    First serious IEM SE420's I can still hear sound around me with them in

    I watched that video and rolled the foam between my fingers, as well as kinda did the 90' turn and it seems to have helped. If your experiencing the same problem as me, watch that video it helps show you how to wear your Shure SE IEM's.

    First serious IEM SE420's I can still hear sound around me with them in

    I was trying to show size of my ears compared to the IEM's to see which size is best (should have been clearer). I have tried all the sizes and can't figure out which is the best seal, based on sound getting in.

    First serious IEM SE420's I can still hear sound around me with them in

    I was going by reviews and other threads on here that said with no music, I should be able to hear no snapping of fingers, or someone talking beside me.

    First serious IEM SE420's I can still hear sound around me with them in

    I just got the SE420's on Monday, but am having real trouble with them. I squeeze the foam, insert into ear, hold until it expands, but I can still clearly hear music around me (from computer), snapping fingers etc. I'v tried all sizes, changed the foamies a good 50+ times and so can't get that...

    Shure SE420's for $280 (today only) but are they the right IEM's for me?

    Shure SE420's for $280 (today only) but are they the right IEM's for me?

    The sweet spot for price/preformance was my thinking as well (I was looking at the SE310 earlier this year, but then saw the 420's for $50 more and it seemed a no brainer). In the gym (though my iPhone will be in my pouch) I will use my shuffle with music that to me makes me move. Sweating at...

    Time to replace my 1996 computer speakers - Need Advice

    I got some speakers from A&B Sound on a boxing day sale in 1995 or 1996 for $115. They are 50watts and nice. The problem is for years now, the bass nob went inside the right speaker etc. We've looked at replacements before, like when my mom moved back to Vancouver from Saltspring. But the 2.1...

    Need new IEM's for my iPod nano, last pair died

    Which $100 IEM's (also include the e4c's) have thick or the thickest cord? That is going to be a problem with catching on things (like doors etc) due to my vision and balance.

    Need new IEM's for my iPod nano, last pair died

    After my afternoon nap an "Daily Giz Wiz," I like the headphones in my ears, since when lying on my side ear into pillow, the sounds seems to be in my head.
