GRANDMA : The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and...

A guy is lying in his hospital bed, wired up with drips and monitors, breathing with the aid of an oxygen mask. A young lady comes round the ward with the tea and newspaper trolley. Approaching him she asks if there is anything she can do for him. The guy looks at her and asks "Are my testicles...

Frank was excited about his new rifle. So, he went bear hunting. He spotted a small brown bear and shot it. There was then a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to see a big black bear. The black bear said: "You've got two choices. I either maul you to death or we have rough sex."...

caramelsoul, you do have some strange sense of humor... BUMP OldPA your jokes are always welcome...

I enjoyed the CM7ti immensely, especially with well encoded mp3’s or out of cd’s, their tonal have really something special/magical (kudos to ATH), not so much with poor encoded mp3’s though. But better than the 2X-S? Wow However, I’d take my E500 over them any time of the day, not even in...

Hi, infinitesymphony, it wasn’t a sudden loss of hearing but the continuos use of the ‘phone, even when I knew I should not have. I am 100% positive that was no season change or sudden loud noise, but the Grado’s cans - I know, (im sorry it’s getting late here and cannot go into much detail)...

No, you don’t need to go to an audiologist, (yet). Also because the audiologist cannot do much if you damage your hearing, apart maybe for giving you some hearing aids. What you need to do is give the Grado cans a rest or better still get rid of them altogether. That pressure you’re feeling...

Quote: Is it normal for some wax to be left on my IEM tips when I take them out of my ears? Like sticking a finger in your a** to find s*** left on it. pretty normal btw, I wouldn't flush the ears excessively; wax (unlike ....) is there for a reason and the hearing needs it...

The e500 have all that you’ve described, plus more… much more - not even in the same league as of the im716. If I’d have to describe them in a word, precise comes to mind. The bass it’s like an explosion, a powerful explosion, but a controlled one: it doesn’t move or touch more than it was...

thanks for the reply turkishdelight... much appreciated. I gave Shure a call and they will send me a new pair -- awesome! nice people over there, very polite and helpful -- wish there was some CS like that here in Italy. can’t wait to receive them, music just isn't the same without them. I'd...

on insight the question is: how long before the stalks on the other E500's will break? I'm afraid is a design issue. I must say I'm always careful with all my stuff, in particular the E500; I've never put them in a sutuation where something like this may happen. I believe the pressure to the...

I hope you're right; will email Shure or HR and see what they say. just handle the stalk with care!

Just to add my 2c to the hype… Received mine yesterday morning ( €55 of duty beside the $38 of shipping - ouch). Could only listen for less than half an hour - first impression not overly impressed but pretty pleased. Spent few more hours in the evening. The thing I’m most glad atm is that...

the Super Fi Pro 5 sound pretty pleasant to me. nice balanced sound. I find the bass a bit too much, but it's only a matter of personal taste. you shouldn't be disappointed. bought mine from HeadRoom -- received after 3 days (from usa -> uk), unbelieveble! don't know about the other 2's

go to an audilogist and ask to do an earing test - takes about 15min. here in London, UK, (to my surprise) are usually free. check it out in ur area. then you know for sure
