Description

Fang Bian is not a man to rest on his laurels. The RE-600, based on his single driver technology, is our favorite in-ear without stepping up to something much more expensive...in this case a CIEM-(custom in ear monitor).

The RE-600 takes the natural, pleasing nature of the RE-400 and yields more space, more definition, and a more relaxed mid-band...in short it bests the RE-400 in every category as it should at several times the cost.

It also takes advantage of all of HiFiMAN's R and D over several years of working on IEM's...like porting the driver for much better realistic bass extension. If you're considering a top reference in-ear, don't discount the RE-600 due to its relatively modest price. There are very few in ears we find more pleasing.

Being the flagship model of an already formidable line of earphones to come from HiFiMAN, the RE-600 inner ear monitors aim to impress and delight discerning listeners. The flat, accurate frequency response of the RE-600 provides a listening experience that those recording and mastering it wished to provide.

* These earbuds also come with a balanced cable, protecting your signal from interference and feedback for a pure listening experience. An unbalanced adaptor is also included for those listening from standard unbalanced devices such as smartphones and MP3 players.
* Overall, the RE-600 are a top of the line headphone, carefully designed to provide a clean listening experience for audiophiles, professionals, and music lovers alike.

Hifiman RE600 V2 Un cuffia in-ear molto ma molto ben riuscita

Questi auricolari possiedono notevoli pregi, sebbene siano stati progettati qualche anno fa.
Molto leggeri e piccoli, quasi insignificanti all'apparenza. Tra i più comodi che abbia mai provato. Facendo passare il filo sopra l'orecchio li uso durante la corsa. Sono gli auricolari piu' stabili che abbia mai provato. Con i cuscinetti in foam della Comply praticamente impossibile che escano dall'orecchio (non e' scontato con altri auricolari più pesanti, anche con cuscinetti Comply foam).
I cavi sono un po' rigidi e tendono ad attorcigliarsi. Bisogna solo farci un po' di attenzione per evitare che si deformino troppo, ma questo non costituisce un grande problema. I miei auricolari dopo svariati anni funzionano ancora perfettamente.
Ma veniamo alla resa sonora. La prima impressione e' tutt'altro che d'effetto. All'inizio non si rimane impressionati. Ma e' solo questione di tempo, bisogna abituare l'orecchio al timbro assolutamente eccezionale di questi piccoletti. Gamma bassa presente, non estesissima verso il basso, altrettanto dicasi per la gamma alta. Ma molto, molto equilibrata. La gamma media e' il pezzo forte. Ad esempio la riproduzione delle voci e della chitarre elettriche e' fantastica. In primo piano, calde, melodiche, forse appena appena un po' nasali.
Buona risoluzione, ma non elevatissima, non "chirurgica", insomma non "viviseziona" impietosamente i brani registrati con qualità media e medio-alta.
Da provare con le vecchie incisioni rock anni 60-70. Resa veramente notevole, si capisce che non c'e' solo tecnologia ma anche una buona dose di arte nel progettare queste cuffie.
In definitiva e' una cuffia molto molto equilibrata. Le sue qualita escono fuori alla distanza.
Evitare confronti superficiali con auricolari con bassi pronunciati ed alti "sparati".
Quando uscirono qualche anno fa (2013) costavano 300 euro ed erano il modello di punta della Hifiman. Oggi per meno di 200 euro si prende la versione V2 leggermente migliorata (consiglierei le 600S senza la complicazione della connessione bilanciata, che mi sembra un po' velleitaria).
Il rapporto qualita'/prezzo e' decisamente ottimo.
