Guys, this is crazy. I got a replacement pair for my broken RE0 V4 (one on the left in the pic above) today and it has the same nozzle length as the RE0 V3 (the one on the right) while the front part of the housing to which the nozzle is attached is also longer on the left side than on the right side...
Now, that's really messed up. These people at Head-Direct must have some obsessive complusive headphone modification disorder or something. lol
But wait, that's not all... I took out the filters from the nozzles and found that there is only half the foam inserted on one side compared to the other side. The other half was torn away. Looks like one of the workers in assembly accidentally chewed on the foam while eating his lunch or something. Bad quality control. Now I have to add a bit of cotton on that side to balance out the sound between the channels.
Oh well - at least they still sound like the good old RE0. Although at low volumes they don't perform all that well right now. I guess they need burn in. Still compared to my other cans - the FX700, RE272 and DT880 - the RE0s hold their own just fine.
