or better dont tell me . . . this topic is about e2 solid or not solid bass and not about e2 highs.

hi, headRoom wrote "Solid bass response" for e2. http://www.headphone.com/products/he.../shure-e2c.php Many people who own e2 wrote abot solid and massive bass too. I use them for about one week (burn-in process already done) and in my opinion there is no solid bass especially when you...

hi, I use shure e2 with creative zen Xtra 60Gb and muvo tx 512. The problem is I can hear lcd working, presing buttons, operating the menu,hard disk read etc. Is there a player that plays ONLY the music on low impedance canalphones like shure e2 ?

my z5300 suck too :/ any logitech/creative speakers suck !!! for music only hi-end speakres (< 2000$) or good headphones (<= sennheiser 580).

my pseudonym in primary school was "HEAD" i need 12 clicks :/ but my head is not eliptic (long) but almost a square. comforting is that 580 have 14 clicks so people with bigger head than mine exist

me i know i look stupid in my 497 but any other open phones don't sound so good with my zen :/ maybe someday i'll paint them black

580/600 but only if good amped i've heard my 580 on a cmoy, pro-ject, musical fidelity x-cans, tpa6120a2 and I thought the sound was good . . . but some day I heard custom made hadphone amplifier dedicated for 580/600 and i was shocked the sound was gorgeous. I've ordered that amp. I don't...

497 are very bass havy phones even without an amp. I think 497 are the most bass hevy open headphones.

heh people don't get fooled . . . 580 are MUCH more detailed than 890. Even the hd497 are a LOT better than 890. I own all thre of them and when 580 is 100% detailed, than 497 is 80% and hp890 are maybe max 40%. Btw 890 are dungeon like very dark headphones. If you want 580 to sound like 890...

hd580: 2 side Y cable, i prefer 1 side cable like hp890 hd497: startrek look, after 1h uncomfortable, Y cable hp890: poor mids, very dark - dungeon like sonic signature, indistinct-blurred but very havy bass

hd580 @ home hd497 not @ home btw i don't use my headphones only when i'm sleeping

today i've tested my 580 and audigy 2 and i didn't have any low frequency disort problem. . .. ofc the sound is 100% better when using pro-ject amp and pcm2702 usb soundcard.
