Sorry, no way I would wear those regardless of how good they sound. The crap I would take at the office would be horrendous. Those look like they were designed to appeal to a 7 year old girl.

The other included pair is black, plus this pair actually stands out vs the standard issue coloration of so many other headphones. Perhaps find someone to split costs?

Now that is some cringeworthy imagery B9!

However I think in black including black headband they would look fine.

So, I wanted to buy RE400 on joybuy. First it bugged with the coupon saying that I've used it while I clearly didn't, but even when I wanted to buy it without it, on the page where I am supposed to enter credit card numbers, it changes shipping address, it puts 888888 in the Province part... what in the world.

Also happened in my case. :-/
Ordered anyway. Checking the order details afterwards, the address seems correct. Ah well, let's wait and see...

Just got my Headroom Ms16 which are open earbuds. These really surprised me. They definitely have a bit of soundstage. I prefer them to my Monk Plus. These are slightly mid centric profile, they are definitely leaning towards bass and mids. I am really surprised they seem to have exceptional clarity and detail for a $7 open back earbuds. They have a spacey and airy sound. I would highly recommend these as an alternative to the Monk Plus. I personally bought the Monk Plus and never touched them after some sessions, just wasn't for me. These I think rival them pretty well. They are not the best per se, but at around $7 they definitely punch above their weight.

These are actually great for edm, funk, disco, and hip hop and specially rock. Several tracks that shine on these:
Baccara - Yes, sir I can boogie.
Jamiroquai - Starchild,
Maniac - Michael Sembello,
T.I. - How life changed.
Ice Cube - It was a good day.
MF Doom - Doomsday.
Bou Yah - Busy signal.
Drake - Passion fruit ( these shined in this). The Cranberries - Zombie ( These shined I incredibly ),
nightwish - wish master.

Overall I think these do scale with recordings. In some they're so crisp and clear and some are just a bit off, I think it might have to do with mixing. The only issue I found is in the mids, the mids sometimes can seem shouty and sometimes airy whispery and sometimes distant. Again I think this is per recording as in some songs they shine and some they feel off.
I would definitely recommend these as an alternative to the Monks Plus!!

P.S. for a bonus my favorite track: Pendulum - The Island pt. 1 actually sounded great. Usually that track sounds like sht on bright headphones, and sometimes isn't reproduced great in some others. These have great retrieval, for example was listening to Pendulum - FKA Twigs, these almost scared me since there are some sounds in the background that came through with great detail and I thought someone was knocking on something.

Auglamour is preparing another flagship for the early 2018, RT-3. Apparently tuning is finished and it is a multi driver, probably a hybrid like RT-1 with additional BA driver or something along those lines.

Is the RT-1 even actually out yet?

Sorry for the bad picture but i just gotta show more love for this.

I actually didn't have high hopes at all initially for this. I was proven wrong now i guess. The cable itself is already good enough to put KZ's stock to shame. It's soft yet it feels thick and durable and it isn't springy / sticky nor is it microphonics too.

Haven't have much time on it yet but initial impressions this is more towards smooth and balance sounding with ample amount of bass that's tight and deep without bleeding into midrange, treble that's only bright when it should with good extension. Very smooth and coherent sounding overall, i think they really did a good job in the crossover

Thought it would be rubbish actually but turns out to be an underdog.
