Thanks for the reply, MoonYeol!   Yeah, I considered that, too. However, I am total noob when it comes to such things... But I was planning to ask a professional electrician, whom I know, before getting anything from Westone. Nearly forgot about it, though. Thanks for reminding!   Hm, I'm...

Hi again!   As an update to this: I ended up getting the Westone 2 and here a bit about my recent experience: (Also posted in ljokerl's IEM review thread)   For all of you who think about - or might one day think about - getting the Westone 2: I got a pair as a gift in April 2011 and...

Congrats to the 300 ljokerl! Awesome job! Still can't believe that you are a single guy! I've recommended this thread to so many people already, cause it's better than many "professional", non-free reviews!   Enough flowers, the reason why I write this time: :)   For all of you who think...

Quote:   Quote: As I am getting my second pair of nice IEMs and I want to keep them in a good shape for as long as possible, this is interesting to know. It sounds like this damage could be caused by wrong usage? What would that be?   Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)    

  Interesting challenge since I'm about to buy new IEMs for personal usage and I had a look at the Monsters. However, I will probably go for Westone 2 instead. So testing the Monster Turbine Pro against those and my currently owned Panasonic HJE-900-k would be nice.   I am a music lover...

Quote: Thanks for that feedback. That sounds pretty good. I treat mine pretty similar. However, I also use them to listen to stuff when falling asleep which might be a bit more tough for them... Do you know anything about warranty? How long and what conditions etc?   Quote: Hm...

Thanks db597. That's interesting...   Quote: Couldn't find a specific review/comparison thread by James444, he did too many. :) Can you point it out a bit more for me? Maybe with what he compared them or so? Well, I thought the same about my JHE-900 calbes as they looked very robust...

  Quote: I think you are right, I must have read the reviews on the SE210. If I may ask: you previously owned the JHE900, right? Why aren't you using them anymore and comparing their sound with the SE215's one, what's your opinion? Thanks!   Quote: Indeed, they have a...

Quote: Ah, ok. Thanks! I can't really imagine that the headphone itself, the phones so to speak, would ever get really damaged. The problems - for me at least - have always been the cables. With cheap headphones at the connector to the music source, with my JHE-900 the connection of the...

Thanks people for giving me more feedback! I finally also found ljokerl's famous and amazing thread.   About the Shure SE215s: I know it's not the best source but quite a few people on amazon complain about their durability. I didn't know that they have replaceable cable, that's really a...

Hm, too many pages! :)   Can anybody give me a quick response about their durability or build? If you own them for more then a year (sorry if I am stupid and they haven't even been on the market for so long...?), treat them rather roughly, and they still don't look damaged or the cables are...

Thanks for answering Napilopez! That helps a lot... I guess I'm gonna purchase one of each kind, just for the sake of back-up whenever one of them breaks again. :) How is your experience with the cables, the original ones and those you bought extra? How long did all of these last for you and how...

sorry that I double post, but thanks to and in response to TopsinTEC and rymd, I just found these:   http://store.sleek-audio.com/accessories/sa1replaceable-cable.html   I wonder if these would also work for my JHE-900-K? Or are the connectors for the headphones different than those...

Quote: thanks for that. Found the image quickly: http://assets.head-fi.org/d/d9/d9157665_IMG_20100916_200658.jpg it's then over ear but i'll give it a try. At least a cheap solution for my JHE900...   Looking forward to more input about the e-Q5, the ER-4P, and maybe some...
