Had a similar problem. Not very good quality control I guess

You dont lose anything if you contact amazon.. I heared they do super dooper customer service very often... Maybe theyll send you a HifiMan HE-6! xD

 

Btw all this talking about the Re0 bass. About the quality, do they go below 40hz? An amp helps things get more balanced?

i always want to get a pair of RE0, but the durability issues reported by others stopping me behind. Sometimes I wonder whether it is user problem or product problem.

I have the current version of the RE0 (v3 I believe) and have had no problems whatsoever.  The build quality appears very good which is what I expect from Hifiman.  Properly amped these remain a great IEMs for the money.

means the reported built issue is actually from the previous version of it?

Yes, that's my understanding.  The original version apparently had fabric covered lead wires, although I'd imagine those are hard to find these days on the FS page.

 

I can't understand the cosmetic problems mentioned on the earlier posts.
