I highly recommend Effect Audio cables. For budget selection, Ares II or Eros II. Mid tier, Lionheart or Leonidas. TOTL, Horus.

What kind of sound signature do you like? Neutral or full body? If you want more clarity, maybe Lionheart or Leonidas work for you.

I am using RE2000 with R2R2000, and I feel like a whole new world opening up before me. I am not new with this hobby, and I have equipments of multi thousand dollars, but this is another level, another league, another world.
I don't know how to express myself more accurately and convincingly. Grab the RE2000 and R2R2000 combo if you can, and you will know what I mean.

Am I the only one who can't fit this monster in the ears?

Sincerely, it's unbelivable what these companies do nowadays. 200 drivers in a monster shell or one monster driver in a monster shell.

I can't describe how much pain this earphones cause me.
I just wish the RE800 have more bass, body...

Strange thing that they would be painful to you (?)

Are they resting on your ear strangely, or they simply don't fit inside?

BTW, the original tips were pretty bad for me, but I got angelic comfort after switching to Spinfit

You are definitely not alone. I can wear these comfortably for a couple hours, but then the back bottom corner starts to bite into the ear. They really should have smoothed that corner off. They could have done this without changing the overall aesthetic. Even if that corner had been smoothed, I've run into a number of people who loved the sound, but couldn't fit these in their ears without holding onto them, which of course means they can't listen for long.

The RE2000 isn't the most ergonomic IEM out there.

Agree with Micah, great IEMs with a unique tuning, but eargonomics could be better. What helps me with RE2k is to use eartips that "extend" the nozzle, pushing the shell further out of concha area. Otherwise, RE2k nozzle is short and that's what causes the discomfort when shells are wedged inside your ear.

Sorry the delay, I forgot to answer, and I was trying to find a picture to explain why was painful. Crus of helix seems to be the problem.

In the end, I returned the earphones and got one InEar Prophile 8.
The RE2000 couldn't fit in my ear in any way, with any tips. It's really a problem with the size of the earphones.
