I have some surround sound albums, and the rear channels aren't playing with this setup - any idea why?

Quote: Unfortunately i'm about to become a poor uni student so can't turn into a full-on audiophile buying lots of pairs, but I will definitely keep these on my list for when I do need a new pair, thanks :)

Yeah, really annoying as I paid 10% of the product's price just to get next day delivery for nothing. Well I just ordered another pair which will arrive tomorrow, and will post the first pair tonight, as long as they don't dick move me and say something like "these aren't broken bro, no refund"...

My SE215s arrived... but there seems to be a bad connection in my right ear, though that was also the one that died on my pr200s. I'm at work now, but I'm gonna mess around with some other things to see if it's the shures, or if it's the sansa clip+ itself.   Oddly, I tried quickly swapping...

How else do you wear them? Quote:  

As I understand, the 215s have the same cables, oh well - i'll take a bit of nuisance of cabling as a trade off for tough cables. If you say that the memory wire part is useless, then what do you do - surely you can only wear the shure se series over the ear? Quote:  

Alright great, thanks for all the help and advice, I'm still a newbie round here :)   edit: is there any difference of the CL edition?

Yeah, it's the law here and amazon even give 30 days (law is 7) about changing your mind - I see what you mean though. The majority of my music is metal and (prog) rock - with some industrial, electronic, etc. so perhaps the 215s are better suited to my music. Then again, if the build quality of...

Right, fair enough, I didn't realise the 215s had been a fotm.   I'm considering to get both models and return the one I like least, though that's a lot to sink though I've never had problems returning stuff to amazon before - is it standard audiophile practice to buy then return till...

Right, my only concern now is this thread which doesn't seem too impressed by the 315s http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/547048/shure-se215-v-shure-se315/15 - even going to say that some prefer the 215s? I would have thought they should be a clear step up.

So what is the advantage/difference of the 315s over the 215s? Both have detachable cables? I'd rather save the £40 if its just a bit of sound quality, unless the 315s are *that* much better. Or are the 315s the only model that has cables I can buy seperately? Quote:  

These are all almost twice my budget unfortunately. Quote:  

Amazon UK have three in stock at the moment.   I don't suppose there are any other options? I was very interested in the ironbud project but thats going a bit slow for my needs right now.

Can I actually get new cables for them or not though? I don't know what is causing them to fail so them being detachable won't help in of itself surely.

Hi all, I've been having a problem in that I go through IEMs like crazy. I've been through two pairs since early march (some a-jays, then some ecci pr200s of which one ear died today). I'm fed up of salvaging them by replacing the audiojack, which always results in a messier bulky end there...

I just thought I should inform head-fi that it's advice on me getting some m50s has utterly ruined my ECCI PR200s forever, and my speakers aren't much better. They sound too good >_<

I just got my m50s today, but i'm terribly tempted to get some ad700s to see if they sound better with this, the wider soundstage and all...

Hi all, I was wondering whether anyone had come across a switch that would take the input from the pc soundcard, and have a switch that would pass it along to either speakers or headphones. I could probably make one but with exams around I don't really have the time. I often swap from speakers...

Well I just got my first pair of audiophile headphones. Well okay, they are only M50s, but it's still a step-up from senn201s! The sound is blowing me away right now, especially with freesurround+dolby headphone in foobar :)

I think my biggest problem is that throughout the day, I leave mine attached to my mp3 player which is in my pocket, and i'm sure that the 3.5mm jack will get most of it's bashing then, but I like to keep my IEMs attached being leaving them running down my back keeps them straight. It's also a...

How constructive, why not tell me how you store yours instead of increasing your postcount? :rolleyes:

Chucked in the box? Wrapped in a loose circle?

My ECCI PR200s arrived in the post today, and I was wondering what the general consensus of head-fi is over storing earphones? I've seen various techniques online but then naysayers saying that x and y damage the cable, shortening their lifespan (My IEMs always die at the 3.5mm jack end). Since...

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy some headphones (fullsize) on a budget of about £100.   I mostly listen to rock/metal, and would prefer if they were comfortable for a couple of hours usage.   I was looking at the Sony MDR-V6s or the ATH-AD700s, but I'm not very well geared into what's good...
