I agree the top photo shows them to be significantly different in size. Do you know if the HM601 weights a lot less?

Not sure if the final version will weigh more, but it was noticeably lighter in weight than the HM-801 at CanJam.  So lightweight in fact, I thought it was an incomplete shell without battery inside when I first picked it up.  Until I pressed the power button and it turned on.  LOL.

I would really love to compare the 601 with the 801!

 

[EraserXIV]

it's August and still no news on the RE262, HE-3, and HE-4?
weren't they supposed to be released in June-July?

 

[Hero Kid]

Yeah seeing as you are offering the RE262s with the HM-602 it's a shame there isn't even a picture of it anywhere!
Let alone specifications...

I have preorder the HM-602 from Head-Direct, but I didn't see anything about any other offering then the reduced price 369 USD. How do one claim the RE262s in that price?

If you preorder HM-602 before Sept 1st, 2010, you will be able to get a new RE262 (top of the line) In-ear earphones for free.

There is something I do not like in this phrase : why did he simply not write "you will get a new RE262", why did he write instead : "you will be able to get a new RE262" ???
Is this a kind of draw or lottery, a contest, or a real give-away ?
This is not very clear to me...
 
An explanation from Nankai would be greatly appreciated.
 
After this explanation I will be able to preorder an HM-602

Fang doesn't have the best english, and sometimes he'll use a word that confuses me (like wish instead of hope); but I'm sure he means it's free if you pre-order by the required date.

 

[rawrster]

Fang isn't the kind of person to do something like that where he will trick you into thinking you will get something with an order like that. I do agree that his English isn't the best but it's not his first language. If you buy them before the date he set you will get a RE262.

I said the exact same thing a week ago. "Be able to" is confusing me too.

Thank to all of you for your answers. I own an HM801 and i already know Fang and I agree that he is very reliable (and gifted). But I wasn't sure there : this was too good to be true.
 
testrichard gave the final answer here.
 
And yes, I preordered today !
 
Let's wait and see

Has anyone heard the re262 yet? they were at Canjam, weren't they? I saw the pictures on In ears matter looks better designed then the re252. Odd that they are throwing them in with the HM602 but don't have them for order yet. Maybe a taste so get some word of mouth?

 

[Hero Kid]

Here's the photo from In Ear Matters of the "new" RE262. Here's the page for more info. http://www.inearmatters.net/2010/08/hifiman-re262-prototype.html

Looks like the same housing material as the re252?
 
Just read the link "picture of what it might look like"

i feel i've been had.
