I feel that UE600 sounds more natural with better timbre accuracy, especially in the midrange. The highs are somewhat more refined on RE262 and perhaps more extended, but sound a little metallic compared to UE600. UE600 is just a tad peaky in the treble at times though, bt only with very few recordings, so I can forgive this easily. The bass is great on both and RE262 may have an edge in detail, but UE600 offers a more satisfying punchy while maintaining great quality. Dynamic range is better on RE262, but UE600 is still fine this respect. Soundstage sounds more 3 dimensional to me on the UEs with stronger imaging than on RE262s. Overall, I give the edge to UE600, but RE262 does sound better with some music and will undoubtedly fit many people's tastes better due to a smoother, more rounded sound vs. dryer, more precise sound of the UEs that reveals recording flaws more readily.
UE600 over the RE262s?
