Hi everyone.

May I ask those who have experience with Head-Direct RE0 to tell me just how low the bass on these IEMs goes? I've heard a few complaints that the low end is not deep enough. I've been considering RE0 lately, but that bass issue really puts me off. I like to hear the deep low end in my music - it doesn't have to go all the way down to 20Hz, but I would expect a high-end IEM to be able reach at least 30Hz. Can RE0 do it? Is it better than say, Yuin PK1 in bass extension?

Thank you in advance for the info.

It can go low, but it doesn't have a full body / rumbling low due to its speed (just too fast and too flat). I use mine mainly with T4 or E5 bass boost on, and I am quite happy with the result, but don't expect PK1's kind of bass - instead, I'll describe it as 'adequate'. Pairing with a good amp is where RE0 will shine. In my case, I really feel some magic in my RE0 + 3MOVE combo.
