Due to the same length, acoustic measurements indicate them to sound identical.Īs for tonality, “balanced” is probably what comes closest to the RE2000s’ tuning. Largest included triple-flange ear tips trimmed down to large single-flange ear tips that have the same length as the grey double-flange tips that came already installed on the RE2000. Doesn’t really appear (in terms of aesthetics) suitable for $2000 in-ears (despite the gold-plated elements on it), but is still good enough for a cable with non-braided/-twisted conductors.įairly nice aluminium carrying case that is rubber-padded on the inside and therefore protective.

Nicely soft and supple but also slightly sticky and rubbery on the surface the strain relief could be executed better on some of the transitions. Interestingly, the cable comes with a set of spare 2-pin connectors. The RE2000 are HiFiMan’s first IEMs with detachable cables thankfully they went with the 2-pin standard (recessed sockets) instead of the more fragile MMCX. The nozzles are on the shorter side which results in a fairly shallow fit. The outside with the HiFiMan logo, though, appears like it could lose its colour over time (it would have been better if the logos had been engraved or laser-etched). Removing the outer cardboard sleeve (without ripping it apart) turned out to be somewhat difficult, though.įairly poor selection of ear tips, especially given the price (various styles of tips, but only one respectively two choices as for size).

I like the large, hinged, pleather-coated storage chest with a metallic badge on the outside that they come in it somehow reminds me of that of my Sennheiser HD 800. The product photo on the box’s sleeve doesn’t fully fit in, though (regarding lightning and focus). įairly impressive and abundant unboxing experience, but anything less would be disappointing at the fairly high price point (for single dynamic driver in-ears) anyway. ġ star: The product is bad/severely flawed to outright bad. Ģ stars: The product is only about average or even somewhat below that and somewhat flawed/flawed in some areas.

My ranking/scoring system does not necessarily follow the norm and is about as follows:ĥ stars: The product is very good and received the " highly recommended" award from me.Ĥ stars: The product is very good and received the " recommended" award from me.ģ stars: The product is good/very good, but not outstanding/special enough to get any of my two awards.
