Hi guys,   It's been a while since I've been on here, but since getting back into school, I've become a lot more dependant on mobile headphones. I listen to music more frequently now, but most of my listening happens when I'm away from home, in between classes, or just 'going somewhere'...

Hi! Im very new to this quality audio thing :). The only earbuds ive ever owned are ipod stock. Recently ive been searching for the best buds or iems i can buy under 100 dollars. One of the ones i had as my choice was the re0, but decided to pass because a lot of reviews say they lack bass depth...

Finally the waiting is over. Ordered mine today and am very interested to compare them to the RE0.

I hear people talking about them, so I thought that they were on sale.  Unfortunately, I can't find it on the site, and it's well past the June release date.  Did all 1000 already sell, or have they not been released yet?

Introduction I got a few new earphones to try out recently.  Joker was kind enough to let me borrow his CK90Pro for a little while.  I picked up the RE-ZERO after reading some promising reviews that they fixed some of the issues I didn't like with the RE-0.  I also bought the DBA-02 from the...

Hi all I've been wandering the forums and this is my first post. After tons of broken or simply unsatisfying budget IEMs, I have decided to buy some real good ones. I have saved money and since the time is right (don't ask) I wanted to order them as soon as possible. I listen to Alternative...

Hi, I am hoping someone who actually owns RE-ZERO can tell me how hard it is to live with the adapter of Hifiman RE-ZERO on an iPhone? I am certain that I will be very happy with the SQ, but it's no good if it ends up on the desk most of time. My backup choice is Thinksound Rain which i can...

Hi guys, I need your help on picking an IEM. My most listened to genre of music is rock. I do enjoy listening to rock with my SR-225i. I enjoy the "in your face" sound. I really like how the electric guitars sound on Grados. The other type of music I occasionally listen to is electronic. I...

Several years ago I bought Shure E4Cs after doing my research on these forums. They were $300 MSRP but I paid $190 or so. The high end at the time was the E500s I believe which could be had for around $300-$350 (MSRP around $500). My memory isn't so good so this may be a little inaccurate.  ...

First post!   I found head-fi back when I was in high school. Now I'm in college, have some money, and knew exactly where to go for suggestions on how to squander it.   I've been shopping around for headphones, and so far I've really liked the AKG K701. I've heard thought that some...

Finally got my RE-ZERO. totally blown away by the SQ. Now I am just having some trouble to get a good seal from the stock small bi-flange tipe. Someone mentioned that a triple flange tip would be better, but i am not able to find suitable ones from eBay. Could someone kindly suggest a few for...

I currently use the Koss PortaPros but feel they are a bit to muddy and aren't all that portable. After looking at these to IEMs, I was wondering if I should drop the extra twenty bucks on the RE-ZEROs. If there are any better sounding IEMs for under $150, I would love it if you dropped a line...

  Hey,   As you can see,its my first entry here so hi all !   I read and searced a lot but couldnt find any answer for my dilemma.I stuck between NuForce NE8 and Ety er6i. Both are about same price to me and I could get Fiio E5 too. Im listening much more metal(old school...

I have read great things about both, but not enough to make one out to be better than another. What do you think, Head-Fiers?

First, I would like to thank Head-Direct for the sample. About two and a half years ago I reviewed the first two of their RE series, the RE1 and RE2 and mighty impressed by both. Then it was the RE0, which I love and still use as one of my reference IEM for its unbeatable treble extension. Time...

So I just received these in the mail today. Plugged them into my MP3 player and only the left earbud works. But then I plug it in the 2 adapters (not sure what they are) and it seems to work.   I'm pretty sure both sides should work without the adapters but just wanted to make sure before I...

Hi all, first post here,   I was pointed to this site by a colleague and I've found it very informative so far; only trouble is, I now have too much information :) and wondered if you could help me narrow my selection down further; first a little on my most recent sets: Creative EP630 ->...

Dear Head-Fiers   I'm thinking about buying IEM during upcoming trip to Japan. My only experience with IEM is Sony MDR-NC020 (came with X1061 Walkman).  Although I'm pretty happy with its sound, I'm curious as to what IEM without noise canceling would sound like. I stumbled upon...

Are they the same thing? And which one is the one people refer to when they say it sounds like and IEM equivalent to the K701 ie. cold and analytical?   On the Head Direct website (http://www.head-direct.com), the 'Head Direct' RE0 is $79 and the Hifiman RE0 (they call it the RE-ZERO) is $99...

Hey all,   So my old Shure E3c's are on their way out. About time, since I've had them for about six years. I see that things have heated up since then. I've been reading as much as I can, but was hoping someone could give some personal recommendations to get me started on some more focused...

I have heard many good things about ibasso D10, I have a Zero DAC right now, so just wondering how does ibasso D10 compares to Zero DAC. I tried to use search function, but the forum can not search for "zero" for some reason. Anyone did some direct comparisons? Thanks

  Hello boys and girls, nice to meet you all btw :). I am looking for new iems to replace my cx300ii. I plan to use them unamped with my 5800xm and my pc. The tricky part is that i have to order my new iems from somewhere inside the EU because otherwise i am in danger of getting my ass taxed...

Hi everyone, first post here. I could do with some help. Im one of the many who bought the Sony A845 in europe to find the volume to low due to EU imposed sound limiter. I understand that sony are not interested in a firmware upgrade to remedy the situation and so im stuck with it.   Im...

I'm looking to get some new IEMs for portable use... I listen to a lot of genres--mainly rock, rap, dubstep/techno/etc. I already have a mini^3 for an amp so amplification isn't really a problem. Budget is around $80 (flexible), but cheaper is fine too, I just want a good bang for the buck...

Hello, I'm considering upgrading from RE2s to the RE0.  I currently use Grado SR60i and the RE2.  The RE2s are getting the most use during commuting to and from work.  As a source, I use an iPhone 4.  I also have a Fifo E5 that I occasionally use with the RE2.  I am just wondering if I should...
