Received my 262 and I have listened to them for about 9-10 hours now. For a total of around 25 hours to burn them.
I know I have to play music on them more hours to have better benefits. However, so far, I hate these IEM. The reason is simple: I will have to re-encode all my music!!
Half of my music is encoded in 128kbps and the other half is a mix of 320 and Apple lossy codec from iTunes.
Can sounds weird but I'm able to hear more sounds in these IEM compared to my klipsch S3 that is all around base. And since a lot of my music is ripped from my CDs collection with average kbps, then the sound is average as well.
But, when I listen to some pink floyd that I re-encoded in Apple lossless coded, wow! Re-262 has way less bass and I'm far from being an expert but they must be in the neutral section of IEMs. Can't remember who said giutars are very good but even with 10 useage, I have to say this is true.
So since bass is not very pronounced, then all industrial music I listen simply sucks on these. It's eve better on my klipsch S3!
Also, I have hard time trying all the tips to fit in my ears. I've been able to replace the bigger bi-flange tips with the smaller ones but the smaller ones are still too big and I can't push them far away in my ears to my taste. About the mono-flange tips, I am simple unable to put them around the IEM. Their hole is smaller and it looks impossible to fit them.
Also, About the cables that come with the IEM. There are 3 and have no idea what are their utility
TRRS to TRS: black
TTRS to TTRS: grey
TTRS to TRS(L/R reversed): white
*TTRS: Balanced headphone connector 4 pin
TRS: regular 3 pin headphone connector
Does that mean that if I only use the white one, I will get more balanced sound?
