I have a Hifiman 601 and want IEM to use with it. Is there anyone who have tested different Hifiman IEM with 601? I use Grado SR 80 today and really like the open airy warm sound that combo gives.
 
There is no hifiman dealer where I live, so I cant listen to them. Hoping for your help.

I listen mostly to Jazz and acustic, Vocals is importent.

Either the RE-262 or RE-272 would be great choices. The latter being more neutral.

I listen to a lot of jazz an acoustic music too, and in my mind the RE-0 combines well with the 601.

The neutral IEMs like Etymotic HF5 will pair well with HM-601 and they sound detailed yet offers good bass response.

Thanks for your help. It stands between 262 and 272. I wish I could hear them before i make the choice.
 
As I get it 262 is more warm and soft whith more musicality compared whith the brighter and analytical 272. 601 is warm so maby 272 is the better combo.

I have read reviews about 262 and 272 and the opinion is very different. I love the sound that my 601 with Grado SR 80 makes. And thats is my reference. The smooth and airy liquid sound blows me away. As i get it the 262 and 272 is very diffrent. My concern is if 262 is muddy in combo whith 601. And if 272 is to analytic.
 
Sorry about my english

272 is a great IEM and i simply love it
 
I had 262 before , and it has a veiled,rolled off treble
 
If your 601 is on the warm side , i think you should go for the 272
 
I use 272 with my J3 and i am extremely happy
 
Another friend of mine who had 262 and got 272 as well , agrees that the 272 is an upgrade sonic-wise
 
but like i said , i don't know how the 601 sounds
 
if it's on the warm side , get the 272

Ok thanks!
 
Right now its leaning to 272.
