It sends both a loud scratching and often a loud thudding sound directly into your canals. The cable's terrible point is that it is one of the most microphonic cables I have ever used. The cable itself is ok in the sense that it is extremely tangle resistant, which I do like, but it’s still a cable you find on far cheaper earphones. There is no strain relief on the housing, but Flare insists that the earphone's design removes such necessity.

Indeed, it is something different, and that, in a way, is cool.įor the most part, the build is excellent the housings are titanium and feature a screw-off back so you can remove the driver and cable in one go making it user-replaceable. Even if you leave them sitting on a desk, they look very cool. They are so light that you will barely notice when they are in place, and they cause zero discomforts even through prolonged use. The small size of the R2 allows for deep insertion, even for those with the smallest ear canals. They remind me a lot of an IEM I always wanted to try but never called the myST Nail V2.

I do like the styling of the Flare R2 Pro IEMs. Flare Audio R2Pro - Earphone Design & Styling If the sound is right, all will be forgiven. In the accessory department, the Flare R2Pro is lacking, but that could all be ok. Additionally, flare is in the range of some good custom offerings that offer a custom fit, range of balanced armatures, and custom user-replaceable cables. RHA's excellent flagship and far cheaper T10 and soon-to-be-released T20 is stacked with cool and worthy accessories. At this price point, you see what someone like Final Audio offers with its beautiful carry case included in the Heaven IV or the DUNU DN2000's excellent shell case. The R2Pro from Flare Audio is, at $400, entering a fiercely competitive price point with some really stellar options, but they offer a lot less than the competition. Again it’s a cheap option, and a hard case would have been a better choice. I don't usually use compliance tips myself, such is my preference, but it seems the R2Pro is designed for them.Īpart from the tips, the only other included extra is a drawstring pouch that I don't expect many folks will use. Comply tips are expensive in the long run and will cost you extra during the duration of your ownership, so potential buyers should take that into account. What is good is that with the Flare R2Pro earphones, I received a few packs of comply tips. If you were expecting anything substantial in the box, you are going to be disappointed. So is it worth it? There has been a lot of hype behind Flare, so let us take a look at what the R2Pro IEMs have to offer. It’s a huge step up from the Flare audio R2A, which essentially seems to be the same earphone with an aluminum body. The R2Pro is the titanium model, which comes with a steep price tag of $400 ($200 on Kickstarter). Today though, I have the flagship Flare Audio R2Pro in for review. Final Audio Design, one of my absolute favorite companies for noncustom IEM's, have their own BAM tech (Balanced Air Movement) that is in its own right exceptional. Flare is not the first company to do balanced air and pressure technology. They offer the same design in each IEM, but each with differing materials said to account for a change in sound signature.

Flare Audio's R2 series of earphones (the in-ear model) are based around the company’s balanced pressure technology. During the campaign, flare is offering a massive discount on the final RRP of its products.

In this promotion, the company has been pushing both the introduction of a new R2 in-ear model, a refinement of the R1 headphones, and some other full-size options.

Flare Audio R2Pro - IEM Review -INTRODUCTIONĪt the time of writing, Flare Audio has just finished off a Kickstarter campaign which has seen them reach their full target goal of £100,000. Needless to say, at the higher price, my issues with the Flare Audio R2Pro are further compounded as at £400, the quality from the competition even more intense. Instead of $400, the RRP is actually £400 :0 I will leave the review as originally written, so take my impressions at what I thought was a far lower price point. Also, you might note that I got the pricing wrong. UPDATE: Flare has added a zipper case to the final release package.
