Quote: haha that's cool thank you :)   They are definitely under warranty and I sent an email to Shure about it...still waiting for a reply. I live in Australia and from their site and the little pamphlet that came with the headphones...the only service centre in the "Asia" region is...

Bump. I'd really like some advice!

I bought a pair of Shure 440s the other day. I've just returned from overseas - where I bought them from an authorised re-seller.   In case you aren't bothered to read the whole thing (I'm gonna explain what I think might be the problem?) - basically my new headphones sounded ok. I used them...

Quote:   Thanks :) I've been a few times before so I know my way around a little. I'll probably start at Funan, then head to Jaben. Hadn't heard of the other one so I'll probably head there too :) So keen to try out headphones (though I think I might have decided on a pair of Sennheisers...)

Hey to those of you who have owned these...do you think they would be a good buy for someone who's never owned proper headphones? I want something good quality that I can fold up...and these seem to pretty much fit the bill. I listen to mostly "alternative" rock, a bit of classical and a range...

Quote:   I've been doing that all last night and this morning :D I've been searching head-fi looking for more recommendations and all that. Tis good fun. Thanks for the advice :)

Not going to Japan I'm afraid. That sounds like fun though XD  I'm going to Singapore and I know some good electronics/audio places there...some of the smaller ones do good prices on other tech so hopefully the same goes for headphones. And everything is SO much more available there than Australia.

Quote:   Thanks i'll take a look :)   Most electronics are a lot more expensive here. The Australian Audio Technica site has the m50s for $219 in fact. I doubt i'll end up getting them for much less than $180. Even if I get them overseas there's always shipping and warranty issues...

Quote:   Wow thanks so much! That's really helpful. I'm definitely going to look into these. Thank you!

Quote:   Oh...they're nice. Thanks! Do you have any experience with them? I just found them online for AUD$180....they seem to tick all my boxes (except the inline remote thing...but I can probably live without it). There aren't many places around I can actually give them a try though...

Quote:   I don't need an inline remote but it's preferable. Just looked up the Shure ones...they look awesome! Though a little hard to find in Australia (and amazon never seems to ship any headphones outside of the US!). I could try them when I go overseas perhaps....   Thanks :) I...

Hi there. I've been using apple earphones for years and I'm sick of the quality. I've been saving up and want to invest in a pair of decent headphones, but I have no idea what to look for really.   What I do know I'm looking for: - Closed headphones. I tend to listen to music a lot when...
