yes. I think they are worth getting for certain. They stand clearly on their own.. I like them better than my XB90 and equal my FXZ200 in sonic enjoyment easily..The great news is they don't cost so much to own. Anyone that is into their musical sounding earphones should get a pair for their collection.. You can get the DX210s and sell off one of your bass earphones the XB90 or the FXZ200 and probably come out on top to save for your next purchase.. Do you absolutely need them? Not really but they are excellent in so many ways.. I have a weakness for properly balanced bass earphones with great solid detail..I had no idea how the DX210s was gonna be..

 
Whoa. I see a Master Troll badgering you in your future lol!
 
Personally, I'm looking forward to them

OK, confession time:
1. I now believe in burn in. No question that the sound of these has changed a lot after about 150 hours of burn in. No more bass bloat or piercing highs. Just wonderful music.
2. This is the best pair of IEM's I've ever heard.
Thanks to all of you that recommended/found these

.
 
This really is a great thread!

 
150hrs is just starting them to warm up !!!
 
Bro, keep them on the burn whenever you're not listening to them and report back when they've reached at least 500hrs of burn.

I passed them up several times when purchasing stuff out of Amazon Japan. Something about their sound description just jived with me..Absolute bargain of an earphone..Next time your gonna order something out of Japan you can throw these in there as well and know your getting an excellent earphone.. 

^ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  Ds WHERE IS DA' LOVE??? LoL You ain't making this easy on me at all. : P
 
Are you overtly telling me to sell my FXZ200s if so, NO!!! I think you should add the CKS1Ks in that sell off lineup as well just to be fair. YOU HEAR THAT WAYNE.

Here you go with that burn-in mumble jumble.

 
Thanks for that advice btw.

My buddy is looking for IEMs and his budget is $50. I was thinking about telling him just to get the COR150s or the FX40s. He listens to metal and older rap music.  He likes his music loud so the MH1Cs are out of the question. I'm thinking the Carbo Bassos might be his best bet, but I don't know if he wants to go through the trouble of Tenso. What do you guys think?

 

[mochill]

I have about 5hrs on my corecool v2,but I can already hear better treble response comming out now and the bass is just to die for , midrange is awesomes and soundstage is awesome as well . Get them while you can cause I can say for sure they will be epic with more burn in and for the cor150 impressions comming tomorrow

Just so you know ericp. The WS99 has very similar sound characteristics to the CKS1000..The CKS1000 actually has the more mature audiophile tilt to the sound qualities while the WS99 has more of a funner tilt to them being that they actually have the bigger bass over the CKS1000. Otherwise the smooth deep finely balanced sound is on both phones.

Agreed. To answer your question Alberto about what genres both does. They both are very versatile sounding earphones the presentation of the FXZ200 does have a sub woofer involved but with much burn in has the best quality bass I have heard in an iem. The CKS1000 does not lack in this department but the strength of the CKS1000 is their mids and the overall smooth warm presentation that is very engaging.
 
The FXZ200 requires more power than the CKS1000 so you have to take that into consideration..I would do bass heavy genres more so on the FXZ200 and more vocals and instruments on the CKS1000.  Both sounds excellent enough on all genres of music but the strength of the earphones does certain genres better over the other. Both can do all genres of music. One excels more in the bass department being the FXZ200 and the other in the overall presentation being a nice high end smooth and warm sounding which is the CKS1000.
 
The CKS1000 is like a stupid highly refined version of the CKS77 with lesser mid bass and overall smoother higher resolution in the sounds. I don't think either is a bad choice..I do admit that I listen to my CKS1000 more so now a days but my FXZ200 is truly an enjoyable earphone none the less.
 
You know what is a shame ericp? I think many guys will overlook the CKS1000 because people will think they are "Solid Bass" with some balance..You hear them. You know they are much more than that.

Been listening to the XBA-3, CKN70 and the CKS1000.
<snip>
Fans of the tight closely knit defined music will find lots to like from the previous 2. The CKS1000 is simply a different earphone in a different realm. It uses some technology that is relatively new, cutting edge.. ( Dual air chambers)
I am sold on this technology ever since I bought my CKS77 but I don't feel the resolution in the drivers or the tuning on them was the best AT could do.. The CKS1000 on the other hand. It is a masterwork of many different engineering aspects that make them one of a kind type of earphone.. The XB90EX has some crazy deep mids but definition wise it could use some tightening. The CKS1000 addresses these issue with previous bass earphones.. These are bass earphones for the audiophile and for guys that like the bigger picture in their music.
 
What I mean by this. These CKS earphones actually project a bigger sound than the drivers emit using their filter filaments but the problem in doing this actually blots out definition of the sound. But not so on the CKS1000.  Definition is not only there but also gives an amount of depth on your tracks you can actually see with your hearing eye. It is the difference of enjoying a delux cheeseburger with 3 patties vs having just one with cheese.  Coloration? Sure but it is the type people enjoy and not the type that people don't. .What is it about your music do you enjoy so much? Is it the bass? Is it the emotion of the vocal track that reaches your soul? Is it the string instruments that stirs your memories of an important moment of your life?  The CKS1000 throws that emotion stirs that memory and then add to that the depth and resolution of the tune in their full glory..

 
Wow. After reading that, I think I'll buy another pair!

I'll be sure to fire them off to you once I get that 2nd pair. In the meantime, I've got a spare set of mt300's.....

Don't have to use Tenso.

Just buy them off eBay.

 

[waynes world]

Out of those two, I would recommend the cor150's. The fs40's are pretty bright imo.

COR150's are the bomb and the CLR100's aren't so bad either.  Budget kings no doubt.  

pls, give us more details
