Any Shure model that DOES NOT suffer from cable rot? Does such an earphone exist from this company?

I thought it was just me! I got my pair in summer '07, and they failed less than a year later. I had them replaced via Shure, and now the replacements have failed again. I don't use them excessively - they just seem to wear out. Other than the high probability of failure, these headphones are awesome.

This earphones are ok to play music, but they are not great for audio monitoring. If you can make an effort buy the shure se-215. I know they are more expensive but believe me the difference in audio quality and instrument separation is huge.

Not sure, but it wouldn't matter to me now if it did. This cable is of such inferior quality I wouldn't spend the money on it. I bought the headset, which comes with the regular cable and this one; quality of the materials and durability could not be farther apart. Standard set are up to what you'd expect from Shure. This one? I'd expect it on some off brand, "value" priced model. If I'd have bought the headset and only received the standard cable, my opinion of the overall experience would be completely different. As it stands, to buy that headset for $150 including both cables it paying for a piece of junk, and that's what this cable is. Problem is, it'll probably make it through the first 30 days, so your return to Amazon can't happen and you have to deal with these guys directly.

The only headphone that I know does that is Bose. The over the ear noise cancellation ones are awesome.

Just wanted to pass along that Amazon took back the opened package. Others I've listen to didn't sound anything like the crappy ones I received.Amazon has first rate customer service. I'm going to try a different pair from here. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I had to go back and use my long cord earphones because of that. Let me know if you find out the warranty. Thanks - Kendal

Havent had any problems, but with any pair of shure, u can send them back to the factory if broken and they will always replace for free

Amazing. Thank you for that post!That's exactly what I was wondering about--if Shure made some of these that didn't actually crack. I'm sure professionals have many pairs of in-ear monitors but I can't imagine anyone would be happy with them cracking all the time.Do you workout at all in your e4c's by the way?(And do or can you wear them in the same manner, wrapping then around the ear?)

You can find better information on the Shure website regarding their warranty. I'm fairly certain that Amazon.com is an authorized Shure retailer and that there won't be any issue, if you for some reason, needed these returned, refurbished, or replaced.

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere. I should've just purchased them before :( I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular. edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID=43&prodID=156 It is listed as discontinued. I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

I contact Klipsch support since the seams on my M40 ear pads had seperated within the 2-year warranty. I was told they no longer have ear pads since the headphones are discontinued. That is certainly a poor excuse given that they are within warranty. I certainly won't be making any future purchases from Klipsch based on this poor after sales support. Perhaps a different brand of headphones has a comparable sized replacement ear pad that will fit these? Has anyone found such a match? Considering the cost I'm not ready to throw them away.

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 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 have been using a pair of these headphones for several years. They continue to work great, but the cushions are beginning to peal off of the earpieces. I did not think of looking for replacements for the cushions to replace them. Instead I bought a new set of headphones. But I would like to try to repair the old ones to save some cash for next time. Will you share where you purchased the replacement cushions? I have used my headphones with several different mp3 players but none of them were ipods.

I wanted to get a new one and they no longer make that headphone. Ask your local Best Buy. Sorry
