BF1983 said:They still sound pretty good but on switching to the Ibasso and volume matching I notice that imaging and soundstage width get noticeably better. These phones have the best imaging I have ever heard and frankly if you are losing that by running them unamped then you are losing out
Finally, it seems that you are beginning to like the 262s better (mission accomplished ). Did you de-tune your iBasso from RE1 specific settings?

Straight out of the Fuze they didnt sound all that great .My RE-252 sounds lot better than the 262 without an amp but when I tried it with Brendons P3+ and Nukey's Pico Slim , the midrange and sound stage bloomed ! The treble though is quiet rolled off . Also the 252s are much more neutral and balanced compared to 262 . The 262 has super smooth ,warm and slightly upfront midrange with laid-back treble. Would definitely consider them if I had an amp or would plan to buy one ever .
That's what I was looking forward to - a proper comparison between 252 and 262. I thought the treble in 262 was laid-back and recessed, but rolled-off too? Is it not even on the level of 252 (which is anyway < RE0)?
