Thanks! I'll wait just a bit for the 600 and resulting reviews. I'll also look at a HM-801.

fielding , i have the 272 and i am also waiting for the re-600 to come out

a 400$ hifiman iem = sounds like a wallet killer

If what I read is true and  the re-600 takes the fluid signature of the re-400  "... and yields more space, more definition, and a more relaxed mid-band...", or "... more/better bass, more refined highs and overall clarity..." ... I have no doubt they will sound superb.  I just can't wait for reviews, need to start the burn in process ASAP

At around $400.00? Whoa. 

 But I see other universal brands introducing models at around a grand! 

 . There you have it - Rationalization at work! Suddenly, the RE-600 are very affordable ....

just curious, i ordered my re-400's today and i was wondering if they respond well to amping or not. thinking about buying a cmoy but maybe it's an unnecessary expenditure given that i only use iem's other than my sennheisers i use for the xbox.

I don't think the CMoy is going to improve much if anything at all, if you're using a decent device.

i'm using a rockboxed clip zip. not sure what difference that makes. i know it's a pretty decent sounding little player and that's why i got it.

should be good - wouldn't worry about needing extra amping!

 

[sofastreamer]

right. i cannot tell a difference between re400 connected to the following: iphone 5 macbook --> e7 clip+

It's pointless to hook up amps/DACs unless you have stunning gears (i.e. at least around 400+) or **** DAPs. This is from experience.

Please tell that to my $15 Koss KSC75s.

But yeah, I tried re400 through my j3->arrow 4g. No noticeable difference without amp.

These sound excellent straight through my Macbook and iPhone. I might hook them up to my Leckerton out of curiosity, but I definitely don't need to.

I'm probably going to be picking up a set of RE-400's as a replacement for my dying UE 700's, but I wonder whether I should wait for the RE-600's and invest that extra $300. I was going to do that with the UE 900's so maybe I should do that with these guys.

I should be able to get my hands on a pair of RE-600s...  I have a 400 and UE 900 on hand already

What are they doing on your hands? They belong in your ears, silly.

On a serious note, any idea as to when that might be? It's not me who needs to know. My wallet's asking. I promise.
