How does this compare with the shure se125? Im confused as to which one I should get.

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

Sorry back to you now, the earphone to me not feeling well I always worry about my strong point will put the earphone line break ~ if you just use it without demanding words can still consider it

I'm assuming you mean se215 I haven't used them so I couldn't say The Aurvana are a nic little iem the highs aren't as "sparkly" as some would like though, I find them quite neutral, not very prominent bass , mids stand out, All I know about the shures is the blue ltd edition have more punchier bass

you mean se 215? I don't try se 215 before.But they has there own advantages. What kind of music you prefer? For IE3, the quality of human voice is great. But the bass is a little bit weak. I have already used it for more than 50 hours and the bass quality became much better than before. If you have more questions, feel free to contact me.

Those eye the ones I was going to get, bit I decided to go with these because they come with a lot of tips and it has 2 separate drivers for the base and tweeter sounds out really sounds great. Look at some video reviews on YouTube those should help :)

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.

Much better than the Bose (great marketing, below average sound). But for a little less you can purchase the Shure SE530 IEM's right here (they retail for $500 but are available here for around $269), great IEM's.

I assume the physical design of the SE846's is identical to the SE535's.I initially found the SE846's to be uncomfortable over extended periods, but have found that my ears are adjusting to them slowly. The longest session I've had is 90 minutes so far. I suspect though that i will use my custom UE11's though for long flights

Shure called product the SE215LTD Limited Edition. I don't know where the title SE215 SPE came from.

It was for me. I really like my Dayton Sub 1000 for my basement budget system. But there was too big a difference with that and my Polk PSW505 in my main system. The Sub-1200 was a big improvement. My Polk PSW505 still blows the 1200 away, but it closes the gap a bit. It's perfect for my budget system. I feel that you get a lot more subwoofer for $20 more with the 1200. If I were you though, I would get the Polk PSW505 which is on sale for $199 right now. It's a steal at that price. You do live in a studio apartment so it could be too much. With all that being said, I think the Sub-1200 is a great buy. Great sub for this price. Check out my review for more info on the Dayton Sub-1200

I haven't owned either pair, but I've read good things about both. They are both consistently in the top 10, though Shure SE420 is usually higher on the list. Here's what CNET had to say: The good: The Shure SE420 earphones offer high-quality sound from a dual-driver design. They come with a nice compliment of accessories, and the eartips block out a lot of ambient noise. The bad: The Shure SE420s are expensive, and are a tad large for earbuds. For such pricey 'buds, the SE420s are also a bit bass-shy. Some people might not like the feel of the earplug-like fit. The bottom line: You can't go wrong with Shure's SE420 earphones, despite their high price tag--unless you have the money to buy the SE530s, their more expensive cousins. The good: The Etymotic hf2 earphones offer great sound quality, and there's a built-in mic for making and receiving calls. A couple of useful accessories, such as a case, are included. The bad: The Etymotic hf2 earphones don't work with all MP3 players. They may be uncomfortable for those who don't like sticking things far into the ear. The bottom line: For iPhone users with a penchant for improved sound quality and a willingness to stick things in their ears, the Etymotic hf2 earphones are a reasonable option. On one hand, the Shures are 25% more than the Etymotics. However, you can get $100 off the Shures if you agree to join audible for a year. So that's a pretty cool deal if you listen to audio books.

They are very similar in many ways. I got the PC 360 before these but sent them back because the velvet-ey feel on the earcups weren't comfortable for me at all. They both sound very similar though. Unfortunately neither of these have active noise cancellation but but having the PC 350E's on your head are far better than the PC 360 because of its closed-back design. I can without a doubt say that both of those headphones are great and the purchase just comes down to your personal preference. Good luck!

900 has more detail and separation than the Shures. The only problem with the 900 is the "connection" issue. That is why I returned mine.

I've had the X3 and now the X5, no comparison between the two. I have my X5 paired with the Fiio e12 diy, that is the ultimate.

The UE 900 will have a deeper extension in the bass, and there is much more clarity and sparkle in the highs. The 535s focus more on the midrange and lack in the treble extension, but have good bass extension just not as deep as the UE 900. IMO the UE. 900 is a better all around headphone, but watch the cables on the 900, there was been some quality control issues with cable connectors.

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.

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.

Holy moly, I wish I had that problem..to choose between two companies with stellar offerings. The LS50 is exceptional, would I prefer a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies......in a heartbeat. But, as the monetary system collapses, you are probably far better off to get some acoustic instruments.

I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them. However, I can say a bit about the Sub-12HG. IN MY OPINION this sub is not very "musical". It doesn't play upper frequencies (60Hz+) very well and isn't very accurate (punchy). On the other hand, this sub is excellent for low frequency needs (down to around 25Hz-40Hz). I have found that it produces more quantiful bass rather than tight and accurate bass. Therefore, it CAN be great for movies, some rap/hip-hop -- pretty much anything needing strictly low end boom. I personally would not advise it for just music use. This is based on my personal experience. I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them.

I bought the Shure SE530 and have been using the Shure 5E and the newer Shure 530 are much better sounding!

Hello Rachel, although I cannot make a comparison to another model, I can tell you that I would never consider buying anything but the Shure SR440 headphones. I have been using them since I purchased a digital piano and it takes me to another world. The Shure SR440 headphones block out all other sounds and the quality is off the chart. Don't look any further.
