Finally took the plunge and got myself a pair of Shure SE110's. Tried them against the UE Metro.fi 2's. And I have to say that they're O.K. but what's with Shure's bass, or I should say, why is Shure trying it's best to stamp out the bass.
I've heard rolled off highs, artificially enhanced bass, and of course I own a pair of Bose Triport OE’s, which brings its own criticism, but I never heard anything so artificially tampered with...nothing.
We all go through it. The track starts and you know that bass line is coming, but with these Shure's, the bass line is tampered and muted to a point beyond belief. The bass line just doesn't manifest itself.
I don't care what anyone says about my Tirport's, Shure are the new Master tamperer's of bass, and not in a good way!
At least I gave them a go. So my question of SE530 or Triple.fi has been answered... I think it's the triple .fi's!
even with that attack, if you're into non beat driven music (rock, pop, rap, dance) then the Shure's are acceptable, but muting the bass to that degree isn't!
