  Hi!
I would like to get a pair of IEMs, I will say max 150, such is best from these in the price range?
 
The shure se215, Gr06, gr07, etymotic HF5 or r-50
 
I would like them to be comfortable to wear for at least a couple of hours...
 
For reference, I had some grados Sr60i, while I like them, I think they make my ears hurt after a while of hearing them....
 
Thanks for any help :)

 
GR07 or TDK BA200 imo.

I'm currently thinking about Fischer Amps FA-4E and CK100pro. Two quite overlooked iems. But I'll read everything there is to be read and make up my mind. If anybody have any thought on them. Feel free to PM me.

 
Too bad Audio-Technica doesn't consider the USA a market for their BA earphones. 
 
  What are the differences between vsonic vsd1 and vsd1s. Im wondering because i have vsd1 right now and and dont really collect iems, so what will i get if i get a vsd1s? thank you.

 
They are very similar - no need to pick up the VSD1S if you already have a VSD1.
 
  Does anybody have experience with these original looking tips, which are made for Hifiman RE-400/600?

I have the third tips from the top on the left from my MEElec M11. They work well on a number of earphones. I also have the ones below them - don't remember from where. Might be Auvio tips from RadioShack. Never could get a good seal with those.

  Do you know which one is the most confortable of those?


Always depends on your ears but I can wear a GR07 for hours.

Ok thanks to both i see.
 
One more question, it is better to get lets say, the gr07 or the BA 200 that are more "high end" and use them just like that whitout amp, or its maybe better to get something like the gr06 or se215 or fxt90 and a fiio E11 amp? 
 
I'm not looking to listen at super hight volumes, i want them to be clear i think, listen to all the instrument and dont loose too much of the sounds that were recorded... 
 
Sorry for my english, some times i lack the vocabulary to get my thoughts to be understandable... 
 
EDIT: Sorry i forgot to mention, i would like them to last a while, im very careful with al my gear, but i dont want them to break cause where i live i have no warranty for any of them...

I can't speak for the BA-200 but the GR07 is pretty consistent between sources. There's no real need for an amp. VSonic build quality holds up well in my experience. 
 
  how's the Meelec A161P's bass compared to the HiFiman RE400?
and how do they compare overall...?
thank you..

 
The A161's bass is slightly more punchy/immediate while the RE-400 bass is a little softer but also more full-bodied. They are similar in bass quantity and overall sound but on the whole the RE-400 sounds a little more natural to me - the top end is more extended and not at all grainy and the softer note presentation works well. The RE-400 is also a little more spacious while the A161P isolates better. 
 
  Hello Joker,
 
How do you compare the bass quantity of JVC HA-FXT90 with the Yamaha EPH-100?
 
Best,
Sam

 
The EPH-100 has more bass, esp. deep bass. The FXT90 has a mid-bass hump but overall it's still not a very bassy earphone.

I'am looking for little upgrade from my Phonak's audeo pf112 . My budget is ~200$ . I need big soundstage, keep nice and clear sound (i had IE8 but didn't like them). I should look for brainwavz b2 or Sony XBA-3 or something else ?

Thanks a lot for the help.
 
I don't wan't to look like a troll, but each time that i get more aknowledge about the IEMs less i know which one I should buy :/
 
Beeing so far away of places where these things are reachable makes the decision pretty hard... If i could go and buy try and resell the IEMs it would be much much easier...
 
Thanks a lot again for the help, i'm still debating and should be making my mind in these days because the GR07 MKII are discounted and at 130...

    xba-3's sound stage is not big enough , every thing else is nice , bass is good , decay is acceptable , highs are nice , okay spark , mids are a bit washed off but still good enough , brainwavz b2 will do , may lack some rumble in bass region , but , man , they are fast , decay is good , i dont remember much about the sound stage . and a turn off for me is the j cable from xba-3 , they are okay , but a y cable would have been nice , like xba-30 . or grab a xba-h1 if you can , and tell us how you like it .

I listened to vsonic gr02be, vsonic vsd1, vsonic gr07BE, hifiman re-400, t-peos h-100, rock-it sound r-50, sony xba-3, sony xba-4, shure 215 and the biggest impression on me sony xba-3 I had goosebumps. There is a new model xba-30 but its hard to get it goes to the domestic market of Japan.
