thanks for the reply!   I actually already own the HD 595... and found the bass to be anemic! I don't like boomy phones (I have Beats Solo 2)... but the 595 was just too bass light for me.   How about this.... whats an upgrade to the Shure SRH 840 sound? is the SRH940 better than the NAD...

Hello all,   I'm in a bit of a pickle. My Shure SRH840 broke.  Quite upset as I am not a headphone abuser but Shure wouldn't help me and is asking me to send it in at my cost and paying the $89 replacement fee (USD). Understandable given that it's out of warranty but still.... These are...

Hey all,   I'm a musician and I've been with UE this whole time - only universals, not yet custom. I love the UE sound - hate the build quality.   Now, I'm thinking to upgrade - currently on the TF10. I figured the UE900's been out long enough that all the kinks should be fixed by...

So is this considered an upgrade from the TF10? I have the TF10, happy with it.. but I wouldn't want to plunk down $400 on something that is a lot better than what I already have..

Hi!   thanks for that! I will definitely look at sound ID at oakridge!   Not quite sure I wanted to go through inearcustom - looked through the thread - full of disappointed people! I think I will go through the unique melody route it's not that much more expensive! Funny how there are...

Hi all,   I'm a musician who play on stage regularly. I love my TF10 in-ears (moved from Super.Fi 5 Pro in the early days to these). Been using these for years. The cable is wearing out though and I figured this is the time to upgrade.   However, the UE900 - the next logical upgrade...

Sennheiser HD555 - foam = HD595

Considering you can only boost up sound on a 24 bit track up by 6db before it clips, yes you can hear 3db...

It was under $350 :)

Bought a used sennheiser hd555 for $55 off craigslist. Did foam mod to turn into hd595

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Sennheiser HD 555 with Foam mod Shure SRH840 Alessandro MS1a with Grado Bowl Pads

So...in conclusion,   the best bang per buck would be the HD555... below $100 nowadays Foam mod it to get it up to HD595 and the difference between that and the $250 HD598 is tiny...   Less than $100 is better than $250

Quote: I won't be using the cans for studio recording - I have the Shure SRH840 for that. I wanted one as sort of a reference, uncoloured set that I can use when I'm arranging, mixing, playing with effects/sounds etc. Outside of work, I also want this set to be the set I sue when I kick...

Quote: I thought Open headphones are generally better per $$?

Hello all,   what's the most neutral (balanced), detailed headphone, with fairly balanced and extended bass thats ideal for mixing/critical listening but also does not need an amp for the iPhone?   - Currently have the Shure SRH840 (studio recording work and general listening) - love the...

1. UE TF10 - great all rounder 2. Shure SRH 840 3. Alessandro MS1a

Hi all,   Long time lurker here... But I have a question for you guys... I am a musician and enjoy good music, and good music quality. My musical gear journey went like this:   Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 Pro (on stage in ears) then I got Shure SRH-840 then I got  Alessandro...
