WHAT.... its sold out.....
 
now i'm annoyed.... dammm the kefs sounded like a perfect sound signature to me.... ahh i was hesitant cause of the fit and the thin cables (potential failure point, plus possible microphonics)
 
grr..... ahh well it might not even have been able to ship up to canada (if they do.... please no one say anything cause thats the only thing holding me back from total sadness)

I actually ordered the m500 and should be getting them in today.  Looked like a good deal compared to other mobile cans.  This will be my first HiFi headphones so I'm excited to see what results I get after burning them in.

Hi, guys, I just got my m200 from deals of newegg a couple days ago. Immediately, I found it lacks bass!!! Otherwise, it's great. Great details, great soundstage, and very natural (because of lack bass?!)
But it's said this one is bass giant! Is there fake one of m200?  Anyway, everything else is wonderful, include build quality.
Moreover, on the box, it writes it includes three silicon tips, but mine are all memory tips, and the the extra two tips do not fit the huge eartube!!! But the two memory form is very good, each one with a plastic bag sealed.
I wonder is this the new version???
Thanks!

You should try tip rolling, comply tips work well. Also you have to get a good fit , but when you do these gems have fantastic bass IMO.

Did you buy a pre-owned/returned unit?  It should only include 3 sets of silicone tips.

That is opposite of everything I have read about the M200.  Mine should arrive early next week.  I'll let you know if it also is lacking in the bass department.

The pair I received about three months ago only had the Comply tips. I think the silicone tips were with an earlier version. The Comply tips are the 500 series and they do fit but it takes some effort.

Yeah, it only includes comply tips. The smallest one on the earphones and the other two with plastic bag sealed of middle and large size. But they cannot match the tube. :frowning2:
The tube are too thick and the comply are common ones.

That's really a funny earphones. I push hard the tips and finally made it fit into with the middle size one. Yeah, now the bass comes out!
Anyone knows its impedance? I cannot find out on the box? But it's too hard to push! Very power hungery.I never have such a power-hunger IEM! What amplifiers do you use?
Openbox impression. Really great soundstage! Just a little bit smaller than IE80. I still feel the bass is not too much. No way to compare to IE80. Details matches IE80. Seems to me more natural than IE80. But my IE80 is only about 100 hour, far from its final state.
It's a steal price at 50.

32 Ohm impedance and 103 dB sensitivity.  The "governor" on the volume - i.e. the compliance with the European noise standards (CENELEC) - might explain things.
