^ Oh there are ALWAYS weaknesses, cuz THIS IS HEAD-FI!!!
ikr, that's my personal limit for cans and iems cuz i just can't justify paying THAT much due to my ****ty sources and the music i listen to. : P
^ Great stuff meng, but dat part has me craving for some fried CHICKEN boi!!!

Like i said X2, THIS IS HEAD-FI!!!
LoL i am not worthy of dat Masa' title i am just lowly Alfred. Masa' WAYNE would have my head if i get all uppity.
Yeah for some reason the VSonic gr07 is more expensive in China than what international resalers are selling them for. If you do go for the MKII, the newly released "Classic" edition for like $100 might sound the same but there still no solid answer on it yet. So the gr07 BE (Bass Edition) is more "worth" it if you do decide to get them since i am not sure if VSonic will make anymore of them due to it being discontinued just as the MKIIs are cuz the "Classic" version is replacing them both.

But yeah it is best to do more research and know what type of sound signature goes best with the music you listen to the most, and that is why this Discovery Thread was such an invaluable resource for noobs like me cuz trying all those cheapo hyped gears taught me a great deal. I can only imagine more seasoned vets laughing at us cheapo peons with our hyped FOTM gears but it REALLY helped me to grasp what i am looking for. Plus it's crazy fun hopping on the hype train no doubt about that. haha
Before, we did follow the hype of the ckm77s, the cks77s, mostly audio technica stuff, then it evolved into other brands that we do not know of, like the monoprice, thermaltake, and the phillips.
I still remember how people were pretty happy with the quality from the brands given on the thread, and the budget friendly iems in these branches, good thing DS kept all that history on the first page. Now here we are, knowing exactly what the old hyped budget iems did for us back then, and what the new unknown budget iems can do for us now. While it is great to find out that the pistons are awesome, I do not believe it'll be better than the kefs, but I know that it won't be that much worse than the kefs, and that is completely fine. I want massive bass with the smoothest mids and highs in one package, and they delivered, the pistons may have a simliar sound sig, but they are still somewhat different. That is why my brief comparison required people to do their research, as the most expensive iem (the ck10s) may not be that much better than say the im-02s, or the xba-h3s for example. If I had to put a budget iem that could compete with the m200s, I would put the bassos. However, the bassos are not better than the m200s, nor vice versa.
I think they do deserve to be in the $300, but it'd be pretty nice if they were $250 in their msrp. Then the deflation would have been great to see them fall to $180 so we can pay $200 for shipping.
I wholeheartedly agree with everyone's inputs, and especially the last paragraph from yours sf. This is turning out to be a lively discussion from everyone, hope it stays healthy like it is!
Each iem has a unique sound, which is basically what us men and women are looking for our ears. Our ears require some love and affection, just like we do during relationships. Find that girl or guy that is one in a million, and go crazy!
And LOL to that comment about my comparison, especially my quick description of the im-02s, lol. Though I just ate, I am still hungry and feel as though the post should not be reviewed just for that image you posted. That treble is definitely yummy, too bad the cost of getting those tenders is more than a dollar burger at macs!
You need an additional 8 dollars for the tenders, and forcefully pay $171 dollars for the rest of the package of fries, ketchup (some sweet flavoury mids), and additional condiments (for some thickness and tight bass). Those look homemade, so I guess that restaurant/iem joke is dead now. Guess I'm not cut out to be a comedian.
