Is The Hifiman re262 and re272 discountinued once and for all ?

[Minijim]

Hello people,
 
It is my birthday today and I wanted to offer me new in-ears .
 
Months ago, I discovered the re262 but can not afford em but now I can but it's impossible for me to find it on head-direct.
 
Can someone tells me, how/where to purchase them ? If not, which in-ears are the most popular for about 100-150$ ?
 
Thank you guys for your answer.
 
Have a good day/night/evening .

i do believe they completely discontinued the se262/272 for the re-400-re-600 so you more than likly only be able to get them second hand.

Oh !! What a shame
 
Have you some good advices for equivalent ?

I purchased my re262 off of amazon but it seems like they are no longer in stock. However, the re272 is available but there is only 1 left in stock.
 
EDIT: the 262 is available on a website called crutchfield but I've never heard of them so be wary.

Crutchfield is one of the most reputable sites I have ever dealt with.  I've bought thousands of dollars worth of equipment through them and never had an issue. Their customer service is also superb.  I wouldn't worry anything about placing the order through them.  Generally they are not the cheapest option though.

Fair enough, but for the re262, they are the ONLY option.

I sent a mail to AudioAdvisor about the "demo" meaning.
 
I come back to the GR07. Does it sound warner than the RE272  RE262?

NOS= New Old Stock

 

[Minijim]

I got their answer. It seems the RE262 is out of stock for the moment but will re-supply since I place my order.
 
What I it and now waiting for news but I feel that they are trustable.
 
But I still wondering about the GR07.
 
MAJ: Got some news: they do not ship HiFiMan products to France .

I don't want to make the deals of HiFiMan look too transparent, but the RE-Zero, RE-0, RE-262 and RE-272 are replaced by the RE-400. I do not mean that the RE-400 do better than the old models, but now they are the onliest HiFiMan available IEM.
And as I remember, the old models became discontinued on 25th of October, previous year, and this means that no more supply has been granted to the distributors.
