That's a classic dude, restore it and keep it in mint condition.

wj4 · 12-15-2008, 01:58 AM

I have some audiophile friends who are into the studio earmuff style earphones. I've heard good reviews about the Dr. Dre ones too. Personally I can't see myself spending over $100 for a headphone so I use the stock ones that come with an iPod when I'm studying and such. And when I go out for a run, I use a $30 Sony one that wraps around my head.

Sennheiser EH150... theyre not that bad

Year's_End · 12-15-2008, 04:24 AM

headphones aren't sexy fool

BMdblU · 12-15-2008, 10:30 AM

how do you like the shure se530?

SECRET M · 12-15-2008, 11:19 AM

i'd say they're a bit heavy on bass, but for universal fit earphone, they're quite comfortable. the noise isolation is pretty good as well. i'm a bit biased because of the ue-11s, but between the triple.fi's and the se530s, i'd choose the shures.

Kensta335 · 12-15-2008, 11:58 AM

Currently using UE Super.Fi 5 Pro. Looking to upgrade to UE Triple.Fi 10 Pro or the Westone 3's. Have you tried the Westone 3 yet?

Greeney · 12-15-2008, 11:59 AM

I use these when I fly! Magnesium headband, very light very comfortable.

I just bought the Shure SE 530 PTH and used them on my trip to Japan this last week. 12+ hours on the plane and they are flawless. My only complaint is because I have slightly oil skin, the flex sleeves easily slip out of my ear. I was forced to use the triple flange sleeves (which seal better anyways). I had the Etymotic ER6i before and the Shures blow them away. Even my kids (who know nothing about headphones, but have ipods) were amazed at the sound.
