Ucotech RE-2 | Dynamic Universal IEM

Bloom's Take

The RE2 has a matte, anodized gray shell with gold finishings along the faceplate edges. The build is similar to the Ucotech RE-1 Pro, but the RE-2 nozzle has an angled trajectory for a better fit and feels a bit more solid in your hands over the RE-1 Pro.

It's equipped with a 10mm beryllium plated driver famous for quick transients and sweet, distinct, detailed highs. Beryllium is a costlier material and challenging to work with hence the slightly higher price tag over the RE-1 Pro. The cable included is a litz silver-plated OCC 4-core and looks superb for the price. It presents as very thin, but don't let it fool you as it sounds decent and ironically presents with thickness in the sound profile. We had the best listening experience with lower end, non-flagship DAPs and DACs like the iBasso DX170 and Questyle M12. It's also important to note that like other universal IEMs, the experience is best with properly fitted tips with a solid seal and particularly so in this case (we used SpinFit W1s.)

The RE-2, like it's RE-1 sibling, demonstrates excellent sound and performance at a bargain price. It displays good tone and presentation, great separation and timbre, and a wider soundstage than assumed. If you want the same sound as the RE-1 but with a slight bump in build and design and a smidge less bass, give the RE-2 a try!
