The bass on the RE0 really depends on where you are coming from. I can see people being satisfied and some people wanting more. Before I got the RE0 I had iem's such as ER6i, E4, E3, etc where my bassiest (if you can call it that) iem was the E4 so I enjoyed it when I had them. If you came from more bassy stuff like what I would imagine the Senn IE series to be or something with a more bassy signature then they probably would not give you the bass you want.

i love the bass, im comming from garbage ear buds and pounding car stereos. i like pounding bass in my living room and my car, not my ear hole. i dont even flick the bass button on the E5 very often at all. i love the definition, the bass is so finite and chizzled into the production. you can single out the instruments with ease as their all so seperatly detailed. listening to songs ive seen in person the sound reproduction just seems so correct and accurate. if you want "fun" go fly a kite, i want to hear what the artist intended for me to hear.

Its nice to know you've got it dead right

I think the mids and highs are slightly smoother and more defined. I'm surprised that they continue to improve with time and use. I thought they settled down after about 200 hours or so. They should be between 500-800 hours now. That's an excessive burn-in period, i think, but any further improvements are welcome. =]

[rant]I forgot what I was listening to earlier today, but the deep low bass was so strong, I felt the low rumble in my jaw joint, lol. I think it was Albinoni's Adagio for Strings and Organ, or some game track. Surprised me a bit that it was out of my ipod rig to boot. My desktop amp/dac is the one with the deeper bass.[/rant]

Ive done over 200 - 300 hrs now and i like how the mid and highs have smoothed out a bit. Im very happy with them now. I dont think there will be much more change to them from here on (unless they break

)

I've came in this thread the other day and said that the Alessandro MS1 were an upgrade over the RE0. Well you can slap me across the face with a salmon because I was out of my god-damn mind. After a couple weeks my MS1 are now collecting dust.

I'm picking up my AD900 from the post-office today so let's see how this one goes ;D

Hi there, just sharing my enthusiasm for the RE0's. Ordered from head direct on saturday evening, arrived in the UK early Tuesday afternoon!
Awesome sound, just listening to John Fahey now,the acoustic guitar on my ksc75's sound very thin now in comparison, and my old Shure se210's sound like...well I wont even go there.
Slightly concerned about how fragile these look ( I didn't recieve the braided version), I've just ordered some pl30's to use at work cos Im worried these delicate jewels wouldn't survive too long in my line of work.

I think this new version is pretty rugged looking (metal case and all)
The braided version was a previous version and was more microphonic from what i've read in some threads.
IMO these IEMs just keep getting better (give them 100 hours or so).

I guess they are more rugged than they look, and such good value I might even order a second pair as backup.
All I need now is a phone than combines the clarity, detail and naturalness of the RE0, the soundstage of the ath ad-700 and the bass impact of the K518dj . Ssslippery slope

same here, except i was concerned about gym use. turns out the PL30 is indeed balanced and transparent/natural in its presentation, BUT, and a big BUT, the lack of clarity and sparkle (in comparison) down right irritates me. I think im going to grab some Radiopaq Classicals (~$45) for the gym on the reccomendation of several well respected members. i cant complain though, i got the PL30 E5 combo, so i saved $8-10 on the amp and got atleast another $10 worth of case and tips which fit the re0. I havent had my RE0s more then 2-3 weeks but they probably have well over 150hrs on them, i dont feel they are particularly dilicate, i just feel taking them to the gym is like gambleing, eventually your going to loose.

You had me worried there. I was thinking about buying the REO. I've had the MS1 as my first "real" headphone and thought they were waaay too bright. My ears thanked me when I quickly sold them.

The RE0's casing will split before breaking. Apply some Krazy glue and it's back in business. Otherwise it's built like a Tank.

The RE0 will definitely please your ears, it's very polite all around.

Where can i buy a pair of these in the uk? I've tried the head-direct website but for some reason when i try to open it my browser crashes.

 

[semisight]

Try a different browser? They ship international with good rates too.

 

[maniac2003]

Shipping was $10,- to The Netherlands, UK should not difference much.
