They need to include better strain relief at the plug. I'm getting mine replaced because the slightest movement will cause my right channel to cut out.

Listen mostly to orchestral film soundtracks (i.e. Dark Knight/Gladiator), classical music (i.e. violin concertos/string quartets), and light alternative rock+pop+female vocals with guitar. |

I love my SE530 for movie scores and orchestral music, perhaps the most of all my IEMs. I believe they're quite picky to pair and I also do EQ them to suit my taste (like I do with every other IEM as well), but for soundtracks they're hard to beat - their lush, grand sound makes dense orchestral stuff sound better than the more analytical, "monitor-esque" PFE, in my opinion. |
