I'm currently using the cx500 g4me and I'm thinking about getting a better one that has more bass and clarity. I'm either thinking about getting the SE530 or the IE8. I know that many people said the IE8 has more bass than the SE530 but which one has more clarity?

Let me start this off by saying i am no audiophile. I am one of the few people at my high school to expand their headphone choice beyond skullcandy and Beats by Dr Dre. i Had the sennheiser cx500s, and i loved them. While they lasted. I had them for 2 months, and they broke. I am extremely...

Hello, My cx-500's which I bought off play.com a year or so ago for £18 have finally died. Please can you suggest what my best upgrade option would be? And also where I can get them from? As a student I'd prefer something I could get for the same price range, but would happily stretch it to say...

hi everyone. my creative in-ear EP630 phones are done! i need new ones to replace them ASAP. i liked those but they just broke very easily. now i'm lokking for sthg  IN-EAR around 15~20€ (20~27 USD) at least as good as the EP630.   i'd really appreciate your help.   thx in advance

As far as I can tell, the packaging of version 1 and 2 are identical. The main difference is the version 2 has a glossy finish on the earbuds and has build quality improvements in the cord.   I never heard version 1 so I cannot compare. They are not burned in yet so sound judgement is not...

i found some nice earbuds the sony ex300sl's the denon ah-c260, and the klipsch s2's  im sure there all legit except for the sony's which i found on amazon here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FM7KIK/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=AFO7XUVWFFBL2 are these fake? the cheapest ones   anyway...

I'm looking for new headphones that are more comfortable than in ear ones. I've narrowed it down the AKG Q460, Phiaton MS400, and Klipsch Image One. I mostly listen to rap/hip hop with some rock and country mixed in. I can't seem to find very many reviews on the AKG or Klipsch and i read that...

Been looking for the closed back headphones for a while and the safest bet seems to be the ATH M50's, although they're going for around £130 which is slightly over my budget. Another thing I've read is the lack of bass (or apparent lack of bass to bassheads)   I wouldn't usually worry, but...

Hi all, i try to find out if there are some Sennheiser CX series earphones that have similar SQ characteristics as Sennheiser PX-100 (Mk. 1) headphones, i.e. natural, balanced sound, not bass driven. Around cca 40 - 60 EUR. When i look at the CX product line i see only high-end CX-880 (lifelike...

i personally don't use IEM's all that much; i'm at my desk most of the day and and just use my HD595s.  My wife on the other hand needs a new pair and i was trying to figure out what would be good for her. she listens to a bit of everything but mostly electronic, ambient but even some hiphop and...

Recently, I have been looking at a new iem for somewhere under $50.Specifically the cx 500 and the m1. There are many good reviews for both of these products.  But I'm not sure about the authenticity of the cx 500 that are available on amazon through headphonejack. If there isn't much of a...

Hi guys finally I come here for suggestions. I used to own a pair of Sennheiser CX500s, a gift to me. I love its warmth, slowness and size, but now it is missing. I've been thinking it is a chance to try a different pair, maybe CX870, CX6 or IE6. At last I realised that only the smallest CX500...

So, $50 might sound like a tight budget, but then theres amazon. Amazon has great deals on headphones. For example, sennheiser cx500 for $30-$40. so, what are the best earbuds i can get on there for under $50? somewhere theres a section of sale earbuds and earphones but i cant find it righgt...

Greetings Head-fi-ers,   New to posting, but not new to this forum, I've spent a good deal of time reading here, and have found this site to be a great resources for all things headphone.  A little about myself:  Started mixing audio for my church 7 years ago, and used sony MDR 7506s and...

I recently lost my cx500s (again); in fact, this is the fourth pair of earphones that i have lost in under 6 months. I got the nuforce ne6 as a replacement, but I am just not too thrilled by them. I find the detail and instrument seperation to be completely lacking as i do mainly listen to...

I recently purchased the nuforce ne-6 as a replacement for my senn cx500 that i had also recently purchased but lost because of carelessness. They seem to reproduce sounds alarmingly similarly and even have the eerily similar driver opening appearance and sizes. The only thing that I notice is...

Lurker and newbie asking for some advice from the experts - I need a new set of in-ear's to replace Sennheiser cx-500 (cables were sadly not rabbit proof). I liked the Senn's bass, but would like to hear the best quality sound i can for my budget. (I can get the Jazz and MEElectronic M11+ for...

Hey all,   First post here, so please excuse me if I posted in the wrong forum.  For a while I have been looking at the MEElectronics M6 IEM's as an addition to my current Sennheiser CX500s.  The reason why these caught my attention is because I was told that they are supposed to work great...

So I got sennheiser cx500 earbuds off amazon for like $30. I put them in and I was blown away. That happens when u go from $10 skullcandies to $120 retail price earbuds. However, the earbuds broke after not even 2 months. His happens to me with all headphones. And I kept these headphones in...

Ok, I'm a noob looking to buy my first pair of headphones.   They will be used to play games and listen to music on my pc, and in the car on my mp3. I have no need of portability so don't care how big they are, I actually think the bigger ones look cooler :P. I listen to mainly pop and...

I currently have some Sennheiser CX500's and they're pretty nice, but I need something with a bit more OOMPH on the bass side. I've made a couple of selections. I mainly listen to Dubstep/Rock/Metal/Deathmetal. Just let me know which one you think would be best for me please! :)   Rockford...

So I am seeing the Sennheiser IE4 goin for $55 or so on Amazon.com and want to know anyone try them? I have seen all over this site people giving the pricier IE6 and 8 good marks, but nothing about this one. Logic would assume this would be a pretty solid pair of IEM based on the pricier models...

Hey Head fier's,   I currently own the S2's, CX680's, CX500's, HD 212 Pro's,Ipod Nano 4g (8gb) and Ipod Touch 2g(16gb). ( TBH I've got about 10 pairs of in-ears but don't want to mention them. Eg: SK Titans, MX660's, etc, etc.   I like the sound of my CX680's since its bright but not as...

Hi everyone...I'm having trouble deciding which I should get between this two...a little help here? Priority is Sound Quality... oh and disregard the price talk....
