I just recently came into possession of some Triple-Fi 10's which I find to be incredible in-ear monitors. However......I don't feel like I really am WOW'D by them, just pleasantly surprised. By no means do I feel ripped off, because I did get them used and at an incredible price (thanks...

Ok, so I'm not much of an audiophile, actually I only discovered this site last friday, and it was only a week ago that I found out how nice my Sennheiser HD465 headphones sound amplified by my receiver. I had no idea that music could sound so beautiful. I did own a Sennheiser HD590, which I...

The first thing I want to say is NO this is not asking for a comparison between the two as I own both and I am writing up a review of both as I found them both to be. All testing was done with a ibasso d2. If anyone needs me to I can post pictures up but I have nothing to really show that would...

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 have the Triple Fi 10s and love them, but as everyone knows the mids aren't as pronounced and I would LOVE to have some mid emphasis when listening to acoustic and vocal oriented songs. I was thinking about the Shure SE 530s at 300 but are their any other alternatives? How about the...

Ok folks here goes...... due to vodka and some upgrade pangs i now have both of these on the way!! Just spent close to £450 between the two and really hoping it proves to be a worthwhile exercise. Either way my visa bill is going through the roof!! What can i expect from these two? I listen...

So I'm new here, 14 years old, and I just love listening to high quality music. I have a pair of SE110's but am looking for a better option. Types of music I like listening to.Indie Rock Some pop Drum and bass Techno So I am looking in either buying the Shure SE530 for around £230 from Play.com...

Hi, I am making my first high-end IEM purchase, and I am stuck in a dilemma right here: Shure SE535 vs. Sennheiser IE8   My main concerns are (arranged by priority): 1. Durability 2. Sound Quality (I prefer a more natural sound) 3. Comfort / Fit 4. Compatibility with a 32 Ohm...

I'm wondering if anyone does etymotic's super clear, detailed, sound better than etymotic. The instrument separation is uncanny, and it really gives me this sense that these instruments are spatially arranged around me and just creating this amazing sound experience. I have sounds whizzing...

I don't need anything absolutely, mind blowingly amazing. I just want something better than ibuds that can actually make my FLAC worthwhile.   I work around cars a lot, so I'd rather them not be sounds isolating. Thanks. Best I've found so far are the Shure SE530's but I really dont want to...

What portable headphones qualify for this position? SQ is the first priority, price is the last.

Hi headfiers, am i doing the right thing in sending my 530s into Um to customise, its due to cable issue that i am thinking of doing this? Spoke to Um briefly and they say they have done this many times to good results, also asked about adding another driver to make these into quads, which they...

I'm more of an iem man as I have or had the ie8, se530, fx-500, fx-700, sm3, hippo vb, sound magic pl50 (and 30), ie7, and monster pro gold. I want to listen to a good full sized can in the house though as they trump iems on average (price for price).   As far as full sized headphones I have...

Hey guys, first post on these boards.   Was looking to get some suggestions on the best possible amp for this combo. Headphones in question: Shure SE530, and Shure SRH940. I prefer to use my J3 as my main pmp of choice. However, if you guys have had better experiences with the Iphone (its a...

Does anybody know which pair of earbuds fit and sound better: the packed in foam earbuds that come with the shure se530 or the comply foam earbuds that you can buy for the se530's?

I need your suggestion for a portable AMP/DAC which can power itself(built in re-chargable battery) for my Shure Se530 which i use it with  my Galaxys2 i9100 phone. I don't want any cheap stuff with cheap sound quality. I want it to be really portable which can fit in my pocket with my phone and...

Long time lurker here, decided to finally break down and get a pair of customs. They just arrived, and they sound great, but I think something feels off. How are they supposed to fit? Everyone I read says that they don't even feel like they're there, but I can tell. On the other hand, all that I...

I've been searching the forums for the past week now and all i've seen are huge long threads about praise to the UETP, Livewire, FreQs. Its time for us SE530 owners to show up those other guys. Personally, I read all the praise threads for the UE-TF before i bought my se530s. The se530's...

I am using fuze and ipod classic. What iem should i get for this gener of music. I am considering on good SQ and bass. My budget is around $250 Do westone um3x or westone 3 good for listening to hip-hop and rap?

Hey Guys & Gals,   I've been looking at IEM reviews recently and I am wondering which earphones here is equal or better than the SE530 or Turbine Pro Gold  in mids and clarity(Ability to hear every single distinct detail in the song) ?   Any replies would be appreciated!    Thank...

So I'm in the mood to replace my d jays for some triple driver phones and been looking at the se530s but I heard the 535 are coming at some point later this year would it be worth waiting for the 535 or just buy the 530 now? I don't mind waiting until like the summer for new phones but I'm...

I just bought a pair of these and they were delivered today, great stuff! However, I can't for the life of me manage to remove the primary cable nor the sleeves. I'm afraid to put too much pressure on the driver itself, and I have no idea how to get the sleeves up without tearing them up. The...

Hey all-   I'll post this in their sponsor thread as well (edit - couldn't as the thread is locked, but here it is in case anybody wants to read about the management changes), but I wanted to make sure I stuck a note in this forum as well in case anybody ever searched.   A few months...

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...

Hey guys,     i recently exchanged emails with Unique Melody Australia  about reshelling my old SE535s for a better fit and discovered that they cld for a price, add 3 more drivers to the 535s and make it a 6 driver custom hybrid IEM.   I'm starting to feel a familiar beast in me stir...
