Andrew Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I reckon the 535s might be a bit too good for my music and its ripped quality. Chances are I'll get some 425s after reading lots of reviews on all of this and considering views on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm not an Audiophile, so I make do with the earphones that came with my iPhone, if they were to get lost/broken I would simply buy the cheapest set I can find.Not because I'm a tightwad, but simply because I don't personally value the better sound quality over a cheap set. The standard Apple headphones are one of my pet hates, the iPhone is an incredible product and yet they ship the worst, cheap crap headphones with them. Another £5 on the purchase price and, given the volume they would buy, they could suppply a great set! I've had Etymotic's which are great and currently using Monster Turbine Pro's - next set likely to be Shure's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Baz, given the amount of long-haul flying you do, can you get noise cancelling in-ear headphones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Oh it's all early 90s Europop and techno for Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 In which case our musical tastes are aligned! Or I've just admitted something I really needn't have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just ordered a pair of Shure SE535s for the bargain price of £275. Hope they're as good as everyone says! They are replacing my worn out Etymotic ER-6i's which were pretty bloody good themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Wow, that's a serious music habit you have there! I bought MrsMe a pair of Sennheiser(?) earphones for £40 for when she's on the treadmill and she says they're far superior to the standard earphones - but at £275 I'd say you're an afficiando of picking up audio differences through earphones!

Andrew Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'll be going for the 425s. I think the 535s might pick out the fact a good portion of my main musical taste is badly recorded! I did go into a hi-fi shop today to look at some new speakers. While I was in there the staff were demoing a LINN vinyl turntable which was £14k - the stylus alone was £3k. It sounded utterly amazing - easily as good as the sound out of a CD - it had to be heard to be believed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 oops, forgot about this thread! Baz, given the amount of long-haul flying you do, can you get noise cancelling in-ear headphones? Have never seen them myself, most people use the Bose or Sony over ear offerings but I can't get on with them - its not natural! Also Baz - what sort of music are you listening to and how good is the quality? Mostly house, drum&bass and dubstep - though I'm getting a bit old for this Oh it's all early 90s Europop and techno for Baz errrrr, have you been sneaking a look at my iTunes list?! Just ordered a pair of Shure SE535s for the bargain price of £275. Hope they're as good as everyone says! They are replacing my worn out Etymotic ER-6i's which were pretty bloody good themselves.

RobK Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Result - where did you order them from? link? Got them from here: Shure SE535 Sound Isolating Earphones Bronze There are some on ebay at £252 from Hong Kong but I wasn't sure if I would get stung for import duty on them. Plus they would probably take longer to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biturbo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Here's one that hasn't come up yet - Ultimate Ears super-fi 5EB You haven't heard bass from a earphone until you've popped these in your ear!

Plus they would probably take longer to arrive. Well they haven't turned up yet and doing a bit of Googling about the site I bought them off, I'm now rather suspicious. Various comments around the web about being sent counterfeit goods. I think I might just ring Amex and cancel the transaction. Hope nobody else bought any from my link.

Andrew Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Nope, I didn't (although was tempted) - bought some 425s this afternoon with some vouchers I had, really looking forward to hearing them - arrive tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Just found them here for less anyway! Shure SE535 Triple MicroDriver In-Ear Headphones with Detachable Cable (Bronze) - AccessoryJack They have an excellent seller rating too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Do be aware Rob that I think if you buy them from a non authorised reseller I don't think the warranty is valid. That said, I'm not 100% sure Amazon are a reseller anyway. I thought that regardless of where you buy products from in the EU though that a manufacturer couldn't refuse to honour the warranty.
