HiFiMan products--are they all poorly built?

Hello,

 

Are the RE0, Re-Zero, 262, etc models all poorly built, or is it just the RE0?

 

I'm trying to figure out if this company, based in China, is capable of making IEMs that are built to last. I more or less do not expect great customer service, but I usually don't need it if the IEM is built well.  I consider the Shure 530s to be built poorly.  The CK-10s to be built like a tank. I have read horror stories about the RE0, and I'm have had a nonfunctional pair of RE0s before. I am wondering whether the farther you go up the HiFiMan ladder, the better the build quality gets?

 

Thanks!SUBMIT

I had the 262s and built qualities is about average, I would say around the SE530's level, although I wouldn't consider the Shures to have bad built qualites, it's not the best but not poorly in my books. The cable on the 262s did get quite flimsy over time.
