Did My Friend Bust My Brand New SE530's By Plugging Them Into Airplane Jack?
Hi. I literally just bought a pair of SE530s last Tuesday for a trip and on the flight back yesterday my friend tried them out by plugging them into the airplane jack to listen to XM Radio on JetBlue - without the airplane attentuator. About 2 minutes in, a Captain's announcement came on and...- brianhem10

Confused on Whether the SE530 or Monster MDs Would Be Best
Hello. It is ironic I think that one of the biggest supporters of the Monster MDs are "The Search Never Ends" and he is right - it never ends. Six months ago when I decided to ditch my SE210s and pay $300+ for a pair of top-tier IEMs, I said "I want the SE530s". But, I was perusaded to try...- brianhem10

Are My Ears Just Not Right For High-End IEMs?
Hello. Since November when I decided to sell my Shure SE210s to buy a top-level IEM, I've been met with nothing but dissapointment. I am starting to think it's my ear's fault and not the IEMs. My first stop was the UM2s which simply were too small for my liking and were awkward to wear -...- brianhem10

Looking for <$100 Amp/DAC for AD-700 Instead of X-Fi Sound Card
Hi, Really new to all this stuff, but I'm enjoying the process. Waiting for my AD-700s to come and I've been told by a friend that I'm better off getting a budget Amp/DAC solution than buying a $40 Creative X-Fi card. I assume he is right. I know there are some Amp/DACs that are...- brianhem10

IE8 on EBay for $200?
Hi, I apologize to the forum for starting a few different threads recently. Just got offered a 2nd chance price on ebay for an IE8 for $200. I'm concerned that the seller says Sennheiser doesnt give warranties for items purchased on eBay. Should I be concerned? Also, I'm really interested...- brianhem10

Super.Fi 5 EB vs Triple.Fi 10
Hi. I've narrowed down my IEM search to these two based on what I can buy them for ($109 and ~$160-$180). I listen to mostly hip-hop and classical rock with 192kbps WMAs. I will not have amp (at least for a year) and have fairly small ears. I just returned a pair of Westone UM1s because they...- brianhem10

Need Help Choosing a Successor to My Shure SE210's ($100-$150)
Hi, First time poster so I apologize for any naivety. Just sold my Shure SE210s on EBay as I wanted to treat myself to an upgrade for the holidays. I own a pair of V-Moda Bass Freqs that I use casually/work-outs. I used the SE210s (and this new pair) for longer listening, flights, and for my...- brianhem10
