There are so many IEM these days it is almost impossible to keep track of. Here is NOCS website, seems to be a Swedish company.

here's a review of the iPhone version, but I can't read it.

you should update the thread title so people know you are talking about the NOCS.

The NS200 look like the new Crossroads Mylarone Bijou.

The second with the mic would be the NS200. The first pic is from a Jaben thread on the Bijou.

Form the writing on NOCS's website, it seems rebranding other companies products is their main business strategy. I won't be surprised if those IEM / headset are indeed OEM'ed by CrossRoads.
p/s NS200 looks almost identical to Bijou M (the headset version of Bijou 3).

Hmm, they do indeed look very much alike. And there really isn't much info on NOCS. This makes me even more curious about them. If I had the money, I would get the NOCS and CrossRoads and compare them. But I was unfortunately laid off the other week and still need to find a new job.

Michael from Soundearphones.com responded with this about the new NOCS:

"NOCS is a new company we just picked up, they have received high reviews in Europe and we are pleased to offer them in the U.S. Since we just received our inventory yesterday, I have only spent a little time with them but so far I am a fan, for the money they offer a good amount of bass and decent sound stage. I would say the NS200B are a lot more bass heavy then the NS100. They will need about 8 hours to burn in so over the next few days I will spend some more time with them."

Hopefully he will be able to add more. I'm interested in the difference between these and the Bijou's.

I just bought the NOCS NS400 the other day.  The Apple Store in Regent Street stock the NS20 0 and 400 in both black and white.  Cost me £69.99.
I bought the NS200, liked them but decided on the Titanium NS400 instead so I've had a listen to both.
 
First impressions, the NS400 and NS200 have a really nice punchy sound, very engaging and lively.  These fit very much like the Senn CX300s in terms of having to stick them in a bit more than normal earphones.  The bass is presented very nicely, punchy yet the mids and trebles are also really nicely presented, overall quite a nice balanced sound.  They advertise them as having Kevlar cables but to be honest, they feel like normal cables.  The only disappointing thing about these are the cables - I thought they were a tad too thin and cheap.  The earpieces are lovely, the titanium is light and durable and looks great.  Very subtle labeling which is the other thing I love about them, very low key, not in your face, and typical of the earphones coming out of Sweden.  
 
They definitely punch about the price range and I would say that they're possibly one of the best earphones I've owned.  The soundstage is nice and wide, the sound is warm I would say, played well with Hip Hop tracks as well as dance and tracks with guitar and piano instruments.
 
3 days in, loving them.  Looking to grab the headphones NS300 now.
