Hey guys. I really need your advice.
As far as I know, Shure customer service is fantastic. Its amazing, from what ive heard.
Im looking at the Shure SE530 or the SE530PTH. So far, on ebay, I am looking at a powerseller with 12000+ feedback and his overall feedback being 99.9%. He is selling the SE530 for $249.00 and the SE530PTH for $299.00. On Headroom, the price right now for the SE530 is around $330 and the SE530PTH is about $410. The catch is, Headroom is an authorized dealer, so i get the 2 year warrenty. The ebay seller, however, is selling the earphones without the warrenty. Insted, he offers the Squaretrade 3 year warrenty for $35. Ive read some review of Squaretrade and about half says that it is a scam. Im not too sure thats the way to go. I really want the warrenty because I want to be able to return it if something goes wrong and get a new pair ASAP. However, Is it worth $80-$110 for the warrenty??
Ive heard some problems about the SE530 but not a lot. Something about the wires. I really need you veterans to help me about because I think that the headroom offer is about to end.
One more thing. With ebay, I can use paypal, which I have all the funds. However, if I go with headroom, I can not use paypal because I am not verified. I would have to explain to my mom why the heck im spending close to $400 on earphones and not sending it to darfur. I can get her to give it to me but theres going to be a lot of headache and will take a lot of effort.
P.S.
I really like the PTH device, but I think I can do without if it costs too much.
I will also take recommendations for earphones in the price range if anyone wants to give me some. I have about $360, but my budget is about $400 as I can get that money quick. My use for the earphones is mostly on the bus with the rockboxed ipod. Sometimes recording piano. I dont really want over ear though. If you have a spectacular over ear recommendation, go ahead and post it though. I'll check it out.
