yea original cable i had worked but was too short for my setup, picked up a longer one at radioshack.  thanks  

This may be a dumb question.   -Will an 3.5mm to RCA Y cable with white and yellow (instead of red) RCA ends work to hook up speakers to my computer. Can I just use the yellow end for the right channel and white end for the left channel?      Bought some emotiva5 powered speakers (RCA...

i have e3's and just got e500's, I have had no problem with wearing them with my glasses. Sometimes if they don't wanna stay on your ears you can tuck the wire under the glasses which helps.

I just ordered some. I used PriceGrabber to search. I ended up buying them from this storefront for 345 w/ shipping, much cheaper than most places. http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sal...ip_code=70115/ the reviews are all positive, I should be receiving mine this week. You could post your...

well i ordered em, kind of impulsive but I was was definitely going to buy a newer shure model in the near future. I guess I will be able to judge for myself now in a few days.

thanks guys. Yea the se 420s are available to order from some places but they do not ship immediately. I think i'm gonna get the 500's, its a great price and its going from shure's second model to their top for me, so i'm sure i'll be extremely impressed by them. I wont be using these while...

Is the hiss noticeable while listening to songs or only, on pause? I found a site that sells e500 for 330, and the se420 would be 350 new. So the price on the e500 just seems too good to pass up.

i have all sorts of different quality for the mp3s i have 128-192, or variable. I can tell the difference with my e3's. I was doing some more searching, and I was just worried about this hiss that some ipod users were getting. I also noticed that the hiss complaint seems to be only with ipods.

I have some E3's that I use all the time, but I was looking to upgrade. At first I was looking to upgrade to the SE 420's but found e500's at a good price online. After looking through some threads some people said e500's were noisy or not that good when used with an ipod and some said there...

I know this thread is about the tips (i ordered some complys today after seeing this thread), but does anyone know when the Shure SE 310 will go on sale at big retailers or online stores. I have E3's now which i use all the time but have been thinking of upgrading to E4, but CNET says the...

my bro has a pair, i think they have good bass, I didn't find it overwhelming. They are also comfortable and put no pressure on/around your ears so thats a plus if you plan to use them for long periods of time.

aeron, i was in a similar situation as you when i found this site a week ago. I came down to the a700 and a900, bought the a700 today because a user who had both said the difference is not very great unless you have a well trained ear also the a900 cheapest online were 190w/shipping at...

dulath, ok i'll post some feedback when i get em. I bought mine from jr.com and used google checkout for an addtnl 10 bucks off. here is the link if you are interested http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.proc...eed.AT+ATHA700

i just ordered the a700. i'm no audiophile so i doubt it will make a big difference. the 900's wouldve been over 190 with shipping so i decided to save some money. thanks for everyones advice, i know where to come now next time i'm ready to buy some more headphoens.

DDF that was very indepth, thanks for your thoughts. After last night and doing more searches its come down to the A700 or A900. I've ruled the beyer out for use with portables. Is it worth the price difference ($70) to get A900 over A700 A700-$110 A900-$180 I realize these are big, but i...
