So the RE262s are now $99 on Amazon. They've always sounded like a headphone I would love - musical, wide soundstage - but I've hesitated because of the supposed amping requirement. This new price has me reconsidering. I have few questions though before I make the decision:   1. Amping out...

I read a little bit on the cable failure of the RE262 but couldn't find much information on them.  For those who owned the RE262 for more than a year, have you had any problems with them.  Aside from that, I notice that there are 2 versions of the RE262.  One has long cable and 3 short adapters...

I have no experience with high-ish end IEM's.  From all the reviews I've read, it seems that I've narrowed my next purchase down to the GR07 and the RE-262.  I know they are very different, but the two sound signatures both sound alluring to me.  I am however worried about sibilance in the GR07...

I need some replacement ear buds that are comfortable.. I remember hearing a while back, that a certain type of sony ear buds fit the RE1?

I have seriously been reading pages and pages and I am more and more confused. Right now, my DAP is an 8gb iPhone4. The headphones and amp (RE-262 and cMoyBB V2.03) should be here tomorrow, Friday at the latest so I'm pretty excited about that. Anyways, I'd kinda like to separate my phone from...

Im planning on buying the RE262's today because of a review by Joker. It sounds like it would be my type of signature. Unfortunately it seems i would need to buy an amp as well to get the full SQ out of them. Can anyone recommend an Amp less than $70 so i can fully enjoy the IEMS?

Can anyone offer an informed opinion regarding if Hifiman re-262 would be a meaningful upgrade from BeyerDynamic MMX-101 (or DTX-101). I don't care about the mike really, just soundwise. I have been a little disappointed in the MMX-101s, not a big difference from SoundMagic PL-30 which are 1/3...

I have been spending the past few months looking for some good, balanced, comfortable IEM's, and I've finally found one that I like the looks of a lot. The HiFiman RE-262's. Before I buy these, can anyone link me a few reviews on them that you feel are accurate and true? (I looked around head-fi...

I noticed the high impedance on the HiFiMan RE262 and that made me wonder - will it run well unamped with an iPod Nano 6th generation?

I've recently purchased the hifiman re0, and i really fell in love them. Been using them with my Hisound studio 3rd anniversary and they sound awesome!, but i can tell that they are lacking alot of bass but that's not a big issue. Although i do love the crispy highs and how great they sound...

So I haven't been around the audiophile community for long, around a year and a half. I currently have the Hifiman RE-262 with the Fiio E6 running from my PC at work for all my listening. I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed analytical sound, great isolation, and definition that the 262's offer.   Now...

Since I've got the RE262 I've wanted to get a balanced amp to get the full potential out of them but I don't no anything about balanced amps (portable of course) so what would be a good one?  If I could get one for around $300 and under that would be great.

Hi,   I enjoyed a lot my RE 262 from HifiMan, but for only 3 month long as they realy died fast, cable issue as always, no sound coming from the right one. I want to buy something with the same level of SQ, natural sounding and removable cables, as i would like to use them for years...  ...

I would like to use bi/triflange tips with my re-262s, but unfortunately the medium/ large ones that came with them are too large for my ears. Are there any decent small sized ones which i could buy as replacements? Ideally from a UK supplier.

Hey everyone,   So I am getting the RE-262's ($99!!!) in the mail next week and have some questions. I've done a lot of research on head fi but couldn't quite answer my question with it. I have an iphone 4s with a Fiio LOD and the Fiio E5 amp. I know the RE-262 do best with amping and was...

Hi everyone,   I'm new here - looking to replace my S4's with something better.  I'm looking for a wider soundstage with better instrument separation and a less fatiguing sound than I get with the S4's.   I'm really interested in the RE262, but I'm concerned that they're not appropriate...

Need some advice on a closed can equivalent of Hifiman RE-262. Would prefer if they have velour pads. Please help?   Budget <$200

I've had a couple of weeks with the RE-262s now and I love them - they're so detailed and deep - but there's just one thing that's bugging me. Vocalists often sound like they have a lisp - almost like the earphones are actively cutting out the highest frequency in 'S' sounds, and sometimes 'T'...

I love my Re262s for portable use but i'm now looking to buy some full size headphones for use at home. Can anyone recommend some with a similar sound signature? My maximum budget would be £400.

I have just bought my first IEMs (RE262), which I love for the SQ, but which are causing quite a lot of discomfort for my ears.   I have tried all the tips in the box (small/med/large normal tips and med/large biflanges), and only the smallest non-biflange tips fit easily into my ears. Oddly...

I absolutely love the sound of the RE-0 and decided to get the RE-262 as an upgrade. I have listened to the RE-262 for about a month now, and today i went back to the RE-0 and for some reason i really liked the RE-0 sound over the RE-262. Are my ears just strange because everyone here seems to...

Hello-    Loving the HF5s and looking to see if there are any upgrades that have similar sound qualities as the Etys do.   I'm primarily looking to spend $200-250 -Clairty in Mids/Highs -Minimal to None Sound Leakage (will be wearing this in work) -Controlled (not booming) bass  ...

Can't find them on official site. Does they out of production?

Just got the packaged from amazon and was pretty excited about it, unfortunately I think I got a defective one, the right ear has a severely low volume compared to the left ear. Don't know if that's the way it should be or I just got a defective one.

I'm set on portability, just got the IEMs and I like em a lot. Now looking for an upgrade in sound at home. Better speakers? Better headphones? Would a headphone amp help tremendously? I've done the 555 to 595 mod.
