They're good for that price. It's a definite V signature, so take in mind that if you like very vocal-dependent music these probably won't please you. They do isolate very well, have a deep and impactful bass and decent highs. Also the hardcase included is the best I've had.

I ended up ordering the above,but,I'm reading now,that I'm going to need a small amp to properly power these
I was planning on using my Iphone.
Will that be enough?
 
My regular desktop setup is...mjolnir/gungnir,a balanced system

Those are very nice sounding IEMs. An iphone should be able to power them sufficiently, but they do benefit from amping. If you are in to the "warm" sounding IEMs, and it looks like you are if you got the RE-262's than you might want to look into the TDK BA200. They are also warm IEMs that are more efficient and are definitely more impactful and fuller sounding. Mids are a bit more foward on the RE-262's as well, could be good or bad. You could get a cheap FiiO E11 for the HiFiMans, they should suffice.

They have the mic'd phone version for the same price, ~29.  I bought the R1 mic'd version a few weeks ago and really like it, but I paid ~44

Bought a pair just to get the hard case for my JH16s before I left on a trip. Figure I'll give the gf or someone the R1s.

terrific price for a very nice IEM
 
I had bought it back in 2010 , but its rolled off highs made me go for the higher model , RE-272 , when these brokde down
 
still for 99$ this is a steal , but to be honest i went and bought myself a 2nd pair of 272 as backup - who knows when the next really good 'neutral' IEM comes out ?
 
(funny how all re-xxx models come simultaneously at so competitive prices at once)

Ordered a pair of the R1s, thanks!

 

[clarkkent]

Same, ordered a pair of R1's with the mic.  Thanks!

 

[Fox2twenty]

Same, ordered a pair of R1's with the mic.  Thanks!

Just remember they do change with burn in; and they need a deep fit to sound right. When I wear mine I have the front of the housing in the entrance to the ear canal.

 

[JonnyRocket]

I'll do that. Looking forward to checking them out against the Sony Mh1c
