I meant, with a good source/amp, the 252s really shine. Way better then the ipod headphone out and ipod w/ portable amp

maybe my ears are the perfect size for the 252 but i find the little gel arm things super comfortable. only thing is i need to try more tips to find something that goes in farther. i feel its not in enough but sounds good enough. but yea id admit, it does look rather silly.

Everyone seems to say they either don't fit well at all or, they fit comfortable but don't go in far enough. I just think it was silly of them to design it so that it won't work for some ears. I wish they had made it with a more normal design. I considered trading my HD25 to joker for the RE252 at one point but that is what stopped me. The RE0 has so many fans on here. I think if they had designed it with a more normal encasement many people would upgrade from the RE0.

i agree with you kshelton. for their "flagship" iem, they should have considered things and maybe tried out this design on a lower cost IEM.
