yea original cable i had worked but was too short for my setup, picked up a longer one at radioshack.  thanks  

This may be a dumb question.   -Will an 3.5mm to RCA Y cable with white and yellow (instead of red) RCA ends work to hook up speakers to my computer. Can I just use the yellow end for the right channel and white end for the left channel?      Bought some emotiva5 powered speakers (RCA...

i have e3's and just got e500's, I have had no problem with wearing them with my glasses. Sometimes if they don't wanna stay on your ears you can tuck the wire under the glasses which helps.

I just ordered some. I used PriceGrabber to search. I ended up buying them from this storefront for 345 w/ shipping, much cheaper than most places. http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sal...ip_code=70115/ the reviews are all positive, I should be receiving mine this week. You could post your...

well i ordered em, kind of impulsive but I was was definitely going to buy a newer shure model in the near future. I guess I will be able to judge for myself now in a few days.

thanks guys. Yea the se 420s are available to order from some places but they do not ship immediately. I think i'm gonna get the 500's, its a great price and its going from shure's second model to their top for me, so i'm sure i'll be extremely impressed by them. I wont be using these while...

Is the hiss noticeable while listening to songs or only, on pause? I found a site that sells e500 for 330, and the se420 would be 350 new. So the price on the e500 just seems too good to pass up.

i have all sorts of different quality for the mp3s i have 128-192, or variable. I can tell the difference with my e3's. I was doing some more searching, and I was just worried about this hiss that some ipod users were getting. I also noticed that the hiss complaint seems to be only with ipods.

I have some E3's that I use all the time, but I was looking to upgrade. At first I was looking to upgrade to the SE 420's but found e500's at a good price online. After looking through some threads some people said e500's were noisy or not that good when used with an ipod and some said there...

I know this thread is about the tips (i ordered some complys today after seeing this thread), but does anyone know when the Shure SE 310 will go on sale at big retailers or online stores. I have E3's now which i use all the time but have been thinking of upgrading to E4, but CNET says the...

my bro has a pair, i think they have good bass, I didn't find it overwhelming. They are also comfortable and put no pressure on/around your ears so thats a plus if you plan to use them for long periods of time.

aeron, i was in a similar situation as you when i found this site a week ago. I came down to the a700 and a900, bought the a700 today because a user who had both said the difference is not very great unless you have a well trained ear also the a900 cheapest online were 190w/shipping at...

dulath, ok i'll post some feedback when i get em. I bought mine from jr.com and used google checkout for an addtnl 10 bucks off. here is the link if you are interested http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.proc...eed.AT+ATHA700

i just ordered the a700. i'm no audiophile so i doubt it will make a big difference. the 900's wouldve been over 190 with shipping so i decided to save some money. thanks for everyones advice, i know where to come now next time i'm ready to buy some more headphoens.

DDF that was very indepth, thanks for your thoughts. After last night and doing more searches its come down to the A700 or A900. I've ruled the beyer out for use with portables. Is it worth the price difference ($70) to get A900 over A700 A700-$110 A900-$180 I realize these are big, but i...

i would only be wearing these to study at a library, coffehouse, home etc.

a900's are too much, unless you know of a place where they cost $150 i've found a good price for the a700

I'm going to buy one of these - AudioTechnica A700 or Beyer DT 250 80ohm (thanks to the users here, i didn't even know about these brands) I want to buy somthing asap but would like some opinions I am looking for comfort (4+hrs use), isolation, quality these will be used with a Creative...

i will second the px100's- light, comfortable, compact(w/case) and they sound good w/o being too expensive.

Slides - instead of getting some hd 595, I'm going to buy either AudioTechnica A700 or Beyer DT 250. I haven't bought anything yet. I'm also no audiophile so feedback from me probably won't be helpful to most on this forum.

Ok after spending way too much time on this site and the HeadWize forums I've narrowed down my choices. I was very close to just buying the senn hd 595 but i realized that isolation is probably as important as comfort for me. The beyer dt880 look so sweet, but from everyones advice they won't...

thanks. after visiting this site for awhile i've finally discovered some closed cans that fit what i'm looking for

how is the leakage from these. I'm looking for comfortable over the ear phones for studying. Closed would be ideal, but the best ones seem to be open and I'm considering these or the hd555 at the top of my list. At normal listening volume, would i be bothering people in a library?

tuhnu - search on pricegrabber.com and it should come up. The impedance on these dt 880's is listed at 250ohms. I don't really understand impedance but from what i've seen on these forums it matters for use b/w a stereo receiver at home and an mp3 player. Is 250 too high for mp3 players?

Thanks for the comments. I found a pair of Beyer Dt 880 for $150(other sites 220 and up) online this seems like a huge deal, should i jump on this? Also will the beyers work fine with my mp3 player, since thats what i use the most?
