Actually I have no detail about the 242 (in fact, haven't seen one before this thread), but 262 and 272 will be officially launched soon AFAIK. Judging from the price point, it seems to be more of a lower end product compared to the other two.
If the RE272 can match what the RE262 can do, but add a little more presence to the treble and possibly a little more impact in the bass, it'll be very hard to resist.
The RE242 looks interesting, if it follows in line with what hifiman has been putting out, it may make the perfect backup pair of IEMs.
I should have a 272 tomorrow, it's sitting in a parcel from Fang at Danish DHL office because I was not home when they tried to deliver Friday. In the parcel is also HE-4. These are demo goodies for the Danish meet on March 26th together with HM-601 and HM-602 that Fang has sent me earlier. Much appreciated
I previously tried the 262 and thought it one of the best universals available so will be interesting to see how the 272 performs. I have no idea about the pricing.
BTW. am just upgrading the firmware on both players, new firmware became available on the Head-Direct site yesterday. Don't know what has changed in this release
