i already have RE-272 and e-q5 but if they do sth like this i will buy a 2nd pair of 252 asap

(i really liked them when i had them)

If they put the RE252 driver inside the RE272 housing, use 7N silver cables, and sell it for $129, we have a winner.

I think the RE272/262's housing looks even cheaper than the RE-Zero one, those will go for 50 cents with a crap driver. RE0 has an adhesive problem, but that could be resolved, matter of fact the Zero lacks this issue fwir. Still, Something like the Xcape v1 housing will be ideal.

Who else besides me still owns these little gems? I dug mine out of my drawer just earlier this morning, and have been enjoying them since. They never seem to get old.

used to own them but one day they went dead
 
i had 262 also at that time and i have to say i enjoyed 252 much more than 262
 
i now have 272 and i am fine having a nice neutral-analytical iem around
 
extra plus on the 272 , their 3-year warranty

I do, and I also pulled them out last night and just tossed them in (had been awhile). Reaction: God damn these are some great IEMs. Super comfortable and great sounding at low levels. I am so happy to own a pair.
 
That is all. Heh

I have just recently got a pair of 252's myself, and well I just love their overall sound. Neutral & a delight to listen to , dont need any amping also sound great at low listening.
These are keepers.

oooh now there is a question......... im asking the guys in China to see if we have any laying about but i wouldnt hold my breath. actually im not even sure if my old pair still works but i hope they do. the 252 was unique, nothing has quite matched its spacial presentation to date that i know of.
