Can get some really great deals on ebay. Is it worth paying 75 bucks / £50 for the upgrade from 10i?

IMO, it is. Keep in mind it has a completely different sound signature than the T10. Much better treble extension and bass that isn't overdone but still hits hard. Most people who are big fans of one don't like the other. I really like the M750, hated the 10 and love the 20. But people who really dig the 10 might find the 20 too bright. I find the 20 to be pretty balanced and refined with just a touch of extra sub-bass.

What tips are you using with the E10? The stock silicone ones? If so, which of the two? The narrow or the wide bore ones? The wide bore tips deliver a bassier sound.
The T20 is bassier than the E10 but also brighter.
Red is the T10 (wide bore tips), grey the T20 (reference filters):

I am using Comply foam tips. I generally prefer foam, as they are more comfortable and isolate better. My favorite foams are the Shure foam, but they only fit narrow bore designs. I read that some people compared T20 with 4r in the mid-range, but it seems like the T20 has a lot more response between 2 k hz and 5 k hz.
Is the red line E10 or T10?
Thanks a lot. I am coming from using the IE80s and my cable broke so going to try something else. I have tried Westum, cheap Shures, Etymotic and UE900 and they are all far too flat for my liking. I've got the 10i coming tomorrow so will give them a whirl.

I like the RHA 10i, they're similar to my IE80 but it's been a whilst so I can't remember how they differ. Love that type of signature though.
I don't like the long cable (even though it's useful its just a bit too long), they're a bit heavy but not really a con. I hate memory wire as it just adds to the time it takes to put in...this is where I love the IE80s.
But they sound fine for the £70 I paid for them. I have treble sensitive ears it appears, if I crank the volume up to compensate for loud envrionment noise, the odd vocal notes and guitar solos really pierce and hurt my ears. Not sure if this is really my ears or equipment. I use a Fiio X3 2nd gen.
Happy overall, I just ordered some Phantom Master 4 as everyone says they are amazing and at half price I thought I'd go for them. No idea what to expect.
It appears I can get the T20 for really only 20 bucks more than what I paid for the RHA 10i, not sure if it's worth getting them or the 750 instead to solve my treble woes?
@dlayman: I *think* T10 has a peak around 10-12k that can be bothersome to some people. It's possible that T10 could be hot for some, whereas T20 is just fine
