Does amazon ship to Australia? they are 120 on there right now

Sadly it pretty much comes down to the same price including shipping and all.

Bump.  I'm trying to decide between these two.  Can anyone give any more comparisons?

I had two pairs of Re-400's and loved both until they broke... the connection to the audio jack is too fragile. After the second pair broke I bought the BA200s. Overall, I preferred the RE-400 by a lot. For me, I find it a bit difficult to get a good fit with any set of tips on the BA-200. If the stars align and I happen to get a good fit then they are better than the Re-400's sound quality wise. However, with the RE-400's I could just jam them in my ears (and they are so comfortable that I could barely tell they were in there) and get great sound everytime. For sound on the go (I have full-sized headphones for serious listening), I'll take a tiny hit in sound quality for comfort and ease... But since they kept breaking I can't easily recommend them unless you are super careful with them (I like to keep some IEM's in my pockets at all times).

I have both and the BA200 continues to get more head time. It's like clieOS says, the BA is the better of the two. IMO the only reason the RE400 earns a comparison is because its midrange is stellar. And part of the reason it is stellar is because it is framed by less than stellar bass/treble. The BA200 sounds good up and down the spectrum. Plenty of warmth yet retaining all of the accuracy expected from a pair of BA drivers.

Thanks.  How do the BA200 compare to the Ortofon e-q5?

 

[JoeDoe]

BA200: warmer, better mids, more relaxed treble
eQ-5: slight v sound sig, sometimes prone to sibilance, slightly bigger soundstage

BA still gets more head time of the two though.

A few days ago I ordered a DX50 DAP. As my RE0s have been broken for a while, I also ordered a pair of re400s.
 
I've read that they don't pair well with the DX50, and the BA200s are nicely priced on amazon so I just ordered a pair of those too. Kind of went on a buying binge. I'll be able to compare them soon. I'll probably start with my dying zune or computer (unamped) as a crappy source since I'll be waiting on the DX50 until later this month.

I think the BA200's will pair well with the DX50 but that's just my guess. The BA200's are pretty laid back so a more aggressive/bright source should do them some good.

I can confirm. They're my primary IEMs with the DX50. The warmth of the 200 works quite well with the brightness of the 50!
