I was about to say something similar to the post by ClieOS. Also keep in mind that if it did beat RE0 it wouldn't be too smart of a thing to do esp since RE262 is supposed to be released sometime this month. From the time it was announced I got two things out of it. It was meant more for portable use than the RE0. The RE0 needs an amp to shine where I'm assuming the Zero does not. The other was that it was going to have a balanced plug.
Some head-fi members here do not like carrying an amp for portable use (one such member is me) and having something more suited for portable use would definitely be better. I pretty much expected similar quality to RE0 from the get go anyway. The RE0 is hard to beat and I have yet to own an iem that is a complete upgrade over it. I own more expensive iem's where I consider the total package an upgrade but there are areas where the RE0 is still hard to be matched.
