Ok, so last night we had an HDMI cable go out on one of our TV's.  Knowing that I'd need to order a replacement today, that in itself pushed me to make a decision on an IEM so I could bundle them together in one Amazon shipment.  I decided to go with the BA200's not only the poll results, but...

Deni5:  It's true that I was considering the E-11, based on reviews that I've read about it.  It's also true that I'd like for it to be portable.  At least portable enough to attach to an iPod Classic.  The other one I had considered was the C&C BH.  The C5 by JDS looks great, but it hasn't been...

Zenesis:  Thanks very much for your assessment of S&V's review.  I somewhat left that one with the same feeling and took it with a grain of salt.  Their review wasn't nearly as in-depth as others I've read, yet it received the most negative commentary when it came to the BA200's.  I kind of...

Mitchm:  Thanks for your reply.  I just got done reading the article you mentioned, but his is really the only one I've come across where the review wasn't reasonably glowing.  I think how one favors "sound" is so subjective that you're bound to have mixed results in a crowd.    I'm...

So far it looks as if the BA200's have the lead, though only 7 votes is hardly scientific.  Please take a moment to cast your vote if you have an opinion between the BA200 and the RE262.   Thanks again,   DW  

RE262 vs BA200:  After some reading and suggestions made by other forum members, I've narrowed my selections to these two.  I can listen to most any genre, depending on my mood at the time.  What I'm really looking for is an IEM that will offer a great listening experience throughout a wide...

Deviltooth:  Thanks very much for your insight.  Having someone make a comparison who actually owns and has spent time with each is exactly what I was hoping for.  Revisiting the HF5's isn't out of the question, particularly since I don't want to be committed to an amp 100% of the time.   ...

bhima:  Thanks for your comments and the suggestion.  The honest answer as to why I didn't consider the TDK's is this:  I have a great deal to learn about IEM's and I used Joker's analysis as a starting point for myself.  The TDK's weren't part of his review, most likely because they were...

Cloudycloud,   Thanks very much for your suggestions.  The C&C amp is one that I wasn't familiar with, but you're correct about what's being said about it.  The reading I've done since pretty much has me sold on them.   The same is nearly true for the RE-400.  I honestly didn't look at...

Thanks for your comments, guys.  Both of you mention the build quality of the R-50's, which is a bit of a red flag in my book.  Am I mistaken in thinking there were some reliability issues with the RE262's, as well?  I could very well be wrong about this and have the two confused, but that's...

Hello all,   This is obviously my first post, and I've always thought it to be poor form to simply lead off with a question.  Although I'll get to that in a minute, I'd first like to thank all of you who make contributions and share your knowledge on this wonderful forum.  I'm by no means a...
