I recently bought a pair of these thanks to recommendations here. While the sound is really good I noticed that the sound will distort at times at around 75% volume when my old pair didnt. The thing is it doesnt always happen. Is it a defect or do I just need time to burn them in? Thank you.

Hey this is my first post and I was just wondering if you guys have any good advice on which headphones to pick the tdk ba200 or shure se215. Thanks

Hey everyone,   I'm looking for a good pair of IEM's that are comfortable to sleep in. Like, when I"m laying on my side my ear is directly on the pillow. I'm wanting something that are comfortable for that. I was looking at the Shure SE215's, but I read someone saying that they were...

Just bought my second pair of SE215s and while I like the sound of these, the cable and tips have always been a problem for me. The cable is about half a meter too long for front pocket wear, thick and cumbersome, and the memory wire just keeps me from getting a good fit with them. As for the...

So my first purchase that led me into "audiophilism" was the Shure se215. I loved them and loved the base heavy, but otherwise transparent, sound and clarity of the mids and highs. Now my question is what should I reach for next that is still an IEM (they tend to have more accurate, clearer and...

Weird thread :) I know but you'll understand.    I have opened a tread a few months ago for bass heavy IEM recommendation for an EDM listener, me :) I decided to buy MH1C after recomendations, I loved it at first, but cable was really bad, and the volume was really low (with iphone). Then I...

¡Hi! I just bought the Shures se215 in a sale, for 80 dollars (a nice deal for me), i'm waiting for them to arrive, but i've seen in this forum that a lot of people have problems with them, loose connections, faulty cables etc... So if you guys can tell me some ways to detect a faulty unit that...

What are the best in-ear phones I could get that cost between $80-120? I'm mainly going to be using it on my iPod to listen to music. I need good noise isolating phones because I have a 1hour bus ride to school & I can barely listen to my music on max sound. Any suggestions?

Hello Everyone,   I am quite new to these forums and have searched but couldn't  find any recommendations for the following.   I currently own a Senheiser  HD 428 circumaural  headphones which I bought a couple of years back on a whim. But I liked how it sounded and thought it wasn't...

Hello audiophiles, is the shure SE215 good according to the treble,mid,bass and the noise isolating thing? please help me because i don't know anything about this headphones.

I'm looking for new IEM's now that my Klipsch S4's broke (did not like the build quality). Enjoyed the moniters very much and am looking for something similar. I am not a huge basshead but it's not like I'm against it or anything.   My main line of music (in general) is Deadmau5, the Doors...

Hi guys,   Once again I'm back looking for recommendations. I like SE215s in many ways but the sound quality just isn't good enough for me to use on a day-to-day basis, although they are fine for the gym which is what I was after at the time.   In terms of what I like about them; I like...

In the market for new headphones and these two came to my attention. I listen to a large variety of music including including nearly everything but most pop and country. I like the punchy bass the 215s have for rap and perhaps rock but I really like the idea of hearing everything in my music...

Hi   I posted a thread (http://www.head-fi.org/t/667333/upgrade-from-monoprice-soundmagic-iems-and-a-little-history) asking for recommendations on and upgrade from monoprice/soundmagic iems and I wanted something that had a good warranty and was durable.   I was recommended shure se215...

I get the feeling that the c300s have more bass, but whose mids and highs are better?

Hi...im new here so not really experienced. I want to ask if shure se 215 special edition is a good choice. I like a lot of bass but dont wish the bass to sacrifice the treble mids and highs. I like pop music (maroon 5) and songs with great bass impact. Any suggestions would be highly...

Greetings all,   I am interested in getting a Shure SE215 for myself but i am wondering is there a difference in sound quality between all the SE215s?  ...

Hello head-fiers,   Perhaps a silly question for some, but still would appreciate a reply:   Will I harm Shure SE215 with nominal impedance of 20 Ohm if connected to desktop headphone amp Pro-Ject Headbox II with impedance specification of >30 Ohm (i.e. headphones of 30 Ohm and higher) ...

First off, I know that there are already quite a few threads on this topic. I've read most of them too, but I still can't seem to find any conclusive answer as to what to get ><! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated =)!   I currently have Skullcandy Smokin' Buds, but I can't seem to...

Hi to everyone my friends. I need some help. I own Shure SE215 Special Edition, they are great in sound, but I'm little in trouble with the fit. I found the silicone ones make them too dark because of the little hole! The Olive tips are perfect and give more airy sound thanks to Big hole.. But...

It's the holidays (and also my birthday) so I'm looking to upgrade from my Shure SE215's. I like them but I'm having some cable issues and I just generally want to upgrade.   I'm looking at the Aurvana 3, GR07 MK2, and Klipsch X10. I primarily listen to a lot of rock/alternative/punk, and a...

Hi, I am looking for the best IEM available for ~$100. I understand that there many options, but here are my specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears...

hi guys, just bought these over Black Friday but have not opened them yet. Am keeping only one pair and wanted to know which ones to keep. Paid $70 for the SE215 and $85 for X10.   The reason I don't want to open them is so I can return one for a full refund. And I prefer they're able to...

I just recently got my XBA-3's reshelled through inearz who did an amazing job. For the past few months, I have been searching head-fi for the cheapest reshell option and at the time inearz seemed to be the cheapest.   The reshell including cable + return shipping (excluding impressions) was...

I'm looking to purchase a pair of IEM's, would like a recommendation. I bought a pair of Sennhesier CX500 a few years ago and didn't use them much; I didn't realize they were IEM's, what IEM's were, and that the CX500 sounded so much better than any headset or earbuds I'd had before. Of course...
