Thanks! Just what I needed to know.

Just got some S4's, but I think I'm going to order the RE0's and compare to see which ones I like better.

Ah...fantastic. I must have missed this before. I've been going through your post history and see you're exactly the user I've been searching for. Going through your postings now...

Thanks!! I've got a pair of Super.Fi 5 v2's from Fry's now, but am just about dead set on the RE0's. Tonight I saw a comparison of the soundstage from Ety ER6i to RE0 and that sealed the deal. Time to start researching tips and stuff.

Looks like I'll get in on the $99 and the new cable + 90 degree cord too! I know it's been asked before, but does anyone have an ETA on shipping time for these?

I ordered on a Tuesday night (MN) and they were at my door on Saturday afternoon.

Hmm, I'm interested in upgrading from my Ety ER6s, similar to Jodiuh. I've been considering the Ety Hf5s, Klipsch S4s and also the RE0s. The reports of mediocre isolation is rather discouraging...

Good to hear! Must of been one of those super camels.

I think I may very well be happier w/ a wider soundstage IEM like the IE8, but at what cost? At more than 2.5x the price, I'm not so sure it's worth it.

Fantastic - very smooth, detailed, clear, full, accurate...

nice, i guess the only dilemma will be in the bass department. Even though I don't care that much for bass, i'm afraid they may be too distant. Has anyone tried these with the e5, with the bass boost on?
