No, I only have re400. I don't buy headphone/earphone to review them. Usually read others' reviews first, and then buy or not.


Oh, since you were posting so much about them I figured you had them (the M4)......

I wrote the post because I feel skeptical that he plugged an earphone with max 5mW input to a desktop amplifier. Anyway, it reminds me the re400.


So what? I use IEM's all the time with my main amplifier that output 8.4 W at 16Ohm because it's my main system and it's convenient for me to use it.

They are pretty awesome aren't they? :D That cable is especially good, and puts many, much more expensive earphones to shame.
 

 
Yeah, this is really amazing! Is the company in US? The build quality put shame of those Sennheiser's (what I only have) and its sound quality put shame of those by putting together several BA driveres and a dynamic drivers.
I just received it. I expect it'll get better after burn-in.

Based on Head-fi reviewers, RE400 is better than M4:

 

 
I do not have RE400. But I have IE80/800. It's on par with IE80 (very different sound signature). Its has a very 3D soundstage as IE80. It's soundstage height is better than Havi (from memory but with other references). Though soundstage is not as big as Havi, but definitely no big difference.

well if we need to spend 400 dollars for a desktop amp its not too portable

 
Not that bad

I do not have very good DAPs. It should not be harder to drive than Havi.

Yup, they're US based. If you haven't seen or tried it yet, see if you can get a hold of the Model 3. They're amazing.

  Man I should have grabbed on of those M4 when it was on sale at $27. 
 
How about its clarity? Is it also on par with the IE80 or at least not so far behind in that aspect?

 
Where is the $27 sale? I know it has $30 sale. Clarity is similar to IE80. But it has no blow-up midbass. Bass quantity is much less than IE80. High is not as rolloff as IE80. It's a little bit harsh on Xduoo X3, but not on DAC X6 with my A6 amplifier. Imaging ability is similar to IE80 too. Soundstage depth seems better than width. Soundstage heigh falls in the level of IE80/800 and much better than those Chinese products, even Havi. These are initial impression. Needs burn-in and further comparison. But I'm very confident from the initial hearing.
