In the re-400 portion, you mention a zippered carrying case, but my package of my own re-400s did not include one. Where did you hear of this case?

Several months ago someone mentioned that they bought an RE-400 and got a case. I confirmed with HiFiMan that all RE-400s were shipping with them now (not in the packaging, but on the side). I didn't get a chance to add the info until recently. Might only apply to those RE-400s purchased directly from Head-Direct. Where did you get yours?

Huh? I got my RE-400 last week from Head Direct, and there was no case. No cable winder either, though that doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I didn't think that I got the cable winder either until I turned that foam packing material upside down.   It was underneath.
 
No case though, and I too bought mine from Head Direct fulfilled by Amazon.

Yeah, I got mine directly from Head Direct and I didn't get a case. I did get a cable winder but it's kind of unwieldy.

I guess I will ask about it again and see if you all should've received carrying cases 

Westone Adventure Alpha seems interesting.......i wonder why they're not selling them on Amazon
 

Let me show you my perfect seal with my DIY multi flanges for RE-400. Prefer silicone than foams.

are the RE-400's tips especially small?

The small ones are.   The big one isn't.

Seems like the RE272 would have been good for you but sadly it's been discontinued. The lesser treble quantity of the RE-400 makes it the 'safe' choice but you would probably like the new Philips Fidelio S1/S2 IEMs - they do have more bass than the RE-400, especially subbass, but as a result the mid-bass is actually not as prominent. More importantly, the Philips IEMs are a little brighter. I would recommend you try them first because I can see the treble being at the limit of someone's tolerance but they are definitely not as "hot" up top as the GR07.

There is just not enough reviews for philips in-ears, and waterline is for now my choice number one, i went trough your review once more and as waterline is missing that top end something, i found 10 other in-ears that are all missing something, but more or less fit the description of what i want: 
VSonic R02 Silver
Head-Direct RE0
Head-Direct (HiFiMan) RE-ZERO
Sunrise SW-Xcape v. 1
VSonic GR06
VSonic VC02
HiFiMan RE-400 Waterline
HiFiMan RE262
 Rock-It Sounds R-50
VSonic GR01
Fischer Audio DBA-02 mkII
 
What would be most analytic but not fatiguing and musical, most extended and flat headphone in both ways, with neither bass or highs overshadowing mids, and without mid bass hump? It can definitly lean more towards analytic, but just not all the way, cuz it is my only pair for now.
Also, if there is the need, if there is tremendous difference i can go up to 200, but since this is just a temporary solution, i would like to buy cheapest one that fits the description.
 
Thank you for your reviews, they are very helpful, its not like im lazy and just want u to chew up and spit the answer for me, i have red the reviews several times, but im still a bit confused about what the best in ear for me would be at the moment, because i still have to live with it for at least 6 months if not a year or more.

I couldnt wait any more, i ordered r-50

can someone recommend mid-centric/bright shallow insertion dynamic driver iems to me? :3

One off the top of my head is the Hifman RE-272. For cheaper, you could also do the RE400.

How do they compare to Hisoundaudio Golden Crystal, or Shure SE315?

To tell you the truth I haven't heard a single thing about the SE315, so take that as you will. As for the Golden Crystal, there are a couple reviews around here I remember reading, saying they were very bright.
