Is there anything that fits the bill sub 400? I prefer over ear fit. Ive been looking at the se535, tf10, GR07, UM2, SM3. I want to rock out, I mean really rock out, to Infected Mushroom, but theres just nothing Ive heard that wil really do them justice...Im tempted to go with SM3 or GR07, they...

Since it's almost tax return time, and because the ibasso player costs too much for my tastes, I've decided to get some nice in ears.  At the moment I've got it narrowed down to either the Shure SE535 or 1964 T.    I listen mostly to 70's prog/psych/heavy rock, thrash metal, and early heavy...

I've decided to go customs this year, coming from a pair of Shure SE535's I've owned for a couple of months and am very satisfied with. I would like to get ALOT of input on the three I put in the title as I would start crying making the wrong decision.   I like the sound signature of the...

I am in new to headphones and am in the market for both a set of full-size headphones as well as a pair of IEM's.  I really enjoy the sound of my B&W 802D's - a rich, warm sound.  To me, some of the other reference speakers sound too bright or even "shrilly" to my ear - for instance, Revel and...

Hi, I was using the Shure SE535 headphones for a while until recently when they were stolen. But since I can no longer afford such high end IEMs.    I was wondering if anyone can help me decide between the two. I am concerned about the cord of the TF-10s. Hearing a lot of bad things about...

Which headphones do you reach for when you just want to tap your feet, smile, and not be concerned about isolation, soundstage, neutrality or any other audiophile concerns? They may be your most or least expensive, your newest or oldest, your most or least used headphones, or somewhere in...

ok guys so my EX-1000 arrived today and i thought id share my thoughts about these IEM's and compare them directly to the Sennheiser IE8 and shure se535.   first things first.   Design and Fit:   My immediate thoughts upon opening the earphones up was these things look stunning and...

I use Shure SE535 on the go, and I just ordered a set of Denon D2000 for exclusive usage on my home computer.   Will I notice any appreciable difference with an amp? I've never used an amp before.

Would love to hear opinions on this as I am unable to try out these IEMs for myself (the joys of living in Australia). Currently I own a Westone UM3x RC version paired with a Cowon J3 unamped. However, being the curious me, I've started looking up at some other top-tier IEMs and was interested...

Used teclast t51>headstage arrow 3g>sony hybrid tips   first thing is first.....tf10 or sm3....I think both are amazing product.....if you think sm3 is an upgrade from tf10....you are wrong.....it is a matter of taste when you get to this point.   The first time I listened to tf10 I was...

  I understand there both great IEM's, and of course, it's all about musical sounding preference to personal opinion, but i just wanted to know what IEM's would be better for listening to these sort of genres of music and what you think [know] would sound better on said headphones: Shure...

Hello guys,   I am here, because I have ordered my first high end pair of earbuds a couple days ago. I ordered the Shure SE535 on amazon.de (im german) and they arrived to day.    Having read some reviews on the internet, I expected the Shures to come in a nice metal box. Sadly, my...

I've got my eyes set on the Brainwavz B2 but how does it compare with other dual armature earphones?   I've got the Shure SE535 + Triple-Fi 10, would the Brainwavz B2 make a good backup earphone or should I just pickup the Shure SE215...or go even lower and just pick the SoundMagic PL30?  ...

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...

Within the next cupple weeks ill be shelling out a cupple pretty pennies for 3 sets of customs from custom-iem   I plan on upgrading my Sennheiser IE8 to the x3 driver upgrade (Dynamic Low and BA mid, BA High)   Upgrading and reshelling my shure SE535 CLs to the x8 Driver upgrade (2BA...

Hello guys,   I'm in the market for some good quality IEMs, and I have £350 to spend. What are the best sounding earphones in this price range? I don't want anything too clinical sounding; I want something fun and exciting with good bass and clarity. The actual build quality and comfort will...

Hey guys, I've had a couple of really nice IEMs like the FX500 and e-Q5. I really liked them a lot but the bass didn't satisfy me. So now I'm looking for a new IEM, with the absolute craziest earthquake-like bass possible but also very good quality mids and highs like my FX500/e-Q5. Are the...

I love my bose tri-ports, but alas, they're not longer being sold and its replacement (AE2) isn't holding up to its legacy of great sound quality. One pair is broken and the other isn't aging well.   I'm in the market for headphones ~$150. I'm a software engineer and may go 12 hours straight...

I lost my Shure 535 which is very sad.  So, I though I might try look at some other high end earphones.   I liked the mids of the Shures, but thought they lacked a little in the base.   Can people let me know what other earphones I should consider.   I was thinking the IE8, but i know there...

There will be a special edition of the SE535 to be released in mid-Oct, 2011 and claiming "a new approach to the sound signature and design". There is a teaser site (in Japanese) but has no interesting information except a new color (red) of the SE535.

Hi guys.    I could do with some advice for headphones. I currently own a Shure SE535 that have been (and still are) serving me extremely well. They provide such good isolation from the noisy world when i travel and give me great sound as well. However, one problem i find is that they...

I recently bought replacement cable for my se535s that is short so I can wear my shuffle or nano like necklace under my shirt. Only problem is the connector is heavier than the shuffle and it's enough that it's irritating me and I'd like to see if anyone could recommend a source for a plastic...

Getting a Whiplash cable made for my SE535 CLs   However i would like to add something unique to it, or have it designed differently from all the other typical whiplash cables.   Anyone have any ideas what i could do to make it unique?   Im getting copper wire, which is by defult...

Hey guys,   Great site, been checkin it out for a while and just reading. Leaned a lot to be honest! Finally decided on what to buy and need some help.   Decided on the IE8 as they cater to the basshead in me and also seem to have good soundstage and balance. Compared them with shure...

I am currently looking for a new set of headphones and have narrowed it down to either the shure 535 or the over ear 940.     Would the cheaper 940 sound better due to the larger drivers or can the 535 really deliver comparable sound.   I currently own the ultimate ears triple 10 and...
