The ASG 2 is the most exciting IEM I reckon and it being released in a few days gets me more hyped. I'm totes ready to spend $1000 on an earphone lols. I hope I dont buy something that doesnt fit my sound signature preference.

You've been watching "Perfect Pitch" too many times, have you mate? haha...

Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread again, but if you are ready to spend $1000 on IEM, consider getting two (2) CIEM, Cosmic Ears HY5 (Quad-BA/Dynamic hybrid) and BA4 (Quad BA) - both of them will cost you a total of USD$800 (approx) and spend the remaining $200 on amp

You mean "Pitch Perfect"? The movie? Haha yeah its an average movie I guess...

I never really liked customs and wanted to settle with a nice IEM. If I did buy a CIEM I would go for the UM Miracle. Also, I prefer an IEM with out the need of an amp.

@putente, I thought you should know that your H-200 thread made it to T-PEOS's advertising leaflet! Well done!

There was an event today in Tokyo organised by Fujiya Avic. It's their Winter Porta show.

Were you there? If yes, did you get to hear the H-200s?

Yes I was and yes I did hear the H-200s but I'm somewhat a cautious head-fi member. If I don't have them in my hands for an extended period of time, I kinda find it hard to comment on sound based on a 3 minute listen at a show especially. However nothing in particular jumped out at me (positive or negative).

I just cant wait... 

There is something about the cable strain and connector that I just find it hard to like, it looks too bulky and 'cheap', yes I know at the end of the day, sound quality matters over anything, but still...

I see what you mean aesthetically, I could possibly forgive that knowing it had a honking big connection inside though :)

 All the better to feed them with.  A different colour perhaps. And speaking of colours, they look wierd in that scheme. Possibly just a demo pair for now though. Who knows if this is the finalized plug setup ( did they say anything about that ? )

I'm gonna have to disagree with you about one thing though. I personally don't feel sound quality matters over anything else. At the show I had my own earphones of which at it's very best I love it, but at it's worst I hate it - this is the SQ. Aside from SQ though, the IEM kept falling out from the cable and my friend almost stepped on it once. Then the tips kept falling out too. It's definitely elevated my concern about this IEM especially it's priced in the 4 digit range (in USD$).

About the the H-200s though, I actually think that's one of the better connects I've seen around and since it falls downwards, don't see much cable strain. The H-200s also feels like quite a heavy IEM although I didn't check the weight - got the brochures stashed away somewhere.

I don't know if this is a good or bad approach but admittedly I knew _NOTHING_ about this IEM or the brand even until I stopped by the booth and saw the head-fi link on the brochure. If I had known the interest in this forum about this IEM, I would have focused my thoughts more to it. Having said that, coming in completely blind too has its pros from the perspective that I'm somewhat less influenced with pre-conceived ideas. The "hybrid" feature was the thing that caught my eye which made me sit down to listen. Unfortunately, having tried some other hybrids, this didn't grasp my attention as much as others I've tried/owned.

Next time I come across it I'll give it a fairer shot. Sincere apologies.

I think I need to read through this thread carefully. I didn't even know I was the first here to hear it :p. I honestly feel like a fool now. The only thing that got my attention was Head-Fi's name on their brochure.

I won't say it was that heavy as though it was falling out but I do tend to jam IEMs into my ear tight for a good seal (I don't recall poor isolation whilst at the topic, but again bear in mind I had it on for only a short while). But at the same time, it felt solid.
