Peas in a pod: Sennheiser IE200 and IE300.
How is the IE200? I have seen good and bad reviews...

I really did not like the IE300 at all (I liked its bass, but it has too much and annoying treble for my music).

NP-audio modded R2R2K impulsively bought used here on Head Fi and damn that turned out well. Massive, beautiful, and so much bass. Build details are here: https://npaudio.boards.net/thread/299/r2r2000 please don't ask me to explain it I have no idea. I have never heard a normal R2R2K to compare but I do think I remember "not huge amounts of bass" being mentioned so this is definitely not that. I can only say something like "P6pro with much more bass that somehow doesn't step on anything else." All the sound spectrum feels expansive and roomy

3X batteries in there. A beast in every sense.
But why the combo with Hiby R3? The R2R2000 also has Bluetooth, when it comes to controlling or playing music wirelessly, via streaming, etc.

Wow! That case is absolutely stunning!

It's got that whiskey look to it, which is my favorite 🤩
Thank you!
This is truly an incredible case. It feels great in the hand and has become an instant favorite of mine, although until now I've been using the one with the luxurious crocodile back and it also feels great in the hand. However, I guess I got used to it a bit. And besides, it seems that I have run out of players for 4 cases)

Well I think there is a slight reduction of quality with streaming over direct wired input. Could it be imaginary? There are far more knowledgeable and experienced people than me who swear that better power cords make a difference for desk top gear. It's really tiny percentages when you get to stuff that is this good in the first place.

IE200 are very good, I like them! Treble is very different from the IE300, doesn't have that sparkle or emphasis. It's smooth and inoffensive without being dark.

Give them a try.

First DAP and I have a taste for more, love this little thing.PXL_20230124_075134503~2.jpg
It was all the stellar reviews and comments on the R3 Pro Saber that got me to finally order one, killing me being on the AliEx slow train from China on receiving it :rolling_eyes:
