After a day of burning in. The bass seems a little mellowed, but still enough. The mids and highs are still on par wth the 400s.
The biggest advantage is the fit. The 400 always needed some adjustment to be perfect. These stay put.
The cord on these are a little stiff though. I hope that improves.
I'm using just an iPhone 6 for these btw

Just got my used pair in, after comparing with pictures these don't have any left/right markings, so going to use my red/blue tips from my sold Dunu dn-k to keep track. Man, these things have tiny housings.

Time to run them off my X5 and see the result.

I hate to admit it, but this might outdo my VSD3.

I just got the white ones in. eBay guy said the blacks are 16ohm and the white are 32. He's sold out of both. I was going to return them for the blacks, but I'm starting to like the white and the sound is amazing. They sound identical to my re400s with a digizoid. The fit is much better. I threw on larger rubber and they stay in much better than my 400s.
I'm looking forward to my commute tomorrow.

Whoa.
Looking forward to your final impressions

Coming Soon:

Designed for music lovers on-the-go, HIFIMAN RE300h with Advanced OCC cabling sets the standard for others to follow.
 

 
Looks like there was a 'hifi' version after all. Wonder if the 'Advaced OCC' cable significantly changes the sound
 

  I was just watching Steve Rochlin's official coverage of Canjam 2014. dr. Fang (Hifiman) appears in the video (~11 minutes in).
 
Anyway, he mentions the new RE-300, and says "...which have three versions. The iphone version, the hifi version and also the android version".
The "hifi" version isn't on head-direct,and I wonder if it is a better sounding version or it's just a mic-less version.

re-300i and re-300a are now available on Amazon in both colors. Just placed an order for re-300i in black. I need a decent pair of iems with inline controls and since Sennheiser is taking forever to make the iphone version of in ear momentums available, I pulled the trigger on these.

So is the 300h supposed to sound better or something? I'm kinda stuck on which version to buy.
 
The only difference in the specs is that the 'h' is 16ohms, vs the 32ohms of the i/a. Will that make a huge difference?

 

[Baroninkjet]

Email them and ask. I have always found them very supportive. I ordered the "i" version tonight also. 
 
p.s. All the specs look a little different.

And a slightly improved frequency response . 
In the technical sense, the impedance would affect performance of the 300h(good/bad way) if the output impedance of the player is >2
 
I guess, for now, it comes down to whether you absolutely need a mic or not. If sound quality is the only consideration, then we may have to wait for reviews comparing the two.

 They have 30 day returns I believe (but double check), if you want to swap.

I'm glad Hifiman releases sonically sound earphones, but would it kill them to hire a someone who won't create the most generic designs ever?

 

[Baroninkjet]

I tried to get an answer from them via email of the difference between h and i... and thus far have come up empty.

@HouseOfDoom has ordered the re300h, and he as previously owned the re300i/a.
So we might get an idea regarding sonic differences.

Just to clarify, these are cable down iems right? My ears don't get along with most over ear styles :/

If I'm not mistaken, yes, they are designed to be worn with cable down.
