We have this review also...http://www.head-fi.org/products/kef-m200-hi-fi-in-ear-headphones-aluminum-black/reviews/9155
 
We need some comparisons to other $200 phones or other duals like the IE800 maybe.

We need more than that. Brief impressions please. Bassy? Neutral? Balanced? Detailed? How are the mids?

Haven't heard them personally but people who own both the M500 and M200 say they share a similar sound signature, and the M500 are very neutral. Slightly on the warm side but FQ is almost line flat. So that means the M200 must be quite neutral as well. As an IEM it may have a bit more bass.

Ugh X1 renders this song so... Perfectly.
Falling in love with their sound. Sound is pretty well-balanced IMO, definitely not a 'basshead' headphone.

great song! thanks for posting.  i was considering the x1s and curious about your"not a basehead headphone "  comment.
please elaborate.  do you mean the bass is appropriate and not overwhelming or that it needs more bass?  this cut has
a lot of bass in it that comes out very nicely on my RS1 phones. but the treble/midrange is very balanced  also...

OK guys,
 
What IEMs can I get that are a 'step above' the Carbo Bassos so to speak. I love the bass response and general sound signature of the Bassos but sometimes the driver flex can get a bit annoying and I want something that's a level up. Not quite sure I can afford to go for the CKS1000s (Not even sure where they can be ordered from to the UK for a decent price) but I am interested in the options available.
 
Any ideas?

I have a pair of the KEF M500 on hand and will recieve a pair of the M200 next week. I thought they both deserved an appreciation thread so started one up here
