HiFiMan RE-400: affordable audiophile earphones

2013-04-16
I'm David Carnot a executive editor for cnet.com and I'm here with the high five man re-400 in-ear headphones now high five man may not be familiar to a lot of people but it is to a lot of audio files the company makes some very good full-size headphones but in the past it's in your models haven't been that good but this is the first in its new water line series and it's a lot better than previous models it has machined aluminum earpieces nothing too fancy about it very understated but the earpieces are lightweight they do feel comfortable in your ears you don't get much of the way of extras it does come with four sets of different sized ear tips as well as a little stick to wrap up the headphones but there's no carrying case included and there's no inline remote with a microphone so you can make cell phone calls the headphones themselves seem fairly durable the bottom half the cord is cloth covered and the cord terminates in an L shape which is a little bit more durable than your straight plug so all in all a pretty minimalist design but where these your phones really shine is their audio quality they feature excellent audio quality they're very accurate earphones with well balanced sound they might not have quite enough bass for some folks but these are geared towards audio files who prefer a more neutral warmer sound and these really do well with a lot of different kinds of music they sound particularly good with acoustic tracks I'm David carnal and those are the high five man re-400 in your headphones thanks for watching
