The matter of the cable on the Shure E5c turning green has been raised before on this Forum. I have a pair that are about 10 weeks old and have just noticed the green appearing on the cable part which goes around the back of the neck. I don't play squash with them on (jeez - I'm 65 !!) and I...

I got this idea off of Toucharcade, where they have an ongoing series called 'RPG reload'- every week, they play a legendary RPG that came out years ago, just to relive the magic of old.   The idea for the IEM reload is to dust off your 'retired' gear of old- the gear that you used to love...

Hi everyone!   I've encountered a problem I am not able to solve recently.   I sold two pairs of JH products to two buyers recently and I was informed by the reshell company that they have problems with their drivers. One side of the JH13 has problem with its bass driver while one side...

Okay, so my new IEM's have arrived. After some fairly extensive listen-in (I am not calling it burn-in, as I am still not entirely sure I believe in it) I have some thoughts on their sound, and I thought it was about time I put finger to keyboard and wrote something about it. This may not be...

Hi Folks I'm getting re-shelled custom moulds done. Originally I was going to get just my 530 drives done but I have some e5's with a broken cable that I'm thinking about throwing into the mix to create 5 drivers a side. Is this worth doing, are e5's too old, will the sound be good (I...

I've always heard about the performance of the shure e5, but I never had a chance to try one. There is a chance for me to buy a pair of scl5 now, is it the same thing as the e5? Can someone please explain the difference between e5 and scl5? which one's better? 

I had my Shure E5c's remolded by UM about 3 months ago and have been very happy with them. Recently however I have been noticing that the right channel is a lot louder than the left. There is still signal coming through the left but less than half the right. At first I thought I might be losing...

  I've had my UM remolds for three months and they have not been used very much. Last week I noticed that the bass response in the left channel had gone. I checked for wax or dirt, nothing. Replaced the cable. Nothing.   Fortunately I got clear shells so I can see all the wiring...

Hello, I currently own a Shure e5c and a RE0.  I like the e5c for its bass (the RE0 lacks bass compared to the e5c) and for the fact that I can go jogging with them (I don't know how it's called, but the cable close to the ear is rougher and has " memory").  The RE0 is a good IEM for its price...

              Hi all     Have been looking around but didn't manage to find much info on SCL5 (a discontinued product from shure).   Really liked this pair of iem to the extent I am thinking of purchasing a brand new set just to collect.   For the curious head-fiers...

Hi folks, Newbie here. Looking for recommendations in the $150-300 price point. Am looking for a nice IEM that's a good all rounder - mostly Hard Rock with a dip into pop and rock from time to time. Also play guitar so something that works as a monitor for a modeller would be a bonus...

I'm going crazy trying to find tips for my E5c's. Triple flange, yellow foamies, olive looking things, jeezus ... none of them sound right to me, not enough bass, tough time getting a really good seal ... these are my issues. If anybody can recommend their experiences with custom ear molds for...

I travel a lot for work and have used Shure e5C in-ear monitors for years with my iPod loaded with lossless files.  Used Shure E3s before that.   Am thinking I'd like to switch to an on-ear, rugged, portable HP.  Have been reading a lot about the Beyer DT 1350s and Senn HD-251 II.  Are there...

I just received my Westone UM3x's this week and all I can say is, "Wow". I also own the Shure se530's and Ultimate Ear triple.fi 10's and I really enjoyed both but I couldn't help but note the flaws in both IEM's. It's no news to anyone who's been on this fourm, "se530's do great in the mids...

I poked around the advanced search found nada, and its got me thinking I cant find any becasue maybe those companies cant hide the old giant crossover with new replaceable / detachable cables, where would this old crossover go -- cant hide this thing in the mold ....   If anyone has a...

Hi there,   been reading a bunch and now I want to ask a more specific question. I'm a guitarist both in clubs and church. I have experience with Shure E2's and E5's and for the past 6 months or so I've been using Westone UM2's. The Westone's are a vast improvement over either Shure model...

I'm looking for a pair of earbuds for around $40 or less that are the style of apple's stock ear buds, not the kind that make a seal with a rubber tip in your ear that isolate outside sound (i'm not sure the technical name on either of these). I've heard good things about the Yuin Pk3's, and...

So I loaned my beloved second pair of E5s to a friend who lost/had them stolen at the gym. I called shure and they don't sell them any more and I remembered this place is teeming with folks with good taste. I'm willing to pay a fair price or trade my super fi for a pair. PM me if you can help...

First-time poster.     So I just completed the HT setup of my dreams....about 3 months ahead of our first baby arriving!  He's due in April.  There are plenty of open and closed ear cans that I would be happy with, but this being my first baby, I don't know which I should choose.  I'm...

Don't know much about portable gear ...yet. I have a Samsung Z5 that just died and use the Sure E5 earphones (the clear ones). I Love electronic bass music like inner party system, crystal method, m83 and heavy stuff like rammstein, dream theater, and bullet for my valentine.   I'm looking...

  Bought a pair of Super.fi 5 pro in NYC back in 2007.   These were to replace my Koss Porta Pros (had 2) as I wanted something really portable at that time. Wasn't pleased with the price value of the Shures e4c (as compared to e3c) and couldn't afford the e5c.   Like many other...

REVIEW OF FIDELITY TRIPLES This review is somewhat long overdue, but I wanted to made sure that what I was hearing was accurate and wanted to review the final sound of the burnt-in Fidelity Triples. I hope its not too scanty, and do take what i say with a pinch of salt, as our preferences and...

After posting in a thread just now about IEM preference, it shocked me at just how many IEMs / Canalphones I have... Considering I only have one pair of ears... it is worrying that I have: MTPC IE8 Denon C751 Klipsch X10 Panasonic HJE-900 JVC HP-FX1000 JVC HA-FX500 Shure SE500 UE...

Does anyone have any thoughts about the best portable amp with Shure e5c? I've been looking at Xin?

I just got a new pair of SE535's back from Shure as a replacement for my broken E5s that were on back-order and thought I would post my comments here since I had read a lot of good information here prior to deciding to accept the upgrade replacement.  My background is that of a part...
