I was just wondering what the going rate (going rate = a well-researched buy, probably lower than the MSRP) for a set of 5 or so comply tips are? I've just got some SE530's and I wanted to get a few T-100's, but for 20 bucks USD for 5, it seems pretty steep. Is there anywhere I could get a...

I've got a pair of SE530's with a date code of 2997 - October 07. Actually, I'm not getting them for a day or two. Is that still when they used the old cables? I also won't have gotten these through an authorized reseller. Is it possible, that if i talk *really nicely* to Shure, they would...

Seems that one of the products is a USB microphone, and another one is SE115 - http://www.pitchengine.com/shure/shu...arphones/2685/

I'll enter this too Thank you!

Hello all! I've been doing some thinking lately about IEMs, and I wanted to pose a question... How would you compare, all around, high end universal IEMs (TF10, SE530, W3, SA6, UM2, IE8), to the similarly priced custom IEMs (Livewires, Freq's, C3's, Sleek Customs)? For example, the Sleek...

I'm quite short of the 50 posts cutoff. That probably puts me out of the running, but I'm gonna reply nonetheless! Thanks.

If I'm using an iPhone 3G and some SE530's, would this little amp (e5) really benefit me in terms of sound quality or anything else? All I've read so far is that I might get *more* hiss from this... :S

Some people would like to think the SE530's can compete with some of those IEMS. Would you not include that in the poll?

Any places in canada (ontario) that will be carrying these?

Too bad - they won't ship to Canada (at least in my area anyways). Oh well!

If you bought them on eBay I'm going to wager a guess that they weren't from an authorized reseller. You probably won't be able to do anything here. DIY time!

On another unrelated, but still Shure note, does anyone use any EQ while listening with these guys? If so, what sorts of styles of music do you find it helps/doesn't help?

I've got some SE 530's coming to me in the next few days. People here talk about getting Comply tips. Are they really much better? How would they compare to the olives or the triple flanges? I always imagined the triple flanges having the best isolation, but I don't really know much about this...

Thanks for the input. I guess it starts here, lol... Let the wallet pains begin! I see there is a thread here just recently started about "what I need to know" about the SE 530's... I'll dump my comments into there now.

Canuck Audio Mart Canada's Largest Online Hifi, Audio & Home Theater Classifieds Has some pretty good selection I believe. Try that maybe?

I know these questions have very subjective answers - "is it really worth 300 bucks for XXX headphones? Will the sound be that much better?"... Here's my situation - I'm currently using stock headphones that came with my Sony W810 (HPM-82), and within the next week or two I'll be picking up...

Yeah I thought there was a big price difference until I noticed one of the prices was for only one sleeve (not a pair). Anyways - does anybody have any experience with these?

Interesting... I'd like to know as well! One of those sites is quite a bit more expensive too!

Thanks for the information Sanjay! For the price of the headphones that you listed for me, it would actually be a better choice to just order the headphones off ebay (275 USD + 30 USD shipping = ~360 CAD vs 369.99+ shipping). Thanks for the opinion though, I really do appreciate it. On...

Hello! I've lurked these forums for a while, and I just created an account to hopefully get some help before I purchase some SE530's (without PTH if it makes it cheaper). Basically, I'm trying to find a reasonable deal for some SE530's as a Canadian. I live in Ontario, and I don't really have...
