My new Se530's, thoughts and questions
I agree with the previous poster - I find the comply tips to be very comfortable while still producing great sound (YMMV). I use a line out cable from my iPod into a Voyager amp and have no hissing. These are very sensitive (low impedence) earphones and it sounds like they are picking up...- Logman

A Little Disappointed with Shure
Like many E500/530 owners, I experienced the cracked cable problem. When I contacted Shure about it, I got a very brief canned answer: "Please see Shure - Service Policies for directions on having your product repaired and possible pricing if it is outside of warranty." Unfortunately, my...- Logman

Help with D2!
You may also want to try a website called purplemoo.com. They have screen protectors for just about everything. If they do not have something for your player, they will also quote a custom screen for you. I used them to purchase a screen protector for my camera. Some of their protectors seem to...- Logman

Yuin PK1-PK2 impressions thread
obentou - Sorry to see what happened to your PK1's. You might want to try putting some non-conductive epoxy on them. That should help hold everything together and you might get a little more life out of them.- Logman

Are boostaroo amps worth it?
A friend of mine had one and I tried it out. I did not think that it sounded very good. It was loud, but rough. I think you would be much better off buying a good starter amp from someone upgrading their system. Lots of them to be found in the for sale forum.- Logman

Question for PK-1 owners!
PK1's leak very little sound unless the volume is WAY up. They are great for the office or for use around a spouse that does not share your love of music- Logman

c&c box+ or xm4?
I have the C&C box amp and would say that it is an OK amp. I didn't like it all that well with my Etymotic ER-6's, but do like it with my Shure E500's. I have not heard the Practical Devices amp, but it seems to be a little higher rated in the forums than the C&C. It probably doesn't matter too...- Logman

If you are sure that IEM's are right for you, I suggest the Shure e500/530 (same IEM) - especially if you like bass. If you are not sure, you may also want to spend your $300 on a decent portable amp and some Yuin PK1 earbuds. I have both and prefer the PK1's unless I need the sound isolation.- Logman

Most comfortable / low fatigue earbuds / IEMs?
I have the PK1's and the E500's. Both sound terrific in their own way. My choice usually comes down to the environment I will be using them in. If it is reasonably quiet and/or I want to be able to turn off my player and immediately be able to talk to someone, I go with the PK1's. If I want...- Logman

What's your favorite IEM tip for Shures, Westone, etc.?
Like most of you, I have tried a lot of different tips on my e500's. I had a long trip a few weeks ago and was able to do a lot of back and forth tip comparisons. Overall, I found that the moded bi-flanges provided me with the best sound. However, the large Comply tips were the most comfortable...- Logman

Shure SE Series, best value?
In case you are looking for a reference, I purchased my E500's from bobsound1 and it was a good experience. Quick delivery and product just as promised.- Logman

my shures spoiled me
I don't know of a list of low impedence phones or even a list of manufacturers that make then. You might try a Head-fi search on a couple of key words such as "low impedence", 80 ohm, 32 ohm, etc. It might be more fun just to browse the web sites of the usual suspects - Sennheiser...- Logman
