Yeah if 24 bit is on the money, the Pro really doesn't sound like it's all that similar to the R2A at all

To be honest i dont think the differences are as minute as some reviews make them out to be. I mean they arent twice asghood thats for sure, but at the prices i dont see the improvements as being overpriced.

did u have a chance to listen to the R2A as well? How much of a difference did you hear when trying them out?

 

[WCDchee]

Ive heard all the models, and as of now i have the pros and a couple of r2a's on hand. They are as most reviews point out, slightly kore spacious sounding, but less detailed and refined. The midrange can be a tad hollow compared the r2pros and the highs are peakier and less refined.

Lucky Thanks for the comparison.

maybe it depends on what type of music was used for the review as well. Example, for classical music it might make for more discernible changes vs rock or EDM.

R2A can be a bit hollow in the mids and a bit peaky then?
Tamed my excitement somewhat...

Are we talking kickstarter price gap or standard retail price gap?

I think the two price gaps are similar in terms of how much more the Pro costs compares to the R2A, just over 2 times as much I think

Bear in mind that this is with silicone tips. Things are a bit different with complys

To be fair i think both iems are competitive at their retail price

How is female vocals on the R2A? And to lesser extent.. R2Pro...?

Meaning theyre significant enough to me. You dont have to listen out for differences.

Even if you don't know which is which?

As a student, dropping 200 quid on the R2PRO seemed like too big of a gamble for something I'm not able to audition myself before purchasing. The 79 quid for the R2A was the limit of my comfort zone for such purchases. While Flare's explanation of the differences between the R2 models may seem theoretically sound, whether the improvements are audible and / or significant to our individual ears in reality is another question. That being said, I hope everyone will be genuinely impressed by whatever R2 model(s) they've purchased. It won't be long now for those of us, especially in the UK.
