    HifiMan RE252 Appreciation Thread

    For my ears OK1 has more detail and spaciousness but you do not get the isolation that you get with the RE252. Yesterday I compared in an airplane trip the isolation of the RE252, ER4P/S and Westone E3X. ER4P/S are the ones that isolate the most but they have their sound profile and some...

    HifiMan RE252 Appreciation Thread

    Answering to the question by prone2phone, the scenario is wide and deep. Concerning the mixed reviews comment by Inks, I could not take the Triple Fi 10 Pro or the Shure e500 and others were very fond of them. So this is the variety of life. Best

    HifiMan RE252 Appreciation Thread

    AT the moment I only use these over the Westone 3 and E3X. I had previously the Triple Fi 10 Pro, the Shure e500 and I still own the Etys E4P/S and RE0. I carry in the some pouch the Westone E3x and the Re252 and I constatntly pick up the RE252. The RE252 are comfortable to my ears and...

    New In Ear Monitor (IEM) HIFIMAN RE 252. Preliminary Impressions

    Let me try to answer the different questions. Some people like more bass than others. I like the bass just right. These IEMs have the right bass for me. When I used the Fiio E5 they had more bass. I have also used other amplifiers such as a Diablo (that works) and a Minibox E+ and...

    New In Ear Monitor (IEM) HIFIMAN RE 252. Preliminary Impressions

    I have been able to test the new IEMs HiFiMan RE 252 from Head-Direct. The first impression was that the separation of instruments was great. The scenario, at least to my ears, is as wide as that of UM3X. Using them directly from the an IPod 5.5 audio jack they have less bass...

    Grado Drivers NOT Available!

    Hello: I do not why the post by Picodeloro got such a harsh answer by Todd. Picodeloro is a DIYer very honest and he is not trying to make a profit bloodsucking anybody. As he pointed out it is just a hobby. He si just an electronics and sound fanatic that showed his work to us...

    A DAP to go with unamped PK1-s

    I have used the PK1s with several Ipod nano, 5.5 Ipod and a sony A818 and D2 and they are able to drive them. Of course if you amp them they will reach a higher sound level and depending on the amp you may get more details and space. But you can use them unamped.

    I have the Triple Fi 's and they are wonderful. I am testing now the RE1 from head-direct and they are woth giving them a try. Regards

    Q-Jays vs. Sleek SA6s?

    I have both and my ears prefer the qjays sound signature. May be the SA6 will isolate more in a very noisy environment. have you considered the RE1 from Head-direct? These will need an amp to shine but they can be used also without it. The sound stage and detail that they deliver is...

    Has anyone else been really disapointed with the q-Jays?

    I found the qJays very good. I have compared them with: SA6, e-500, E4P, Triple Fi 10 Pro, RE1 plus PK1 and Ok1 and the qJay sound very exciting. It will all depend on your kind of music, source, amp (or not) and the compression of your files. Our ear are different so...
