HiFiMAN takes in-ear versatility to new heights
Though relatively new to the headphone industry, HiFiMAN has quickly established itself as a preeminent producer of audiophile gear. Now the same stunning sound of their over-ear headphones is available in an earbud thanks to the RE-262. Enjoy brilliant clarity, deep bass and lifelike presence with these lightweight in-ear headphones.
HiFiMAN always goes the extra mile for great sound quality — with the RE-262, they are breaking new ground. These versatile earbuds come with a wide range of listening options. The stock cable comes with a balanced miniplug connection for devices or amplifiers that can accommodate this sonically advanced feature. Don't have a balanced headphone amp? Not to worry: just pop on the unbalanced adapter and plug these headphones into any conventional unbalanced jack.
Customize your fit without sacrificing the integrity of the recording
As if the inclusion of balanced and unbalanced connectors wasn't enough, HiFiMAN also accounted for varying styles of wearing earbuds. While most people wear them in the correct ears with the cables hanging straight down from the earpieces, some listeners prefer to wear them backwards, switching ears and wrapping the cables up and around their ears for a more secure fit. So, HiFiMAN includes two adapters (one balanced, one unbalanced) that reverse the channels, so you can wear these earbuds in either ear yet still enjoy the proper left/right mix — impressive versatility from a forward-thinking headphone trailblazer.
Want to push the RE-262 to even greater heights? Pair them with a dedicated headphone amplifier to bring out more detail and extend the already impressive bass response.
