I reckon the treble, with the bi-flange or similar narrow-bore tips, is excellent. It seems not to be so great with the included tri-flange tips or Complys. I think this is due to those tips having a long bore. I've noticed some IEMs don't match well with long-bore tips of any kind.

Totally agreed!:darthsmile:

The only tri-flage IEM I use is ETY ER4-XR, anything else I seem to prefer with a single flanged tip, using SpinFit tips for RE-2000 and RE-800, sound and comfort is really good this way!

Had a chance to listen briefly. Frankly, they sound excellent. Everything in balance, and the nice DD sound.
However, I found the ergonomics and abomination. Would pass at $2000.

What tips have you tried them with? I don't know how much I would use them with the stock tips, because double flanges really hurt my ears, but with spinfit, the fit is really nice for me.

Even when I took most recent photos of them, I preferred to use spinfit tips because this is how I use RE2000. I also state this in my review, I consider that HiFiMAN shouold probably add Spinfit tips to the package, they are not very expensive and they really help RE2000 and RE800 get better comfort.

I feel that the rather rounded surfaces do them a favor, the only part that might become uncomfortable for some users being the larger size of the housings, which might be because of the driver used and to get the sonic performance they do

Will have RE2000 review soon on Head-fi, but for now just posted it on my blog. Didn't realize how much I'm going to get attached to this latest HFM flagship. Pairs up great with everything, don't even mind my Note 4 phone, but it's exceptional with WM1Z (on loan).
