Fat Tires Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 These look like they're gear to a certain market segment by their monochromatic design. If these sound like other Shure earphones, these will be a pleasure to listen with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Expect to see more headphones geared towards cell phones [as there's mention of the QuietSpot Inline in this press release] as 2005 will be all about MP3's and cell phones, espesically with the Motorola + Apple iTunes phone coming out soon.I still can't get into earbuds though, the potential they have to destroy your hearing is quite high.

I don't like things IN my ears either. It's pretty nasty when someone uses another person's ear bud too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Tires Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Go Grado! The SR60s rock. I sold off my first pair a while back, but I just bought another pair and it's on it's way to me now. The sound is great and they're very portable friendly. Soundwise at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Go with a well burnt EX71s, Kurisu. Save your money for that NH1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 ^ He'd have to let 'em burn in for a LONG time for them to sound as good as the pair of EX71s I've got, but you already knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I still can't get into earbuds though, the potential they have to destroy your hearing is quite high.←Erm, only if you're a moron and listen too loud. The potential for any headphone to destroy your hearing is quite high. IEMs don't do it any more than big studio or premium headsets. Yeah, the driver's way up in your ear, but it's also a lot smaller. Edit: if these have better highs than the E3cs, you can bet your ass I'll be buying me a pair.

yamagatacamille Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Edit: if these have better highs than the E3cs, you can bet your ass I'll be buying me a pairi'd assume it's the successor to the E3cs, so it should have better highs; just like the improvement from the EX70 to EX71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the lower-end that I find lacking on some music with the E3c+iPod Mini combo. And no I'm not a basshead Just certain types of music seem to be lacking...

Batman Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi guys,I'm pretty new in the change-earprones so, one of the things I see is the impedance, i.e. 16 Ohms. I've decided to buy myself a pair of Etymotic (ER-4P) but their impedance (nominal?!?) is 27 Ohms.Now, my question is:Since my units MD-R91 and MD-NH900 are both 16 Ohms, can I plug those earbuds in ore are there any problems due to the impedance difference?Thanks for your help.Regards,Batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Thanks man,I'll go with the thing as soon as I can get a shop here in Italy. I also think I could go to an american base (there's one close to where I live and I've some friens working there so they can sign me in...) and see if it's still convenient, considering shipping costs over the internet from the States to Italy...Cheers,Al.
