I found them Brand New for $289. Should I do it? I did like my Pro 5's when I first started this addiction.

I just received my replacements for my E500 since the cable was shot on it.  I was a little bummed to see that the cable is now just a single piece and very long.  I really liked how the E500 had a cable that you could hang a shuffle or nano right around your neck like a necklace and didn't have...

Sorry for the flashy title but yeah, its time for a poll. Which do you prefer?

Hello. After getting my Shure E500 replaced for the second time due to the cable getting stiff and breaking I finally got the SE530 instead. I looked at the manufacturing date on the earphones and it says it was manufactured sometime in december 2008 (the code is 3168). Is this cable better than...

I'm a noob here at head-fi but I've been lurking and searching for a while but I can't find anyone with my same needs and tastes. I'm complicated it seems. First off I consider myself an audiophile in that I love great sounding audio, whether it be movies, music or games. As for my tastes...I...

I very rarely post on this site but do pop back, every now and again.   My personal choice of IEM has been Shure, for quite a while now, since I bought my first pair (E4) back in November 2005, after reading quite a bit on this forum; you guys did a good job, as I eventually purchased a...

While there is a lot of talk here at Head-Fi about the faulty cables that the Shure E500/SE530 are built with, I have done some searching, and there is no talk about possibly recabling the IEMs so that it isn't a reoccurring issue. 1. Is it possible? Has it been done before? 2. Is there...

Just wondering, do most of you consider the SE535 a bit too bright/sibilant--to the point of being fatiguing? I'm finding it hard to adjust to it, especially when compared to the better headphones I have.

I just recently obtained my e500s from ebay. Very recent. If you want to just see my question go to the last paragraph, else the rest is background information building the base so that those with high experience might be able to troubleshoot for me. I am not very experienced with amps and...

I recently purchased a set of Shure SE535s and have noticed that some sounds are quite ear-piercing at semi-loud volumes. The most notable is the "s" sound in metal/rock songs (it sounds fine in softer songs), which is extremely loud and sharp and bothers me greatly. I've read reviews about the...

i currently own some shure e500's. the wire on the right housing is split and does not produce any sound. if i were to send the earphones back to shure and pay the repair fee what would i get sent back in return? e500/se530/se535?????

I lost my Shure E4c's recently and now I have an opportunity to buy a set of Shure E500.   I know they are a few years old, but these are still sealed in the box. The question is if the new 535 are worth twice the price.   Will be used unamped with an ipad and nano 5g.   Opinions?

Well, it all started with this thread that I noticed quite some time a go. And, while I was really happy with the fit I was getting from the tri-flanges for my e500s, I thought it might be cool to see what this guy could do. Before leaving for Japan, I contacted the guy that did the work...

folks-- i'm interested in hearing opinions on some higher end warm, lush IEM's. i'm admittedly quite confused here and perhaps it's because much of this is personal opinion based but interestingly enough, i don't seem to see the same type of discrepancy in speakers so i'm looking almost...

I use 10 and 20 Hz burninwave to test how low can my headphone produce. At very low volume i hear some cracking. But when i turn the volume up, the cracking disappear, and i can hear the normal low frequency vibration. Is this normal or my headphone damaged?

I've been extremely happy with my E500's for the past three years that I've owned them.  I bought them back in college when I had some good-paying part time jobs.  However, it's the start of med school now and the cables just gave out completely--cracked in two places!  So, I'm looking at my...

Several years ago I bought Shure E4Cs after doing my research on these forums. They were $300 MSRP but I paid $190 or so. The high end at the time was the E500s I believe which could be had for around $300-$350 (MSRP around $500). My memory isn't so good so this may be a little inaccurate.  ...

Just picked these up from Fry's today and am really enjoying them. IMHO they sound better than my Shure E500PTH. The sonys sound is much better in detail and clarity while maintaining good bass and mids vs. the shures. Don't get me wrong, the E500s are a great set of cans, but in the end I just...

Last week I got sick of my E500's cables. You know, the heat treated curved ones. I bent them back and forth to see if they'd get softer. They did.. and they cracked, exposing innards.   Sent them back to Shure for replacement, and a 4 days and $145 later I got a 530.   I was secretly...

After posting in a thread just now about IEM preference, it shocked me at just how many IEMs / Canalphones I have... Considering I only have one pair of ears... it is worrying that I have: MTPC IE8 Denon C751 Klipsch X10 Panasonic HJE-900 JVC HP-FX1000 JVC HA-FX500 Shure SE500 UE...

I don't know if anyone else here is old to enough to remember the original Sony Walkman. I'm talking about the very first model - the TPS-L2 (http://www.walkmancentral.com/products/tps-l2). Well, if you look at the picture, it had a prominent yellow temporary push-button on the unit. This button...

From what I've read so far, looks like my next IEMs could be be Earsonic SM3... Would that be a good upgrade? From what I've owned: UM3X >> UE triple.fi >= Shure E500 > Ety 4s >>>> Shure SCL2 The UM3X with eq are great, but I find them lacking in treble. I'd like a more balanced sound...

I'm wondering what you guys are using as far as IEM's for the Nationite S:Flo2.   I'm looking at purchasing some IEM's for it but I haven't been able to find any information on what people are using with them, so please feel free to post your setup or past setups that you enjoyed.   I'm...

RE0 rivals ER-4S, beats E500 and ER-4P RE0 is a new canalphone which tops Head-Direct.com lineup of canalphones. It is priced $169 on Jan 8, 2009 and aimed to compete with top dynamic earphones as well as with mid-level balanced armature earphones. Fang from Head-direct suggested me to review...

I have the iPhone 4 + bumper case  and I've discovered that my LOD connectors do not fit properly with the case on. The case seems to prevent full docking with any connector larger than the standard iPhone/iPod connector. Anybody else encountered this problem? Any fixes? I've also noticed...
