[A Random Potato]

Hey everyone.

I need some help, I currently have Shure SE310s but the left ear bud doesnt work because they were water damaged. So now I am looking to buy a new pair of IEMs.

I want to buy them from a authorized dealer. And as of right now the se530s are $300.90, the se420s are $252.43, the ultimate ear are $189.70. All on amazon.

What would you guys suggest?

I have a TF10 and I like the sound but the fit is hit or miss depending on your ears. I have an SE310 and the TF10 is much much better.

tf 10 - more balanced across entire spectrum
shure 530- analytical, lots of mids
shure 420- no comparison

why thank you

I actually prefer the 420's over the 530's. I find the bass a little overpowering on the 530's. Its nice and balanced on the 420's.

I cannot make comment on the TF10. I can't get a good fit with them.

Or because you miss out the better deal for the 530? Lol. Just kidding.

Anyway hairygorillaz did you remold your 420?

Just don't look in the mirror with TF10's in.

When some one says 420>530 I get real confused. No offense to the poster........Just can't fathom it.

Sorry Im new to the IEM world. And i ust wanted to know if the extra money for the 530 are worth it

So i take it that i should dish out the extra money?

 

[the search never ends]

^^^ In my opinon yes, what price are you finding?

 

[A Random Potato]

300 for the PTH version on amazon

Read the comparisons between the 530 and the IE8 and Westone 3, UM3X etc, they're all the same price as the 530 and have superior sound quality.

I pm'd you a place that's a little cheaper, just realize that none of these dealers are "authorized" ..if that's a concern

the tf10 doesn't look bad. In fact, well to me, i find them to look really nice, special compared to other earphones

I agree

At least, you're afforded that rare opportunity to be transformed into Frankenstein once you start wearing it.
