Just got my KEF M200 in today and it's a great early Christmas gift. The sound is so smooth and wonderful RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! No burn in time at all. I can only imagine where these end up after they have been baked for 50-100 hours of intense burn in??? 
 
I believe, if memory serves me well, that these are the best sounding dynamics right out of the box of any IEM i've ever had the priviledge of owning, and this includes the Sennheiser IE800, Fidelio S2, JVC FXT90, and HiFiMan RE-262.

 Welcome to the KEF club! Glad you're enjoying them as much as we do...

Thanks! I was worried about the fit issue everyone was warning me about, and that I read on the boards, but i got a perfect seal and they fit very comfortably, so that was a worry for nothing.

YEP. TRUE.

oh cool! you had experience with the fxt90! that was one iem was gonna get too but wasn't sure
 
do you think you can compare between the two? and why you prefer the kef over the jvcs? which had pretty good reviews in their own right

The difference are night and day. Though the KEF M200 lags slightly behind in overall clarity and treble extension, the KEF's are better in bass refinement, smoother mids, detail retrieval, wider soundstage and overall musicality. The FXT90's gave that bright treble and those slightly forward upper mids, which can get hot with some tracks, but the FXT90 also has that gorgeous timbre and punchy bass that can be addicting. The KEF's are just smoother and more forgiving of lower bit rate tracks than the 90's.

Hi-just went through the 1st page and the last 6 or so of this thread…in the Discovery Thread it was mentioned that fit tips were in here somewhere for the 200. Anyone know where in the thread that can be? Don't have the time/patience to read the other 44 or so pages. Thanks.

I closed out that page. Had it up for awhile, but since closed it out. I provided pics of how I was instructed to wear them, and I get a great and comfy fit.

Same pics as the Discovery Threae? Do you "clip" them over the top of the ear?

right over the top of the ear and down the other side. wire straight down. works like a charm.

In case some of you M500 owners didn't know, the ear pads are removable!
