RE0 by a mile tbh. UM1's not even in the same class. Also microphonics is fixed by wearing the in-ears over-the-ear.

Do the new cables I've heard of help that in any way? Like I've seen others mention, there doesn't seem to be a review available for the updated version of the RE0.

My question is RE0 vs. PL50...which one to buy to complement my current RE0 / E5 setup?

Can't buy both and don't really mind spending $100, or $55...just want the better IEM.

What's wrong with your current re0? Or is that a typo? Or is there another product sharing that name that I'm not aware of?

The RE0 will blow the PL50 away. Both can punch above their MSRP, but the RE0's is almost 4x that of the PL50. No reason not to go for it if you have the $.

Hello,
From the head-direct site it seems as if the re0 is now actually cheaper then the re1. I find this strange because I amthinking the re0 is the higher end model..... Wouldnt this strategy hurt the sale of the re1? It seems a bit illogical to me.
Greetings, Anouk,

Hello, I need a headphone for mobile use till I can afford and decide on what custom model i want in september or october or so.l I was thinking of getting the hd25-1-ii for the time being because its so sturdy but still small and has the best isolation of any closed phone that I have known although it is not the best sounding nor the most comfortable. I wonder if anyone has heard both the re0 and the hd25-1-ii and can do a comparison? From the iems I have heard the tf10pro and the ie8 were my favourite although the ie8 did not isolate at all for me and I had to turn the volume way up (or at least I wanted to) and this really disturbed me. Soundstage was FANTASTIC though. I was first thinking on settling on a custom tip for the ie8, til i heard about jh audio.
Oh yes, i prefer iems that you can insert deeply into the ear canal, i wonder if you can do this with the re0? I found the westone w3 a bit disturbing for myuse because i didnt insert deeply enough, or it felt that way.
Greetings, Anouk,

The RE0 is the higher-end model and it is on sale for the summer (technically; head-direct's sales have been known to last longer than indicated). The RE1 is regular price, but keep in mind that that is the old, well-packaged version of the RE1 with the cool DIY-style case.

Late night typo...RE2/E5 is my current setup.

I am interested in a new IEM <$100...

I am thinking of getting custom tips from UniqueMelody in china for 320 Yuan (~48 USD) along w/ my custom TF10s for the RE0 series. I think they fit ie8s and bunch of other universals as well. If I recall soundstage wasn't really the RE0s strength though.

 

[Anouk]

Hello, these are really tempting at this price! I am worried about the filters though, how often are they in need of replacement and why are tehy there at all? I mean, iems like the ie8 dont ship with them for example so I suppose they dont need them.
Greetings, Anouk,

 

[Sixteh]

Can anyone with experience with the new cables post their thoughts on the microphonics and durability of these? Are they compatible with the Phonake silicone ear guides?

Also, how is Head-Direct's customer service? If I decide to return them, where would I have to ship them?

 

[maniac2003]

Well Sixteh mine should arrive soon, currently they are passed the Customs. So I should have them tuesday or wednesday (that's what I hope).
I travel by bike/train every workday so ideal to test them in terms of isolation and microphonics.
Customer service responds quick to e-mail, for the rest I can't tell.

 

[Sixteh]

Thanks. I got the customer service part; Fang responded to my email in 6 hours--I'm impressed. The main part right now is ensuring I can get good support in the states if I want them repaired/replaced or refunded.

 

[maniac2003]

Yes, my pair has arrived

But hé I'm at work, bummer

3 hours to go
