TDK Life on Record is a huge well known worldwide data storage' recordable media and electronics company. In the 90s, almost every cassette and VHS Tapes was manufactured by them. In the 2000s, when the DVD had begun to be the most used media, TDK started to disappear. Fast forward to 2007, Imation, an American corporation from Oakdale, Minnesota, had purchased TDK's brand name, and made a new TDK brand: TDK Performance, which offers mostly portable audio products: Headphones, IEMs, "Digital Boom-boxes", etc. In late 2011, TDK Performance had announced their flagship IEM: The BA200, a dual balanced armature, which was developed using technology for on-stage live performances, to create high fidelity sound.

I test this today.

This TDK BA 200 can give a balance on low and high, it's dual BA anyway.

I get a good bass, which better than Feel Pro 900. Treble sounded just right which no high pitch.

Mid a little muddy but for someone like me who more on rock and fast music, I don't care much about singer's voice.

The size, it's really small for dual BA, 1st time I saw it, I never think it's was dual BA. Really comfort for long use. It's come with a set of Comply foam too.

Like A-Jays, this one come with flat cable too. If you like to hang your DAP on your neck, the cable is short and won't be messy. Cable extender is provided for someone who need to use with PC or normal amp.

I can recommended this one to anyone who want to buy dual BA.

Dose the size same with q-JAYS?

How much does the BA200 cost in MYR?

499 @ dot life

Really? That's quite affordable.

Can buy galaxy mini already

Compare it to other dual drivers it is very affordable.
Nah, why sae 500 for a galaxy mini when you can have some fun with the BA200 and save then for the bigger brother the S2/S3.

Sae?
usually dual driver how much?
Cheapest dual dynamics driver how much?

About RM600...the Radius DDM...and the closest priced to the TDK BA200 is the JVC FTX-90 IINM. So yeah the TDK is actually the cheapest I hear of a dual-driver so far that isn't some shoddy Chinese imitation.

I usually see dual drivers in the region of RM550 to RM1200.

EDIT: Sorry, the SAE thing is actually a major typo that I forgot to remove.

This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Jun 1 2012, 05:04 PM

that's not really true... the JVC HA-FXT90 can be had for 499 at SenQ, same price as the TDK BA200. both are 300+ if you don't buy locally.

between the two, the TDK is wider in soundstage and instrument separation. the JVC is better at low end bass though. both are good in vocals and midrange.

I didn't know the FXT90 is available locally

One of the things that separates the TDK and the JVC is that the JVC has no crossover. The JVC is a simpler IEM, employing two small dynamics that are constructed differently so one driver favours a different frequency range than the other. The drivers actually works at about the same phase, and the sound overlaps. The TDK uses traditional crossovers and BA drivers, making them technically more complex (and technically superior) and should also be more expensive. For the tech it offers, the TDK is cheap. One of the cheapest, if not the cheapest dual BA driver IEM that is actually good enough to recommend (according to many who tested it).

@cyloh: Apart from SenQ, Jaben also has them, at a higher price though.

brainwavz B2 RM550 @ LYN calmshot and sony xba 2 also RM499.

Apple is still king then. Cheapest dual driver retailing at RM350.

Selling @ apple store? Alot of fake 1 Apple IEM

Yeap selling at apple stores.

Oh yeah, there is a newcomer from Sony as well the XBA series. Forgot about them. Well then, I smell a comparison. I wonder how these two perform? It can hurt Sony pretty bad if it turns out that the TDK is better.

Not worth mentioning.

TDK MT300 and IE500 sale on Challenger 50% off
Would like to buy TDK MT300 cause got RM20 Challenger voucher hehe

haha,when i first time saw BA700,i thought got 7 BA driver inside..xD
it is single BA,today i test at computer fair at sg,promotion price,SGD85 only. it sound somewhere near to sony xba 1 =)

test ba200, it still the best for me =)

7 BA driver

TDK triple and quad 1st la

so far very satisfy with my BA 200, very quite background, detail and sweet. lower bass a bit lack

add on list?

Hey guys. It's been a while.



TL;DR.

Summary: My FA Tandem broke so I got a TDK EB950 to stop gap until I get a replacement unit - but I'm pleasently surprised at the little TDK that could.

In short, the TDK EB950 is a great IEM if you're looking for something fun and musical (aka mid and bass centric, not so much details), and like getting swept away by the music.

Truth is, the FXT90 is better technically, the VB has more bass (especially sub-bass), the Eterna V1 is (slightly) more "musically rounded" (aka coherent, for a lack of a better word) and the Tandem is smoother all around (almost to the point of being boring).

