I am looking for the best IEM for someone who loves the way the Sennheiser hd595 sounds. I am currently considering: q-jays shure se310 shure se420 ety er-4p What is the best choice given my sound signature preferences.

"I want you" off Blood and Chocolate is the track that got me into Costello in the first place. It is chill inducing.

I just had a thought. Am I better off buying one headphone that is a jack of all trades or should i buy two $150 dollar phones? One for relaxed music and one for things that need more punch.

Jagorev: How do the hd-600 handle things like punk rock or grunge? Fante7: What do you like better between the dt-880 and the hf-1 in your sig?

I am looking to upgrade from my hd-497s to something in the $200-$350 range. (I also have about $400 for an amp/better source) My tastes are fairly varied and I have a tendency to crush on a particular genre for a while before moving on to something else. I need a phone that can handle...

As far as I know they have not released any studio albums in multichannel but they have released 3 live dvds that are in 5.1. Listener Supported Live At Folsom Field The Central Park Concert Between the three I'd pick up either Listener Supported or the Central Park Concert. (can't...

I am also a little gunshy about upgrading my portable rig from a hd-497 to the shure e4c's. I have grown very accustomed to the level of bass from the 497's, but I need the isolation and portability for plane flights/dorm room and so on. How big of a difference will there be?

are the 595's close?

Obviously the 580, 600, and 650 are technically superior to the 497s that I have now, but how do their sound signatures compare? People say that the 580/600/650s are laid back. I have never noticed this with the 497s so if the 580/600/650 series is about the same as far as how forward the...

Which of these two amps would you get to power senn 595's or 580's? The classic would cost me about 180 with the AD8620/10's and a 24v power supply. The Pimeta costs 200. My source will be a chaintech av710 so the rca inputs of the classic aren't that big of a deal. I listen to alot of funk...

Daycart1, aspects of the sound signature makes you prefer the 580 to the ER-4S? Any other opinions on these two phones? JohnRich, do you like the sound signature of the ER-4S better than that of the 580 or do you just prefer their portability and isolation?

I plan to run it off of an audigy 2 zs (I'm a gamer and a college student so at the moment I can't to do better). Will the SR-60 be an improvement to the 497? Also about how much would a decent amp cost? If I do get an amp how are the ER-4S compared to the 580s?

I currently own a pair of hd-497's and after a great deal of lurking have decided to upgrade to something in the $120-$180 range. Just from reading other similar posts it would seem that the 580's are the best deal at this price point if you already like the sennheiser sound. (though I would...
