Yes that sounds like what I want, Endless. I used to be big on bass, but I want the lyrics to take center stage now.

Something in the RE0 range would be nice..like around 100. I'm not a huge basshead to be honest.

It seems like the RE0 is the best deal possible in IEMs, but I'm not so sure how they'd do for rap. Any recommendations?

I would say either go HD600 or HD650

I've heard the re0 is better

Anyone else who has heard both? Mine are recabled but they still have a weird tonality. Maybe it's just the Ultrasone sound I don't like

How long are they going to be 79 bucks for? Is that a limited time deal?

Rock and hard rock? Get the Grado sr225

Right now I'm using a udac connected to a hifiman ef2, but I've heard that the 780 does better with solid states.

What wins?

Eh..If you're not using an amp, I've heard the 750s are disappointing. A good portable would be the ES9WA

Well then how do you explain a phone like the HFI 780, where a recable CLEARLY improves the sound?

Not much appreciation ITT

Hfi 780, ahd2000, etc. Do they just pour all of the money into the drivers or what?

I got the upgraded raytheons

How well do the 2 sound together?

Eh there's not really any 300 range headphones that will do great without amping. I'd req the Shure 440 for that, which is only around 90 or 100 bucks.

I still feel like my HFI 780 sounds better when I just use the udac instead of combining the two. I really don't understand it.

Was looking to get these for gym phones, and I saw the Kramer Mod. Do you have to have a drill in order to perform this mod? All I have really is an exacto knife.
