Okay so I finally got them and for me I can notice some differences. What surprised me the most is the fit, with the IE600 I get a perfect seal with the standard silicon tips by just placing them in my ear gently every single time. This wasn't the case with the IE200 where I needed those orange tips. That was very weird since they look so similar. (Besides the different material of the casing)
Regarding sound I would say the IE600 feel especially more detailed to me than the IE200. They sound great and I prefer them over them so far. But it's very hard to give details about this for me at this point. I notice these changes more significantly when I use a pair of headphones for a while and then change back, so I might still need some time with them.
Also: I don't have a lot of experience with IEMs, the only other pair I own are the Dusk x crinacle and quality wise the IE600 are definitely closer to those than to the IE200.
So far I absolutely love them and it was the right choice for ME.
Would I recommend them to someone else? Probably not when you need to pay a couple hundred bucks more than for the IE200. If you don't care that much about money I would say go for it and try them some day, but if you're not getting a very good deal I think they're difficult to justify from a financial perspective. Still, you're getting amazing quality from them and they're awesome - as long as they work.
Cause a lot of people are reporting about quality control issues and them breaking pretty quickly. I can't say anything about that so far, that's also something I still need to figure out with more time.
I bought the IE600 because as you said people liked it more and it was mid forward (with a bass boost) which I wanted for my tuning rather than hyper analytical like the IE900.
But If my IE600 died and at the current discount I could get it for a change, you can always try and return it or sell it at some point if you don’t like it and get the IE600 again.
That's currently the closest option that we have.
Ie200 and 600.
Not that interesting from just the tuning perspective but as overall package it's just unbeatable.
Tried the Top Pro just for fun, but turns out I really like its tonality. Now I’m confused about which one to sell.
IE600 → more grand sound (feels like a true flagship IEM), better bass quality, more solid build, comfortable even for side sleeping.
Top Pro → excels in separation, resolution, and micro details. But the resin build feels hollow, kinda like the Moondrop Dark Saber, which makes me worried if it falls.
