lol sorry guys, maybe decent price was a bad word to use. Just haven't seen them for much better prices (I bought mine for around $120 as well) I imagine TDK wouldn't even offer warranty on these, as they're discontinued.
 
We'll hopefully see a follow up (with removable cables) for a similar price point.

^ $202 is a decent price? I guess since they are rare maybe, but I'm a bit deluded since I got them for like $120, as did others, and when they just got discontinued some people got them for like $30, which is still the best deal I have seen in my days on head-fi.

Thanks for pointing it out in case people want a pair.

I disagree: the best deal was the one described in this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/681890/dt-250-for-27-80.

  But maybe you prefer IEMs to closed headphones!

Oh wow I use the exact same thing...
 
I love the BA200, though my one is currently sitting in my drawer cause it is damaged...
 
I hope I can repair it (mine has a major channel imbalance issue), else I would just go and buy another one since I love it so much

I loved so much mine that i managed to snatch another pair. Many times i just prefer BA200 over my UM3x and W30.

I solved an imbalance issue with my first pair by swapping the acoustic dampers. I replaced the red ones with green dampers (1500ohms) and love the result (improved treble).


Before you marry someone, first make them use a computer with slow Internet connection to see who they really are.

Is there any one both have Havi B3 and BA200 here, any comparisons?

Anyone got an affordable source of where to snag another pair?

I went to the actual store operating this Lazada e-store and bought a pair
 

 
Yes old stock, but finally I got to hear a BA200 again

Has anyone had any issues with one side dying? It seems the bass driver on the left ear of my set has gone out. The high end still sounds fine. They are 15 months old and when I contacted TDK they said that they are a discontinued model and are out of warranty so I was out of luck. I've tried different sources, with and without the extender cable and no difference. 
 
Any troubleshooting tips? I'm willing to take them apart. Right now they are basically garbage. Pretty upset with the life of these. They haven't been abused and have spent almost their entire life on my desk.

You could try to remove the acoustic dampers. They are located under the dust mesh, just pull them out using tweezers. Sometimes clogging of the dampers can cause balance issues, but normally it should affect treble and bass as well as total volume, not only bass. Above that repairing it might be quite difficult.

I fixed mine this summer by changing the acoustic dampers. The right one was clogged beyond repair.


Running seems like a great idea until you actually start running

Is it still possible to pick up a brand new pair of these bad boys? What would be the best place to score a pair?

Suddenly everyone cares about an IEM you can no longer buy
