Heya all,
I've read through aloooott of reviews on both and i must say they are both very exciting affordable headphones.
Right now I'm using a crossroads quattros and i am loving the punchiness of sounds (if thats how its described, like a bounce on piano notes, maybe its called attack, idk
) and the awesome soundstage.
I'm considering upgrading to either to PFE or the RE0 cause of its affordable price and high end earphone SQ.
over here in singapore , the price for RE0 is 156 sgd with shipping and for the PFEs about 180-190sgd.
I'm a guy who likes to be immersed in the music and am also a very analytical listener, i like to listen for the details in the music, they thrill me. Not really a basshead here but i would like enough bass to feel the "impact" of the music, not the hard thud thuds , but not a complete lack of them as well. What matters to me alot is the mid and high ranges . I like soaring highs , clear mids , attack , seperation and a good soundstage (in which you can sometimes hear the echoes in live music) rather than earphones which have a 2d sound.
I hear that the RE0's soundstage improves with the mod, as well as the highs and mids and that the PFE has a small soundstage, which is not really favourable imo. Are they true? Is the mod on the RE0 more detrimental than helpful?
I need some help in deciding between these two.
Thanks a bunch
-edit- I have an E5 and a derringer amp, but i think i'll want to use the derringer if that matters .
