Upgraded Version of a Bestselling FavoriteOne of HiFiMAN's most popular in-ear phones is about to get even more popular! The RE400 has just been reborn as the RE400i and has been upgraded to include control for iPhone/iOS devices. The critically acclaimed model will still deliver the same outstanding sonic performance as before, but now with the added convenience for all of the folks who enjoy listening to music on portable Apple devices. The RE400i features a 8.5mm coated titanium driver custom designed and manufactured by HiFiMAN. Advanced ergonomic design helps with both ease-of-use and comfort while all-new, custom-designed drivers utilize special Titanium coatings for remarkable detail and extended frequency response. The addition of Neodymium magnets and premium cabling of Oxygen-Free Copper on the RE400i helps deliver all the music as it was originally intended. "The affordable HiFiMAN RE-400 In-Ear Monitor earphones have an attractive, understated design with machined-aluminum earpieces," notes Steve Guttenberg in his CNET.com review for April 16, 2013 on the original model RE-400. "They're lightweight and comfortable to wear and offer exceptionally pure and refined sound." "Wall of Fame" Performance"The folks at HiFiMAN have spent years establishing their brand, and the RE-400 and RE-600 finally have both the sound and the polish to become more than a niche audiophile product, which is all the more impressive considering that the company does all of its own manufacturing," reports ljokerl in an InnerFidelity.com review for Aug 31, 2013. "The value proposition of the RE-400 puts it on our Wall of Fame." "We have seen some really excellent sub-$200 upper tier IEM in the past couple of years, but few if any ever go below the $100 mark – but here again HifiMan has come to reconquer the land with RE400 as they once did with RE-0," notes Tai, InEarMatters.net, March 1, 2013. Exceptionally Comfortable and QuietEven folks who typically don't like in-ear headphones love the RE-400i. It's comfortable and far quieter than most in-ear designs, which suffer from resonance problems. A different approach has been taken in the design of the cables that helps minimize frictional noise while optimizing comfort and durability. The RE-400 has great sound quality, comfort and styling. We invite you to compare it to in-ear models at two to three times the price.

The Experts Love the RE-400"The affordable HiFiMAN RE-400 In-Ear Monitor earphones have an attractive, understated design with machined-aluminum earpieces. They're lightweight and comfortable to wear and offer exceptionally pure and refined sound." - Steve Guttenberg, CNET.com, April 16, 2013 "The newest HiFiMAN earphones should appeal to the casual listener better than the models they replace while holding very close to the HiFiMAN sound many -- myself included -- have come to love. The folks at HiFiMAN have spent years establishing their brand, and the RE-400 and RE-600 finally have both the sound and the polish to become more than a niche audiophile product, which is all the more impressive considering that the company does all of its own manufacturing. "In addition to the matured design and packaging, improvements over the previous-gen models include a more robust construction and better ergonomics. The higher-end RE-600 model also improves on the RE-400 with a thicker cable, much fancier packaging, twice as many eartips, and a balanced wiring configuration. It's definitely 'Stuff We Like.' "Anyone seeking a great balanced-sounding earphone will find either of the new HiFiMAN IEMs to do the job as well as almost anything else on the market. But the value proposition of the RE-400 puts it on our Wall of Fame as an alternative to the Philips Fidelio S1 -- one with smoother treble and a gentler sound signature, better noise isolation, and a more compact form factor." - ljokerl, InnerFidelity.com, August 31, 2013 "We have seen some really excellent sub-$200 upper tier IEM in the past couple of years, but few if any ever go below the $100 mark – but here again HifiMan has come to reconquer the land with RE400 as they once did with RE-0." - Tai, InEarMatters.net, March 1, 2013 |
