HIFIMAN RE2000 PRO Silver Review: Does IEM Shape Matter for Sound?

An older HIFIMAN flagship IEM with the same topology driver as the RE800 but a CNC-machined aluminum shell - by far the most detailed IEM I've ever heard at $350.

Verdict: Highly Recommended - 8.8/10. Price: $349.

What's good

Topology diaphragm with nanoparticle coating

Aviation-grade aluminum shell - no plastic

CNC-machined for refined fit and acoustic properties

By far the most detailed IEM I've ever heard

Razor-sharp imaging with width, depth, and layering

Detachable 2-pin cable - aftermarket support

Premium thicker stock cable vs. RE800

Padded metal carrying case included

Worth knowing

Unusual shape takes time to fit perfectly

Slight midrange dip around 2-3kHz

Lacks scale to instruments (driver size limit)

Sometimes a bit analytical in treble

Bass extension is good but not boosted

Don't run from a phone - quality matters
