My R2A's broke two days ago, what's the quickest way to go around getting a replacement?

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with your R2's if you are in the UK / Europe them Amazon is your best option. If you are outside these areas please contact me at paul@flareaudio.com

  I listen to a lot of classical symphonic music (e.g. Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Sibelius, Mahler, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Stravinsky etc.) with my R2A and I'd say that it does a fantastic job at presenting the music with good balance and clarity, provided that you feed it enough power (especially current, since the R2 earphones generally have relatively low sensitivity). The setup you mentioned should do the job. I like to pair mine with my X5 & E12DIY combo.
 
I agree. The R2A can really tell you how well the music has been recorded / mastered. Also I find that it presents quite well the sound stage of the music as it was recorded, especially in orchestral recordings where engineers have so many different strategies for positioning mics.

Great to know. 
I believe I made the right choice. Ordered a pair from Amazon, due to the bureaucracy of the Custom, I'd be happy if I can have them in Beijing in time for a New year's gift.

The R2 Pros are the flattest earphones I own. I'm considering writing and mixing music soon so could I get away with using my R2 Pros for this purpose? I'd rather not buy another pair of headphones at the moment and studio monitors wouldn't be ideal either since I'm living in a dorm for the next 4 months.

So....got my replacement cable, but it doesn't come with any instructions on how to install, any ideas guys? I don't want to get the old drivers stuck?

Very simple. Just unscrew the caps. Pry up the O-ring, then slide the drivers out. Install the new drivers in the same way the old one was installed so study how it looked inside after unscrewing.

I used a plastic toothpick - but anything with a soft blunt end - to gently push the drivers out of the housing. Though it shouldn't really matter as the old cable etc are broken anyway.

where can you buy a speaker or a cable replacement? or not possible?

I always found pictures of multiple angles works best

Read the description: 01 = no mic, 03 = with mic, A = with cuff, B = no cuff.

 

[myemaildw]

[Paul Pabs]

The R2 are fantastic for this, I now use mine over my studio monitors to really get inside the track / mix
