I just got the SE425s as a Christmas present (from myself) and I do believe I've found the perfect set for my tastes. Even without burn-in (I'm doing that now as I type), the SE425s sound amazingly clear with an enveloping, punchy bass response. I don't get why it's called a neutral 'phone, with...

First time poster, but I know this is where all the experts hang out...  I need to get replacement earphones as my SE210's left sound is scratchy which I can attribute to a wire failure.  This is my 3rd Shure (E2c, then the SE210 which I got a replacement under the 2 year warranty).  Each...

I've been struggling on what I want, EXTREMELY clear tremble/highs and such and good bass with the SE425, or HEADSHAKING bass with the 9MM/ MTP! Could I just use my Fiio E5 and up the bass up on the SE 425, would the bass be distorted and muddy? I mainly listen to hiphop, rap, rnb...

Hey! I'm currently wondering what in-ear headphones I should get for hiphop that's under $300 bucks! Recently, there have been Shure se425 and Monster Turbines pro on sale for $300 in Canada, but i'm wondering, what's the best bass in-ear headphones for me? Should I spent the extra $100...

I've been lokking for a new IEM for a long time now. My top choice was the triple fi 10 but after I heard about the "rattling monitor problems" and I could only get it for 400 USD. So now the Shure SE 425 really seems like a good deal, since some people say there isn't a big difference between...

   Basically what the title says. Top-players in the different price ranges would be appreciated too, and of course, availability, build quality and etc. would be a plus.Thanks!     

I'm thinking about picking up some IEMs and i'm torn between the TripleFI 10's and the SE425s. The UE's are less expensive but seem like they don't fit as well. The SE425's look like they fit a lot better but (at least on amazon) are a bit expensive. I am definitely going to get some custom ear...

Thanks to somebody else on this forum posting in my SE425 vs. SE535 thread, I found out that http://www.electronicsforless.ca/ has both of them on sale! They're selling the SE425s for $279.99 (in both clear and bronze, though bronze isn't in the site - I just called) and the SE535s for $429.99...

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...

I have enjoyed my IE 8 for more than a year now but was unfortunate to lose it recently. And now I have been looking around for my next purchase. I thought about the Shure SE425 and SE535 but I would like to hear suggestions from the head-fi community about other alternatives. Think its also...

Before you guys tell me to use the search button, I have, and nothing really seemed to answer my question. I have a few hundred bucks to blow on a new pair of headphones, and since I'm done with Monster (until they give the Turbine a wire that's durable like the Tours or hell, the Solos), I'm...

I've been using a pair of Monster Turbines for the past one year, but just recently I've started having issues with the cable right near the 3.5mm jack because of which sound is cutting off in the right channel. Anyways, I feel this is reason enough for me to move on and get a new pair of...

I had a Bose IEM before (quite good bass they got there) and is broken. Now I wanted a new and much better IEM.   I have done lotss of research on IEM field this week and AM STILL CONFUSED..!!!   HELPPPP!!!   Which brand to go for IEM w/ mic and remote + LOTSS OF BASS for under and...

  Hey guys, I just recently joined the forums and I'm looking to get some new IEM's to complement my newly purchased Grado SR325's.   Background: I travel almost weekly for work and after getting my Grado's a few weeks ago, I've discovered that they don't perform particularly well on...

I have a pair of ER-4P, so looking for something with more bass. I don't want to spend $500, but $300 is fine, so I'm looking at the Shure SE425s. In comparing with the 535 the curve is almost exactly the same except for 535 has more low end response- makes sense due to the extra low end driver...

Folks!!   Need your help here...   I am new to this forum and am trying to get help so I can buy the right headphones for me - I am going to buy a pair of IEs and also a pair of closed cans...   Being a musician and audiophile, I care greatly about sound quality. Mostly - balanced...

I consider myself a novice among the rest of you, as I've only listened through a handfull of headphones.   As a listener to the more mainstream genres, I had some doubts getting these headphones as they were often labeled as "flat" and "analytical".   However I can't describe how amazing...

had a pair of the mtpc's but they got stolen.   For the most part, I loved them. I felt the treble was too strong and used a treble reducer eq setting on my iphone. The cable length was too short and that was really annoying.   What are some good alternatives? Any recommendations? I love...

Hi, I just bought a pair of Shure SE535'S to use onstage as IEM. I'm a bass guitarist so in my mix I will hear drums, more prominent bass in the mix, guitar, keys and vocals. I got the 535's thinking they were the best and top of the line but now I read online in some places the SE425 is better...

Hello there,   Long time lurker and first time poster.  For whatever reason, there's been an extraordinary lack of reviews/interest in the Shure Se425.  Even on Head fi there is a huge thread for the SE535's but no one even seems to mention the SE425's.   I'm an owner of the SE420's and...

I know these two iems are pretty different, however they both have 2 drivers and are vastly different in pricing   I was wondering if the price difference is worth it? Any opinions on either of the phones? Thanks! by the way these are going to be my first decent iems, last ones were SE...

Back at CanJam '08 I made it my business to listen to every universal IEM in the house. Out of all of them, I liked the sound of the Shure SE-420s best. Since then, there have been so many new IEMs introduced it's impossible to listen to them all. This one or that one has sounded promising, but...

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...
