esanthosh said:^ That's better.
As for Audires, I'd say wait for a month more. There are a few things wrong with the setup now. Once I fix 'em, you are always welcome
Cool, what happened btw ? I guess the tinkering's gonna continue for a lot more than a month.
Brilliant. Thanks for mentioning the comfort/fitting issue with the 252s, as well. Glad to know about Cowon's abilities too.FaH33m said:RE0 really requires a good amp to shine , so get it only if you don't mind investing another 100-200$ on an amp .I think a Fiio E7 would be bare minimum though its amp section doesn't look all that great.
Between the RE0 and RE-252 , RE-0 is more neutral like ruler flat neutral sound ,more transparent and at times gives the perception of being more detailed as well due to the unmatched transparency. (All this is with a good amp in picture). The RE-252 has a much wider soundstage ,is very much neutral as well but much more lively than RE0 due to a slightly (very slight) forward midrange . It has better speed and decay than the RE0 which can be easily noticed in fast transitions or while listening to electronica music of 150-190 BPM.It's slightly more detailed than RE0 but the detailing is not as easy to pick as in the RE-0. With RE-252 its like when you are doing a proper critical listening it sounds extremely detailed , while listening casually it just makes you feel good about the music with the smooth sound.
Both the RE-0 and RE252 have a extremely detailed and slightly sharp treble which might result in fatigue or headache if you are not used to such sound.
About the 252s fit, when I first got them it didnt fit me at all .It would keep slipping out of my ear every 5 mins and the sound was horrible due to the improper fit .I had almost given up on them but after ~2 weeks usage there was a minor change it the 252s housing since its made of a flexible gummy material .Now with the medium bi-flange it would be perfectly .Infact the seal and fit was so good , I felt as if I was using a custom in-ears ! The seal and fit has been an issue with almost everyone who's got an RE252 so you need to keep that in mind and not give up on them easily.
Also both the IEMs do not show any mercy at bad recording or low quality files and reveal the flaws so using 320 kbps /FLACs is suggested. Dont worry about your player ,the Cowon should do just fine .
Both the RE-0 and RE-252 are truly amazing IEMs and without any doubt the contenders for the best universal IEMs . RE-0 is lot more VFM at 80$ but with an amp in consideration it almost comes to the same price point .
Yeah, as of now I am sticking with the Re 0. Next salary = amp. (as I mentioned before, any clue about ways to procure the Mini 3 amp ?...anyway, will bug you folks again for that
) Cheers.
