Shure SE425: First Impressions and Reviews Thread - Page 4

Do you only want to run a P to S adapter if you have an amp?  IE I generally use my headphones directly from my computer(s), would it help me or not be worth it?

 

guess i should get CK10 over 425 then for it's built
 

 

I only tried the SE425 in a shop out of my Teclast T51/S:Flo 2, I was very happy with their sound and the build quality.

 

I'm sure with a proper seal, 75 ohm adaptor, and longer listening session I would become even more impressed with these, but my feeling was their SS isn't for me, I think their SS is more suited for a stage musician or someone that just wants to relax and listen to music for a long time.

Have any of you tried putting a tiny dab of Vaseline around the nozzle before putting on the tips? I have found that that works fairly well in getting the tips off more easily. Does this affect the sound quality?

Whats a 75 ohm adapter and what's it do? Excuse me for being new >_<;

As for relaxing and listening to music for a long time, isn't that what we do? =p

I just got the SE425 to replace my SE210's. Sighs, I blew the SE210 right ear speaker after almost 5 years of use. Though, my first impression of the SE425's aren't too mind blowing moving from the SE210's. I DJ from time to time, so I use Allen and heaths xone headphone cans, and the SE425, despite having the extra bass speaker, doesn't seem to sound too different from the SE210, just a tad more base. Though, their reproduction of sound is amazing, but I just don't get the body trembling sub sound I get from a club. For my day job, they're more than sufficient.

Also, heart sounds sound good with the SE425's

Glad they kept the sound signature the same as its predecessor. This is the phone that opened up new dimension in listening to clear, bright, balanced sound. Initially, I was disappointed with lack of bass, but it had enough. When I had the opportunity, I sold the 420 and picked up a 530. I like them both - but possibly favor the 420 from what I recall.

 

I'm trying the triple.fi 10 and I'm not as impressed. Again, their entry level single armature had sweet neutral sound.

My se425 & se535, does't need to freez! tour in a freezer, put some kind of humidity in the shell & nozle, i simply keep the iem in my hands to keeping warm a bit. After few minutes, i pull & twist all the way out slowly  and straight

the eat of my hands work for me! have done this with all my shure iem. 

 

Once you get it out, instal a westone UM56 mold, like i do. No more tips removal issues, and you will be fine for a very long run.! By the way, i still have SE425cl and SE535v for sales, if some interested!

 

Can anyone tell me how the bass compares to SE215? I was looking to upgrade resolution, clarity, detail and spaciousness with the SE535 at some point. But I keep reading that the SE535 doesn't offer that much bass, im confused now if it would be the right IEM for me, since I don't really want to sacrifice any of the punchy bass the SE215 offers.

x2  have both either. think to sales them Am planing to make the move to custom iem now!

x2  Have Oxy  issues?

 

Am an owners of both, but sorry, what is the P and S adaptor  go for ?? have a pict of this?

Désolé... sorry, P S adaptor? have you some pict to show, am a bit confused!  ;-) 

 

Hi,

 

Would you say the 425 is a good choice to pair with an iPhone 4S as source?

 

I'm looking for a portable setup and so far i've tried the 535 but because of the extra sensitivity it's been a nightmare - way to loud on quietest setting on my iphone and the high sensitivity of the 535 pick up a lot of background hiss that ruins everything. Sure, now i know the answer for this is a pico slim / ray shadow, but wouldn't be portable in my view and it does mean 400$ more on top the 535.

 

So i was looking for something less sensitive that wouldn't get some much hiss (preferably) not from my iphone 4s (which is said to have a decent dac/amp).

 

Is any of you using a 425 paired with an iDevice?

Which are your impressions?
