    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Well, my twerp decided he should file a Paypal dispute claiming "not as advertised." I'm hoping my response, which was to bump it straight up to Paypal to resolve without any further communication with him, will bring about a clear resolution. He says it won't play with his Shure amp in between...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Thank you, Spook, I felt sure of that but didn't want guilt gnawing away. I've always tried to be a fair seller.   Bob

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Hi, I have a question as I just sold my 1500s and the buyer, within an hour, said there was a problem he had researched with the AK players, 240 and 380. First, I sold them only because the package was too heavy to carry around in summer in Texas. The sound was lovely; certainly better than my...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    For anyone looking for a deal on the kse1500, I've reluctantly decided that I need to part with mine.  Everything written about the sound quality is true, although I haven't listened to the Roxannes to be able to make such a comparison. I find myself getting maybe three chances a week to listen...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Can't let my 846s go completely either.  I've had the KSE1500s for two weeks and feel they're much cleaner than the 846; I'm able to pick out and concentrate on individual instruments more in much of my music.  That said, as a two year owner of the 846s, I had two new pair on hand and was going...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    When I read your previous post I was going to respond the same. I've enjoyed my Plussound Echo silver/gold for 2 years now and just wish they had offered the mic back then. I got an extra plug set at the y-splitter so I could switch to a separate mic without removing the cables from the iem.

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Mine just arrived today about noon, my fist day back teaching after the holidays. I charged them until about the time school let out but had math tutoring after school tutoring so could not play until after that. I stayed a little late to plug in the flash to mini usb and start Yes, Fragile. I...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I have owned Plussounds echo in gold/silver for two years and love the sound; warm and bright at the same time compared to factory. Had just one problem with intermittent loss in left ear and determined by switching cables it was in the cable. That was after 1 1/2 yr. Sent them back to Plussound...

    Any more info on static problems from connector usb?  Isolated to one unit or potential problem with first generation?

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Here is where Shure's reputation should give you some confidence. I've owned one form or another for 8 years. When the 846 right earbud went out in November, they sent me a new pair. When those both stopped within two weeks, I suspected a cable problem damaging the connectors. I sent cable and...

    Pedro, I just received the moderator's welcome message after reading your pm. Looks like I'm limited to one per day and I shouldn't have indicated anything for sale. I'll send your my personal email tomorrow. Sorry, head-fi. I've been a fly on the wall here for months and value being a member...

    Hi, I'm Bob from Dallas. I have a nice set of lps that date back to the late sixties that I've just been getting reacquainted to since having my Bang and Olufsen 8002 turntable rebuilt. I've been buying upgraded earbuds since the iPod days before iPhone but I'm not as knowledgeable about mobile...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    This is what I was afraid of, but can the ability of iTunes to record in higher sampling formats help me? I can hear the difference, even with old ears, and find myself arguing constantly about how much better my old but pristine lps sound compared to the CD.  If the iphone supports better...

    That is their quoted repair cost. You must return out of warranty report ear bud and they replace it, as it's not efficient to open and repair it. I looked into it when I returned a second pair in two weeks at the end of my two year warranty. I thought it was the cable. They sent me a new box...
