Which one is better to buy? Shure Se 425, Sennheiser EI80 or Sony XBAH3? I want to by the right ones because they will be my last...

I have tried other brands, but I end up returning them. Shure builds a quality product that can last years. This model ships with a clear cord turns green inside after a year or two (the copper inside oxidizes), and while that doesn't affect the sound quality, it tells me when I should get a new cord. I use my headphones every day, and I abuse the cord. If you use it several times a day, your mileage may vary.

Have not tried the other 2, but I will say Shure makes really quality stuff. I used to think Sennheiser was on top of everything but they moved so much of there production outside of Europe, it has not been as good. Wish I could help you out further.

I owned 429s Sennheisers i got same problem the amp makes the volume louder on all 400 line Sennheisers i think,also might wanna think about getting fiio e11 i heard it goes louder than e6 but cant be used while charging like the e6 can.Makes Sennheisers sound awesome.

I cannot in truth say that they are the best because I have not compared them to other high-end IEMs. I previously used Shure SE530s with custom molds and since using the 846s (non-custom) I have experienced my music like never before. As others have written, the bass does not swamp the mids and highs which remain crystal clear. If you are not in a position to try other makes at a similar price point, you'll probably never know whether they are the best, but I'd be more than surprised if you were disappointed.

I looked this up for you and couldn't find many comparisons. I just found this guy's youtube video on headfi. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629433/new-sony-extra-bass-mdr-xb600-mdr-xb800-unboxing-videosEven so, you should try seeing if you can find more comparisons or wait until more come out to have more opinions as the guy in the video may not be 100% reliable (also, they guy said that he didn't burn them in yet). Unfortunately that my take some time.

The best headphone for gaming is hands down the $135 AD700/AD700x. By far. Nothing else comes close. Not even $400+ headphones. I'd honestly be surprised if a $1000k headset could match it.I read that the $200 q701 was a close 2nd. So I tried it. If I didn't know better I would have said the q701 was a $60 headset, and the ad700 was a $1000 in comparison.

Not this item. I bought and regret it. Sennheiser brand is king. I heard that Shure is a reliable brand as well. Remember you get what you pay for.

I'm not sure that there is a model SE125, perhaps you're thinking of the various SE215 models from Shure? Anyhow, personally, I think you'd be better offwith the Shure in-ears instead of the Creative Aurvana 3's. The Creative's, as I said, are pretty nice for the price, but the Shures will be better. The Aurvana'sdon't sound as good with a sound source such as an MP3. You have to be able to adjust bass and treble levels to get them to sound as good as they can be.I hope that helps. Ron

I have had the E10 for over a year and have been satisfied. If you are looking for amps and DACs I'd suggest heading over Headroom (http://www.headphone.com/headphone-amps/) to sort out price and quality with audio enthusiasts. Lot of very good detail reviews.

Amazon has two different options. One is just for an additional headphone. The other is for the transmitter and headphone set. The set is identified in the product description section. The add on headphone is also identified as such. Read the description then buy the RS 180 which is functionally the best Sennheiser wireless unit. Good luck with the 220 if that's the direction you decide to go.

Hello Will: I have never purchased the SHURE SE535's. I do not consider myself an audiophile in any way. I simply bought the UE 900's because the triple fi 10's sounded so good. But as my post reflected earlier, they do not last. For me personally, I am done buying expensive headphones. I will buy from Amazon but no more than 20 buck or so. That way, if they stop working, I won't be as pissed off. Next purchase will be some kind of Sony product. They tend to last a long time with good sound quality. Sorry I could not help you more. Good luck.

I just ordered these for $352 + $8.45 shipping and handling from 365USA who are an Amazon partner site. You can't find them via Amazon directly, but I found them through this site by typing in "shure se530" on google and they come up at the top (paid search) via "GoSale": http://www.gosale.com/4932054/shure-se530-sound-isolating?gclid=CMO8jfynxo4CFRFoYAod0hKDAA This site shows (at the time of this posting) 365USA at the top with the cheapest price, and that link takes you back to Amazon.com. I looked around for any negative ratings on Google etc and couldn't find any. So I hope to get these Tuesday 9/18.

I would go with whichever one looks the best to you. They are both great headphones. The sennheiser are more portable, and weigh alot less. I have both and use them in different situations. I like the sound of either one.

I use the Shure SE215CL buds. They're $99 and according to my friends, are just as good as the Shure's that cost hundreds more. I like them. They don't have enough cord to reach the ground, so I went to Radio Shack and bought a ten foot extension, that was about 10 bucks. I sit at a keyboard, so there is more than enough there for me.

Hi Ben. Sorry, can't give you a compare of IE800's to Solo2 or HD700. I haven't owned them or listened to compare. I read in some reviews where people compared IE800 as little brothers of HD800, which are a higher model compared to HD700. What I can tell you about IE800 is following. These are very tiny year buds and the way how they are constructed they are suited more for listening while seating still. They only come with rubber tips that don't hold firmly in your year canal and you don't have the option of wrapping the cable around the year like you'll find in Sure models. I personally find myself having to push them back in place while walking. They also come with a very short cable which you may find a problem as well. You may want to check if Sennheiser offers an additional longer cable sold separately. If you intend using year buds while in active motion, I think Sure SE846 or SE535 models will be more suitable. SE535 have very weak base, in my opinion. SE846 are comparable to IE800. Sure's also come with polyfoam tips that expand in your year canal and hold in place more firmly and also provide better sound isolation. Hope this helps.

i personally think this guy's sound really good!! the "surround sound" on the G430 is just the external sound card, the "adapter to convert from 3.5 to USB" and some software tweaks so if you want a headset that can be used on PS3 buy the 430 but if is just for pc then you better buy this one.
