I totally agree. Should be simple enough to fix, I would think.

Hmm, I just got my RE-ZERO's. Impressions after a few minutes of listening: they don't sound that different from my RE0's. Can't really name any differences af of now.

I have a Fiio LOD (the most basic one, the L1 I think) and an iBasso one. The iBasso is almost double the cost, but I doubt it adds more SQ than the Fiio one. I bought it because I needed another LOD and it looked gorgeous :)   Fiio L1:   iBasso CB03   -edit- Whoops, I just read...

If you do not need the DAC but feel you want to upgrade, maybe you could wait for the E11?    -edit- Heh, maybe I should've checked the date of the last post.. sorry for the bump!

I'm not sure what an LOD is. I just searched and found Line Out Dock. Looking into it right now, what is their function as far as SQ goes?   It lets you use the Line-out part of your player, and bypass the amp section of the player; the sound is fed directly into your (external) amp...

Oh my RE0's are still in perfect condition, I just want to have both. :P From what I've read around here they are quite different in their presentation, so I'm curious to compare them.

Nice read, I'm glad you like them! I understand from your review that you are not (yet) using a LOD on your player, maybe that would be a good next step. I definitely noticed some improvement (I have the E5 as well).   I currently own the RE0 but could not resist to buy the RE-ZERO's at...

Quote: Maybe that's an older batch you are talking about, since these phones seem to undergo minor changes every now and then. I bought them just a few months ago and the cable looks as solid as any other earphone I have. Sure, they do not compare to the build quality of Etymotics but...

I just put on the larger stock biflange tips, which I had removed instantly when I got the RE0's because I thought they were way too large for my ears.   But with a little practice (and having bought Etymotics in the meantime, and using their triflanges) they fit perfectly now. In...

If you got rid of your previous phones because of muffled sound, you're gonna be in for a treat with the RE0's, they are extremely clear and bright. I can't comment on the S4's, I don't have them. I doubt they do treble better than the RE0's though.

I actually find the cable to be pretty strong, much better than the PL-30, for instance. The strain relief at the plug is huge, feels very durable.

Quote: I love it. Very nice!

Those are all features that come in really handy when DJ'ing. The L-connector is more favorable too make the cable run downwards when you're standing behind a mixer. Additional length is always nice when you're reaching for your records or whatever ;)   Quote:

I've talked a few DJ friends into getting one too.. Their first reaction is always "that thing is ugly, it looks cheap" etc. But once they've used it for a while they are convinced :)

@GeorgeGoodman I actually find the mc5's pretty hard to drive, I have to turn up the volume pretty loud on my classic.. I think an amp (albeit a e3/e5) improves them some.

  iPod Classic 160GB Fiio E3 Etymotic MC5   At first, I was really disappointed with the MC5's, really bad comfort, thin sound... But after a month or so I am really starting to like them more and more.. They are so well designed AND built.. Something I can appreciate being a...

@StevenBrouwer: I'm also from NL and my HD-25's dont have 'Made in Ireland' written on the headband. It says so on the box though. I'm 100% sure they are genuine, so don't worry! And btw the sound leakage with the leather pads is almost zero, as I tend to DJ in my living room @ quite some...

I'm listening to them right now, a techno DJ set I recorded with vinyl (WAV). They sound great, the highs are really nice, comparing to what I've heard before. I really hate sibilance but the PL-30's don't produce any. The detail is nice as well, I can almost hear the needle going through the...

I got them in the mail yesterday. Wow! The first thing that really pops out is the soundstage. I never heard so much roominess in IEMs. Cool. I'm not much of a reviewer, so I'll leave you at that.

I ordered mine 5 days ago from MP4nation, and it still says "processing". Normal?

I've just ordered them from mp4nation after reading a lot of good reviews about them. They ship a free FiiO E3 with it as well! Nice. I've ordered a E5 just a week ago, but oh well ;-) I hope they'll ship soon. I currently own UE Metro-Fi 170, Sony EX-71, Grado SR-60. I guess they will beat...

Overall, a pair of Grado SR-60s would be a very good choice to start with, I think. But, if you are planning to listen to music on-the-go a lot, closed headphones will suit you better. Grado's are 'open' headphones: no sound-isolation and high sound-leakage. Also, I don't think SR-60's...

I have my SR-60's for about three months now, they were a big improvement on my other headphones (Sennheiser 457 and Stanton DJPro 2000). I still like them very much, although I don't listen to them THAT much, because I don't use them on the train. I don't like the idea of other people...
