I'd like to add, that if you add 2 additional plys of the stock dampener/filter onto the one already there, the high-end because significantly smoother in character, while losing none of what makes it so excellent. Also tones down the brightness a tad as a result.

I'm selling mine, I've just been too lazy to put them on the for sale forum. I'll probably do it tomorrow. Let me know if you want them.

Thank you all for the advice! However, I am not sure if I will buy these at the price of 79 when the new re400 is just 99.  My budget is 100.   Do you guys have other suggestion beside the re0? Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion but it is little bit to expensive for me as I am trying to get something less than 100.

From my conversations with |joker|, it looks like the RE-400 will be the unbeatable king of neutral/balanced sound under 100 dollars, especially  for RE-series fans.

49.00 Dollars on Amazon & free super saving shipping. Not sure if they are new or used as it doesn't state.

Verified that they are new. Ordered a set hopefully they do not suffer from the normal build quality issues. However for $49 it is hard to go wrong.

Well I'm trashing the RE0 I do have. They were a replacement which I shelved for a long time due to upgrading. I gave them another listen and also realized I shelved them because the left channel was failing. Hifiman always had a build quality problem. I got some good use out of them and may purchase the RE400 in the future. They were generous about returns. I have the VC02 on the way!

Waiting for my REOs to ship! Could anyone tell what`s the difference in sound between them and Etys HF5 or ERs? I`m just curious because interested in getting Etys and if having REOs - what the difference would be? I`m listening to jazz and classical.

Ordered Rock It Sounds R-50 yesterday and as them will arrive and are burned in, I`ll make a comparison to my REO`s smily_headphones1.gif

HF5 will probably be better. HF5 is single balanced armature I think, and the RE0 (replaced by the RE400 now) is a dynamic driver. The R-50 is a dual BA. They all have a analytical sound signature
