Do you have a source for the V-Moda tips?

quick question - anyone else getting seriously tripped up (re: frustrated) by the insanely sticky chord the newer re0s come with?? These are my first pair of IEMs and I find it rather comical that I'm essentially required to sit completely still because if I move even a muscle the chord catches to some part of me, causing the seal to break (even if only by a little) which totally throws off the grove!

Solutions, thoughts and/or condolences appreciated

Sticky cord?? Is there a film on the jacket, or something? My cord isn't sticky at all...

I'm using the Re0 in the gym, and so far, those tips just keep breaking the seal. I'm already missing the yellow E4 foamies, those had a perfect fit the entire workout

Use them on your RE0. I use my old Shure tips on my RE0 and they're far better than the stock tips.

So, from my point of view, their "sale" strategy is to sell a less quality product for the lower price than for the higher one, and call it a sale!? I mean the difference between these pairs (packaging, no pouch, non-cloth cords, etc.) and the last 99usd ones.

... but its probably still a good price, isn't it?

BTW, will probably soon buy some iems, for shorter trips, where i do not want to take a bag to put my es7s in

That's a hard call, IMO -- it will probably depend on what part of the ES7 sound sig you like the best. The ES7 was fairly "cool" sounding to my ear -- the mids were fairly recessed to me. The RE0 is very balanced with neither bass, mids or trebles dominating (some people will say the RE0 trebles are dominant because the bass and mids are very controlled), and has a crazy-amazing level of details. The RE0 has the smoothest AND most extended trebles I've ever heard -- a difficult balance to acheive. The RE0 needs about 120+ hours and an amp to start sounding warmer.

The S4 is a very warm sound IEM, to me. IMO, the S4 bass impact and presence exceeds the ES7 bass; trebles might not be as smooth as the ES7, but they are very strong as well. But the S4 warmness is a contrast to the ES7 coolness, in my book.

How do these re0s compare to the ie8s? Different/smaller/larger sound sig? More/less bass?

RE0 has less upper bass than IE8 and thus a more linear and balanced low end response. IE8 portrays the lowest sub bass better, but RE0 is no slouch either and can do 30-40 Hz without any problems. Some people even claim that RE0 can go below 30 Hz, but I cannot hear such low frequencies, so I can't confirm. Bass quality is great on RE0 - the lows are highly detailed, tight and punchy when the fit is right. IE8 has tighter bass, but RE0 is sufficiently tight. Overall, I think both are really great. IE8 also has better dynamics, more texture/micro-detail, and a bigger soundstage while RE0 has better, cleaner treble.
