  I paid full price 400usd not long before the permanent price reduction to 200usd, and now 150usd... oh well... 

ugh!

I paid 199 too. New model incoming for such a price cut?

The $149.00 was a Black Friday deal on Amazon and by HIFIMAN. Not sure if there is a new model coming out, but there maybe.

I love my RE-600.. I listen to them at work. Is there something similar shape and sound quality wise that is more rugged and suitable for the gym? Thanks.

I see massdrop has some nuforce NE800M that look pretty tough.

I love them too.listening right now paired with dx90, Ortofon silicon medium tips, Quennsryche sound so good!

IMO, this is probably the price they should have been released at, 400 was pushing it just a bit.  I don't think HiFiMan has any new plans for replacing the RE-600.  It may not have sold as well as they hoped at 400, so they dropped it down a bit.

I'll second that. 400 was overbudget for me.

Hello, I have a doubt regarding the RE600 filters. I want to know how are removed, since trying to put some of the tips, a filter has dropped a little.
 
Some of the tips are very difficult to put in the RE600. It seems as if they weren't compatible and is easy to damage the filters. Any trick?

I saw that the filters are glued on their edge to the plastic chassis.

metal! I think its aluminum if I'm not mistaken

Is it normal that any filters dropped to try to insert any of the tips? Some of the tips have been impossible to implement.

it happened to me once, how are you putting on the tips?
 
try inserting them at 45 degree angle onto the lip one side at a time, and slowly work your way around

Correct.

It shouldn't, unless you're covering up the tip hole while putting it on.
 
You can easily re-adjust the filter by taking it off and putting it back on with a needle or a hobby knife. From what I've seen, they use the same filters as the RE400. They're just like stickers and if you damage it, you should have the replacements provided in the package.

Hello, can anyone tell me if the 400 are supposed to be very bright? I can't listen to them because they are too bright it hurts my ears. Is there any way to make them less harsh sounding?
