Flare Audio’s tiny £79 earphones are bona-fide giant killers

BRIGHTON, U.K. - May 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Respected headphone experts have found themselves throwing out the rule book as Flare Audio's base model R2A earphones, currently £79 on Kickstarter, have been outperforming custom audiophile in-ear monitors costing ten times as much. 



Flare’s technology gives the listener pure, distortion free sound, giving an amazing clarity and ideal isolation.  Review site Headphonics have compared the British company’s R2A favourably to models like the JH16 Pro Custom which start at $1,149. 



Flare’s ultra compact R2A, R2S and R2PRO earphones are available via Kickstarter now from £79, £150 and £200 respectively (including free worldwide shipping). The campaign runs for one more week, after which prices returns to full SRP, still a steal at £150, £300 and £400.

Music industry praise for R2:

“I'm once again enjoying pieces of music I thought I was "over-familiar" with because now I can hear new stuff in there. Listening is a pleasure again. Thank you Flare."
Jarvis Cocker - Pulp, BBC 6 Music

“I was astounded with the fidelity of these headphones…"
Huey Morgan - Fun Lovin’ Criminals, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music

“I cannot take them off, I am rediscovering recorded music on a truly epic scale…"
Chris Kimsey - Producer: Rolling Stones, ELP, INXS

------------------

Flare’s R2s are tiny when compared with competing products, and offer sound quality only previously achieved in much bulkier custom and semi-custom in-ear monitors offered at more than ten times the price.

The diminutive metal earphones are pressure balanced to reduce listening fatigue, meaning reviewers have found they can listen to the R2 for far longer than much more expensive models.

Rave reviews for R2:
