Hi all,   I'm totally a noob here, enjoying the life of lossless music with my laptop (onboard soundcard) and a pair of Shure se215, and I can't say that I'm satisfied with them. So I'm here to find out what else to buy for a better sound, but it's really confusing. There are so many ways to...

This is my 1st review on head fi so please don't be mean.   I ordered my SE215s from http://www.earphonesolutions.com for $100 and I have to say they are a great website and they are an authorized Shure dealer.     Accessories and Packaging:     This is what it would look like...

I've been reading various impressions on the numerous IEM's out there and based on my price range (~$200), I've narrowed it down to the three listed in the title of this thread. I've had the Beats Studios for the past 2 1/2 years and have been very pleased with them, that is until an annoying...

Hello, I'm new here.   I live in Malaysia and Jaben is the only store that offers the best headphone. My budget is below 100USD.   I prefer balanced sound [ Clear Bass and Clear Treble]   Klipsh S4, Denon Ah-560R, Shure SE215 Which one is better?   Any suggestion other than...

Where can I get custom made replacement wires for SE215's?

hello there fellow head-fiers!!     I have been using the Altec Lansing UHP 336 (which are rebrands of the UE sf3’s) for 2,5 years now, and have been mostly satisfied with them. I have used many many phones in the past, and those were the ones that stuck with me for so long. I just loved...

Hello,   I have a pair of the Shure SE215's and I was recently thinking about amping it, but not spend too much. So I came up with the PA2V2, emailed Gary, he guided me and answered all my questions but I'm still in doubt so I would like to ask you guys here to find out what you think and...

As I've posted on other threads I recently acquired my first set of IEMs. They were quite cheap, but I was expecting them to be adequate for public transport use, which I will be using regularly from now on. The isolation is excellent, but I don't really like the overall sound.   The...

The Shures I can get for SGD180, the TDKs SGD160 on promotion.   I listen to mainly rock, some pop and other genres as well, a little bossonova, no classical.   I really LOVE the look of the clear Shures as well as the bass, but am not digging the long cable, as well as the issues some...

Hi all,   I'm looking for some small isolating headphones to have on flights and in the gym, and after a lot of reading I came up with this decision I'm listening mostly to rock/pop/electronic(like bjork/ting ting)   I can get the SE215 locally and enjoy of the 2 year warranty and the...

I am thinking about getting a pair of the Shure SE215 IEM's. Pictures Iv'e seen show the cables going over and around the ears. I am not sure I would like this.  Can these IEM's be worn with the cables hanging down in a normal fashion?  I dont think I would like the cable going over my ear.  I...

Hi All,   I need new headphones for running and biking outside.  I will also use them for other everyday activitis as well.  What and why would you recommend any of these?  I have not listened to any of them and may not have a chance to do so for awhile.  The GR-07 get great reviews.  But...

I know that the Shures aren't exactly full size ;) BUT! I am going to have some money soon, and I found a good price on the AKGs: $84.70 plus 20 bucks shipping. The SE215s always are that price, so i have no idea which one to go for! I would mostly be listening to music like Metallica but I...

I would really like to get your opinion to help me select one of the four headphones mentioned. Been reading alot about them and they all mentioned great things but relatively all execpt for the M-80s tend to have negative comments too. Not saying the M-80s are perfect but these are pretty...

Prior to a long-distance flight right after a payday I impulse bought a pair of Beats Tour a year ago and I'm amazed at how bad of an experience it's been.   Impossible to get a good fit with any of the tips, got aftermarket ComplyFoam (Went through a 5 pack in 3 months), Microphone and...

Anything better that provides good isolation for noisy commutes?

Hi guys, I would like to know which out of these 2 headphones are the best and their pros and cons please. Im mainly looking for comfort and durability with good sound quality. Open to any other headphones for under £50 too. Thanks.

Hello everyone,   I am new to Head-Fi but it seems everyone here knows a lot about music, headphones, and sound quality, so I thought this would be the perfect place to ask my question.    There are some $100 in ear headphones I have been looking in to at my local stores, all of them are...

Hello,    At the moment I've a shure SE215 in-ear partnered with a Fiio E17 USB/DAC/Amp. Would upgrading to a portable Philips M1 be better partners for more listening pleasure?    Or is the E17 together with the AKG K450/451 a better match with regard to component price-quality match. ...

When i first bought these IEMs they sounded well balanced and nice, but now they sound very bright and harsh (have been using these very extensively for a week now). I have very sensitive ears and listening these for long will make my ears hurt, which makes me want to upgrade.   By the way i...

Hi guys, I'm looking for comfortable tips with good isolation for the SE215, it MUST be silicon, since I have been using Olive and they just get dirty too easily. I was looking at the Klipsch oval tips, but have no idea whether or not it will fit. Also, does anyone have any idea on...

I have an old pair of Bose ear buds (the generation before the IE2) that I'm currently looking to replace. I really liked the mids on them, but I was disappointed in the lack of highs and the somewhat confined soundstage, so I'm trying to find something under $150 that represents an upgrade (in...

What are your guys' opinion of each of these? which would you choose overall, for someone who likes a little more bass than usual, and listens to a wide range of music? and can also be comfortable and can withstand a beating? i might fall asleep with them on..

I just ordered a pair of shure se215 in ear monitors and I was just wondering if these headphones could be considered audiophile headphones? Also if I were to buy a portable amp would it increase sound clarity or just volume from my iPhone/macbook pro? Thanks, sry if these are stupid questions...

^^^ As the title says.   Listened to the Shures and the Brainwavz only, and I can't decide which I prefer o.o   Read a lot of good things about the Yamahas, and I can get them locally for a very reasonable price.   I'd like a balanced sound as I don't really want the bass, mids or...
