I haven't heard the qc20s, but I loved the 425s.. They were very accurate to me, without bloated bass or anything like that.   Comfort wise for extended periods, I would go with Bose.

Oldies but goodies... Livewires and ipod classic. Need to get a new case for the ipod!

This is the budget rig. Sony A728 and Yuin Pk2. They sound great together.  

Man these portable rigs have gotten really crazy over the years. I haven't frequented Head-fi as much as I used to. Looking at these rigs I feel less bad about the money I spent on mine ;)

My version of budget-fi - classic 7g with yuin pk2 recabled to a palliccs plug. Sounds great.    

The case is agent18 ecoshield, which is available from amazon for $6. The lod was a custom build by fraggler from the forums. Have fun!

It's been a while, but I am back. These rigs have gotten super crazy!! I've attempted to keep mine as minimal as possible so I can  use it everywhere.   Nano 3 ->Xin SuperMini IV -> Silver Custom LowPro -> Yuin Pk1 The rig is kept together with 3m mounting strips, which are incredibly...

  Just got this from a forum member here. DIYmod 3rd Gen. Looking for amp solutions now.

    Great review. I don't think these headphones got a fair shake here on head-fi when they first came out...and that is probably due to the fact that people were using them as plain listening cans instead of portables. I agree with everything you stated in your review.   Quote...

I can report for the se425. I LOVE this model. Very clear analytical sounds compared to my previous experience with the se530s. Quote:

Another update to my mini rig. Got the shures before, but just got the clip+ in. Great combo. The warmth from the clip+ is the perfect blend with the se425s analytical and crisp sound. Love this rig!    

Quote: To be honest, I haven't given it a sufficient listen yet. I have been balancing them with a huge haul of cans I got from a seller here as well as a pair of shure se425s. So far loving the shures a lot so I have been listening to them a lot. If/when I get a good chance I will be...

        New setups since I am just getting back into things on here on head-fi.

  [   Been a while since I posted here on head-fi, but I made a significant headphone purchase! The IEM grab bag I picked up from iano turned out to be a HUGE HAUL!! $180 for a crazy amount of stuff! Here is what I inventoried after unpacking the huge box! I guess I made up for getting no...

Been away a long time, and just dropped into head-fi to check out the shure line up. I like the look of 425s (yes call me shallow) haha so I wanted to do some research. Here is a nice youtube vid comparing the 535 and the 425 at CES. Some good descriptors there - but of course could be BS as...

Man this thread title totally is what I felt when i went back to head-fi after 1 year.

Quote:   I have clear customs and went this route. But what you can do is pick up a pure silver cable  in white/clear - those ones do not oxidize. I had one for a while before I traded for a regular UE cable. I didn't like the memory curl that happens when you stow it, and my connectors...

Quote:   Thanks but I have a pair of Ue5s that I am getting a UE black cable to use with - a kind member here reterminated it to a straight plug for me, so that is what I will use. Rawrster, what is the contact info for inearz?       This is the design im going to do on my...

Quote: Thanks for the run down. The fisher cable looks nice. I would do the ES or the UE cables but they oxidize BAD.

Cool thanks for the quick reply.   Just going to go ahead and get the impressions and send the livewires and order form out then. Do I need to get in contact with them first?  

Nice thread,   I am going to give this a try with my Livewires, which have always had a poor fit. I never got around to remolding them because I had a pair of ue5s that fit perfectly. Been dying for new color and a different design though. looking at Darkblue translucent with my initials as...

Check out Chris Mansell specfically the Fountain soundtrack...very nice. Him and steve jablonsky are my favs aside from zimmer.
