Your help is not required in this instance because I now have the RE262, Cowon J3 and Headstage Arrow and am in audio heaven doing a little dance like a monkey on double espresso.   Thanks for reading this though.  Good luck in your adventure.

How can I improve my portable setup's SQ?   primary source: Cowon D2+ (Rockboxed) backup source: Sansa Fuze (unmodded w/no LOD) audio files: 320 and FLAC primary IEM: RE0 secondary IEM: Hippo VB tertiary IEM: ER6i amplifier: none   Why do I want an upgrade? I greatly enjoy...

 I want to look for an IEM to drive with my cowon J3 directly, without an amp.   Sound quality wise, I have no problem on the ath-m50 other than the narrow sound stage and in my opinion, a little recessed mids. I like the m50 bass-wise. Although I sometimes wish it could extend lower.   ...

As the title says, Im looking for a pair of earphones that shines with female vocals, that captures the heart of their voice. Ofcourse this varies since they all sing at a different pitch. But you get the idea. Im listening to artists like Emilia Torrini, Laura Veirs and Regina spektor...

Hi, First of all i have AKG K330 and it broke.. Then i bought AKG K701 which was unfortunately hard to be carried around. So i was wondering to buy a nice IEM. My music taste are like.... umm i can't explain but i have the link here (more like i don't know the type)  ...

RE-262 vs SM3: Natural vs Neutral?     **Warning: These are my subjective (and maybe slightly insane) opinions**     Accessories and Build Quality   The SM3 is quite Spartan when compared to the RE-262, but the RE-262 isn’t a treasure chest either.  Both come with spare tips, and...

What the title says.   I bought a pair of re-262 and want to pair them with a decen,sub-100$ amp   My main concern is whether the amp is in good synergy with the 262 , as these IEM's tend to be more focused on the mid/bass area   Therefore a very bassy/warm amp isn't what i am...

Are these actually available for purchase right now? I can't seem to find them anywhere.. some people metioned they were only sold with the 602 but I can't even find that deal on their site..

Folks- Looks like RE-0 can be bought only from head-direct.com? Any experience buying from head-direct.com?   And head-direct.com does not *seem* to be a well made website.. Is that any indication of the products that they make too? :-)   I also see Head-Direct RE0 and HiFiman RE-ZERO...

The plug isn't the right-angle L-shaped plug shown in all the pictures of the early reviews.  I'm not sure if they were revised after the prototypes.  Mine are slightly curved.    

Hello!   I have used a pair of Klipsch Image S4 for about a year now and i have been pretty happy with them. A few weeks ago i started to have some problems with the cable and now one of the speakers wont work at all. So im looking for a new pair of earphones.   I really enjoyed the...

Hi , l've been doing heaps of research here and have narrowed down my choices to these iem's. To me they are all roughly around the same purchase price...the hje900 here in oz is expensive..the rest listed l can buy from OS so relative to that. l'm just running an ipod 4g and soon an iphone4...

I found this picture of the new RE262 prototype at In Ear Matters. Looks like it may be the more conventional style IEM with a bit of a molded extrusion. Not sure, but does that look like a port on the end of the extrusion ? Even more so could it be a "screw on port" ie: for different bass...

First, I’ll like to thanks Head-Direct for the review sample. Also I’ll like to point out that this particular RE262 is part of the HifiMan HM602 bundle so it is from an early production. The final product will be the same, but with better printing and logo on the box. The final retail price of...

Yep, I said finished!  You heard right.  Everything's done.  In case you looked back a ways, pretty much everything's new since a week ago.  What was up previously was revised or reworked, so it's mostly new content.  Read, take a break, read, nap, read some more, and comment when you're...

  Introduction   HifiMan has become well known around here as providing high quality products while being huge bang for your buck products. The RE262 was announced in May of 2010 for Canjam 2010. Having heard the RE0 and RE-Zero and enjoying those two earphones from HifiMan I was very...

I have got a HifiMan package, the RE-262 canalphones and HM-601 portable player, meant as a review combo. I have had them for about a week, forming impressions by using them in combination, separately with other gear, and meeting a friend audiophiles who has heard quality gear in the portable...

Hi,   I am using RE-252 and RE-262 with 801 and 602 and would like to replace them with IEMs with more bass and better extension on top ...   I listen to mostly Jazz, Classical, Acoustic, Vocals, etc.   I prefer uncolored, neutral and transparent sound and I would consider buying a...

****Note**** As always, these are strictly my opinions. I try to present these products as honestly as possible and try to describe them as best as possible. As always, YMMV. ****NOTE****   The Hifiman RE-262     SPEC’S:   ·         Driver Unit         9mm ·        ...

Hi, I am looking for the best IEM available for ~$100. I understand that there many options, but here are my specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears...

Over the past few days I've been obsessing over trying to find the perfect pair of IEM's within my budget (~$150-200 MAX). I'm upgrading from a lousy pair of Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds and have absolutely no experience venturing into semi-audiophile IEM's. I've been considering Klipsch Image S4 (I...
