Hi there, Im relatively new to the audio scene but just acquired a pair of SE535s a month ago. It sounds great when plugged into my macbook pro when running itunes with eq turned on to emphasize music. When i run the SE535s on my ipod touch 2g, it sounds decent until i turn on the EQ. Once that...

Hi all,   There's so much information and opinions here that the more I search the more I'm unable to decide.   I've been using an Etymotic E6i grafted onto iPhone earphone cables (with remote and mic, done by Ultimate Buds). The right side has gone bad so I'm looking for a replacement...

Hi all. Just wanted to post my opinion on these phones since they are relatively new and not many seem to have them yet.   As a bit of back ground I am a long time Ety Er4 fan as well as shure e4 user. As I talked about here, I lost my e4s recently and ended up replacing them with both a...

Hello, Head-fi-ers!   I have been reading this site for several months (thank you!) and finally decided to register. I see there is a lot of experienced people here and I hope I can get some help.   I have gone through a major upgrade of my hifi kit in the last year (check this if...

I am going to attempt to give some short impressions on Shure se535 and Sony mdr-ex1000. Firstly, i would like to state that i am not very good at picking out subtle differences or even putting to words what i hear. Nonetheless i will try to pen down what i note and hopefully give some insight...

Hi, my westones 2 has given up the ghost and i do not have any intention to get them replaced under warranty. I am thinking of getting a new iem that costs around westones 2 's price range. Today I went trying out some iems at a local store. I listened to the IE7 and compared it to the shure...

Hello, I have been out of the IEM game for a couple of months because of some financial troubles and had to sell my SE530's and Tomahawk amp. I have been saving and have come in to some money and am looking for some new IEM's.  I loved my Shures but am thinking I want to go the custom route...

Hi,    I have the SE425 and like their sound quite a bit, but am thinking about getting impressions done for the sensaphonics custom sleeves. I'm curious if anyone has done this and has any opinions of them, particularly about how it might change their sound for the better or worse as I've...

Hello, I would like to replace my Shure SE530 IEM. I would like to have precise informations about some Westone models : UM3-X and the new W4 IEM, or the W3. Could you give me the length and diameter of the nozzle ? Could you give me the overall size of the body ? I have small ears and...

Hi all,   I've had a great run using Shure stuff in the last while. I've had seven iPhone microphone adapters (the MPA-2B), and two SE-530s. I love them to bits...   ...when they work. I bought one each of the above, the rest have been warranty replacements. Eventually I gave up on the...

Hi everyone, I need an iem to tide me over till I will buy the jh3a system. For me most important are 1. isolation and 2. comfort. But of course I also want one that will let me enjoy my music. After some research the ones I am considering are either the new etymotic er4s or p (not sure what...

I have a pair of UE18 and they dont fit in my ear good enough, i would like to sell them (when i get enough posts, etc on head-fi) and how do them compare to a pair of SE535 which i plan to buy?

Thinking about selling my shure SE535 and replace it with one of these custom molded IEM. - I wonder if it is a wise decision or am I on the way to fall  for marketing and advertising gimmicks?? - Does the number of the driver really matter? - Does anyone really notice any difference? -...

Hi everyone, I am looking for an iem to tide me over till i can get the jh3a custom system. I need one that isolates as well as possible but is also comfortable. I know the etys are know for isolation but i do htink i might enjoy a more fun sound. The klipsch x10 and shure se535 are on the top...

Hi, I’m running the Shure SE535s from an iPod Classic feeding my **new** RSA Shadow (which is a wonderful addition). Tonight, however, I plugged everything in, place the left monitor in my ear (all systems go) and did the same with the right, but the volume on the right monitor is very very low...

Hello all,   I have Monster Turbines which like generally. But, the bass sounds bloated and undefined to my ears. What would be the next step up that would have tighter, snappier bass for electric Jazz music?   What is your experience?   Thanks.

There's something about the EX1000 I really like. Perhaps it's the Sony fanboy in me. Has anyone compared it against the Shure SE535? They're about the same price. I do like the optional iPhone control cable on the SE535 that Sony doesn't offer.

So, I currently own a pair of soundMagic PL50s, but the grilles covering the drivers actually came out (the glue started to loosen), so I'm either looking for replacement tips that will take care of that problem for me, or a new pair of IEMs. I want to stay under $200. A sound signature similar...

Shopping around for a set of high quality sound IEM, currently using metrofi 220vi for iphone. - the audio source will be iphone. there's millions of brands and models around, but because i live in Australia, there's no shops that can try out before i purchase.   my budget would be...

Are there any reccomendations for headphones which emphasize the mid range and roll off the highs and bass?

I just lost my Fischer Audio Eterna V2 because some ****** decided to snip them away. Now i want to buy myself a nice pair of earphones. I have seen reviews on the Sony XBA 40 and Shure 535 LTD Red and can't help deciding between the 2. I have very limited experience about earphones so I hope...

Hello! i'm down to my final 2 choices of headphones to buy. ive narrowed it down to the SE535 and the UM3x. in the headphone i wanted -replaceable cable -clear housing then i heard somewhere that the clear cables oxidize and turn green.. with the UM3x i dont have to worry about that...

So I already plan on getting the hd598 (because they look so cool and I'm so curious to hear how they sound) and se535 (want high-end IEM) soon... I'm wondering what are the best full size cans I can get within the price I mentioned.. My current headphones and amps are listed in my signature.. I...

Hi, Recently I splashed out on a pair of Shure SE535 because I'm currently on exchange in Hong Kong and found these for a good price compared to the price that I would have had to pay in the UK and while I really appreciate their accuracy when reproducing sound, I find that it some what lacks in...

Dear all,   I've recently received my Shure se535, which is a fantastic sounding IEM, and it is also my first high class IEM at all. However, I can hear a lot of background hiss from the se535 when I connected to my my MacBook Pro. I have also tried to connect to my home use DAC and HPA, I...
