Doesn't seem like anyone can. If you dig around you can compare your headphones with other headphones and from there compare those to one of the more current headphones that are out now. Just buy the Ne-7m's they sound better than just about any other iem under $100. If you don't like them return them.

i live outside the US. having them shipped over and back would already incur me a high cost

Hey,

I've ordered the 7M yesterday and am awaiting its arrival. I live in Canada - Ontario to be exact - and wondering where I can get either the Shure E2C flex sleeves or the Comply T400 online or in-store, but not from the manufacturers' sites, if possible?

Thanks.

I bought a pair of these a few months back after reading this thread also, and don't regret it at all. They are more than worth the price, but I have to dispute that they are better than the Denon C700's. Just so much more body and depth to the music with the Denons IMHO. I use both un-amped straight from my ipod, so that must be taken into consideration.

I still would have no problem recommending them. It's all subjective.

would these work with other mp3 players apart from ipods..for example the cowon s9?..and are these better than the re2 and pk3?
thanks

Unamped the Denon have a powerful bass and bright treble that lets you listen at lower volumes, but at higher volumes the C700 bass becomes sloppy and the highs become irritating to me.

Can't say that I have experienced that phenomenon.

To each his reach I always say.

 

[eggyhustles]

do these have more bass than the c551s?

Shure Tips

I bought my comply tips from Ebay here for $19.95US plus $3US shipping for a pack of 5 tips. They came from Toronto so should arrive quickly for you. The packaging they came with was very minimal and there was no Comply markings so I can not say if they were legit or not but the seller has %100 feedback and they look like they are the real thing to me and are VERY COMFORTABLE.

You sold another pair of NE-7m to me a minute ago.I just cant wait for them to give a try!

 

[shinyu]

how is the durability of ne7m?

 

[dweaver]

I can not say as I have only had mine for a week or so. But the construction looks very good to me. I think the L plug looks very durable and well done. It is bendable which would indicate to me that it will stand up well and also will not add to much stress to my expensive Ipod Touch (rather have to buy new headphones than the player). The cable itself is a bit stiff but I like that as I think it makes cord tangling less likely. I also think the contruction of the earphone itself seems solid (but it is not all metal like some phones).

 

[oblivious]

mine are their way from the states woo!, look forward to see how they work with my Samsung YP-K3 player. Horrible standard earphones, not comfy at all, and they just don't fit well.

Then i shall see if i need to purchase the FiiO E5

I recall someone complaining about the plastic on the L-jack being too brittle and cracking, but my pair have held up to general daily abuse just fine and have always seemed quite robust.

I'll confess I've dropped them few times...once into my gin & tonic.... To my great relief, the submerged driver survived its baptism with seemingly no adverse effects. Idiot proof and safe to operate while intoxicated - what more could you ask for?

Isn't another company making speakers out of whisky or wine barrels? Maybe the gin & tonic would assign some beneficial sonic qualities to the NE-7M...
