@@itsMe_TheHerpes Aria and I just bought the IE200. I literally just ordered them so haven't listened yet but just by the fact i have to buy a new wire right off the bat makes me say Aria just to save your wallet.

The form factor of the IE Senn series is so attractive to me. I do not like the chunky fit of most ChiFi IEM's and I've tried two now. The large nozzles are especially not welcomed.

Just wanted to say that I find it quite impressive how this video is all done in one sitting and livestreamed. Kudos to Mark for having the best aesthetic presentation within the hobby!

HOLY SHIT. Your comment about the tips not sealing properly just changed my opinion of the IE300s by a absolutely huge amount. They were so off sounding and sibilant to me this whole time. Swapped tips and boom. What the hell. I can't believe that was why this whole time. They felt sealed!

great review. Ill probable save up a bit more for the Kato

Kato is a beast

The IE200 are my favorite IEM, not because of sound quality (they sound good enough, and I can't fully pay attetion to the sound while walking / working anyway) but because of the excellent comfort and design. The look clean and professional, and the comfort is simly unmatched. They are just a perfect pair of earphones to use at work and on the go and that's why I bought them.

Ok, so ...yeah. In my experience there's a bass richness that is pleasant, not a lot of punch but certainly a full-bodied sound. Lower mids are slightly muddy to my ears, but that impacts mostly spoken language, podcasts, youtube videos etc; music sounds generally good all across that part of the spectrum. There's a slight hint of sibilance in the higher mids, maybe that (in combination with the lack of definition) is what Mark refers to as "swishiness". Treble is tame but is there, not the most incisive but still clear and extended. Technically, the only things that stands out to me are imaging and soundstage, the first because is certainly better that what you find in the budget segment of the market and the second because ...I can hear it! (being generally insensitive to soundstage in headphones and iems it's a nice surprise). Detail is no better than what you find in the sub-100$ segment of the market, but not worse either. Generally a decent IEM, if it were priced similarly to, say, the Hexa we would have much to talk about but at double the price it's not really competitive. And yes, change tips, the foam tips provided will do the job but impact negatively the sense of clarity and detail.

How do you compare IE200 / IE600 to moondrop starfield? Is it an upgrade from starfield, if it yes how much upgrade do i get considering the price difference? Also comparing S12 and B2 which one is better at technicalities?

Good review

hello my question is is this better then the bose qc20 for gaming ? i play games on pc fps like pubg

Nicely Done. Off topic question, any chance your making your way out east for CanJam NYC at the end of Feb ? If not any suggestions for iems - headphones to audition. Looking to upgrade my Hana 2021's (wish it's fit were more like the Hexa's longer thin nozzel ) but I do like the sound signature of the Hana's but have to shove them in deep to get the base. For a short nozzle it's not a good match for me. Thanks

I would take IE 200 over IE 40 Pro from memory.

With your explanation I think JVC FDX1 (FD01 on Drop) is a better option. It has rotatable metal shells, excellent cable, 3 different nozzles, superb clarity, decent soundstage and a cheaper price tag (129$).

What replacement silicone tips do you recommend?

Regarding something you said about the AirPods Pro 2 sounding strange with Ghostly Kisses, I listened to several songs (ver nice vocals) streamed from Tidal on my iPhone - first using the Campfire Ara with a Hip DAC and then with the AirPods Pro 2 via AAC. Maybe I heard what you mentioned while using the AirPods. When the singer holds a note at higher frequencies it sounds like a little reinforcement has been added in. Is that what you hear?

And when compared to the Letshouer s12 PRO? I saw someone saying that the Sennheiser is noticeably better in terms of sound quality and tuning. But when I listened to the demonstration of these two models here on KZread, I didn't notice that much of a difference. At least I didn't notice any big differences using good headphones (but that could be the compressed audio and KZread). The IE200 just seems to have more controlled treble and a slightly higher sub-bass. But like I said. You can't be 100% sure by listening to demos here on KZread. I'm very undecided between the two. All my headphones are from Sennheiser, I like the brand. But I know which one to choose: IE200 or s12 PRO.

Just finished boxing these up, and I agree with your take on them. There are definitely strengths here, but the little downsides add up and I don't really feel like compromising at this price. The highs are swishy, the bass is nice and rich but doesn't have enough definition to the hits. In the end I feel like the Hexa does a lot of the same things just better and it's $80; feels more premium too, the IE200 feels like cheap plastic and the terrible cable doesn't help things.

This iem needs a proper mod to sound really good. I covered this stupid hole on the nozzle with a tape and changed the tips to the Azlas Sednaearfits. I noticed that they also need more power than the Xelento or the u12t so i cut the plastic rings around mmcx connectors to be able to use some third party balanced cable. My AK sp1k now can power them properly from balanced out at around 110-115/150. The u12t need around 88-92/150 and the Xelentos even less. Now the ie200 sound actually better than the Xelentos which costed 1k bucks lol (will not compare them to the u12t tho).

I already have IE600 and as hailed by some reviewers was tempted to have a cheaper version of IE600 for travels and daily use. I almost stopped myself while pre-ordering IE200, looks like I made the right decision as these don't seem to live up to the hype. My issue with some reviewers is the unnecessary hype they create without testing them properly, pushing gullible consumers to pre-order/buy. That's why I appreciate Super* Review, it's late as compared to others but always a comprehensive and dependable one. No BS, just straight, objective and honest opinions.
