RE0s have a VERY detailed presentation; they reveal the good with the bad, whether it's microphonics, computer noise, power or connection issues

I hope is was just the positioning of the tips in my ears that cause it and hope it wasn't the RE0s. These intermittent things can be a bitch sometimes.

It does sound like a connection thing, and I've tried jiggling every plug with no result. I've decided that it's only when listening on the PC so I'm just going to accept it and maybe do a few more experiments but assume the headphones aren't defective. I've had them hooked up to the PC a lot for burning in but most of my listening will be via iPod so it's okay.

The plug on the RE0 kind of sucks... even when it's pushed all the way in, it can cut audio out sometimes.

So I found a nice album for the REO... the Braveheart soundtrack sounds very cool.

What, shiz uses bravehart too. i hate and loath that film. if mel ever goes back to stirling im sure hed get lynched in the streets

If we're talking about albums, I think that the Metal Gear Solid 4 original soundtrack sounds fantastic on my RE0s. Probably the most impressive thing I've listened to with them so far.

I was very disappointed how the following song sounds on RE0. RE0 sounds too flat and uninvolving here, unable to portray all of the wonderful dynamics that this recording possesses. My Ortofon e-Q7 plays this piece way, way better! Not sure what the problem is. Perhaps RE0 just needs more juice.

I still can't pick tips, the bi flange reveal the highs and mids beautifully but there is almost no bass at all. The black tips give it a more balanced sound but IMO it does loose some of the sparkle that makes the REO sound so good. They have about 25-30 hours of burn in, is the bass really going to change that much?

Calm down man, just saying the music made for the film sounds good.

Give it some time with the black tips. IMO they're the best silicone tips I've tried yet all around. No tip will actually mask clarity, just reduce treble. If you get used to them you'll hear it all again (I promise

).

 

[kshelton]

I don't agree sorry. I used the black tips for many hours and they make the highs and mids sound pretty average, but that is just my ears.

 

[semisight]

To each his own I guess. Have you tried sony hybrids?

 

[grahamnp]

I use the black tips pushed all the way up over the silver part of the nozzle. This gives me a better seal and the best SQ.
