Got my M200's in today. Super fast shipping.
 
These would be one of, if not my new favorite set, if they weren't such a b*st*rd to keep in your ear. I need to try different tips or something. The weird thing is, my left ear is perfect, but my right ear driver always slips out. What a pain.
 
They were "B-Stock" too, but they look flawless.

Mine came today too, also marked "B-Stock", but I don't find anything wrong either. Hooked up to ipod for burning, haven't listened yet. Still have a bit of Cybermonday fever-Heir Audio has decent prices on their universals (wouldn't know which to buy, though), HE-400 and 500 are still on sale (supposed to end today). Should just settle down and listen to what I have got, which is a whole lottta stuff...
Do like those rbh iem's, getting a bit used to shallow fit (need Comply TSX large to make it work).
OK, stuff to do, later...

Oh and congrats on the TH900, Danny...look beautiful, curious what you think when you get them (sure they'll be great)!

 

[doctorjazz]

Anyone have any experience with any of the above deal headphones? The Heir seems appealing, though they have quite a few models of universals.

Another Congrats to Danny on the TH-900; those things are beautiful.

I'm with you Danny, trying to quit this hobby too! It's causing me a lot of stress in a weird way lol

Thank you fellas. I think it's this thread that has me spending and spending to satisfy my curiosity on sound. I've spent so much on gear that I really need to slow down. I don't believe that the most expensive stuff really is better than low to mid-tier gears but I've had enough experience now with the low to mid-tier gears that I have decided to go all out with a few high end gears to stop spending and enjoy the few things I've decided to keep. Time has come that I want to just listen and enjoy a handful of equipment instead of having so many that most just sit there and collect dust. For me, I'll save more money by spending for the TH900 then grabbing the next more affordable gears that come out all too often these days. It sure is fun though and the people on this thread are the best on head-fi and it all starts with the thread starter Dsnuts who sets the tone and welcomes all to share their impressions without any judgement. It's been a great 2013 with such awesome sounding stuff at good prices so let's hope 2014 outdoes 2014 and so on. Happy listening dudes!

Goodluck with that.

Haha H20, well I'm almost at end-game with my desktop setup
HE-500 and Mad Dog 3.2
Now I'll probably go all out for my portable rig and call it quits

Yeah, the squealing of the wallet can have that affect after a while lol!

Awesome Danny! But I feel that I should help you with your disillusionment. So out of the goodness of my heart, I offer to trade your gear for mine. I know I know... you can thank me later - that's what friends are for
 

 

[DannyBai]

I'll just thank you in advance Wayne.

Nah, going all out will only kill your wallet faster - it doesn't guarantee that you'll get what you're looking for just and stop spending more money on this sickness hobby. I have to admit though that for a second I was also tempted to go all out the other day because of the sweet deals but my willpower prevailed - self-control is the only way to keep you wallet full.

Luckily most of my $400> purchases I've been able to try before buying, either by demo or loan. I consider $300> purchases without hearing a product a recipe for suicide because I've heard some real shockers, even to the point questioning if they were faulty. Heir 3Ai was one of them the original ASG-1 V1.2 another. Luckily they were only demos. if however I paid full price for either putting in my ears I'd be absolutely gutted.

That's the beauty of mid-tier, (and this thread) you can try products (some very capable) without feeling like someone just sliced your testicles off if it doesn't work out. 

 I think my expectations are rather high though, I bought a pair of Beyer DT1350 which arrived today which haven't won me over yet, although the Beyers are decent, there's some real crappy over priced gear out there.
