And the SE846.  This really was the first universal I've ever tried that's "wow'ed" me.

have you tried these?

TF10's are definitely MORE neutral than the se530's and UM2 but they are far from neutral themselves. the highs are too sharp to be considered completely "balanced"

i have both, and if i had to choose either or i'd take the se530's. they make rock sound alive with the distortion you can almost feel. it emphasizes the sounds of electronic music perfectly, as well as hip hop yes, the tf10 are more analytical headphones. but what do you want in terms of a...

In reality both the Shure Se530's and TF10's are about $300-350. Although the MSRP for the SE530's is nearly $100 higher, they realistically both sell for the same price through their retailers (both authorized and unofficial)

my se310's have taken a beating for a year and half and are my headphones i'll bring to the gym, camping, etc. they're still alive, after near daily gym

use this thread guys. i'm still seeing a TON of "what headphones?" threads floating around every day

if you think the se210's don't have enough bass man, theres not much you can really do. you're boned

i tried making a headphone thread but no one is using it LOL

Alright guys, I noticed there's at least 2-3 threads a day dedicated to new members who want to know which set of IEMs/Headphones/Earphones to get. In addition to the HUGE amount of forum spam this makes, a lot of these posts don't get answered since there's so many damn threads. Post your...

pure water does nothing too bad to most electronics. if you just dry it out, it usually works perfeclty fine. however, if there are any electrolytes present (salts, potassium, or even other organic compounds), it can cause damage. unfortunately, sweat is full of them

this sounds awesome quit bashing it before we get a review. stats mean very little by themselves

i currently have both, the se530 is the way to go!

hmmm by distortion i meant guitar distortion (as in using distortion pedals), not the speaker distorting the intended sound. does bass mean a lot to you? if not, the er-6i might be for you. it's a very crisp, detail oriented headphone. however, it's lower frequencies are REALLY light, and...

well what are you looking for in an earphone? what sound range do you like the best? do you really like the high frequency sounds, like in the beginning of Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Part 1)? or do really like the rockin guitar solos and crunching distortion?

it's a little above your budget, but have you thought about the q-jays? it's a dual armature earphone thats TINY and has some decent sound. look around for some reviews

i LOVE floyd with the se530s
