Thanks for reminding me about the Genus, they really are an interesting little IEM.

AlecR, the SteelSeries Flux are very capable for the money too, which I found to be really surprising given that they are marketed as gaming IEMs.

The Xaomi Pistons v3 are reviewing well but you need to get in quick before the fakes start flooding the market

Cookeh · 12 Apr 2015 at 17:15

Probably too late for that, thankfully most fakes are really easy to spot. Especially fake FiiO/VSonics.

If you do go for the VSonics, make sure you buy through lendmeurears - delivery is quick and they are the only licensed reseller for VSonic in the world, meaning no fakes.

good to know

What would the rock jaws be like for running and mountain biking, just about to order Shure se215. Does anyone have other alternatives? Can get the sennheiser ie60 for £109

What sound signature are you looking for? Plenty of good options in the £100 range - of which the SE215 is undoubtedly one of them. GR07 Classic or Bass Edition are both excellent considerations as well, and very highly regarded.

Slightly warmer than clinical, fit is the most important with running and biking as I don't want them falling out with moving around and my ears sweating

Cookeh · 14 Apr 2015 at 10:00

I'd consider the GR07 Classic then, VSonics always have excellent fit in my experience - especially if you run them over-ear and ensure you have the right tips (Shure Olives are sublime imo, but they supplied tips are very good as well). The supplied ear-guides might help you too, though I cant say for sure as they're always too big for my baby ears.

Which of this lot are the ones to get then? sub-50 preferably with ear guides for running / gym use

rids57 · 14 Apr 2015 at 16:47

Not so sure the SE215 is a good choice for exercise as the connection of the removable cable is a prime target for sweat damage.

VSonic VSD3S never leave my side. The SteelSeries Flux is an excellent choice too, though I prefer the VSD3S's.

Where can I get a set of Shure Olives?

Silly Goose On The Loose · 16 Apr 2015 at 10:26

Anyone?

rids57 · 17 Apr 2015 at 22:31

I can't find any either

Cookeh · 18 Apr 2015 at 07:17

The Shure 'Olives' have the model number PA910. If you google Shure PA910 you get a whole host of options in terms of size, type, number etc

earphonesolutions.com is an official Shure stockist and offers a 5 pack for $15 dollars.

rids57 · 18 Apr 2015 at 15:36

Yeah, I saw them at earphonesolutions Cookeh but the $25 shipping charge put me off

smsmasters · 18 Apr 2015 at 20:33

Are the cables detachable? How do these compare to the GR07?

For the VS3D-S? Yes they are. Compared to the GR07, they're a touch more on the warm side, slightly less clarity and detail retrieval, smaller soundstage. I'd say they're 66% of the GR07 Classics for 33% of the price

That being said, if I had the budget for the the GR07s, I would buy those instead (and also get them over the SE215s personally).
