I've used earphones and IEMs for as long as I can remember (ety er6, se530, etc) and just recently decided that I need a pair of headphones for pc gaming and listening to music while I'm at my desk. I've been around a few different shops to try out headphones, but most stores only sell low-mid...

I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of headphones in the $150-250 (canadian) price range. I'd like to pick up a pair primarily for playing FPS games (mostly Overwatch), but from time to time I'd also like to listen to music on them (thrash metal, classic rock)   I've heard that the...

is there anyone on this board that has a 530 with the newer cable type that is having problems with it? Ive been searching the forum endlessly for someone saying the new cables have problems but havent been able to find anything yet, although it could just be my bad searching skills

when did you buy your 530s?

well i wouldnt say i never had issues with shure cables, because ive never owned a pair of shures before, Ive just never had any cable issues with my etys or my jays is what i meant I heard that shure changed the insulation on the 530 cables a while back, are these new cables any better than...

ah JR are in america, gunna be a pain getting it shipped to me + import etc etc btw do you know if the newer 530s have better cables than the one that most people are complaining about?

300? where from? I just figured if they discontinue the 530 and I need a replacement, they wouldnt really have anything to replace it with apart from 535 if they dont make the 530 anymore

are these going to replace the 535s, meaning they will discontinue the 530s? if I purchase a pair of 530s now and the cable breaks, I throw it in for an RMA and get a replacement, will I be given 535 in return?

wow i never even thought of that lol as a side note do you know if the Shure PTH will work with a phone? pick up/end calls etc

So I'm in the mood to replace my d jays for some triple driver phones and been looking at the se530s but I heard the 535 are coming at some point later this year would it be worth waiting for the 535 or just buy the 530 now? I don't mind waiting until like the summer for new phones but I'm...

so I recently bought an iphone a few months ago and Ive been using my d-Jays with them. one annoying thing is when im walking around listening to music and my phone rings, I have to dig to get my phone out of my pocket been thinking lately of purchasing a pair of Shure SE530s and I saw they...

how durable are the d-jays? ive been reading some websites and i remember one of them saying alot of people complain about the d-jays because they fail after 6-12months of use is there any truth in this? id like a new pair of phones which will last me more than 12months...

I just recently bought myself an ipod touch and will be buying a pair of earphones for them but given that I dont know much about the subject, im not sure which to go for my options atm are etymotic er6i's or shure se210s theyre the only 2 which ive read anything about, but which would you...

I saw some at heathrow airport, so if ur going on a flight you could probably pick up a pair just before you board, but im not sure if your airport stocks them

im looking for a pair of canalphones to replace my sony ones any recommendations? ive been looking at some of the shure and etymotic ones but not sure which to choose these will be used witn a iPod listening to just about every type of music available apart from hip hop and dance and i...

what are the main difference between the ER6 and the ER6i? theyre about the same price, so im looking for a pair that sound best with an ipod i heard that the ER6 series has problems with the cable rubbing against your shirt and you'd pick up noise through the phones? that true?

what do you mean by easier to drive? im fairly new to all of this might seem a bit fickle but the reason i didnt look at the ER6i was because theyre white and ive never been a big fan of white phones but if theyre significantly better than the ER6 then i will consider them...

which out of these 2 in ear phones would you recommend? the shure e2 or the ety er6? theyll be used with my ipod whilst im on a bus or walking around town etc

well thats good to hear altho whenever i listen to music through them, afterwards when i take them out my ears are very quiet? i cant really hear anything, its like coming out of a loud concert. ive never had this before with music at the same volume, so i assume its just the way earbuds work?

ive never owned a pair of canalphones, so im just wondering how far into your ear can you push ex71 without causing damage to your eardrum?

anyone? what other good earphones are there for under $70?

whats an amp? Im sure you dont mean a pre and poweramp combos like you get with guitars?

im not a big fan of the ex81 design apparently the ex71 has a lot of bass? is that going to be a problem when it comes to softer music? and who makes the e2s? btw ideally i would not like to spend more than $70 on these

Hi Im looking to buy a new pair of earphones cos the ones that come with my Ipod are really painful and fall out all the time I dont like the type that sit over your ears, but rather the ones that sit in your ear canal any recommendations? the stuff i listen to varies a lot, one day it...
