Did My Friend Bust My Brand New SE530's By Plugging Them Into Airplane Jack?
just to confirm, my amazon invoice says: "Sold by Amazon.com, LLC" - they aren't going to try and say that it's not an authorized dealer or anything are they?- brianhem10

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

TripleFi.10's vs. Shure SE530's vs. WESTONE 3's vs. Monster Turbine Pro Copper/Gold
Hi RealityRush, I'm not in a position to give a totally qualified position, but I was (and I guess still am) in your shoes and have done a lot of research on this. First and foremost, the Westone's you can get from people on this board and on eBay from authorized sellers for between...- 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?
Thank you very much! Would rather get a "lesser" IEM than get duped, obviously. I'm going to get the Turbine Pros. Thank you!- 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

[DEAL ALERT] $65: Refurbished Audio-Technica AD700
Quick question - I'm aware of the differences between closed and open headphones, but would anyone recommend the A-700s versus the AD-700s? I mostly use full-size headphones at home and my IEMs on the road, so for the most part sound leakage isnt an issue. Not using an amp and I like to play...- brianhem10

Need Help Choosing a Successor to My Shure SE210's ($100-$150)
I found the UE Triple.Fi's on EBay for $180. But, I've heard ALOT of concerns about their durability. I'm also concerned about buying something without being able to try it first, as the problem with the UM2s is their fit and comfyness. I loved my SE210's but the higher-end Shure's don't seem to...- 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
