Hey everyone... it's been a long time since I've posted. Firstly, please don't flame me for asking this question... I just spent the last ten minutes doing searches to see if this has been discussed. So far I haven't found anything to answer my questions.
Here's my situation:
My E500 wires are cracking and Shure doesn't repair headphones that are out of warranty... at least that's what they're telling me here in Canada, and the same story out of the US office. What they've offered me is a replacement pair of SCL5. I haven't been following Shure's model development, so when this was mentioned to me I said: "... Huh, what the hell is a SCL5?" After going through the "Pro Audio" area of Shure's area I found the SCL5... and they kinda look like the e5? Anyhow, I would love for someone who's up to speed with Shure's model to shed some light on the following question:
1) How do the SCL5 compare to my e500?
2) Does $145 seem like a reasonable amount of money for the swap (i.e. I send in my damaged e500 and $145, and Shure sends me a brand new pair of SCL5)?
Again, I've searched the forum for associated thread and didn't find anything. So, if this has been discussed elsewhere please forward me the link.
Thanks!
