For whatever reason, I never bothered to try the HF2 with the GS bowls, but you guys gave me that idea. And dang...

It's more than obvious that RMC was violating their terms with Shure by advertising them for 129.99. They were doing us a favor, and we were able to get them for a low price. It's highly likely that JR was the company who snitched RMC out to Shure, looking at all the customers on here who tried...

The SR60i has improved bass and can't be compared as the SR60. Just keep in mind that you're not upgrading as you move up their line. You're paying more for a different sound.

You said earlier you used them for all of zero hours before forming an impression of them. Your sound impression means zilch because of that. All of my Shures have needed burn-in in the past.

Did you buy the right adapter? There should be 3 metallic surfaces on the plug. You said you bought a mono adapter. (2 metallic surfaces). That basically means you're only going to get sound on one side. Go buy a stereo adapter.
