HiFiMAN RE400i

The HiFiMAN RE400i is a compact, lightweight wired IEM praised for its smooth, balanced, and detailed sound, offering excellent value at its budget price. However, its restrained bass may disappoint bass lovers, and the fragile cable and lack of modern features like a mic or app support are notable drawbacks.

The reviewer finds the RE400i offers surprisingly detailed and clear sound for its price, especially for classical and acoustic music, but notes a bright signature, limited bass, and a flimsy remote that can cause issues with iPhone 6s. They recommend it for budget buyers who prioritize clarity over bass and build quality.

This review characterizes the RE-400 as clean, smooth, neutral, and non-fatiguing, with good detail and a compact, lightweight build. It also says the earphone benefits from a good source or amplifier, even though it is efficient enough to run easily from a phone.

The reviewer finds the RE-400 to be a detailed, warm-neutral earphone that is enjoyable for careful listening. The biggest criticism is the weak, rigid cable and the need to handle it carefully.

The reviewer describes the RE-400 as a very smooth, balanced, and accurate earphone with excellent comfort and a compact fit. They also note it comes with a strong accessory set, but the sound may be too restrained for listeners who want extra excitement or heavier bass.
