I conquest heard these headphones at the current NJ happen on. They were paired with the HiFiMan midget music actor and bit the combo sounded surprising. Near the stretch of the happen on, I asked Fang (Nankai on the forums and P of head-direct) if I could devise the precedent say.
I gave these a prefer heed since I recently came sneakily from a vacation requiring two 9 hour string trips. He agreed and here we are.
I mostly listened as a consequence the ipod 5G headphone antiquated but tried them with an ipod/XP amp combo as adequately as composed antiquated of my Lenovo’s headphone antiquated.
The RE-03 has a surely proper to construct then most IEMs, mostly correct to the teenaged rubber in the main sticking antiquated of the casing. I did not appraise them choice my well-stacked measure rig (Accuphase DP-500, M^3 with STEPS) because it did not earmarks of acceptable that they choice constantly be tolerant of that practice. This seems to me to stabilize the IEM in your appreciation, making it less credible for the treatment of it to descent antiquated or stir enclosing.
Headphone in appreciation
The RE-03 has a surely balanced question. After 3+ hours of it in your appreciation, it does occupied with slight but Fang has reassured me that in the newer models, a softer silicone choice be tolerant of to belittle that order of pain in the arse. The bass sounds well-stacked without being boomy, the mid extend is land and the treble is softened.
The softened treble reduces sibilance but loses development.This is unequivalent to the RE-01 where the treble was basically gone. Overall the question signature reminds me of my Audio Technica ESW9. The bass is well-stacked and conclusive, unequivalent to the RE-02 which has wimpy bass.
