"At home I used to use a pair of DT1990 Pros and honestly, I could easily have used the IE 200s in place of those with no complaints."
"This works especially well with female singers, particularly those with thin and pristine vocals."
"If you are mainly listening to pop, k-pop and typical j-pop, this could be really great, as bass quality is pretty good and treble extension is there."

"It works really well for Sawano's works, with punchy bass and exciting vocal presentation. ... Other artists like Milet and Minami sound really good."
"Bass is one of the strong points of IE 200. ... It delivers a satisfying punch and tactile response, putting it a cut above the bass of typical budget IEMs. ... Overall the bass quality is solid and fun to listen to especially considering its current price range."

"the cable ... [is] trash"
"My only complaint with them was the stock cable. Holy crap, it's so bad. ... I ordered an OpenHeart cable and it arrived today and it's made the ie200s so much better."
"The stock cable that comes with the IE200 is objectively bad. ... It tangles more than any other cable I have used so far, it is microphonic and it doesn’t even have a (usable) chin slider. ... it is just flimsy and feels cheap."

"Even with this, IE 200 can still be sibilant due to peaks in the upper treble and its overall treble forward character ... But this much treble boost can also come at the cost of being sibilant or harsh in some songs. ... Tracks that exhibit sibilance, especially in the upper treble, are unlistenable on IE 200."
"The tuning vent thing is a really annoying, poorly thought-out gimmick that makes the tape mod essential, so you're locked into one tuning anyway. ... But also with the stock tips, you frequently have to fiddle around to avoid channel imbalances if you don't tape mod it, because the simple act of inserting the IEM into the ear has a random chance of changing the tuning."

"IE200 are really not intended for music listening purposes ... Would give them 3/10 for listening of music. ... IE series of IEM’s are not good for listening to music / quite the opposite, they sound shitty. Period."
"Sennheiser ie200 are suitable ONLY for stage use and ONLY for guitarists, vocalists and not needy drummers. ... and are total shit for listening purposes."
"the IE200's bass suffers from anemia."

"For Aimer, many IEMs struggle to get the treble right because of her distinct husky vocals. IE 200 struggles here. A lot of her songs sound sharp and sibilant with this."
"having harsh/pronounced highs. ... They have pronounced trebles ... pronounced high-mids around 3khz and highs around 6-8khz. These three facts makes them sound harsh."
