Im about to buy a pair and just had a couple questions

1) Do you have to wrap the wire around your ear or is it optional?

2) How is the bass response/levels on these?

3) Is it worth it to fork over the extra money and get the SE420s?

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance

you might want to post this in the portable headphone section..

Shure IEMs can go in straight too, don't need to wrap around the ears, just that sometimes it might get in your way, so I personally prefer wrapping it. As for whether or not it's worth it? Well, if you'll be amping it properly or if you have a good player, I'd say get the SE420s.

BTW, you probably should ask on the portable headphones/IEM board.
