So people that prefer bass and that boom like a woofer would prefer dynamics over armatures? and people that prefer armatures like the sound quality and treble?
So pretty much: Dynamics: Hip-hop/dance music Armatures: Acoustic/Classical I'm i correct?
 
Quote:

Remember that the two dynamics are hardly different from a multi-armature setup in that each driver does a specific thing. Yes, dynamics can have a larger range than armatures but in the DDM's case, one does the lows and one does the highs, making the extension point moot.
 
It's entirely down to sound signature preference, not technical ability. Dynamics will sound like dynamics and armatures will sound like armatures. Dynamics have tangible rumble in the bass and warmth, and armatures are accurate, clear, and simply sound different.

So is the RE0 obsolete now? Because nobody is comparing them to these more expensive headphones. And we know in the headphone world, more expensive does not necessarily mean better.

Well i haven't heard the RE0, but i've seen many talk about them. They probably aren't compared to the more expensive earphones, because they are in a different tier by price. The RE0 probably would be the best in the under $100 tier. There are way too many new earphones now. Comparing expensive earphones to expensive IEM makes sense, then comparing a expensive IEM to a lower tier earphone. There's review and many other IEM by ljokerl

Not entirely. It's hard to tie an IEM to a specific genre. Some might love a BA with hip-hop and etc.
It's simply a different presentation. It's entirely up to the person which they prefer.

Isn't that what music all about. Everyone has a different preference for music. Thats why there's different genres. I guess ill have to try both of them and choose 1 xD

I would argue that dynamic drivers have better bass than balanced armatures... and that treble extension is better... and that the midrange if more full... and that your music won't be sterile, dead, or otherwise uninvolving.

JVC FX500 if you want lots of quality deep bass + very good string instrument reproduction.

According to the review Radius DDM has far superior Bass and string instrument reproduction.

Not really. I got Ortofon eQ7's now. But really, to the Average Joe, fit is a very key make-or-break issue.
