    Any BT IEM's similar to SE-215?

    Ended up with Bluebuds X. They sound close to the se-215's to me, similar sound stage.

    Best closed headphones without amp around $150?

    I've decided to stick with my IEMs for now. I just didn't find many of the over the ear models comfortable or better sounding than the se-215s. I think I'll revisit these when my budget is larger. Seems like sub 200 headphones don't drastically improve the quality over my IEMs, at least not to...

    Best closed headphones without amp around $150?

    I just tried the m50x and dt770 (80 ohm) at guitar center. The dt770 were way more comfortable but my iPhone had trouble powering them and even at max volume was relatively quiet. The m50x sounded pretty nice but were considerably less comfortable, especially the headband. Would the 32ohm...

    Best closed headphones without amp around $150?

    Sounds like they may not be the best fit for me based on the preference of se-215's style of sound.    Would any of the DT770 models (16, 32, or 80 ohm) be better or worse than the M50X without an amp?

    Best closed headphones without amp around $150?

    Haven't heard of them. How do they compare to the M50X and/or my current se-215 IEMs?

    Best closed headphones without amp around $150?

    That does seem like a good deal, but from everything I've read if I'm going to get an M series headphone, the 50x will have much better overall sound vs 40x, right?

    Best closed headphones without amp around $150?

    Looking to get a pair of closed headphones with a max budget of around $150.  I'm used to the sound of shure se215's and Jaybird Bluebuds which seem to both have very similar sounds which I enjoy.  I believe these both tend to have a "v-shape" sound to them.   Looking for something to be used...

    Jaybird Bluebuds X distortion if EQ is not set to flat?

    I picked up a pair of Bluebuds X last night.  I paired them with my iphone and started listening to music on pandora and noticed a lot of popping and cracking when bass would hit.  I was able to get rid of this only when I turned the EQ completely off or flat.     Is this normal?  I was really...

    Any BT IEM's similar to SE-215?

    Thanks.  The guy it the video seems to like them, but he doesn't really compare the sound between the two.   Hoping I can find someone on here that has experience with both and can give a decent comparison.  I'm not planning on getting rid of the Shure's, as I'll still use them at work and...

    Any BT IEM's similar to SE-215?

    After researching online, the most commonly recommened BT IEMs are the Jaybird Bluebuds X with comply tips.  People say they have a V-shaped sound which, on paper, is similar to the se-215's.     Does anybody have any experience with both that can compare the sound quality between the two?

    Any BT IEM's similar to SE-215?

      The UE-900 cable has a mic, volume controls, and allows you to skip tracks, rewind etc.  It also has much better memory wire around the ears that seem to keep the cable in place much better.  Sound wise I don't remember noticing a difference, but they definitely stay around my ears better...

    Any BT IEM's similar to SE-215?

    I have a pair of Shure SE-215's with a UE-900 cable and I really like the setup, but I'm considering getting a pair of bluetooth headphones so I don't have to mess with cables when working out or running.   I really like the sound of the Shure's and their isolation.  Are there any good BT...

    Kick but cheap Shure SE cable upgrade

    Is there any better option than just using some electrical tape to join the wire just below the microphone and volume control?

    Kick but cheap Shure SE cable upgrade

    They sound pretty similar to me but I'm definitely not an expert. I love how they for around my ears. Just wish they had a slider thing. I guess the real test will be how they do at the gym and running.

    Kick but cheap Shure SE cable upgrade

    Figured out left vs right. I also really like the way these fit around my ears vs the Shure memory wire. I think these have worse micro phonics towards the top of the wire by the mic when it rubs against my shirt. Still would like to hear any workaround on a neck slider adjuster.

    Kick but cheap Shure SE cable upgrade

    They just came in. I'm disappointed to see they don't have a slider to get a tight fit when wearing like the stock Shure Cable did. How are you guys dealing with that? Also how do I know which cable is left vs right?

    Shure SE215 iPhone cable options

    Quote: I ended up buying the logitech cable, hopefully it works better than the Shure cable.  My old se115's died to due cable failure and now my 215's have as well.  Apparently Shure can't make a decent cable.

    Shure SE215 iPhone cable options

    Bump.  Being impatient, I'd like to order today, need something new ASAP.

    Kick but cheap Shure SE cable upgrade

    About to order these for my se215's.  Do they have the same or less microphonics than the stock shure cable?  Microphonics drive me nuts and want to make sure i'm not taking a step backwards in that department with these.   Thanks.

    Shure SE215 iPhone cable options

    After doing more searching I found that some people are using the replacement cable for the UE900's which run $25.  I'm leaning towards those now even though they are blue instead of black.  Anything else better before I pull the trigger?

    Shure SE215 iPhone cable options

    I've had a pair of SE215's for over two years now and my stock cable is shorting out.  The replacement cable is 30 bucks and the iphone version is 50, however, it appears to have horrible reviews on amazon and it is criticised for not having the memory wire around the ears.  Is this the only...

    Best Headphones around $100-150?

    I typically listen to spotify at 320 or mp3 ripped at 320. I think I may just stick with IEM for now as I don't really want to deal with an amp. The cable on my 215 is shorting out so ill have to get they repaired under warranty. Maybe next purchase ill look at the higher end ultimate ears or...

    Best Headphones around $100-150?

    Just tired a ton. In general I was surprised how low the volume got on each of them through my iPhone vs my SE215s. I guess I really would need an amp. I thought the shure 750dj were incredibly uncomfortable. Didn't like at all. I tried the shure 840 and they had too little bass. I liked the...

    Best Headphones around $100-150?

    Guitar center by me says they have the m50 and 750dj in stock. They don't have them on display so I will have to open boxes with sales guy. What other models should I try that they may have in store? M50 best for 100-110? Anything between 100-160 that is better or worth the extra 50-60 bucks?
