I consider the new "Kuro" the actual flagship which is around $450 I think.  The Hifiman RE-600 price is close, too close for a single dynamic driver which is the same driver as in the RE-262 / RE-272, confirmed by Russian forums.
 
I don't think there is any remarkable new technology in the RE-600 unlike the other dynamic driver flagships, I'd like someone to compare it to the RE272 first.  Just my view.
 
 
 
How is the sound of FXD80 versus CKN70?

Flat-4 SUI sounds like an experiment and doesn't deliver the claims of the manufacturer, Kuro will have to be quite different from it to be good. RE600 will likely have the same driver from RE400, but the RE262/272 have a different driver, but perhaps same driver without the titanium coating.New isn't better, SUI should be proof of this, tuning should just have to do what works, not trying to implement "new technology". JVC and ATH put out something new for the sake of it many times, but all their IEMs are just experiments. Hifiman gets it right most of the time, they just need to get the qualities of the 272s but improve the bass.

Alright Inks thanks for the info I hope you and Rin Choi get a unit of the RE-600 to see if it's worth the price or not.  I like my ER-4B so not going there.

Maybe you do, but it's not. Seems more like a compromise for the people who don't want to do the full wallet rape.

The funny thing is for some odd reason when I got them they sounded really bad like there was a veil on the entire sound. It turns out you have to leave them playing for a few tunes for them to start sounding proper. Now I have no idea why that is but the sound difference from fist to the fifth are opposites..Just to check to see if I didn't have any flashback to college days I listen to the same track about 10 tunes in later and the sound was a complete turn around..

 
That sounds so very familiar Ds, I've got several phones here that behaves exactly like that, it seems like something in them needs to "warm up" and once they're "up"   ...the eargasm goes off the charts !

I bought the same exact earphones. They should be here soon. I know the bassos should perform well. What I am more curious about is the cks99' s.
