I've been using Shure 530's for years. They are white plastic and have yellow foam inserts that pop on and go in your ear. I have been happy with them but thought that it might be time to test newer technology, so I bought a pair of B&W C5s. I can't tell the difference between the two, though I like the remote control on the B&W that works with my iPhone. Either 1) the Shures are really good or 2) the B&Ws are just meh, or 3) my ears have gotten worse with age. I tested them with lossless audio tracks through iTunes. Thoughts? Thanks. Rick

I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...
