Replacement for RE0
My RE0s, which were my first pair of quality headphones, recently started cutting out. I'm looking to try something different, probably around the 80 dollar range again, though I may consider going higher. Overall, I was pretty impressed by the RE0s, but I did think they were a little light on...- mIndex

Totally disappointed with the Sunrise SW-Xcape
After lots of researches and weeks reading on the threads here on Head-fi, I bought my Sunrise SW-Xcape. Two months after being shipped (due to the terrible Brazilian postal service), I got it in hands last week. Wow, finally I had this revolutionary IEM, the best option on the $100 tier!

Review: Sunrise Xcited and Xcape Impressive Edition
Following the success of the SW-Xcape in-ear earphone last year, Vietnam-based Sunrise Audio decided to branch out and explore more of the mid-range IEM market in 2011.

[REVIEW] Sunrise Xcape v2 and Xcited
First, I'll like to thanks Sunrise for the samples. The original Xcape is one of the best sounding IEM in the sub-$100 I have ever listened to, but for some reason it was pulled from the market suddenly and replaced almost at an instant with a new model simply known as the Xcape v2. Beside v2...- ClieOS

~$100 IEM: Sunrise SW-Xcape or RE-Zero or ??
I'm looking for an all-around ~100 IEM that has an even sound without being wimply on the base (meaning, probably RE0's would be too 'balanced' for me). From what I've read it seems like the SW-Xcapes and the RE-Zero's should be at the top of my list. I was going to get the XCapes...- TheNewGuy8
