Did you just yank the foamies right off the nozzle? Or even if if you twisted it out too hard and fast, it could become lose then fall off! Remember with these phones, be extra gentle. My E500 cable split a while ago, turn around was 4 working days which is very very impressive. Just post...

I'm no expert in breaking music down to low, mid, high but I simply just prefer the sound of W3, I'd say it's warmer and less "harsh" or forward/bright is the word(s). And this's probably why I'm now having no fatigue with W3 after even a few hours. My immediate reaction was that W3 sounded...

My immediate reaction with W3 after more than 2 years with SE530 is that bass is definitely better than the latter, so much more refined and "truer". I listened to The Killer's "Sam's Town" and the drum was just phenomenal, you just know that how bass is supposed to sound Everyone is on about...

Woo hoo, just paid for it via Paypal with 15% discount, total plus P&P = £226 Can't wait.

I really can't see they would exchange a new pair just because the cable is "green". The cable of my ex-E5 was as green as it gets and I didn't notice any degradation in term of sound quality. They're not obliged to replace it as long as the earphones work normally.

This piece of advice was given by a guy from Overclockers UK on the Sound forum. He should be imposed a keyboard restrain order for life. Good Lord Clingfilm modded earphones? What on earth was he thinking? The Shure E2c's are not great - they do lack bass compaired with the best out...

Same here in London, the best I have seen so far is one Shure E3 and some E2 and this is the Square Mile we're talking about. I have a feeling that I'm the only one who wears E500 in the whole city. Why don't they have some sort of "Dummy: The Guide to Sound Equipment" course Quote...

Me too, eventhough I like the sound but these freezes drive me crazy. For home use RB's interface is okay but on the road I've realised that it's just so inconvenient compare to Apple's. And the battery drains down so quickly, won't even last a trip to work there and back. Guess it's time for...

I'm happy with the sound but not with the playback. It skips or glitchy about 3 times everytime I play an ALAC file, this is even with EQ off, no Peak Meter and simple theme. Guess I will have to wait for an update.

I don't own E500 nor Ety ER4s but from the feedbacks so far the E500 looks about to blow Etys out of the water, right down to the bottom. But I could be wrong! Quote: Originally Posted by Roasty so can anyone compare these directly to a pair of ER4P/S??

Just sold my E5, while I like them very much, two things that have bothered me recently. The massive splitter, it's too big and heavy therefore put strains on my ears, the earphones are not particular comfortable to wear for long hours. I believe these two issues have been addressed in the new...

You should get shot for posting pictures like this. So damn cruel....... Quote: Originally Posted by fierce_freak Speaking of sucking, I got mine earlier today They're not actually black..they're very reflective and sort of bronze-ish.

We're used to it! $499 = £420 that's how they calculate it, if not $499 = £499 if you know what I mean They must love UK market Quote: Originally Posted by Zoide £420 = $780 What a ripoff...

Reading this reminds me of how well Shure E5Cs are built. After 1.5 year it's still as good as new never had any problem with it what so ever. The built quality of Sensaphonics in that picture is horrendous.

Exactly!!! Quote: Originally Posted by shuurajou This would all be fine if Shure actually distributed them in the UK. Nowhere in the UK even acknowledges they exist and no UK sites listed on Shures website have them even on pre-order.

I understand that Shure has put a lot of pressure on small businesses like earphonesolutions.com, they love big retailers like Amazon or Bestbuy or whatever. People visit Amazon to buy cheap Sony earphones, books or to rent DVDs not to buy $500 IEMs. I don't understand why they can't see that...

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you, just received email from Todd's ------------ Hi, Sorry but I am not permitted to ship Shure products outside the USA. Todd ------------ This sucks, absolutely rubbish. They're going to sell it here in the UK for £400. I'm really pissed now...

Just got this message from Earphonesolutions.com, I don't understand what's going on? Why can't they ship E500 outside the US? Does anybody know a seller who will ship it to England? I haven't tried to email the others but I think only Earphonesolutions.com doesn't? Am I correct...

Still can't customize EQ??? Apple doesn't give a toss about sound quality, they add this stupid video thing to lure those white-earbud lovers to spend more at Xmas time. Who is going to watch videos on a bloody 2.5 inch color screen? I asked one of those guys @ the so called "genius bar" why...
