Quote: I have tried it on both my iPod Touch (with Hip Hop EQ, as it has more of a sparkly sound than the others) andmy laptop, both on reasonably low volumes.   I also noticed the distortion on both. It has only been with several of my 2500+ songs that I have though.   If you...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a little amount of distortion on certain frequencies?   I was listening to a song the called "Goa (from) Electrosoul System (juju remix)" and it has a reasonable bassline, but when it dropped to its lowest point, which isn't overly low, I head some...

Quote: As I am a bit of a 'noob' in describing sound quality, I'm not overly Shure (haha) on what you mean by 'timbre', and the fast decay of bass.. do you mean punchy, rather than soft bass?   I have to agree with what you say for bass. I do love the SE215's, but they lack that...

Quote: They do sound great, but unfortunately, they aren't going to split your brain anytime with the bass they produce.They do have heavy bass compared to other IEM's, but they are well balanced, rather than overpowering.   Also, what are your sound preferences? :P    

Quote: Fair enough. Same here, I do love them, and they sound fantastic.   I guess it's a good thing that they aren't overpowering like others, but I am quite a basshead. It's just that some of my favourite songs have heavy and low basslines, which don't seem to jump out and benefit...

Has anyone noticed a break in on the bass over time? I am loving the earphones, and they are definitely better in SQ than my last, but unlike most people here, imo the bass isn't as heavy as my last Sony's.   It is fairly good, but it seems to kind of 'soften up' when it hits e.g. a song...

Ok, just recieved mine. Damn fast postage time.   So far I have had a little annoyance with the left earphone, as my left ear refuses to take any earphone unless it is forced in and fits perfectly. Anyway, I am using the meduim sized foam earbud on the right, and that fits beautifully, and...

Oh, also (sorry for the double post), when you talk about "bedding them in" do you mean to basically let them sit there for a day playing music on a medium level? (e.g. comfortable listening level) I am familiar with the term, and people even suggested to do that with systems like the Logitech...

Well, if anyone's curious, I bought mine for about $115 (incl postage) from a 100% good feedback seller from the USA, who sells mostly shure and other stuff specializing in sound (he's a sound techy).   Name's Zoltan4 I think.   Been about a week since, and atm I'm dealing with ONE sony...

Damn, wish I found the $65 deal >.<   Got mine for $116 from Ebay w/ postage (which was the extra $17) from a seller with 100% reliability. Looks like he may have been a distributor of some sort, as he has plenty of stock, most of it Shure and Galaxy stuff..

Quote: Good to know that I'm not alone.   Only other pair of decent Earphones I've had are some $80 Sony in-Ear's. Sound good, but they broke :(   I am probably the biggest noob here :P   Good to know that I will now be expecting a few changes once they bed in, as I am not...

Just purchased a pair of these bad boys from Ebay (Brand new) for $97 AUD.   Can't wait for them to arrive. I haven't bothered going through the 22 pages for impressions, but would be great to know exactly what I may find apart from a fun IEM, replacable cords and thumping bass :D   Btw...
