Well after raving about my BT3S a weird thing started happening - the balance starts to shift to the left. Then it fixes itself sometimes. This is with multiple different bluetooth sources. I wondered if it was my CCA earphones, so I switched the sides, and that reset it to normal middle balance...

My TRN BT3S just arrived and I like it a lot. I'm using it with a CCA C10 and the 0.75 pin version. It just works. Well.

Se215!

Only you can decide that. They are both very well made headphones, buy the one that puts a bigger smile on your face.

I got the e7 because I like the rubber cover and the side buttons. I can't hear the difference between the e7 and the e17.

EBay one! They age well and they are practically indestructable.

I think the shure se series with the separate headset cable could be worn straight down. The headset cable connector is 90 degrees. Earphone solutions I think sells them together as a kit.

For a quick fix you could try the monoprice dj headphones, they are 20something and have a removable cable.

After a few years of bike commuting with Messenger bags I switched to waterproof backpacks instead. The Messenger bags were killing my shoulder and compressed my sternum when heavily loaded. I use Orlieb bags and I see more and more couriers switching to backpacks as well.

Poweramp.

You could also do what superlux did with some of their phones, and terminate the cable with a jack one inch from the driver, and use an extension cable.

I have the dt770 80ohm and just tried the custom one pros and they are not up to the dt770.

Interestingly the TF10 price jumped up to $200 on amazon.

Time to start buying and selling IEMs on the trading forum!

Only you can decide that for yourself. I would open the x10, even though the atrios are one of my favorites.
