*Gets the ball rolling* I bought my Sc Ink'd Buds after I bought my first decent headphones, the aforementioned UE Super.fi 5 Pros. I love them, they work perfectly for school, I don't need to worry about losing or breaking them and the sound is sufficient for what I payed. They do exactly...

A lot of the replies you get here will be the same ones repeated a million times before. Just use the search tool and sort the threads so the most recent appear at the top. You will get a much more diverse view much quicker Hope that helps ya, J

Irony: Skullcandy Ink'd buds (the buds themselves) fit better than any of my UE Super.fi 5 Pro buds, so I just attached the Sc ones to my UEs lol.

Then what phenomenon did I experience when the painful silibance disappeared in my IEMs after leaving them to break in? I can't accept that there is no difference.... Surely some Super.fi 5 Pro owners can back me up here... :/

Aren't the OE's very uncomfortable? I haven't heard any good things...

My little town has less than 90k people, yet we still have two Bose shops lol... I'll probably take my UE Sf5p's and my iPod down to one of them and see if I can demo a pair. That way I can compare detail and get a sense of the comfort. The euphony had better be good if I'm going to buy them. If...

How much value should I hold in this quote from shellylh? Quote: ...the 440's just sounded like a cheap can. The Shure guys had me try the 440's with the 840 pads and they sounded like a cheap can with more bass, not good. I wouldn't even consider buying the 440's at this point but I am...

Interesting, thanks for doing that research, Ham. Do you know how these and even the SRH440 would compare to the Bose AE?

I find that if I even touch the iTunes EQ, it screws the sound up something awful...

Sorry to dust this off but I thought this would be a good place to raise the following question: Assuming all of the cheaper BOSE equivalents were the same price or more, would you still not buy BOSE? I'm asking because importing Audio Technica/Beyer/Denon/some other good equivalents will be...

Did you read the manual? :P

Ah, I suffer too much from buyer's remorse to do stuff like that, but good luck to ya!

I'm sure Google can help you find a company that will ship to Oz. I have a similar problem in that I live in SA, but it can be done. We have a shop called 'Want it All' that imports from Amazon, for instance. I think that the RMA-PIA will be much more of a PIA if you try to RMA a Frankenstein'd...
