Glad to know the s2000 work for you too. They look thinner than anything I've seen in that style... something like 7mm. If they don't protrude past the surface of the ear but for the wires, it'll probably work. I'll chat with them on Monday. They are in my timezone :) Better than dealing...

Thanks for the info. I'm very leary of any straight bodied iem/earphone because the ones I've tried.. even very small ones end up banging my ear when I lay on them. I also saw they do not have multiple size tips. How squishy is the body of the earphone? How's the SQ of the sleepers? I'm...

I'm looking for the same side sleeping issue and need them for tinnitus therapy at night as well (with a timer). I spotted the Advanced S2000 at around $25 on Amazon or at the Advanced-sound website. They have that flat UM /SE profile but are really thin. The Tennmak look to thick from the...

I have to admit, I'm a bit curious why you chose a straight earbud style in-ear design with mmcx connected cable coming straight down (or up for over ear). That's not typically the most comfortable or stable configuration IMO. I'm skeptical that you have a coherent design goal for the package...

I've entered the contest.. but in the mean while, if you need more reviews of the universals I'd be more than happy to oblige if you forward a pair out for review :) They look fabulous.

if you research headphones or earphones under $100 here in the forums there is lots of reading and comparisons to be done, also some less expensive ones that users seem to like rather well. Happy Reading.. watch your wallet

BTW... I've seen E5's advertised online by an 'authorized dealer' for $349. Considering their MAP rules, I was surprised. If you bought through an ebay store, it might in fact be an authorized reseller!! Flat rate repair is $145 from Shure in the US (from their web site)

doesn't sound like the kind of thing that a burn-in would 'fix'. what is the impedance of the HD580's compared to the FreQs (if you even can find a spec for the FreQs - LOL)? I wouldn't trust an iPod for anything..

Have you tried a different source? It could be harmonic distortion caused by some type of impedance mis-match or some issue with the source amp once you get to a high enough drive level.