But if you want something split in the middle between these four, for less than RM300 (with iPhone mic and controls to boot) then you might wanna take a look at the EB950.

Note the built-wise, it really feels plasticky, flimsy and not very confidence inspiring. The cable also feels cheap-ish, and the drivers flex like heck in my ears during insertion.

As an result, it's light and barely noticeable in my ears though.

Now using with my shitty source (my SGS2 - I lost my Fuze charging cable). And even then it sounds engaging to my ears, especially with my favourite Sony Hybrid tips. Now I have to find my Fuze charging wire and see if it's as good on a "okay" source.

Not bad TDK. Now lets see if it can last the distance - considering both my two previous Eternas and the Tandem broke after about 6 months of use on average.

---

Added on July 7, 2012, 9:03 pmFound out that my Fuze still had like 5% battery left, and tested the hell outta it with the EB950. Not bad, the bass is tamer and details better from the Fuze.

Also went and tested the Final Audio Adagio II and SE215 - and walked away glad I got the EB on impulse lol. The Adagio had mid suckout (it sounded much less forward) and sounded a bit hollow on my shitty source (the SGS2 - Fuze FINALLY died); and the SE215 is, for the lack of a better word, sounded "plain" (as in it does everything OK but is not quite as engaging). Built is hella better on both though, though for now the EB950 is still the quite the plastic fantastic - especially at the "slightly less than RM300" list price.

A shame it's not quite as popular out here lol, not even as a FOTM.

Oh, and I went back to the in-box Complys for the comfort.

BA800 soon tried

Upgraded the source for my EB950 -> SGS3.

Oh wow...

Ordered some small Comply foams too, the medium ones are getting a tad uncomfortable for me.

http://www.techdigest.tv/2007/02/tdks_portable_s.html


Priced at about RM69.00 or RM89 or something I'm not so sure. Who here knows the price range and their sound quality?

kat mana?
Never see this speaker b4

Cyberjaya, the shop is the row in front of Cyberia housing area.

not sure about that but compared to shure's dual...this is mor affordable lah...

NXT flat speaker..... good for mid freq.

Added on December 13, 2012, 3:28 pmthere is an outlet at Cap Square I think and they have complete range.... at list price...

This post has been edited by shea2812: Dec 13 2012, 03:28 PM

just got myself the IE800.
Is the default tips glued to it? I was thinking of using the smaller foams that came with the IEM. How do i remove the original foams?

Glu? If form tip middle of it are glu with is tube, then it attach to the IEM nozzle.

I necro this thread to tell ya'll of my amazement of TDK BA200!

One word: WOW.

Last trip to SG, this IEM is one of the very few which could really opened my eyes and looked at what I am holding and its price. It was really GOOD for that price. The feeling to me is quite similar with GR07 MKII, and my friend thought it is sibling to Earsonic SM3V2. Well, to my ears, BA200 is definitely better than IE800 (burn in problem? LOL). Sound sig: Balanced.

KUDOS to TDK for the good product. Hope to have it soon!

The retail price increase from USD 250 to 350
Now new batch come with the revision version single cable, without the extension cable.

and malaysia price i think much cheaper... around $200 i think

thats probably the older revision

SQ got different?

http://www.head-fi.org/t/584123/tdk-ba200-...ion-thread/1020
There are more discussion between sifu from worldwide.
Sq not sure, but some write in the above thread say the single cable sound abit better, using extension cable cause lost signal.
But I prefer the old two cable design cause the design of TDK cable are fragile damage easily. If the extension cable broken, ie 1 side no sound, just use other extension cable.

I guess a few M'sian using this BA200

wkkm007 TDK BA200 is really a great IEM for price/SQ ratio. Cable wise, yeah, flat cable worn over ears is kinda uncomfortable I guess.

Perhaps 1 of the TOTL IEM?

@ siles1991,phillip88 where are u staying? me from Ampang

This post has been edited by wkkm007: Jun 12 2013, 01:14 PM

TOTL IEM? Err... U mean for TDK product range izit? Because to me, it is a value buy but there are definitely other IEMs which excels in certain qualities compared to BA200. BA200 does nothing majorly wrong in my testing.

For that price bracket, if I want more bass, maybe I'll go for FS M5, or if I want dynamic taste, I'll go for GR07, if I want tasty vocals, I'll go for Heaven IV. I definitely wanna try in the future on more tracks to see how it performs in depth.

I'm from Kuching. Nice to meet ya.

me too
yes TDK only

I'm from PJ bandar utama. You coming for TT session this Sunday?

Oooh I'm thinking if I should buy someone's faulty gr07 and recable it.
