    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    Yes, these are my go to in-ear phones. Bought a whole bunch of them when they were "on sale/close-out". Most of the time sound quality of in-ear phones can be very subjective, and these seem to suit me fine. The Headphone List THL had them regularly in their buyers' guide - The SHE3580/3590...

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    Yes, but not the actual SHE3580 - You can still readily get the SHE3590 (it is the same sonically as the 3580) off eBay (US)

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    Sometimes tips can be fussy depending on conditions like ear oils etc. Since the Philips 3580/3590 come with different size tips - might be worthwhile trying the different sizes in the ear that does not seem to have a good fit - that might help. Memory foam tips do help - and can be found for...

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    The Philips SHE3700 is not even listed on the Philips USA site.   However I did find it listed at Philips Australia.   Here are the specs for the SHE3580, SHE3590/10 (the successor) and the SHE3700 (from the respective pdf leaflets) you can draw your own conclusions -   SHE3580...

    The "current" versions are the Philips SHE3590 - but be careful when buying see the post directly above yours, and for the mic'd version is the Philip SHE3595 - please see details 2 post above yours.   Both of which are still available.   Best.

    Different SHE3590's?   The consensus is that the Philips SHE3590 is the same as the SHE3580 - enough that ljokerl and THL (The Head List) refer to them interchangeably.   Search for SHE3590 on the USA Philips site - the top result is:   SHE3590BK/28   click on Specifications tab...

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    FWIW - I have several pairs of the original mic'd Philips SHE3575 (as well as the SHE3580 and SHE3590) - I bought them initially when the opinion here on this thread was they were the same sonically as the SHE3580 - I did find them so - then there were opinions that said they were inferior to...

    Quote: Thank you for your understanding.   However the main point I was trying to make, regardless of my personal preferences, was people with much better credentials than me - like ljokerl, are making numerous sound quality references and comparisons with NO EQ   Thanks

    Quote: Thanks for confirming that joker does not use EQ.    Although he has not published his full review of the SHE3580 - it seems he is using the SHE3580 as a reference in 5 reviews - 4 are where SHE3580 are said to be better in the areas cited, and only one where it is not as good...

    Quote:   Quote: I think I should chime in here - I am one of those who likes the sound of the unEQ SHE3580.   Of course people don't know me from Adam so this is just one opinion. BUT let me quote a few people with better credentials than me:   ljokerl  from his giant...
