Discover a new world of sound: Make way for the IE 200

As I listen mainly to Instrumental Progressive rock and metal

You need to listen to Animal as Leader's album Parrhesia if you haven't already!

It is almost impossible to listen to Instrumental Progressive metal and not know them! They are amazing even if not of my favorite. I love Scale the Summit, Sithu Aye, Intervals and also quieter stuff like Plini and Chon.

Yes I struggled as well. I think we are supposed to remove the tips first and then place the tips back on at either the outer or inner position. Another problem for me is that the tip position easily self-switches from the outer position to the inner position when placing the earphones in my ear. Not sure if there is a solution for this.

After posting that i struggled, i came across a thread (ie600) that suggested o-rings, i cut up the stem from an old surplus tip and made 2 thin o-rings which went onto the ie200 stem and obviated any tendency for the tip to switch. Having done that i much preferred the original position as the bass and richness of the music comes through better (imo) so i removed the o-rings.

I have to say that the ie200 is the first normal iem that fits properly in my ear, previously i have used etymotics as they have always fitted well.

i wonder the resolution level-technical performance (especially compared to moondrop kato).

Which is better with sibilance and treble smoothness, IE 200 or IE 300?

Yes the ie200 fit is excellent.

Does anyone feel that the ie200 bass sounds kind of “wet noodle” and artificial sounding?

I have heard some reviewers describe the ie200 bass like this and I tend to agree. My mileage may be varying, though. Not sure.

Just got my ie200 today
Initial impression is very good, especially with the price.
I was actually wanted to get ie600 to complement my Z1R , cause for me sometime the Z1R sound to “grand” and sometimes i do want to listen to something a little bit more laid back.
So i tried both ie 600 and 200 in the store today, sure the ie 600 is more detailed especially in treeble region, but i dont know why im more attracted to the ie200, maybe because of the light ness of it and also the price.
I’ll mainly wear this to sleep.
Oh yeah the tips, please change the stock tips, with stock tips the bass is very anemic, change to my final E tips and OMG the bass is quite satisfying.

One more thing though, anyone can recommend a good cable for it that its not uber expensive??
The stock cable only come in 3.5 mm , i need balance 4.4 and also the stock cable is very very microphonic

repying to myself, found the stock cables is very very microphonic, and also feels very cheap.
So i ordered a Null audio ethos mkv cable for it with sennheiser IE series mmcx connectors and 4.4 mm balance connector for my sony player.

I use Final E tips and can confirm that bass is not lacking in anyway.
