    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Update: So well, today I finally received the RE262s!!!! And guess the free gift they promised me? YES! The free gift is a FiiO E3 amplifier! So I guess my constant pestering and threats to ask for refund did actually work! So well, I'm taking the RE262s for a spin today. Will come up with...

    Auditioning IEMs at Mumbai

    I doubt you'll find the major chunk of high end IEMs on retail in India. You can maybe check out the Sennheiser IE8 at the Sennheiser store. Otherwise, theres the internet, like always.

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Yeah true. Plus, its price at $65, is pretty considerable, not only when comparing to amps in its category, but just generally, as a positive addition to your rig. And I'm sure amps are much longer lasting than IEMs, so maybe the E11 will be good enough till its time for my next IEM upgrade...

    The first pair of IEM's your bought??

    My first IEM was the one I received when I bought the Sony Walkman phone in 2004. Found IEMs to be amazing, so my next one was Sennheiser CX500, which cost me some AED 325 (Rs. 4,000). They were good can but lasted me only an year. The third IEM was Shure E3C, bought in 2005. I actually could...

    Getting it shipped to Delhi but ugh the customs are such a bummer. I've faced too many customs problems already to go through all of it again!

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    @mephis I checked with them. They said both of the adapters are available but they will charge $15 for shipping. The thing is, the RE262s for $149 includes the price of the cans and shippings. It sort of like a packaged offer. Update on Order: Guess my constant pestering did have an effect...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    @Faheem Well lush mids are really important to me since I listen to a lot of folk and indy rock/pop music. Electronic is not the ONLY genre I listen to. Its one of them. You can actually assume that I listen to all kinds of music, and even if I do listen to more electronic these days, music...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Yes I am considering the UE TF10s or the eQ5s. I'm not sure about the sound sig of the eQ5s but I have a general affinity towards Japanese manufacturers. They make good products. Well yes, obviously, I can only think at this stage if I am refunded my money. @Mephisopheles Thank you for your...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    They actually havent replied to my refund request, which I've sent 2 times. Very shoddy indeed. Anyways, they have another offer on their site, which is, Minibox ES + RE0 at $199. I'm thinking of paying them $50 extra and chuck the plans of an RE262. Worth it SQ wise?

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Update on my order: Head-Direct are really getting on my nerves for their sheer ignorance. Last Friday I asked them to refund my money because they promised that the RE262s are in stock and confirmed that I'll receiving it 7-10 days after I place the order. Turns out, they still havent been...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Well vocals are really important to me. I was actually considering the JVCs but I feel they have too many quirks to go through for long term ownership. The type of IEMS I am looking for should all rounded. Great enjoyment factor while listening to music, while not sacrificing deep extended...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Just an update on my RE262s. Turns out it has been out of stock for the past they. They still havent dispatched it. And I remember, before I made the purchase, I asked them about the availability and they said its ready and available and will reach me in 5-7 Business days. I'm really piss#d...

    Sennheiser IE 8 or Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10

    Well you have better/cheaper options. You can go for the Head-Direct RE262, which is being sold for a huge discount on the Head-Direct site for $150. Check out head-fi.org for reviews, it matches the quality of a $500 in ear. --- Updated Post - Automerged --- Well you have better/cheaper...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    @eshantosh Well I guess I'm gonna use it with my iPhone and Zen for a couple of days and see how it does. Checked out head-fi, they say the iPhone 4 is actually a pretty decent source, and is an obvious improvement to the 3GS. They drive my Shures perfectely. The Clip+ does appeal to me since...

    Well, then suggest me some! I'm yet to get a player. Have a Creative Zen and an iPhone 4 at the moment. I wanna chuck the Creative Zen because its kind of old and its buttons are a little messed up but nonetheless it still sounds great with my Shures. @Fah33m Appreciate the heads up. Damn!! I...

    Time for an IEM upgrade. Head-Direct REZERO, RE0, or RE262, or Shure SE530?

    Well I checked the site. They dont have SE530. They have SE535 which IMHO are overpriced even after a 30% discount. But thanks nonetheless.
