I have heard the non-balanced prototype version of the RE-272 and they are VERY nice.
 
(I like the sound signature and the balance between a fast and smooth presentation.) 
 
I'm interested in hearing what others think of them...
 
Will do a review in July!

Fang, you are killing me! 

 Please tell me you will have a balance headphone amp module for the HM801, that would be awesome! If so any chance to audition them as a combo?
