Ok my eBay mate got a listing set up for 3 Zero Audio DX200 Carbo Tenore earphones.

Who's still up for a group buy?
 
 
OK, my haste cost me about $10 extra, now see how good the White Rabbit service is...

I expect some reports from you guys getting the Tenors. If they are at the quality level of the DX210 those should be excellent.
 
Speaking of. I have been burning in my DX210.. These sound so good right now. I am simply amazed these sound this nice for the price..Be it the DX200 or the DX210 I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised by Audio Zero earphones.

Yup, gotta get those 210's! The 1K's simply look too awesome to take out in public... strangers are constantly stopping me to ask me about them. This is nice and all, but sometimes I just don't want to be bugged! That's where these Basso's will come in handy - excellent "leave me alone" portable 1K sounding iems!

Time to get going with the "proof of identity" thing with tenso...

Designed for the true music lover, ETZ from 3EIGHTY5 AUDIO feature earpieces made of mahogany wood with a lacquer finish that deliver the ultimate in sound quality These headphones are truly a masterpiece and due to the nature of the wood grain and shading they are each considered one of a kind!  When not in use, these beauties fold flat and store in a matching lacquer wood storage case.


And, no, I have nothing to do with this company, just discovered this a few hours ago. No reviews though.

but my mom would be pissed as heo there isn't any jewelry in the box.  And giving a jewelry box implies you plan on giving jewelry later on if anything...setting yourself up for failure

I've been reading report on Japan sites to not expect a lot of bass in the Tenores. The name means treble. So just keep that in mind when ordering the DX200.

As I said in the H-200 thread, I'm very interested in your impressions - looking forward to them!
 
You asked earlier what tips I'm using on the 1k's, and auvio double flanged tips are doing a stellar job for me :)

So waynes world:
 
Let me get right to it, the H-200 is very good (quite good actually), but not a threat to the CKS1000. First, the sound signatures are nothing alike. The 1K still has an instrument separation, instrument placement, natural timbre, and 3-D like non-other. It's only when you compare other earphones back to back with the 1K that you realize it's how beautiful and unique it's sound signature is. And the bass is so rich and refined and deep, but not overblown.

The H-200, on the other hand, is a more neutral sounding earphone. I would say that the H-200's soundstage is wider than the the 1K (but not deeper). Bass is definitely there, but doesn't get as low and as rich as the 1K. Then again, the bass driver hasn't open up yet. The H-200 is what I would call 3-D-light. It's there and heavier than the GR07, but the notes aren't as thick and as rich as the 1K. The 1K is more refined, but I wouldn't say the H-200 is way behind it. Again, I don't want to rate the H-200 until about 50 hours of burn-in. I would consider the 1K a top tier, and I would consider the H-200 a "high-end" mid-tier. So I place it somewhere between the GR07 (CKN-70/IE800)  and 1K. It's slight step above the BA200 right now (which is one of my favorite universals too, but it doesn't have the bass of the H-200). H-200 has better instrument separation than the BA-200. That's it for now. I need more listening. The H-200 is terrific for the price of $200 - $250.

Thanks! Very interesting. Your description of them makes me think they may sound similar to the GR07BE's. It will be interesting to see how they change with further burn in.

And based on your impressions so far, it sounds like the CSK1000's for $190 ain't such a bad deal either

i dont remember who posted about the corecool v'2 dual driver iem.... but these seem like the same ones but without the detachable cable.  and its 24+shipping from woot

Certainly looks like that's the case. I paid a premium of about $20 over the Woot price and got replaceable cables which could come in handy, so I'm alright with that, but I would hate to pay $99 only to find out the rebrand is only $30 every day.

One question.

I'm confused: my xb90ex sounds pretty much like the fxz200!
What's your experience between these two?

 
I'm pretty sure your fxz200 aren't quite "burn in"
 
I too thought my xb90ex and fxz200 were on the same level until the fxz200 got an extra 500hrs+ of accidental EDM blasting    ...now their bass, mids and treble have pull ahead of the sony's which can only come close with the bass.
