It's more than obvious that RMC was violating their terms with Shure by advertising them for 129.99. They were doing us a favor, and we were able to get them for a low price. It's highly likely that JR was the company who snitched RMC out to Shure, looking at all the customers on here who tried...

The SR60i has improved bass and can't be compared as the SR60. Just keep in mind that you're not upgrading as you move up their line. You're paying more for a different sound.

You said earlier you used them for all of zero hours before forming an impression of them. Your sound impression means zilch because of that. All of my Shures have needed burn-in in the past.

Did you buy the right adapter? There should be 3 metallic surfaces on the plug. You said you bought a mono adapter. (2 metallic surfaces). That basically means you're only going to get sound on one side. Go buy a stereo adapter.

Comparing the HF2's to all other things I have's made my mind spin. After a while, things start sounding the same. I'm happy with my SR60i with bowls. I don't need anything better to enjoy my music.

Senn pads suck. Don't every buy them. They absorb so much sound that music doesn't sound right anymore. You'll end up paying more by trying to save money. Grado's are generally very uncomfortable. First, try bending the headband out. Bowls can help, because there's less padding pushing...

Burn-in and material fatigue are two different things.

Why doesn't Jmoney just list his product on Amazon Marketplace? He'd have the customer base of the entire country. Replacement earpads aren't exactly easy to find for these headsets.

But how does the SRH840 compare to higher priced headphones? Everyone wants to compare it to comparably priced headsets, but the question is whether it's underpriced at $200. Does it compare to $300 sets, for example?

Can someone come up with a mod for SC's? Put good drivers inside it.
