Hello I've looked at a few IEM threads on here and still can't decide on a suitable pair of IEMs.  I would like to go with a high end/top tier IEM from the start.     Price: ~$300 ( Possibly +$50-$100)     Music:  Mostly female vocals ( Techno, Trance, and Pop).  Occasionally some...

  Hi everyone, I am glad to say that I received my beautiful 8-wire Hybrid  "Copper(Type 2 Litz) - Clear sleeving 26awg/SilverGold (black sleeving) 26awg" 2 weeks ago. Hence bare in mind, below are my initial sound impressions that don't take the Burn-in period into account. As always when...

Hi everyone, this is a slightly complicated situation. I have a pair of Shure Scl4 IEMs and am looking to replace them. This is due to the top part of the cable being slowly ripped away. I talked to a Shure representative via email and he said that the store I bought the earphones from (Steve's...

Does anyone know how much it is to get the wires replaced on Shure SCL-4's? Is Shure the only one who can do it or are they other companies that do wire replacements? Thanks in advance

My Shure SCL4s have finally kicked the bucket after a botched repair (We were so close...then a misapplied needle-nose ended that progress irreparably.)    While I'm considering the out-of-warranty replacement to SE425s for $155, I'm thinking about full-size options as well. I like the...

Hey guys, been a while since I've posted here...   I've been through a handful of IEMS: Shure E3c, E4/ SCL4 (x3), and now Etymotic hf5s. I was a pretty big fan of the Shures, but all the E4/ SCL4s broke; by the third pair I got fed up and switched to the Etys 18 months ago. The sound is...

I received my se425s after sending my 6 year old E4Cs into Shure... Awesome CS, BTW. The sound on the SCL4 seems to be better overall. The se425s completely fall apart on cymbals and snares - most of the time you can barely hear cymbals. When you can they sound like fingers-on-a-chalkboard. I'm...

I very rarely post on this site but do pop back, every now and again.   My personal choice of IEM has been Shure, for quite a while now, since I bought my first pair (E4) back in November 2005, after reading quite a bit on this forum; you guys did a good job, as I eventually purchased a...

Hi everyone!  This is my first post here.  I have a pair of white Shure SCL4s that i bought a little over two years ago so they are out of warranty by like a month.  I absolutely loved these headphones, even though I found them uncomfortable at first.  The rubber that covers where the wire...

So, my second set of Shure SCL4s have cracked wires and I'm out of warranty. Replacement cost with Shure is $109, which I'm tempted to pay because I LOVE the sound of these earphones. However, I'm tired of this cycle of cracked wires. Can anyone suggest some current earphones that have similar...

I'm new here and under dire circumstances. My beloved scl2, that I have had for a years, are on their last leg. I've had to splice one of the earbud back in at the Y-junction. So, I need a new pair. I want to know what would be a get set to replace them with. Hopefully something as durable and...

Long time lurker first post.    I am vexed. My Shure SCL4's cable finally went and I was not buying another shure with their terrible build quality. So I did a little reading and got a set of UE Trople Fi 10's off of amazon. SO I get them today and jack into my PC to test them out. Now while...

Hi all,   I had to send in my trusty SCL4s due to a break in the cable house that was exposing the inner wire (thank god they were still under warranty!), and just received the replacements. I'm wondering what they are though... They _look_ like my old SCL4s, but the shipping form and the...

  I’ve had the EarSonics SM3 for about two weeks now, and I think it’s time to give them a review (pictures can be found at the end).   Packaging   The EarSonics SM3 comes packaged in a rather small box (I was surprised to find the size of the box to be much smaller than the huge...

I hate to buy some more phones so soon after getting my scl4's but I can't help being curious about something with a more "fun" sound. With the current sale on Altec's rebranded super.fi 3 (uhp 336) I was thinking about picking those up, I have $30 off from buy.com so they would only cost me...

It's been awhile since I stayed up on IEM's, 2008 to be exact. ER6i and super.fi 3 were the defacto standard sub $100 offerings, and other smaller brands were just making an appearance. Still have my SCL4's, which I'm quite happy with. Got in the logitech super.fi 3 deal, and just kramer modded...

I was checking around for the new midnight deals just a minute ago and O-M-G - Shures! SE310. Check it. HoopStick - Stick of the day (Yes, they're a legit company) I don't know the quality of these Shure's in particular, so don't blame me for this it's crap. Please keep this thread UP so...

How long have the nozzles on your Shure IEM's lasted you? Can't recall the last time I used my SCL4's but they certainly worked fine then and when I went to use them today the sound out of one side was lower so I swapped nozzles and they the problem was now in the other side. Clearly the nozzle...

I have been a loyal customer of Shure for 5 years.  I have dealt with the crappy build quality of the E4 and SCL4 because of their good support.  I have returned my phones for warranty replacement 4 times in 6 years.  I have always received a new retail package until today.  I sent in my fourth...

I need to upgrade from 4+ years of E4C and SCL4.  I would love to try out some different phones before I buy. Anyone know of anything in the Denver area?

Several years ago I bought Shure E4Cs after doing my research on these forums. They were $300 MSRP but I paid $190 or so. The high end at the time was the E500s I believe which could be had for around $300-$350 (MSRP around $500). My memory isn't so good so this may be a little inaccurate.  ...

I will soon be receiving my fourth pair of SCL4 for warranty replacement.  Since I can't sell these for enough money to buy something comparable, I will be stuck with them until they fail and I have to get pair #5. What can I do to prevent the cable going to crap?  I wear them over the ear. ...

Hi all, I'm looking for a new pair of headphones; I prefer closed cans. I have the Sennheiser HD 500 and the Sony V6. The HD 500 sounds warmth but the volume is a bit too low for me even when I turned the volume of my computer or ipod all the way up. On the other hand, I really like the Sony V6...
