How does RE400 compare to Havi?

It doesn't. The Havi are better. All around. With far better bass when EQ'd.

both are different.....B3 gets life only when amped or good source to drive but its not the case with re400 and B3 has 2 micro drivers but re400s a single titanium coated diaphragm driver....fit also a concern for some or many with B3 due to its shell design but build and cable is far better to re400.......

Build quality was a plague with the 400. The right ear went out on mine after two weeks of light usage, and it was rampant with many. The Havi are just better and more dependable. Sure it needs an amp, but if he has them already, he surely has an amp.

Those new JVC FXT200 got dual titanium drivers. Like the Nocs 600. Very exciting. I'll own those by Christmas.

Definitely looking forward to what people have to say about those.

So I got my ATH-CKR9 at 8am today, and what a gorgeous presentation. The whole thing reeks of class, and out of the box, the sound was better than any dynamic IEM I've ever owned. So the verdict? Boxed them up and sending them back in the morning. The fit was way too reminiscent of my Philips TX2 or Superlux IEM. I've had the snug fit GR07BE for a few days now, and the CKR9 felt like giant bolts in comparison. Now technically those push pull dual drivers are superior to the GR07BE, with deeper more visceral bass, greater clarity, more forward mids, and more natural timbre and better extension. They remind me of a love child between the KEF M200 and the TTPOD T1e. Classy sound, but the fit is finickier than the T1e, with poor isolation as a result. So I requested a refund, I'm sending them back to Amazon, and I bought a set of purple VSonic VSD3S, to find out for myself what all the fuss is about, and get back $130 to save and use later. Oh well, I'd be more sad if I didn't already have a great IEM with the 07BE. Now to compare them with the VSD3S when they arrive Thursday.

Carry on Gentlemen!

Good luck with the VSD3S. I hope you don't experience super-annoying sound cut out due to crappy connectors like I do.

That's my one big worry, but I've seen upgrade cable being sold for cheap, so I plan on picking up a pair, and tossing aside the stock cable, like I did my TF10 when I had them.

Any good sub $200 recommendations around here?

Millions of 'em, but you're gonna need to be more specific. IEM or full sized? Fun or analytical? Etc. or suchlike?

 

[indieman]

How about any iems $150-200? More of a challenge

 

[HouseOfDoom]

Any good sub $200 recommendations around here?

Thats a rather massive and broad question, especially here!

Here's my quick list for you :

Havi B3
Zero Audio Doppio
VSonic GR07 Classic and BE
TTPOD T1e
KEF M200
Philips TX2
Zero Audio Tenore
ATH-CKR9
UE TF10
Sony XBA 30
Sony XBA H 1 or 2

$100-200 range. My birthday present

. Looking for IEM since it is an IEM thread. Anything with good clarity/separation. Neutral or balanced and hopefully won't fall apart from regular use.
 
I have eyed ATH CKR-9, Vsonic GR07, Hifiman RE-400, and possibly the new JVC FXT-200.
 
Should look into Sony, but I have love-hate thing going on with their products. 

 
 
Hope that narrows things down a bit.

IMHO, I feel the GR07BE, Dunu DN1000, Altone200, Havi B3 are all great sub $200 choices.
 
If you like a warm signature, and can tolerate considerable midbass in exchange for great details and transparency, go with the DGS100.
