veiled. Brain burn in needed.

More carbon nanotube goodness. JVC HA-S500-Z.

It is what JVC use to make their dynamic drivers.

As per wikipedia, "Carbon nanotubes are the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered in terms of tensile strength and elastic modulus respectively."

And for sound quality, well it depends on the person and what they like.
For myself, I am a believer. Comparing my Denon with this? The denons are totally dusted. Totally.

Just in today, the JVC HA-S400-R and HA-S500-B(my second pair of S500)

Just fresh from the postman.

Used denon d2000 direct from land of the rising sun.

Woot!

Might get a cheap used mdr-1r next.
