Grado GR10 IEM measurements
« on: August 04, 2012, 04:06:30 AM »

When I put these on, I laughed because I felt they sounded like Grados.


I had a really hard time getting a good seal with these, so I didn't get much bass in real world use. The short flange things never work well for me. The screwy left and right channel mismatches are real. Anax forced me to do more measurements to make sure.

I might be getting a replacement set further down the line in search of the real GR10.  Hopefully not too soon....

Does Grado's effin' "signature" sound (i.e, from std line) hold for their IEMs ... like the effin' GR-10?

The left (blue) channel looks kind of like the Grado's we've come to . hate . somewhat dis-like.

Actually, there was much debate as to whether the Grado moving armatures were from the same supplier as the Ortofons from Japan but spec'd for Grado or from someone else.  Don't think it was settled.  Forget the name of Ortofon's supplier.

The only nice things I can say about these are that they're very detailed and have a unique airiness to them, but the highs are so erratic and piercing it's hard to really commend them for it; pretty much half my iPod was unlistenable.  I remember their bass being interesting.

Not just that (which is to say you're absolutely right) but their inherent speed coupled with prominent bass (in mine at least) actually yielded something worthwhile.  I said "interesting" instead of "good," though, because there was some strangeness to its texture I can't really describe.

Like, if I lived in some alternate universe where the S and T syllables don't exist I'd probably still use them from time to time just to experience that.
