I eventually got the bass figured out and used the foam tips, also started to not listen for the bass where I think it should be. This solved the issue and they have been good IEMs for starters.

I did get caught up in the upgrading for a while but I'm over that for a while. My wallet did get thin but I'm enjoying what I have now. I did get the Cowon X7 and am fully enjoying it. The sound is great and with six sets of earphones I have a good verity of sound. Each has a unique sound and I...

I just got my T-PEOS H100RR about 3 weeks ago and have about 50-60 hours on them. They were a little harsh sounding at first but have really mellowed out some. I'm not a big believer of burn in though it does seem to be the case with these IEMs. They are similar to my Rocket R-50s and lack the...

Pardon my ignorance but what is ciem?

Haven't tried it with my desktop though it would be interesting to hear the results. This is my first DAC AMP and got it for portability. I'm still new here and there is a lot I do not know about amps.

I just got my E17 and using it with a Cowon I9+ at volume 10 Dac amp at 41 with Westone UM3's. I'm playing wma lossless. Totally changes the sound. I can hear crisp clean details I could not hear before. Sounds a little warm but punchy base and mids are nice. Treble is crisp and clear. Well...

I just got my Westone 3 a couple days ago. Took a little tweaking with my EQ but got the sound I am looking for. This is my first 3x IEM so didn't know what to expect. I didn't do a burn in and not really sure if it's needed. Totally different sound than the Rocket -R50s and the Shure se215. It...

The cable connecting to the IEM that used to swivel freely seems like it's binding. Is there anyway to re-seat the cable or is this something I need to have serviced by Sure? They are about a year old and still sound great the problem is just the stiff connection. It's only the right side and I...

I got my R50s for Christmas last year and love the sound quality, it took about an hour to get used to how they sound compared to the Shure SE215. There are a couple of issues, the sound isolation is not as good as the 215s and I think that is the due to the enclosure. I live by a Marine air...

I do notice what you mentioned esp. in older music though some of the old Beetles and Aerosmith did a really good job as far as sound quality. In the song Helter Skelter if you listen carefully you can hear Paul talking to john or George, couldn't make out what he was saying but it was not part...

I'm really enjoying the Shure SE215s with my Walkman. The version of the Walkman NWZ-S764 seems to have better battery life and I like the warmer sound over the zip clip. Even metal sounds good which is a plus, blues sounds awesome. I do notice some quality difference in older albums/CDs but I...

Thank you Argyris, you are right. I've never had a fat wallet and have always had fairly decent equipment that I enjoy listening with. I do notice I am getting all caught up in the gear and what I don't have. What I do have is actually a nice portable setup for myself. I enjoy both the IE2s...

I'm pretty new to IEMs and the SE215 didn't empty my bank account. Getting used to sound isolating IEMs over the open Bose IE2 was a interesting an experience. I don't think I would notice a burn in though I did notice the bass with the SE215 really depends on the seal. I listen to mostly metal...

I've got 9,300 right now, various formats and quality. I just started rebuilding my CD library after 20 years. I lost all my CD's albums, and tapes from many moves around the US. Now that I'm settled down and rebuilt my collection.

I've been reading up in the IEMs and seems a lot of people suggest the Grado for Metal. I still have my IE1s I use at work, they seem to have better bass than the IE2 also sound a little more balanced. There was a big design change in the casing that to me changed the sound. They sound tighter...

I enjoy listening to metal on the Shure's. The bass is awesome and not over powering as with the IE2s. I'm using the with a Sana Zip clip right now, just got my replacement Sony Walkman S764. I need to load it up with some music so I can test it out.

I just purchased these Monday and have used the advise here about using the foam tips and getting a good seal very helpful. I thought they lacked bass until I finally got the fit and seal right. Coming from the Bose IE2 it took some time to get used to the quality & clearity of the bass. I'm...

Maybe some day I will be able to get the 4 or 500s, I'm off to a good start.

I have what I nee right now, Megadeath and Stevie Ray Vaughan sound great, as well as just about everything I listen to with th E215s. I'm looking forward to learning more about sound quality, this is a good place to be. I found this site while looking for reviews for new ear buds, and have...

Thanks for the welcome Happy Camper, I'm a computer tech. by trade. My PC has an HT Omega Claro first edition with the Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 THX. I don't own a home system anymore. The Klipsch are pretty old and they don't make the 4.1 anymore. Still has pretty good sound. I knew a few...

Hi all, I just upgraded from Bose IE2s to my first IEMs Shure SE215s. Right now I'm listening to them with a Sansa clip ZIP 4gb. Don't know all that much about burnin but I have been using them for about 14 hours now. Still getting used to the difference in sound. I'm still learning about...
