LOL, worse than awful!! I let them "burn-in" for 2-3 days, and they sounded like a Bose with cotton balls stuck in the tubes -- I binned 'em pretty quickly. But I've been using the leather case and tips for several months now!

I do find the tin slightly tight. I wrap the cable around four fingers and put it in the tin. The cable comes out with some kinks and such but I just run two fingers down the cable and that straightens it out mostly. I have the updated RE0 with the cloth cord.
*I fixed my video, I have no idea what I was thinking when I put "Strain Relief."

after all the thinking from nuforce ne-7m, klipsch image s4, phonak pfe, jvc fx-500 i think these earphones are best value for 99$, plus i have the satisfaction of knowing the store is in US just in case i need the warranty..
hopefully they will be a noticeable improvement over my lost super .fi 3 studio (for which i ordered 10$ replacement from dailysteals.com yesterday
)
thank you head-fi members for all your reviews and comments..

Ouch, I just bought the RE0 myself aswell. Hope thats going all right. I was just wondering, how do they handle the orders. I find it quite strange that u don't have to make an account. When u want to buy something U just have to pay and thats it ? :S I haven't gotten a confirmation yet.

Same with me. I just ordered and paid. Confirmation email with tracking number came next day. Tracking was visible on DHL page after 2 days. 5 business days later it was delivered.

Mines at customs now according to the tracker, not sure how the package is marked or if I will have to pay any sort of custom fee though (should arrive tomorrow)

Well after thinking about stepping into the world of upper-end IEMs for a while, I happened to see the link advertising the $99 Summer sale at the top of the forum page.
After reading a fair chunk of this thread (too many "my RE0's are on the way....there at the post office....waiting for me when I get home" BTW) I decided this was a good time and a good product to try.
Most of the posters here are using the Fiio amps. Has anyone heard the RE0's through a Music Max LT1 ?
