So, I used to build headphone amplifiers and some of you might even have some of my creations. And now, I need to clean out the garage. So, everything I have left is up for grabs. The only catch, you have to take it all.   What I have? Three Akro-Mills full of components (resisters, all VD...

Got mine today, and the clear bass definition is incredible. The staging is really, really good.    I'm coming from years on my SE535 (since release, they've been my only IEM I ever use) and the sound is so much nicer. I'm shocked, honestly.

I loved the DT880 for the exact type of music you mention. I bought them in 2003 I think, so they were an earlier model, the ones that came in the metal box. I powered them with a PPA amplifier from a CD player source and they sounded great. For a while, I powered them with a Apple Airport...

I don't think the e500 his as much as the e4c from my experience with the 4g ipod. Also, using the HD Audio Renderer @ 24-bit 96 KHz (change settings in QuickTime when using iTunes/ALC) these have a real nice sound to them but I have to use the included volume control since the line out...

FYI, I never got a shipping notice, e-mail, etc. I just got a box this morning via USPS. I ordered in early May, not sure of the date exactly but I think I posted here when I made the order about it.

I guess they figured with a name like that they would never end up in the top 10,000,000 search results on Google.

I got my e500's today too. I let them run for about three hours with a loud setting just lying on my desk while I attended to some work/meetings/lunch and am giving them a listen. Bass is strong, midrange is very good, highs are brighter than I expected and not fatiguing at all. The midrange...

e500 received!

Thanks for the update, I'm shure people are anxiously awaiting their parts! I'm not shure if mine have shipped yet, but you can be shure I'll be checking my e-mail soon. There should be a ton of reviews posted soon I'm shure.

Wow, a four-year member, and your third post is letting everyone know that you already have a pair of e500's in your ears. I would wait for more people to get the units and see what happens. I'm going to try mine with a unity gain PIMETA setup with resisters inline to take the hiss out of...

Thanks for the update Todd, I presume our credit cards won't be charged until they ship as usual?

Someone from Shure replied to another thread asking the exact question and the response was that the shaft diameter has not changed so they should fit with the e500.
