I've been using a Cowon S9 and Shure SE210 for several months now, and then decided to also buy a FiiO E6 headphone amp.  Was this a good decision? Any advice which EQ would give it the best sound?

Hi,   I own a Shure Se210 and a Audio Technica ATH-EM9R which I use while I am out of home. At home use my marantz amp and mordaunt short speaker this are not so expensive( cant remember the price) to listen to music. However the speaker broke down.   I want to know that if I am going to...

I need some classical music earphones under $100. I have the Bose IE2. But, I need somethings with 3/4 ammount of bass, 4/4 treble, and I don't really know mids. That's the best I can describe it.

Heck, I can't listen to my iPhone in my car over BT anymore either.  I find I'm ripping CDs again now, LOL!   Anyway, I was working out with some old Shure Se210s.  Wow, are those things muddy - not to mention uncomfortable.   I was THIS close to buying SM3s when I realized that I may...

I've recently bought a pair of Shure SE535s, after previously having a pair of SE210s, which cable torn two years and a month from purchase (what an odd coincidence!). Having not the greatest ear moulds in the world, I naturally needed to try a few sleeves. Thing is, you can't get them off...

Hey all!   I could really use some advice on buying some new IEM's. Two years back, I bought a set of Shure SE210. I was very happy with these until the cables broke after about one year. Since this is a common Shure problem, I knew it was a risk I took when buying them. Still, it was a big...

Hi all,   I'd like to try IEM's but I know almost nothing about them. I would use them mainly (or only ?) while travelling by train or plane, so one very strong instance is isolation from outside noise; together with sound quality of course. So, first of all: do you think I could get a...

I was about to buy the Meelec M6 + M9 package deal for $56 shipped, but I just found a deal for the Shure SE210's 'refurbished' for $45 shipped.  ...

  So I just demo'ed the Shure SE210 five minutes ago here at Singapore airport.     After listening, I now just went online to check them out (prices and reviews etc.)   It seems like most reviews here think they sound incredible or sound like utter garbage!!   I'm leaning more...

Hi everyone, please bear with me as I'm new to these forums haha. I'm considering  a purchase of a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's after hearing nothing but good things about them, I'm a casual listener and don't do any recording or DJing, I simply love good sound. I currently own a pair of...

Hey Head fi!   Just started using this site and lovin the community. I'm pretty new to the IEM scene as I've only owned the shure SE210 which to me sounded great, but as many people on the site say there is much more out there to be heard. I've been planning on buying the SE425s since...

Hi,   I have an Ipod 3g and two pairs of earbuds : Shure 210 and Senh Cx95.    As the title says, when walking I ear a clear bump bump every step with both sets.   After reading around this forum I got the idea that it might be a cable problem but, although  it atenuates somehow the...

For me it had to be the Shure SE530: Reasons: Build Quality: 1st pair cable cracked less than 1 year of use. Replacement pair broke(with proper care this time) within 1 year of replacement. Bad Customer Service: Shure won't replace the cracked replacement unit but offered to sell me...

Hello. This is my first post on these forums, so I apologize if I make any mistakes in etiquette. I tried to find a similar thread, but wasn't successful, so here goes.   I'm looking to buy my first real set of IEMs, with a special eye to what will do the best job of isolating sound on the...

Hi,   I've had a couple of pairs of cx300's but  I just lost my latest ones :( I'm looking to upgrade and have read around but theres so many brands and models that I'm a bit overwhelmed so im looking for some help. I'd like to spend about £50 so obviously not a huge upgrade but i dont mind...

Hey, these are both the same price in the UK but it seems to me (from reading reviews etc.) that the etymotic is a far better choice so I was wondering why are they the same price?   Having said that, are there any decent alternatives to the Etymotic HF5 for about the same price? (£70 max)...

Hey y'all. Haven't posted in a while seeing as for a while I was in audio bliss with my M50s and my ER-6 Isolators. Unfortunately, I think it's time to replace the IEMs, as my last pair of tips is disintegrating, the strain relief is totally destroyed, the shirt clip broke, the yoke to keep the...

Today my RE0's broke. The right earphone plays no sound at all, wobbling the cable around doesn't give any change and the entire unit is in like new condition as far as I can see. I've treated them pretty good, but a few times the earphones have clapped together when i temporarily take them out...

Im probably going to be flamed for this. But can someone tell me what these portable amps do? Like i've seen some portable audio set ups and alot of people with ipods have them? what exactly do they do? i have shure e210 headphones, what would they do for them? feel free to help or link me to...

I'm trying to decide on a new set of earphones. I currently use Shure SE210s and I am looking to upgrade.   I have a few models in mind and I have listed the prices (in £, but even if you're not British you should get an idea of the relative value I'm looking at). I am looking for best 'bang...

hi!   can you recommend a pair of IEM's that are well suited for spoken word and vocals, also some movies?   i'd like to be able to use them without a headphone amp if possible.  i'll mostly use them with my iphone / ipad / macbook pro.   i'd love to keep this under $300 if possible...

I am a complete newbie to nice headphones. I've known nothing but my apple earbuds since I started getting into music a few years ago. Now they're getting broken and such and I want to learn what some possibilities are. :-)   I need them to be portable first. I'll basically be using them...

Hi : ) eh i was looking into getting a pair of these. And i listen to mostly rock, some orchestra and they'll be for home use (i.e my laptop) aswel. So i was just wondering would they be suited for me? also would the FiiO E5 do anything for them? Thanks in Advance Marko93101

http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/ces20...ure-226641.php Shure -- maker of yummy-sounding, somewhat-affordable headphones -- introduced its new SE line, which promises to deliver beefier bass and more comfort when you stick 'em in your ears. The top of the line SE530 is a rebranding of last...
