    Shure SRH840 - proprietary adapter?

    Sorry, I should have been more specific in the original post; I meant to say a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter (as the headphone's socket is 2.5mm) that locks in like the Shure cables, then I'd use a standard "ControlTalk" 3.5mm cable between the adapter and the iPhone. I've tried using a standard 3.5mm...

    Shure SRH840 - proprietary adapter?

    Hi there, I'm looking to see if there's a 2.5mm adapter for sale anywhere that'll fit Shure's propietary connector (the twist-to-lock one)? I'm asking, as I would like to use a cable with iPhone functionality built-in (three-button remote and mic) while I'm outside. I did look around on Google...

    I'm worried about buying a Fiio e5

    I've had the E5 for nearly a year and it's still working great for me. :) I'm using it with my iPod Classic, and I don't experience any hiss with it. The only thing I don't like about it is there's no low battery warning, so I have been caught out a few times. Besides that, it's still a bargain...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: I can't remember how many days it took me to get a reply from Monster, but it was definitely a bit longer than usual (it was about four or five days), as it was during the Thanksgiving weekend. As for receiving the cushions, they sent them out on November 30th, and they arrived on...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: Yeah, they are a bit average on their own, but with the amp, they're much better. And yeah, you're right, I could get something better for £90, but I didn't really have much choice when I got them. They were an exchange for my previous pair before them, which were the Ultimate...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: Yeah, I'd agree with that. The Solos cost £150, and my main headphones are the WeSC Alp Horn teamed up with a Fiio E5 amp. The headphones cost me £90, the amp was just over a tenner on eBay, and it sounds better than the Solos. I got to test out the Beats Studio headphones in HMV as...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: Absolutely nothing. All I did was contact Monster support, say I needed a replacement pair (I even offered to pay if they wouldn't give them away for free), and when they did reply, all they said was "sure, just email your address and we'll get them sent out". They didn't even ask...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: Actually, I decided to be generous, and give them to my dad, as he has no real pair of headphones. Plus, he's relearning the guitar (he even went out and bought a brand new Epiphone Les Paul, and an amp to go with it), so he could do with a pair of headphones for practicing...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: Haha, you're right there!Honestly, after using them for at least half an hour, I am done with them. There's far too much bass, and the sound seems muffled. It's the same story on the Beats Solo HD as well. My WeSC Alp Horn is much better, and that cost £90, plus it sounds more...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Quote: Oh yeah, I forgot to update this (sorry!)!   I got a reply from Monster (although the email said it was from "AMD Europe") on the 29th, saying they had a grey pair (the ones that they use on the white Solo HD headphones) that they'd be happy to send out, so I gave them my...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    I'll post some pictures; they might help.             I've got the black one, but I posted the white pictures as well, as they're easier to see.       I also took some crude measurements of the ear cups to try and help. :P It might be able to help scout out...

    Beats by Dr. Dre Solo - ear cushions?

    Hi there. I've got a pair of Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Solo headphones here. Now, I know pretty much every pair of headphones bearing Dr. Dre's name gets a kicking here on the forums, mostly saying they're a waste of money, and I agree with that, but I got these for free. :P (In case anyone is...

    What should I get?

    Hi everyone. I'm having to revive the thread again. I'll just bring things up to date. In the end, I went with the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 vi. Unfortunately, they went faulty last week (sound gone from one side), I phoned up Logitech, and after sending them a picture of the headphones with my...

    What should I get?

    So unfortunately, the Sennheiser IE7s are out of the question now. I'm down to just in-ear headphones now, but still torn between quite a few: Klipsch Image S4 - £69.99 Klipsch Image S4i - £89.99 (the S4 but with a mic and three-button controls for iPods and iPhones) Shure SE110 - £79.99...

    What should I get?

    Hmm, it's definitely an option. I couldn't find any reviews on the US CNET page for the Sennheiser IE headphones, but on the UK one, they've got the IE6, 7, and 8 all there reviewed. 9.0/10 for the IE8 (same as the Klipsch Image S4), but that's out of my price range, 8.5 for the IE7, and 8.4 for...

    What should I get?

    Before I head off for college, I'd like to ask another quick question. If I end up getting a pair of in-ear headphones, should I splash out a little bit extra and also get some Comply foam tips for them?

    What should I get?

    OK, time to revive the thread again. I went for the Shure SRH240s again, and well, they went faulty last week during a flight. As I was in Jersey at the time, and didn't get back until yesterday, I'm only just beginning to get it all sorted. It's a different story this time round...

    What should I get?

    OK, after waiting a while for iHeadphones to go through their Christmas returns and then open up mine, Jamie (from iHeadphones) finally sent an email on Wednesday confirming the Shures being faulty, but he recommended that I get a replacement instead of an exchange. He reckoned I was just...
