Great earphone at a great price. Pretty sure this is cheaper than used units when Amazon had them.
CamelCamelCamel.
are these any good though? how do they compare to the HD 560S ?
They are different type of headphones. HD560s is for enjoying music is a quiet room. IEMs are for sound isolation and portability.
Thanks for sharing op! Cheapest price on Amazon according to camelx3
Are these better than high end wireless earphones like the WF-1000XM4? I know latency is much better, but what about sound quality?
Depends on your sound preference, you may prefer the more bassy XM4s over these. I can't talk much about the sound quality against the XM4, but compared to my 1st gen Airpods Pro the separation (how well each individual instrument is distinguished) on these was superior, with the soundstage (how wide the sound feels) also being an improvement. The stock tuning can be a bit polarising to some as the sibilants were a bit harsh for my taste and required a bit of EQ.
is this still acceptable in today's bluetooth world
Yes, because LC3Plus would be required to really push wired audio quality of this level and up.
These vs IE300?
IE300 at $300? No, it's in the same ballpark of performance as the 200 with an overly v-shaped tuning. You could argue the IE200 is superior.
This is competitive with the Hexa, so at this price it's good value given the build quality. Both need a tip change.
Thanks Jasswolf, I knew you would know! Appreciate it:)
Any good tip recommendations?
I'm not familiar enough, would recommend the related Head-fi threads and reviews. I think the goal is to better cover the bass ports.
DUNU S&S, amazing on the IE200
What's Hexa?
Truthear Hexa.
In future though, I'm going to respond with 'what's Google?'
@jasswolf: Lol.
Just bought the Hexas last week and some spinfit W1 tips. Any other recommendations for tips for the Hexas jasswolf?
@AusGamer: These are the other clear option.
More experimentally, maybe the DUNU S&S, or Spinfit CP145/155?
OOS
Are they better than KZ ZS10 Pro ?
There isn't a font size big enough for me to emphatically convey my answer of 'yes' to that question.

Slipped on the negative button! Perfect. :D
They look like a couple of swans
Anyone else receive an MMCX microphone cable instead of the IE200?
Yep, I just received a mmcx cable instead
Yep, me too!
Me three here.
It might be the wrong price, and they just sent a mic instead.
I have already talked to Amazon; they cannot send a replacement because it is out of stock.
@M3N: Well, that's annoying. Amazon also said to me that it's out of stock and could only offer a refund on return of the item. They must've got a box of microphone cables instead of the headphones lol.
@Yuri Lowell: Wow. Is there anyone who got the actual IE 200 earphones? Mine are waiting to be picked up at post office. I hope they are not just the cables, but the earphones.
@M3N: I said I really actually wanted the earphones and they agreed to give price match when it comes back in stock. I asked them to send me an email stating that.
@nismo: The reorder arrived today, but again It is only the microphone cable.
I asked to replace the order again. I want to see how far they can go :)
@M3N: Yep and I just rec'd the same mic cable. Went to returns and copped this:
Q: Why are you returning this:
A: Wrong item was sent
Amazon recommended option:
Replace with the exact same item
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Why is that even an option for that category!!!!!! :D
Same here.
received MMCX cable instead.
Any good alternative?

$169 with coupon HGTSEP. It's not $129 but still cheaper than elsewhere. I'm just getting a refund from Amazon.
It seems it came back as back order.
Those came to down ~$149 a few days or so ago, with code SEPP17 (with eBay Plus)
just fyi
As other users mentioned, received microphone mmcx cable instead of earphones. Promptly returned back. Waiting for refund. Never been so disappointed by a deal before
Man that properly sucks. Amazon must have entirely stocked the wrong thing - this is the SKU for the IEM even on the US site… hope the process isn't too much of a pain
Based on the two day deals that appeared in Addicted to Audio, I believe the IE 200 are supposed to ship with the original cable and this microphone cable as a deal. Amazon screwed up.
Great price. Thanks OP.
