My decision has been made already, the FXA7 for $199.99, but I'm sure someone out there will read this one day with the same question, so, let's entertain this hypothetical upgrade. The 535 will indeed match the durability of the 215, but from what I've read the bass is just not there. I was...

Got mine for $199 on Amazon in Gold, payed $3.99 for 2-day because the Gold would have taken longer to get here. The tips are a nightmare for me. On this thread they mentioned that Comply ruined the SQ. Is there any hope? :) They sound like the Shure SE215 and Sony XB90EX combined into one...

Update: After putting off my upgrade for a few months, I came across the Fender FXA7 on Amazon for $199.99. The more I listen to them, the more I enjoy them. If anyone needs any comparisions between the FXA7 and SE215 or XB90EX, I can do that. They need burned in still, and the tips are...

Simgot has put up the EN700 Pro on Amazon for $149.99. It is back-ordered until October 28th, and I may get it then or on the 1st.

Nope, not in Europe. And there are some new wireless crushers for $120 online here. Had some car troubles so I probably won't be buying some headphones any time soon. It's still fun to research though.

Thank you. From what little I read they offer SZ2000 style bass with the rest of the spectrum modeling the ATH-M50. The price is a bit hefty, so she would definitely kill me for buying her those, but its nice to know that there are other things out there. Taction Kannon noted.

Unfortunately, I am not selling my Sony's. There is one available on the Head-Fi Buy-Sell-Trade for $150.

I am looking to buy new headphones for someone who has what is known as Single-Sided Deafness. She currently owns the Skullcandy Crushers, (older) wired edition. For her, the Crushers have been a miracle. The dedicated vibrating driver gives her the feeling of bass, and she really enjoys that...

I have not yet. I will surely update this thread when I do, though.

Great. I emailed Penon Audio, and they have the Simgot EN700 Pro in stock for $149.99 (though their website says differently). Thank you for your time, I'm sure these will be amazing. Now I wait for a friend to pay me back so that I can get them. -.-

Looks good to me. I am really leaning toward those over everything else, however, I will not stop my search here. I'm going to wait and see what others say as well. How is the 2-pin/EPIC cable compared to the MMCX?

I do hope somebody else chimes in as well. It may take a few more days. I understand the meaning of bright, and I do believe you intend smoother as in the opposite of bright, but could you describe smooth? The only smooth sounding music I've heard came from some Bose IE2, but I don't think...

Have you heard the iBasso IT03? It's a tad bit over my price range, but I am leaning between it and your recommendation (though yours is out of stock on Penon Audio)

I liked what I read about the EN700 Bass (aside from it's lack of detachable cables), but I won't know about the EN700 Pro until some reviews pop-up. One thing I did notice was that the colors designating the side were...odd. Usually left is blue, and right is red... I will add your...
