Hi All, I've been running on the treadmill a year now and I'm always covered with sweat (plenty). I listen to R&B/HipHop during the running with my 1st gen Nano & ER4P. I always change the filters in the ER4P every month b/c the sweat damages them. Few months ago, I bought a Triple.fi...

Apologies In advance for committing what I'm sure is a cardinal sin and posting incorrectly but after a lot of dithering I gave up trying to decide which forum to post in.   I currently Listen to a Krell KAV 300i with a Micromega Premium 18 and a set of Sonus Faber Concertos with Nordost Red...

Hello fellow Head-fiers! As I´m sure many from Europe have noticed, the main deals thread isn´t that useful for us as we have to scan out the deals actually willing to ship over here. And unfortunately we´re often left in the dark (hi Amazon.com!). So due to popular demand, I present the Europe...

Hi   I was out of the scene for quite some time so I realized that quite a bit more IEM companies are out there now then in the past. I'm looking to replace my Shure ES530 with a comparable IEM sound wise but one offering custom fit molds.   Any suggestions on custom fit options that...

I have a Sansa clip with a set of shure se530s could anybody suggest a good amp for this combination?  thanks

I don't have a lot of experience with IEMs... I have only owned the Shure E2c, se310, and currently the se530.   Everyone of those IEMs has sounded very thin and weak to me. The se530s are supposed to have the best bass response of them all, and they still, to my ears, sound weak in the bass...

Are there any people out there who have had the 530 for an extended period of time and HASNT had the cable separate?

OK, I am curious, what is your #1 favorite Universal IEM? and why?

Ok guys, I'm new around here, even though I've been reading this forum for ages now. I've been wanting to buy a pair of IEM's for a while now, and have narrowed down the options to those two: SE 530 and IE8. Both the SE-530 and IE8 are at the same price (from where I buy, 530's are 14...

Hey all, I need some help, I'm guessing quite a few people here will have a bit if knowledge about headphones, this is why I've just joined this forum, it seems incredibly helpful and knowledgable. I've tried reading up on the forums for advice but i just keep going in circles and no one has...

Those questionmarks need to be replaced by something within my budget f €/$ 150,-   I know the impedance of my Shures is 36 ohms The impedance of my 1212m soundcard is ~600 ohms   So I definitely am going to need an amp, but I'm on a tight budget. I'd prefer the amp to be under €150...

Hey all, as my title suggests I'm looking for some headphones that are gentle on the low end. I currently use my HD650s with a tube amp most of the time and I get listening fatigue from the bass on almost any piece after an hour(it goes faster with some types of music obviously). I think I might...

Hi guys,   I've been busy reading tons of reviews of IEMs in the past couple of days and made up my mind on Audio Technica ATH-CK10. I've been searching for a deal because my budget is $150 and I found this:   http://www.ecforsell.com/view.php?id=45472     Do you have any...

Head-Fi, First post, so I thought it would be best to give a brief self introduction. My name is Kevin and I am currently working in Japan on the JET Program. I teach English at two middle schools in rural Kyushu, the southern most main island. I'm also currently working towards becoming a...

I guess I'm getting a little bored, and want a bit of an upgrade. Maybe a bit more sparkle in the high end and more clarity all the way through. SE530's are brilliant in most regards except the high end.   How do the Copper's fare against the SE530's SQ wise? Also, one other important thing...

hey people, this is my very frist post on this website.. ok i have a question about Shure Warranty.. the other day something happen to my se530 and im not if shures warrenty would cover the accident i had. this is my story: acouple of days ago i was cleaning the black foam with soap and water...

I love my SE530s.  I can listen to them for hours on end with no discomfort or fatigue, whether classical or death metal.  The problem is that they just aren't convenient to use at home.  To remedy this , I am looking for a full size pair of cans that I can use for music, movies, and a little...

OK. So I have the above combo, and I think it sounds great.   The thing is, I thought Apple in-ear earphones sounded great until I switched to Shure SE210 which, in turn, I thought were fantastic until I got my hands on the SE530s.    My question is this: What can improve the sound...

Hi all,     I have a question regarding alternative sleeves for Shure earphones, specifically in this case the SE530. It's something that's been mildly bugging me since the E5 days, but long-term use of triple flanges particularly in my Ety days left my ears really irritated, and my...

I haven't used my two shure IEMs in a while, but in the past I remember the SE530 sounding much better than the E4.  However, recently I began trying them out again, and after noticing my E4 was clogged (sound softer on one side), I replaced the nozzles and got comply eartips.  Then I listened...

Well, while I was just looking around Craigslist, I found a deal for the Shure SE530s. The owner says he still has it, so I'm planning on purchasing it. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pml/ele/1994716651.html However, I'm thinking it's a fake because it's only 120 Canadian dollars...

UE 18 Pro first impressions First off I must say that this is my first pair of customs. So I will have to disappoint people who are waiting for compairsons with the JH13 Pro / UE10 Pro / UE11 Pro. I listened to JH13 Pro on a universal fit stock shell at a certain shop here in Hong Kong, but...

can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I tried searching for other people with this problem but couldn't find here... I've had my 530's for a while now and they're fine apart from the little flexible rubber cable protectors which sit just at the end of the driver unit with the cable protruding through... Its come loose on both...

A SE530 Review(tm) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- So yes, I've had my new Shure SE530's for a few days now and I've finally today gotten around to a proper listening test. Believe it or not ... microscopic drivers and all ... I did notice a...
