Between your view below and reviews from LFF and Joker, and other DBA mega-fans including slaters70 and surrealsky, I think it's time to stop wondering and start buying. When the next batch is available, I want these phones. That is one powerful argument, and I only hope I can hear what you all...

That's what I paid from the same reseller on Amazon, $54.01.

Well, if you are getting them, then I might too. I just got my first pair of "expensive" IEMs, the Sennheiser IE6s, but the DBA-02s do sound enticing. Guess I will have to wait for them to be available from Budgen.   Quote:

$55? There are no phones in that price range that can compete. These had $199 MSRP.

Don't have the RE0 or I would one. Just an FYI, the refurbed IE6s (which came with all the stuff, fit kit, etc.) are $25 cheaper than the RE0s.

They are pretty good, not perfect, but good enough for most situations. This is really a great deal in my humble opinion.

Thanks for this tip. Got a pair and love them, and for $55, wow.

They have been $99 on Amazon, and you can get refurbed models on Amazon for around $50. I know, because I bought a pair, and they sound great, esp for $50. There is a thread about it (where I learned of the $50 refurbed deal).  ...

Richard Udeupa sent me these two phones as well as the SHA and Fish (did other review), and the CRO is another nice little cheap pair of in-ear phones from Earsquake, a Chinese company, while the PIXI is an on-ear phone but still very small (though odd colors).   I liked the CRO okay, and...

I received these for free from Richard Udeupa (we have mutual contacts). I am not an expert and usually buy mainstream products. Having said that, for their $20 price tag the SHA are excellent.    I don't have a digital camera, so no photos (they can be found somewhere else on this forum)...
