Improvement? Meh. Less bass impact for sure. I don't use them on the RE0 any more.

Got my ER0 today.

Have to say, nice and balanced. I listened them in a library for few hours while studying. The sound doesn't stress ears with orchestral nor metal recordings, and that's great for background listening. This is mainly because ER0 doesn't have powerful bass or loud highs.

I just removed foam from the nozzle and I think it brightened the sound a bit, so it might not be so relaxing and easy to listen. I will test them tomorrow if I should put them back.

I'll be burning them in for a week and see if the sound changes. Out of the box the sound is quite impressive with its balance and detail. I have the Meier Move but with quick testing I think the sound doesn't improve enough compared to my laptop hp-out that I would start carrying the amp with me. This is a very nice feature since I don't recall hearing better sounding headphone that can be run decently without an amp.

Yeh I just got my RE0s today as well and my opinion is a little different.

Personally I dont notice the difference between the RE0s and stock Zune headphones. I'm gonna have to keep listening to them but I wasnt extremely impressed out of the box. The cord is also very flimsy and annoying to manage.

I had the same opinion when I got mine. Give them some time and they really grow. Unfortunately the cord doesn't burn in, so it's still the same after 3 months of use.

I love the sound of the RE0, with an amp. I set me P2 on the second bass boost setting and they sound amazing. If only I could find an IEM that sounded like that without a amp

Well, I had exactly the same feeling. I was expecting too much of a difference between the Zune earphones and the RE0s.

I have burned my RE0s for approximately 50+ hours now and listening to 192-320kbps mp3s. There is a big day night difference now. Bass is more punchy...its fast and very detailed..
High's are extremely impressive....

Listening to prodigy soundtracks..and man...it sounds way to0 awesome...everything is balanced...you can hear each and every instrument with clarity.
I am mighty impressed, can't wait to cross 100+hrs on them.

That's what some people said. I personally didn't hear an improvement. Heck, i couldn't put my finger on what the difference was, but I feel the stock tips are better.

After getting my warranty replacement set, I noticed something rather strange about it. This set of RE0's sounds fine and all, but it has a fabric cable (2nd version) and a right-angle plug (3rd version). Has anyone else recieved a pair like this? I actually like the fabric cable and wanted a right-angle plug, so maybe they read my mind.

 

[max pl]

The set I just received was right angle plug and non fabric cord...

Hey Max, now that you have had the RE0s for a few days, has the sound quality improved?

 

[max pl]

Me or the other Max?

 

[Mad Max]

xD I doubt he meant me. xD

 

[max pl]

Well in that case let me say that i cant make a judgement at this time.

Theyre good headphones and all but i'm not enough of an audiophile to tell the difference between these and my old Zune's. I'll have to break them in further and listen to more music; right now i hardly listen to much to be honest.

I'll report back here in a month. By then i'll have the Monster Coppers as well so i can make that comparison as well.

 

[PhilipV]

Yes I did mean max pl. . Alright well if you can't tell the difference, why would you get the Monster Coppers? Wouldn't that be a waste of money? Maybe you could tell more of a difference with an amp or something.

The sound difference between amps is infinitesimally smaller than between headphones, I doubt that would be worth it. I mean, my RE0 certainly didn't show an overly noticeable difference, amped or unamped.
