Man that X3 thread is rough. Lol.
 
Tis a damn $200 Player that plays 24 bit lossless and drives your cans like a boss.Minor quibles aside I am enjoying the player for what it was intended for. It is unfortunate we have so many OCDs around these parts

Same thing happened with the DX100 but that's 3X's the price so those quibbles were warranted I think.  But I agree with you, it's intended for good sound and that's what I'm after.

The X3s were amazing when I had a listen from a demo model. Glad you're enjoying them. Warmth is something I have always appreciated, so Fiio's house sound has always been very closed to my heart(or ears)

Don't mean to brag but my ears have been plugged with the 1Plus2, Senn. IE800 and the Flat 4 SUI for the past 1-3 weeks so take my impressions with a grain of salt on my first day impressions of the M200.  I don't wanna say it has more bass than the RE400 but more sub-bass.  Not as punchy but still remains well controlled.  I find the 1k and S2 to be quite refined sounding consumer grade earphones.  Same would be said for the M200 but of course with a different sound.  I, like you, prefer all different kinds of sounds so many of these earphones suit my taste.  Some more than others.  RE400's are damn good and I'm one of biggest fans of Hifiman's.  But, I dig the 1K, S2 and so far, the M200 more.  Anyone who enjoys the 1K, S2 will appreciate the M200 is the general line I'm after.  

 
 
Well since you mentioned them, why not comment on those three too. The best thing since slice bread? Blows out of the water all things costing less than $800?

Since I'm so freakin' impressed with the M200's right now and those 3 are sitting in the same room and I have to ship them out Thursday should tell you something.
 
Since you asked though, I'll have to say the 1P2 is the most detailed earphone I've ever heard.  It's amazeballs.  
I can't believe the sound that comes out of a 7mm dynamic in the IE800, it just blows me away.
Voices and acoustic instruments sound so real in the Flat 4 SUI.  
 
If I could own them all, I would without hesitation but I'm very happy with MY M200.

Sorry guys but the M200's are the real deal.  Ban me if my hype isn't real after a listen.  These things are unbelievable.  Can't wait for eric and dweaver to get their pair to back me…hopefully.
