I'm about to buy my first expensive headphones looking to spend Max $120. Since i'm tired of being cheap headphones that break all the time. I was looking at Dre. beats but everyone tells me their overrated and over-priced?  I've been looking at Shure and Sennheiser, but cant seem to figure out...

I purchased a pair of Shure E4c IEMs a few years ago and used them practically everyday. They've been good to me, but the cables have started to turn green in various places (from the copper oxidizing I would think), the connector has had most of its gold plating worn off and the plastic boots...

How lenient is Shure with the two year limited warranty in terms of time? If I were to send back an item a few months after the date noted on the plug, would the accept it? The reason I am asking is because the date on the plug is when the IEM was manufactured, but not necessarily when it was...

Hello all,   So last year I bought a set of SHURE E2c or they might be E2g in ear monitors,,,anyone know how to tell the apart????   they are the best head phones i have ever had in my head,,,they sound very good but I want to get the most out of them..  looking for a DOC that will not...

I have an IE8, but I have heard a lot of good things about IE7 too. Might gave a shot, since the price is incredible, but I have this strange feeling they might be fake!? DealExtreme: $5.01 KM902 Noise Isolation In-Ear Earphone (3.5mm Jack/120cm Cable) or what about IE6s!? DealExtreme...

So I was in NYC last night coming from party drunk as hell on subway and someone pickpocket me for my cigarettes, sony walkman x1000, and my SHURE SE530's which I just had replaced last frackin month.  I know I didn't drop them cause i smoked a cigarrette before getting on the train and remember...

I just got my RE-ZERO's today and the shure olives.  Problem is, the Shure Olives do not fit on my RE-ZERO's.  there is a plastic piece inside of it that just won't go on the speaker driver.  I know there was a link on here some place to make them fit, but I cannot find it.  Can someone help me!

For any of you out there who have had the pleasure of using shures new olive foamies, you know that they are the bomb. Nuff said. They are, in my opinion and the opinion of many others on these forums, the best tips out there. They provide excellent isolation, they're super comfortable, they're...

Hey everyone, don't know if this has been posted before but I recently started cleaning my Etymotic tips with Hydrogen peroxide. I would assume it will work with any brands tips too. Basically, I just soak them in a bit of H2O2 overnight. This works especially well with the foam tips since it...

I was looking around eBay and can someone tell me if this is a fake Shure It looks like a Shure E4 but I have never seen that color combination

Could you, in your ultimate wisdom, identify these Shure IEMs?       Sorry about the blurry pics - a friend of mine friend took them. He said that his brother paid a pretty penny for these but there is no model number on the IEMs themselves or the case they came with.    ...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've been reading through the archives but I couldn't find any helpful info.   A couple of years ago I lost a pair of Shure E3C's that were given to me after using them for a theatre show. They were fitted with what I think is Medium soft flex sleeves. These were...

After spending years buying and replacing cheap headphones within a matter of months, I have decided to step it up a notch, and get a decent pair of iems. The main problem is that I have very sensitive ears, and can't stand having to push the phones in too deep to get a good seal, I had to...

recieved my ck9s, i disagree with all the bad reviews i like them, though i agree the bass is a bit lacking after reading a few forums apparently the foamies help, anyone agree?   also where can i get these in the uk, i dont want to buy the wrong ones.    amp wise - using ibasso d2...

Hi, can anyone tell me whether the black foam sleeves will fit on the SoundMagic pl21 nozzle?   I read somewhere that they could be modded to fit on the PL11. I used to have the PL11, and the nozzle was quite a bit bigger than the pl21's.   Also, can anyone tell me which comply tips will...

I want to replace my OEM iPhone 3Gs earbuds with higher quality earphones, but I still need to a remote/mic capability.  I really do not like the in-ear style earphones so the Yuin PK2 looks like what I need.   What remote/mic adapter would you recommend to go with the Yuin?   It seems...

Hi I am looking to replace my old Sony MDR-V300's (which I loved) with a new pair of headphones for under $120.00. I have a Futureshop, Visions, and a Best Buy in town so I can only go for brands that they sell. They sell Sony, Skullcandy, JVC, Shure, JBL, Monster, Acoustic Research, Pioneer...

Thoroughly digging my SRH840's, but already am trying to find a way to get some velour pads to try to replace the (very nice) leather pads. I listen to headphones about 8 hours a day and leather can get a little sticky for that long a period. Anyone with the SRH840's have other phones that might...

So i constructed a list of average used headphones prices. This should be useful for those just entering the used gear market. Let me know if i have anything wrong on the list.   Prices do not include shipping. Prices in US Dollar and are based on excellent condition of the equipment.  ...

Hi all,     I have a question regarding alternative sleeves for Shure earphones, specifically in this case the SE530. It's something that's been mildly bugging me since the E5 days, but long-term use of triple flanges particularly in my Ety days left my ears really irritated, and my...

Hello everyone,   I've been a long-time reader, but a first time poster. I've read alot about Shures, Grados, Klipsch... but I feel like I know almost nothing about the etys. Can someone specify the differences between the different models of Etymotic iems? It seems like the ER-4P is the...

Everyone here says oh they should be $100 - $150 , nonsense. If you look at the market they are competing with , the Sony NC500D , Bose QC , Sennheiser 380 the Beats are actually well priced to beat them all. SQ wise only the NC500D are better imo.   Beats are noise cancelling...

are the medium shure olives close in size to the comply mediums ?

Getting just 8 pairs of mixed Shure/Comply tips to Luxembourg from Amazon.de would cost me 42 euros (from third party sellers). For 8 bits of foam. Some things I'm just not yet ready to put up with   Any other good websites in continental Europe that would ship for cheaper..?
