I love the Shure SE530. However, unlike the the triple fi's which are not as comfortable, the Shures do not have any conforming wire at the place that wraps around your ear. I would love to be able to implement a conforming wire so that the cable doesn't have to put on my ear. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks

not really, unless you want to solder new wire. within a couple weeks i should be receiving my custom e500 tips; maybe their slight repositioning of the wire will make them more comfortable; i'll report when I get them...

This is originally from a member of Jaben.net, but I don't remember who he/she is.

Basically, you warp one of those wrapping cable that come with headphone / electronic on cable near to the earpieces and make it conform to your ear.

Wow! What an ingenious little idea! I'm gona have to try that

Radio Shack sells cheap headphones that come with a semi-circle piece of plastic that can be used on the 500's to hold them in place.

Shure definitely dropped the ball on this one, espcially with $500 headphones. The predecessors (the E5C's) had a memory conforming cable for behind the ear.

I only use my E500's when I wear sunglasses outside and place the cable underneath the sunglass ear pieces.

I have the same problem with my Ety ER4P's.

This is the sole reason why I went with the Triple.Fis, The replacable cord!
This should be a standard for all $100+ earphones. I've had too many expensive IEMs go bad on me because of the cords.
The fit of the Triple.fis have never bothered me, I don't know why so many people have trouble with them. I can wear them for a long time and forget they are even there.

hey my se530 cable is a true memory cable since it is so tough, it remain what it is on my ear while it's not.

and the rubber part seems dying these days

I second the wrap around idea, but I suggest stopping by radio shack and getting 24 guage solid wire as the wrapping material. It feels better than just the regular ties.

Westone did things right with their IEM design. Everything is just perfect for a universal IEM.

Matter of opinion. Ihave the E5C's and hated the ear-conforming wire. That's why I removed it.

Almost everything that we say here and throught out our daily lives, including this thread, is a matter of of opinion...don't you think?

But but I still think that you are extremely handsome, and if I were gay, I'd be all over you like white on rice

But again, that's just my opinion

And, if I were gay, I'd reject you with a swift kick to the nuts.

Wow...that's so final. Wait..is a swift kick a good thing, or a bad thing?

Makin' friends wherever you go, just makin' friends...lol j/k

Wow...though I have no problem wearing SE530...what ClieOS posted is quiet an impressive idea! I might want to try them if they make any better! Thank you!
