Just got my KEF M200 in today and it's a great early Christmas gift. The sound is so smooth and wonderful RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! No burn in time at all. I can only imagine where these end up after they have been baked for 50-100 hours of intense burn in??? 
 
I believe, if memory serves me well, that these are the best sounding dynamics right out of the box of any IEM i've ever had the priviledge of owning, and this includes the Sennheiser IE800Fidelio S2JVC FXT90, and HiFiMan RE-262.

Great pouch!

I made a little discovery of my own that I never thought of involving my Acoustic 120W Solid State guitar amp, and my Aune T1...
 
The Acoustic 120W is a 2x12 combo guitar amp on sale for $199 right now (insane price). No tubes in it though, pure solid state.
 
Well... If I run Amplitube off my computer (usb), through the tube of the Aune T1, and then into my amp.... :)  Tube tone at Solid State pricing. It sucks that I need to use a USB source on the Aune though for the tube sound, negating the ability for me to use Jam Up Pro on my iphone, or my Digitech effects pedal.
 
I may purchase the Bravo Ocean to do the same thing, as it uses 12AU7 tubes normally found in guitar amps. Iphone + Jam Up Pro + Line 6 Sonic Port + Bravo Ocean + Combo Amp = $1,800+ combo amp type sound on the cheap.

So, after getting these in the mail today (yay before Christmas) I'm astounded they haven't gotten more attention.  Samsung EO-HS330, the stock headset shipped with the Samsung S4.  They're available on Amazon for like $6, but what's interesting is they're dual dynamics.  Sound pretty decent too - V-shaped sig, good clarity, bass is fairly well controlled and no sibilance.  You also get working volume controls for Android phones (they work great on my Nexus 5).
 
You do, however, have to toss the stock tips and supply your own, they are atrocious.  Smaller bore (Hybrids) give a more v-shaped sig, larger bore (MeElec) give a more balanced sig.

APB..These are on sale on Amazon for $59.. That is an excellent deal for a dual BA earphone.



What are these? I'm interested in purchasing a BA since I've never heard one and these seem like a pair to consider.

They've been that price on Amazon a long time, as I mentioned earlier, I must have put them in my cart and taken them out (when I saw how much I was spending on everything else) at least a half dozen times. They have gotten some love elsewhere on Head-Fi.
 
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

These are currently going for $5.99 on ebay!!! For a dual dynamic?!!  I ordered me a pair because frankly if these are even 80% of the capability of the KEF M200, JVC FX90, AT IM70, or MEE M-Duo, then this is the best budget IEM deal on the planet.
