Hey,
I'm new here, my name's Ben, I'm not a pro at any of this, I just have a few questions.
About a year ago I had the Shure E3c's and though they were great except for songs that had a lot of drums or bass. They broke so I bought the Bose QuietComfort 2's which I have heard a lot of good things about. Yes, they are quite expensive but I just wanted good headphones to listen to. I really love the sound-cancelling on flights, it works great. Now, what bothers me a lot is that they are extremely bulky. So i started thinking about getting in-ear headphones. I am currently looking at the Shure SE530's. Now will these be a big improvement over the Bose? All I really care about is the fit, the sound quality, and the size. I'm not going to drop 500 bucks for earphones that have the same sound quality as the Bose. That is my main concern (apart from the size). Do you guys think it's worth it? Do you have any other suggestions? I have an iPod Classic 80GB that works great, I get a bit of a hiss with the Bose but it's not too bothering. I know nothing about portable amps and all, will I really be able to take advantage of the Shure SE530's sound quality with my iPod Classic?
Thanks a lot!
