i hear ck100s are amazing.
Thank you, guys!
I'm also considering TDK IE800 and BA200, they are said to be decent RE262 alternatives.

TDK IE800? where did you get that idea? they are in no way anything like the 262.
IE800 is more mid centric, musical and relaxing when compared to BA200. It is still a warm'ish sound, but I don't consider it to be the same signature as BA200.
They are equally good. BA200 has stronger bass and richer body, IE800 has better soundstage and vocal. BA200 will be closer to a stage monitor while IE800 is more euphonic in presentation. There is no bad choice between the two - however, if you like a stronger bass, get BA200. If you like an airier mid, get IE800.
like the BA200, also the IE800′s best possession is the vocals-reproduction. That happened due to a superb midrange tuning by TDK on both models. While the BA200s have a quite thick midrange, the IE800′s one is actually about average in its thickness. It is forward, open, airy and quite warm. The timbre is very well done, it sounds very natural and real. Detailing is excellent, and so is the clarity.
okay your right people have said it, i am just not agreeing with them. arguably it has similar performance but i cannot say their sound signatures are in any way similar.
Rather than pick up an RE-262 just snag the RE-400; it's altogether better balanced and more accomplished (in my opinion). This is coming from a guy who loves vocal trance. Alternately the Custom Art Pro 330 is a custom CIEM that renders female vocals more enjoyably than anything else I've used lately.
