Yes, the T1 is hardly an unknown quantity. Perhaps the thread should be updated to include "search for reviews before posting."

Haven't heard the eq5, always wanted too, but I can attest that the new eq8 is quite amazing. My favorite iem at the moment.


That's good! I felt the eq7 was step back due to the euphonic coloration.

In terms of hype, the Layla should be on the list.

My friend has the vsd3S and I can vouch for it sounding pretty good for a budget IEM. However, it does have QC issues with the detachable cable. My friend's stock cable started cutting out on him until one channel was completely dead. Then he got the upgraded silver cable, which worked well for a while before it started cutting out too. However, when he swapped the channels via the connectors, the cutting out stopped.

Why is this hype? This is just RTA right? I'm not sure Convolution/EQ/DSP is viable for review, especially since they offer a free trial that anyone can judge for themselves. I mean, if you don't like it, you either don't know how to use EQ or just don't like their presets. Seems like too many subjective variables and too easy to access for the general population to judge for themselves.

I kid, Anax - I'm one of the guys behind the project and there is no hype. Thought it might be interesting to some of the guys around here.

I really liked the eq5 and eq7 when I owned them, still consider them one of the better IEMs I've owned. They sound very similar with the eq5 being a bit more neutral, I liked the eq7 a tad bit more though because of its lusher presentation.

Been out of the IEM game for a while and it seems like there are some crazy offerings now so I can't say how they stack up to those. I get a headache trying to keep track of how many different IEMs there are now.. Seems like every week there's a new company offering 6 driver, 8 driver monsters with 3-way or 4-way crossovers, universal versions of custom IEMs.. seems like a mess with too much noise to sift through and deal with.

Hmm just noticed that the GR01 is on the list. It's good and is my daily driver IEM now. I've owned it for a few years and I haven't had the desire to upgrade (either that or my self-control has gotten a lot better). I wrote up a few thoughts on it on HF that I can dig up. In short, at its core it's neutral and fast, but still slightly on the warm side of the spectrum with a smooth and liquid presentation. In addition, I really like the fit and small size of it, maybe that's why I've kept it as long as I have.

Definitely gets a Cheers! from me  :)p5


Update: Here it is, a little dated with comparisons to the Audio-Technica CK10, Westone 4, SE535, SM3, and e-Q7.. but you can still understand what I'm trying to say: http://www.head-fi.org/t/591547/vsonic-gr01-info-impressions-appreciation-thread/60#post_8348379
