Hard to say because I don't know how likely it is someone here with one will also have heard the Shure. I have never heard it, at least. Your other question is too unclear to answer.

 
 
Shure 215 in my eyes is the gold standard. I am not saying it is good or should be considered as a standard, but this is the model most often mentioned, most known and asked to be compared with. At least this is a how it seems to me... Am I wrong?
 
Second question about the multi drivers... I never had one and would love to try. They seems to be quite pricey. Are there chinese ones that are good for not too much money?

Two questions for the thread readers and way too many pages to search:
 
1. Is there a Shure 215 killer in a $50 dollars range out there? 
 
2. Is there a great double, triple Chinese IEM under $70-$80 dollars?
 
Greatly appreciate your help!

I don't have the 215, but I have the Philips Fidelio S1, which ljokerl rates as equal in the sub $100 range, just a different signature. I can definitely say that the HLSX 808 is a step up from the S1. But the 808 is a V-shape, so you would probably prefer the HLSX BK50 which is supposedly a step up from the 808 and a signature closer to the 215.

  Ya I wish they had done it next month! D:

8 days more to decide. Hard to resist.
  Already have one on the way. Should be able to give initial impressions within the next week.

Look forward to the impressions and maybe how they stack up to the A4 that will be coming your way pretty soon. Though I would have to order them before that comparison or pay 20+ more $ :)

  Guys, has anyone heard about the Colorfly C200? Seems a nice option for the price!
 

Nice, warm sound. Not the C10 level, but very enjoyable. Soundstage could be better and treble more extended, but for this price probably only Shozy Alien have better SQ (from what I have or heard). Good ergonomy if you are right handed.
But it's Colorfly, so it's have few bugs in software. USB DAC not working, 7-seconds gaps between ogg files, bad CUE support (like C10) and C200 cuts under 1 second from beggining of every file. Of course they working on this problems.
