Relatively neutral for the price but pretty much meh (lifeless and unresolving) for the $$ if you ask me.

Too much 2khz emphasis.  Not enough treble.  Sounds plasticky.  Good for rock but not so good for anything else to me.  Decent clarity and soundstaging.  Relatively neutral yes.


Pretty compact and super comfy though.  For 70 or less it's a steal.  For its asking price of 99 it's pretty decent value.

I thought the RE400 sounded pretty OK.

Pretty OK shouldn't make the leaderboard.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Flat sounding, unnatural timbre and funky tonality from the mids to treble. Not a bad value for the price with great built quality but I felt the Tenores were overall better sounding at the sacrifice of build quality.

Just curious, are these infamous K7XX leaderboard worthy from those that have heard them? I'm wondering if they would be a good alternative for the HD600/DT880 price range. I'm asking mostly because it seems like for someone on a budget, the HD600 seems to always be the #1 recommendation, options are good IMO.

I agree with most of the above, just wanted to check. Got mine for $50 so that might be skewing things. A valid alternative to the Tenores but it doesn't need to be on the list. Going to give them to my brother.

Really? This talk about the Tenores, damn I want something smoother than my VSD3S for "vocal music".
Should pull the trigger...

Aren`t the Takstar Pro 80 going to the Leaderboard?

Just got a pair of RE400s. A year ago I liked the pair I gave to my wife, but that was with fairly aggressive upstream gear and without UERMs or other really good IEM experience.

With my current setups, they're boring as hell. I felt like I cheated questhate because I shared the deal with him.


Tenores are better, but mine broke (two pairs)

HE400 is dismissed already, but just for info, these aren't that well built. Cable reliefs come of, cable follows. Cheapy feeling TDK's are much more durable.
