Thanks for the comparison, to me B2 are slightly airier and have wider soundstage than FXT90, JVCs have better depth but are more intimate and warm, maybe my ears are not so accurate.

Where can i find these? I've looked around and can't find them! Any more things I should know about this iem?

With an amp, the bass (and the entire frequency curve, in actuality) does 'clean up' & tighten a bit.. but the difference/improvement is nowhere near appreciable enough to say an amp is required to get the most out of these.  That being said, I didn't like the H-100 with the UHA-6S MKII (OPA209 opamp) all that much.. a little too bright for my liking.  In fact, running the H-100 straight from my iPhone 4 remains my favorite setup.  Not just for portability.. but for sound.  The iPhone 4 offers slightly more midbass presence (than the UHA-6S/OPA209) to give the midrange a sense of warmth and body.  Treble remains crisp, extended, and immensely detailed (easily on par, if not exceeding the DBA-02.. H-100's treble seems to have more depth and body).

I had my DBA-02 reshelled into a custom.. so I reaped all there was to reap from it in terms of getting around fitment issues.  Going off (reliable) memory, the H-100 has a wider & deeper soundstage than DBA-02.  It might even be a touch wider than the GR07 MKII (the H-100 images better than the GR07, IMO).

The H-100 is one of the more sensitive IEMs in regards to the ruthlesssness in which it reveals recording quality.  Poorly recorded music can definitely sound thin, strident, and fatiguing.. it's debatable to what extent that is, though.  Feed it well recorded stuff.. and it really rewards you with it's excellent dynamics, detail, transparency, and clarity.  I really like the bass response, too.. it's better controlled compared to what I heard ootb.. great texture and linearity.

odd. but pleasing.

Does the Clip+ make them warmer/fuller sounding?

Great, I was wondering if I'd have to use my Clip+ or Fuze with an amp to get all the potential of these H-100.
