I haven't had gr02be, but had vc02 which is better. But ckn50 anyway is noticeably better than vc02. Only cable in gr02be is better.

Ckn50 is really comfy because of that earloop. They work with your music very well. Only cable has lots of microphonics, but when you listen music it isn't big deal. You can check some impressions on...

Definitely go for audio technica ckn50. They are awesome for $41.

I have had westone 2, they are inferior to tf10 and on same level as re400. And ckn70 is better than tf10. For $250 really good is tpeos h200. According to owners - on same level as cks1000.

Audio technica es700 for on ear and ws99 for over ear.

And cks1000 from amazon Japan with tenso shipping costs $155.

Se215 is avoidable at all costs. They have serious build quality issues and they don't sound really well. They was useless after few months. Audio technica ckn70 sound much better and they aren't bass heavy.

You are kidding? Re-400 for hip hop and so on? Price/performance wise best things are ckn50 and ckn70. I suggested cks1000 because your budget is $150. They isn't $100 better than cks99 or ckn70. For example ckn70 and cks99 match re-400 detail level, but they have great low end. Cks has more...

Simply buy audio technica cks1000, they are better than any iem you have listed including tf10 and maybe ue900. I myself have cks99 and they are noticeably better than tf10.

Who is that woodie? Esw9/10 or 11?

Really? There are plenty reviews of ckn50 on discovery thread and ckn50 and ckn70 thread. They are perfect to any genre you have listed.

Definitely go for audio technica ckn50- best iem under $50. Period.

OMG, ES700 now on Japan amazon cost 9,5k yen.

OMG, These now cost 9,5k on Japan amazon.

Nothing much. Ckn70 has better mids, bit more details and hardest mid-bass ever I have heard. And different soundstage. And ckn70 is better for smaller ears.

Better buy audio technica es700 for $150, they sound better than both esw9 and hd25. Hd25 are really uncomfortable. Es700 has better build than esw9.

Found prices for new sonic fuel series. Ckx9-9500yen, ckx7-7500, but ckx5-4500. Of course that prices will drop when they enter market. So expect ckx9 to cost between 5000-7000 yen.

I just found out too that they have released wm70 and ck323 too this year.

Why you need amp if you cans sound good? But if you really want good amp- buy Fiio e11 or e12.

Ckn50 is from last year. Cor and clr is USA only iems.

New ath-ckf77 glamour is already in preorder on Cdjapan for $35 shipped. Guys who are saying that audio technica is releasing too much stuff. It isn't true, they so far in this year have released only 6 models. Ckn70/cks55x/cks77x/ws33x/ws55x and next month ckf77. For really big manufacturer it...

Quality wise cks99 lows are better than cks77. 99 have glorious balss When needed.
