It's the holidays (and also my birthday) so I'm looking to upgrade from my Shure SE215's. I like them but I'm having some cable issues and I just generally want to upgrade.   I'm looking at the Aurvana 3, GR07 MK2, and Klipsch X10. I primarily listen to a lot of rock/alternative/punk, and a...

The cable on my Shure SE215's, after quite a lot of use, is starting to break and stab my ears due to some memory wire problems. I know I can replace the cable, but with the holidays (and my birthday!) coming up I have a little money coming my way and I think I may just give in and upgrade.  ...

This made me laugh out loud:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0019RBJOE/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new   The prices under "Featured Merchants" start out reasonable. Then increase. Then more. Then the last one on the list is $100,000. I can't begin to comprehend this.  ...

Haha okay they're going in the trash. They're truly groty, if I decide I need mediums instead of smalls I'll just buy a new pair.

I bought my Shure IEMs probably 8 months ago. I could never get the tips off, and I was perpetually afraid of freezing them. Today I finally got sick and tired of disgusting headphones, though, and decided to pop them in the freezer. Who would've thought doing the one thing everyone told me to...

May I ask, where is everyone getting the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 for $100? I'm searching like crazy, I can't find them under $150. Can someone toss me a link or something? Literally everyone says they go for about a hundred bucks, but I have yet to find them for that ANYWHERE and I'd really like to...

Right now, you can find the Shure SE215 online for as low as $80, more commonly about $90. I know this is a little over your budget, but I'd say consider it nonetheless. I absolutely love mine, and it SERIOUSLY blocks noise. They're also very comfortable, the Shure olives are very comfy if they...

I'm in the market for a similar thing at the moment. Some that I'm looking at are:   AKG K450 Phiaton PS230 (or a higher end Phiaton that actually has noise cancelling, if your budget allows for it) Klipsch Image ONE Audio Technica ETH ES55   I can't vouch for any of these, it's...

My experience was that Monster has done multiple versions but not necessarily updated the boxing. I bought new Turbines off Amazon a while back. I got the older angled plug, two cases, and all the tips. The outside of the box showed that they had an adjuster for the cord (no version has had...

I'd like to throw the Ultrasone PRO 550 into the ring. First of all, it'd be under your price ceiling (it tends to go for around $150). Second, I've used it for the past several months, and I love it. It's super comfortable, it has a good strong low end, but it has an overall balanced sound...

I saw it mentioned above, I'd like to second the advice for the DJ1 PRO/PRO 550 (same headphone, different shell). I bought the PRO 550 a few months ago, and I really love it. It has strong bass and a massive soundstage. The bass isn't like head-shaking, it's a more balanced sound, but it...

I feel like I'm constantly posting on here lately... I suppose it's because with the holiday's coming up I just can't decide what my future audio purchases will be.   If I could, I would buy an HD 25-1 II. But I can't; I really can't blow $200 on a pair of headphones right now.    I...

Quote:   Wow thanks for the super fast replies. Awesome, I'll be sticking with my beloved Shures then (and if I do buy any new on-ears they'll be something like some sr60i's/sr80i's for home use haha, but I probably would've done that anyway. I don't have to look for something...

In the coming months I'll be doing a little bit of flying. My headphone selection currently consists of my Shure SE215K IEMs and my Ultrasone PRO 550 cans. The Ultrasones, as much as I love them, are gigantic. Not fit for travelling gigantic. It's not so much the appearance that's a problem, as...
