I am debating between getting the 315k headphones and the 215----does anyone have experience with both and can tell me if the 315 is better than the 2

I'm a bit of an audiophile. B&O; system, KEF speakers etc. I never tried the 2's. But I can say the 3's r worth every penny...although a bit awkward at first to place in the ear. Had mine for a good while now and they are built to last. Just get a good fit. I use them every day.

They are both great, but the 315's are better sounding. I have a pair of 535's that sound good, but I use these more often than most all my earbuds. If I am listening through my home system, I use Beyerdynamic's either mt T-70's or my T-90's. Also as with all speakers and headphones there is going to be a break in period. They will sound different in a few weeks than right out of the box.

I have owned both for more than a month each. If you can afford it, the hi def driver in the 315s makes it worth every penny.

I tried 215 & 315, then I bought 315. The reason is that 315 makes me listen every single line of different sound clearly, no matter its from instruments or vocal. However, it is lacking of bass compared with 215 if you are a bass lover. That's because of the different positioning of the product. I already have a Denon one which performs with rich and deep bass so that I choose 315 just for different type of music. FYR ^^

I find these as comfortable as previous Shure SE's. I used my 315s the most, and on flights I could sleep in them. The 846 are a little bigger, but fit in the ear the same. I only kept the 535s for about 2 weeks before I got rid of them, however the fit felt the same as the 315s. I would say, if you don't get on with the 535 fit, then you probably would not get on with the 846. Try and find somebody who can provide you with a demo pair. I struggled to find anybody who could provide a demo in the UK. However, stumbled across a store called InMotion whilst in Atlanta air port who had a demo pair. If you are spending the best part of £1000 on iems, you want them to feel comfortable. I find these as comfortable as previous Shure SE's.

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.

From what I've read the 700x is more comfortable and for me they are, but as many people have said they fit a large head. Also 700x are a updated version, with a slightly adjusted bass response. Complaints of the original 700s was that they were lacking bass. I power them with asus essence stx sound card and would rate them very highly for their price, comfort, sound quality. Maybe like a 9/10

I never saw or heard the hm-700, but you can consider the re-400 ear pieces balanced, if colored sound is your concern. They are very lean on the bass, more mid-range focused. When my pair were burned in after about a week of use, they lost all the bass, I couldn't tolerate them, so they were returned. If you want analytic audio gear, you will love these.

I purchased the SET 840-S because I thought it would be much more comfortable with separate earphones or earbuds rather then have the whole receiver unit hanging from your ears as in the SET 840.Hope this helps.

Is it close to normal headphones lol these are at the top end in sound I had a pair of grado's before they broke the 225i and the sound a lot warmer with better bass and even though they're not as detailed as the 325i from grado you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference unless you put them in a very high quality hifi..I've tried sony/and bose/mommouth and they beat them all on sound...we're these fall down is there not as comphe as the bose top line and if you like the bass of the sonys but these are well balanced and very well refined you'd be hard pressed to find better for less money only 325i from grado beat them but they are open backed and lack the bass and have no noise cancellation Is it close to normal headphones lol these are at the top end in sound I had a pair of grado's before they broke the 225i and the sound a lot warmer with better bass and even though they're not as detailed as the 325i from grado you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference unless you put them in a very high quality hifi..I've tried sony/and bose/mommouth and they beat them all on sound...we're these fall down is there not as comphe as the bose top line and if you like the bass of the sonys but these are well balanced and very well refined you'd be hard pressed to find better for less money... » Read More Is it close to normal headphones lol these are at the top end in sound I had a pair of grado's before they broke the 225i and the sound a lot warmer with better bass and even though they're not as detailed as the 325i from grado you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference unless you put them in a very high quality hifi..I've tried sony/and bose/mommouth and they beat them all on sound...we're these fall down is there not as comphe as the bose top line and if you like the bass of the sonys but these are well balanced and very well refined you'd be hard pressed to find better for less money only 325i from grado beat them but they are open backed and lack the bass and have no noise cancellation « Show Less

thanks for the info. Do you think the sound quality is as good on the 325 as the 350? Obviously the size of the unit is bigger on the 325 but I was wondering if this is the only difference?

Better. No comparison. 3000 is a solid unit, hassle free. But that unit is old,there are other options in that price range now... check out the numark. Or see if you can find a used m audio xponent. Owned that one for years.... way superior to either.

I actually ordered both and ended up sending back the Sennheisers. Yes, the Sennheisers sound more airy/open, obviousy. And they are ridiculously comfortable. But apart from that, the Brainwavz win. The 598s have a very "warm" sound, which some people might like, but the HM5s had a much more clear and accurate sound. The 598s didn't have nearly as much bass. You couldn't really "feel" it the way you can with the HM5s, and the bass would occasionally peak out with really low stuff. All in all I would recommend the Brainwavz, hands down.

The bass is good on the 598s. It goes deep and its very controlled, but you really need an amp to get full bass potential. However, it's nowhere near the bass amount or impact on the M50s. No Sennheiser is. Most open headphones aren't either. You'll be disappointed if you're looking for the same amount of bass. If you're looking for an upgrade to the M50, check out the ATH-A900x. I just bought a manufacturer refurbished pair on Amazon for $95. Comparable to Denon D2000 for 1/3 the price. Similar to M50 sound signature. 90% of the bass, better clarity, better soundstage.

They're both really great and I doubt you'll be disappointed with either one of em. Both the headphone's sound quality appeal to your sense of music. I think your decision will have to rely on the physical body of the headphones. If you're looking for a lightweight headphone on-the-go type of style, I'd recommend the momentum 2.0. If you want heavier, tighter, more durable type with better passive noise cancellation get these. Of the two, the momentum is more comfortable. But I really love the noise cancellation of these.

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

You can find the specs on these at Shures web site, but I think the SE 315's run at 27 hertz.

These are pretty much 'reference' earphones - so they will sound almost exactly as the audio is mastered (generally will sound flat in their response). If you want punchier bass, go for the cheaper SE-315 which are optimized for low-end/bass.

I don't have experience with the E4Cs, but I use the 315Ks for in ear monitoring with my band. Our drummer has a heavy hand and our bass player has a tendency to crank up his volume. With the sound isolation in the 315Ks, I've had no issues hearing my mix and need to pull them out when we stop to chat.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed
