Just Arrived! VSonic VSD3S

SamyBoy13 said:
Okay thanks didnt even know that so I will purchase but need to think about colour. I hope they were solid colour. Also what is the diffrence between VSD3S and VSD3? Lastly would they be suitable for base heavy music (dubstep, rock some chart music)?

The VSD3-S has the better bass imo - see these comments:

Erm, tough one. S has slighty more bass presence and better bass response. Slightly warmer sound.

I personally prefer the S, it depends on what sound signature you're looking for.

Not from my experience :p VS3 has more forward vocals, so it sounds a bit more aggressive than the -S, as a result the bass doesn't stand out quite as much. It also made the VS3 sound a bit more 'artificial'

They would definitely be suitable for rock/dub, they're epic for that, as those are the kind of genres this sound signature lends itself to.

VSonic offers the VSD3/-S in solid colours and smoked colours, I personally have the smoked grey colour but it might as well be solid :)

Can you post some pictures of close up and far and how much see through are they?

Not the best pictures, but the only one I have to hand :)
 
Its artificial on the VSD3 to me. Not so much on the -S. I have read some reviews about sibilance but its not something I have noticed before and I listen to my fair share of electro-/furture-house.
 
I couldn't tell you - I've only had them for three and in that time VSonic have revised the model by adding more strain relief :p It will come down (mostly), as with all IEMs, to how you use them and how you look after them :)
 
I prefer them to the MA750, but then they have a different sound signature so that comes down to preference. I also prefer them as they are lighter and imo more aesthetically pleasing.

I have not heard the Rock Jaw Alfa Genus so Im afraid I cant comment.
 
The pictures are apparently of the old version (as are identical to mine), the cable has been amended since. You cannot get a silver detachable cable, the silver cable is only available on the non-detachable IEMs.

With regards to aftermarket, all the answers to that are on the previous page of this thread :)
 
Miles better. gjc rates them as better than the SHURE SE535, I rate them as the best IEM I've heard beneath £100 (the only one I've heard that's better is their bigger brother, the GR07) - but then Ive not explored that many options above £150 :)
 
5-10 days. Says so on their site and has been mentioned i this thread about 4 times now :p

Samy, if its not on lendmeurears then check Penon Audio, but be aware that VSonic will not honour warranty from any site other than lendmeurears.
 
Detachable was presenting issues, but VSonic claim to have amended this. Silver cable will, in theory and according to VSonic, improve detail slightly and better treble.
 
Nope :)

Mine run off my Sandisk Clip+ with no issues. They do improve under amping, but its not substantial enough to warrant -needing- an amp. Should you choose to amp them, something like the FiiO E06 would do the job perfectly (just be aware of fakes).
 
The old ones took 32GB as a max, the new ones take up to 128GB with no issues apparently.

I love mine. Tiny form factor, and perhaps the best sounding DAP under £100 :) Got enough juice to run most IEMs and most of more 'budget' non-power hungry portable headphones and battery life is pretty decent.

Are they £30 nowadays? Got mine about 5 years ago for something closer to half that... :eek:
 
FiiO X1 is superior, as one would expect given its price. In fact, for the money, the FiiO X1 is perhaps the best you'll get, alongside the Cowon range. I have no idea vs the Note 3, the only smart phone I've ever owned is the Galaxy S2 (so I'm slightly out of date)...
 
I haven't, no. Plenty folders in folders in my directory. You could always try rockboxing it if you can't solve the problem - RockBox. It's essentially a complete new firmware for your DAP with an improved UI, better file support etc :)
 
dhill, you're looking in all the right places :) VSD3-S from a E11K or E12 is massive overkill, just not necessary. X1 is an excellent DAP, as is the X3. If you get the X3 it actually has enough power to supply most headphones as well as IEMs - powerful little guys. X1 will easily power nearly all IEMs - definitely cope with the VSD3.
 
Honestly, if you're just pairing them with IEMs and dont plan on spending mega-bucks on the top-end IEMs out there, then no the extra £60 isn't worth it.

If, however, you might use the DAP with a good/power hungry pair of headphones as well as the IEMs, then the £60 outlay is a good idea as it means you dont have to purchase another amp down the line and it will ofc have a smaller form factor than a stacked X1+E11K.
 
Rids, I had no idea you owned the Havi 3s! Also, Ive finally finished exams (and uni :eek:), so drop me a message in trust if/when you want to start that IEM review thread - if its still something you'd be interested in.
