That was a great review. I generally stay away from any "in ear" design earphones as they never feel quite like and just overall uncomfortable. That being said, these are rather interesting. I will certainly keep a look out for them, and maybe revisit in ear earphones.
These are very tiny and do not insert deeply into the ear canal as do such types as the Etys. Although none of the included tips fit my ears, the tips from an old set of Head-Direct phones fit just fine and achieve a really good seal without extending into my ear canals. Because of this, they are quite comfortable and due to the very light weight, they "disappear" almost instantly leaving only the music.
I have contacted Fang and asked him for the specifications and when the RE-600 will be released for sale.
He usually is prompt with his replies and I will post the info as soon as I receive it.
I tried re-600 for 5 minutes at a recent conference. Build quality was excellent. They sounded very clear with excelent mid and treble response. However bass response was kind of weak for me in terms of quantity (weaker than W4). Soundstage was not that impressive as well comparing to my W4's. It was a short listen so take my words with a grain of salt.
I agree that the RE-600 has less midbass than my 4R, but IMO, the 4R midbass was coloration rather than a true rendition. Deep bass of the RE-600 was clearly greater than that of the 4R when I used my bass reference files and sinesweeps. If there is deep bass present, the RE-600 will render it quite accurately with the appropriate rumble. For example, I could clearly tell the difference between a bass drum and a tympani with the RE-600. Not so easy to do with the 4R.
Of course my preferences are not necessarily what others will like. Some prefer darker overall sound, some prefer analytic sound, some even prefer a quite colored sound. I guess that is why not all phones sound alike. I think many times a product is introduced that sounds like what the manufacturer thinks will sell! I suppose it is also why Players have EQ available.
So these pretty much suit you more than any of your other IEM's (including customs?) you've had?
Just curious to what customs/universals you've had/listened to?
