Well another set of 500's have shorted out. So I am now debating between the triple fi or the Shure se 215, 315's. So I a, open to people's insight on these headsets. 

What is your take on the TS2's or the MS1's.  Whatever I buy I would want to hear a noticeable difference in quality,  like I did when I moved to these from the Apple set that came with my IPhone. 

Quote: Good question I thought the lows were good, but in some cases got muddy. The mids were fine, but the highs seems to be an issue on this pair. The were there but not defined or clear.

I saw the TF's on sale at Amazon for 162.00 that would be the top end. I prefer a balanced sound, but I don't want to loose my low end like some IE sets like to do. I will be using this set to work out in along with listening to music at my desk. 

I currently have a pair of 500 vi's I got a second pair as a gift. Being i already had a pair I returned the second pair. Being I have the extra cash is it worth adding a bit of cash and upgrading and use my current pair as back up? I was looking at the UE 700's or the triple fi's. I listen to...

I currently have UE 500VIs, I was wanting to know I listen to A LOT of audiobooks and hip hop. Would these headsets be a worth while upgrade for me? Also foes the VI cord from Logitech work on the st5andard set or is there a cord out that I can replace that will control my Iphone?
