zzz mine the left sounds muted compared to the right..shame I really loved the sound but 1 and a half months with no abuse at all is really not excusable 

Kudos to the OP for his extremely brave post and the fact he painted his grados.   Personally not my for my taste and clearly many. But hey just like sound, if he likes it then its perfect for him. Nothing else really matters, unless he tries to resell it that is.

I think OP mentioned he was getting it at the same price...Might just swing for the beats at that but not ppl here seem to have durability issues with it..but if you are not taking it out why not

Yes I have and am about to send my headphones in for a replacement. Once again I am sure a lot of people have also done similarly before. Wish they would take e-mail as a form of customer service but if you need to contact them you can use windows live messenger or call(if you are in the us).

As in head-direct? I bought my re-0 from them no problem. I can safely say loads of ppl here have bought stuff from them and they come out with quality stuff most of the time. Suppose to have good customer service. Other than that I dont noe what other proof i can get you. Oh and they are one of...

Personally havent heard any of them but judging but how most threads with the name monster here goes, its best not mentioned is my policy. I think the general opinion on head-fi is that the monsters are generally good but way over-priced. The Um3x are supposedly very well-rated but a little...

how do you expect them to appreciate music...of cause they will think monsters are great..I mean its only logical that they think Justin Beiber is great it only follows they think monsters are the best!

When i first open the link, I thought my laptop had gone a little berserk and the colour was off. The monsters are perhaps decent phones but if i had any headphone in that colour I would NEVER wear it in public!

Hey I recently bought a akg 701 and been wondering how to get it up to speed as well. Planning to get a Heed Canamp for my amps but as for the Dac I have been running round in circles. Would it be a decent choice to buy a hm 602 and use it as a DAC/portable for the akg 701 or am I better off...

Yeah..Please put out your comparisons of the hm 601 and the s:flo2 when you do. Planning to buy one of em but havent decided which one yet... Quote:

Thanks for the review. Glad to see someone has finally manage to review the hm-601. Any chance of a comparison of this against the teclast t-51?

if you can't hear it, then no because if you are happy with them, they have done the job. No other way to tell unless someone with a good ear and a spare set of the same headphone tries them out.

Never personally heard it myself but the Ath-m50 is highly regarded here and is supposed to be relatively easily driven for an around the ear headphone.    If I am not wrong in jazz you want to bring out the bass and the trebles with a slightly recessed mid. I would go out for the Hje-900...

Quote: Seconded. The bass on the re0 seems to be lacking in quantity to me but certainly not quality. I havent tried many earphones so far but at the moment the re0 are my favourite for relaxed and neutral listening specially when it comes to songs that emphasis is on vocals.  

Not entirely certain about monster turbines specially since mentioning the monsters on head-fi is a flame-able offence. Never personally heard them myself but I think theres a bargain for it at $60 at amazon at the moment.

Quote:   x3   Planning to get either the hm 601 or S:flo2. Hope to figure if the hm 601 is worth the extra cash.

Quote: Lol yeah just a little but you seemed to be asking about iem's specifically so i wasn't sure...I feel that the description best is a little unfair when judging iem's as diffrent people diffrent flavours. I am not so sure how durable the hje-900 is but it does have a slightly...

If you are looking for advice on iem's, I think you are on the wrong subforum. Try the portable headphone,earphones section under the equipment forum instead.

Quote: Sorry I dont mean to thread jack but do the RE0 really need a portable amp to feel complete? I find them to be rather good on my macbook and ipod touch un-amped. And i usually have the volume on the ipod 1st gen to be about a quater to half the volume.

I havent really heard most of the rest first hand before other than the hje900 which is rather v curved so i cant comment but most of the phones u list seems to be $100 region. Could I throw in the RE0 in for contention. I find them to be rather neutral and have grown rather fond of mine. The...

Quote: Yeah joker and gang had a thread for in ear monitors..dont think they do earphones in general but if u want in-ear go to this link instead. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478568/multi-iem-review-118-iems-compared-westone-1-2-3-added-11-15   Edit:lol looks like joker beat...

  Its true that the re0 doesnt do bass as much as the others. When I first used it the bass sounded like it wasn't there but after a while of use i realise that the bass is there just not quite as loud. Quality wise it was still there but lacking quantity wise. It did change my view on my more...

Thanks..I have read some reviews and they seem to be all the rage at the $100 price point. Isolation is not really a big issue with what i plan for this pair. If things get too loud i wont be able to enjoy much music so i will just whip out my trusty iems. Anything other headphones that might...
