If you want a better bass response then the SCL4's with nice mid's, give the SCL3's a try. At $60, it is also a great buy. I ordered a pair of both.

It is good to know both Musician's Friend and Guitar Center are both authorized Shure dealers. Makes me feel better about this deal. Shure Link

Sounds interesting. Thanks for the info/link.

I still enjoy my 1st gen vibes. I prefer to use the Shure E2 soft black rubber fittings that gives a better fit for my ears, and more comfort. Hundreds of hours of use, they still sound great.

Performance, battery life, lifetime warranty, I have fallen off the fence on the side of the Predator. Thanks for all your input, much appreciated.

I do travel a lot, and mainly listen through IEM's like E2's, and E4's, and on occasion through the HD 650's. Sources include iPod Nano, iPod Classic, and Sony portable CD player, as well as a PC (desk and laptop). Battery life is important.

It's a toss up between the Pico and the Predator. Both will fit my portable headphone amp needs. Both are TINY, and from what I have read here, both produce great sound. Every day I come here and I read all the great threads about the Pico, people experiencing eargasms, etc. I decide, ok, Pico...

I enjoy the FX66's. Decent sound, comfortable fit, cheap price. I use them for the gym since they have a secure fit.

Cohiba....SWEEEEEEEEEEET

I have a passion for Cuban cigars. One of my favorite brands is Saint Luis Rey hence my alias SLR. I really love the Double Corona. This format is 1 to 2 hours of pure smoking adventure while I listen to my iPod and good Cuban music. I have been smoking fine Habanos for about 20 years now...

I put a dot of glow-in-the-dark paint on the right side, on the black pad just bellow the actual IEM. Works great and you can see it at night.

Go for the Vibes. After about 24 pink noise hours plus about 100 hours of iPod playing time, the bass is full, and overall sound is pretty amazing comming out of these tiny IEM's.

I was supposed to get the Gunmetal Black, the box said Gunmetal Black, but I ended up with GoldMedal and Black Trim LOL. I still love them.

When I first got them, I thought the same thing...over rated, hyped up, etc...until I found out how sensitive these are to proper fitting. If you use the improper fittings, they will not sound too good. Once you find the proper fit, the sound should "wow" you.

I did some comparisons with the vibes and the different ear pieces. I find I lose a lot of bass response, and the hi's sound hissy when I use the small fittings. The large ear pieces also case loss of bass and overall volume. When I use the medium ear pieces, the Vibes sound great. So a good fit...

I used the vibes with my PSP to wach some movies like Blackhawk Down, and to play games. The Vibes work great on the PSP.

I really do not care for them. The price is good and they do sound decent but the way everyone was talking about them, my expectations became way too high. Even after hours of burn-in time, I was disappointed.

Can you guys see the photo's now? I changed from Yahoo Photo Album to another photo album web site. Hope it works. I can see them using my browser.

For those of us who sometimes likes to wear the Vibes with the wires tightly behind the neck and head, or for those who like to tighten up the dangling wires when enjoying the Vibes, here is a simple solution...use a small cable tie that can be found at any hardware store. Zip up the tie with...

velcro works great.

After about 24 hours of "pink noise", I decided to do some casual listening with the iPod. I put on some Enya, Shepherd Moons, and Anthony Newman (J.S. Bach 24 Preludes and Fuges). Wow, what a difference 24 hours of pink noise can make. The only way I can describe it is these IEM's really opened...
