How does this compare to Shure's SE215 in terms of sound quality (bass, soundstage, mids and highs)?

I feel the VSonics are a superiror IEM in all areas specially base and soundstage.

The GR07s are far superior in every regard. The sound signature is more U-shaped, with more bass and treble. Mids are about the same, treble is more sparkly. Sound stage is larger. Clarity is much better all across the board.

GR10's get great reviews, but so should any IEM's over $400 like the Shure 535's. I chose the Shure because of the replaceable cables, which makes them virtually unique. All cables fail eventually, sooner or later, so only feature this protects your high investment in expensive hardware. See Dr Lister's review for all my other reasons as well. Good luck, hope this helps!

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

I use the Shure SE215CL buds. They're $99 and according to my friends, are just as good as the Shure's that cost hundreds more. I like them. They don't have enough cord to reach the ground, so I went to Radio Shack and bought a ten foot extension, that was about 10 bucks. I sit at a keyboard, so there is more than enough there for me.

The HS5s is the newest model which has some improvement such as being able to handle better bass. This source has more information about these improvements http://www.frontendaudio.com/Yamaha-HS5-Studio-Monitor-p/9025.htm. I still love my HS50s but if the H5s were out at the time I got them I would have went with that. Hope that helps your decision.

I've listened to music all day for an entire week without problems. The bass isn't nearly as heavy as some people make it out to be. In fact, I even prefer upping the bass with the bass boost option on the FiiO E10K Olympus 2. The treble isn't harsh either -- I found that upping the 8 KHz frequency by an amplitude of 2 is a good idea, while the rest is just fine.

I love my SE315-Ks! They have a really great dynamic range with a rich bass & clean clear highs. The sound isolating is equal to the custom in-ear molds that I have & I actually prefer the 315's over them.

The pros are noticeably tighter and have better bass and some argue the mids aren't as good as the M50s. M50s are better for long periods such as studio time but pros are better for shorter, due to the rather tight headband on the pros. I'd recommend the pros

Weak. You should Check the cheaper model (se 215). It Will be so more fun to ear to

I have had the E10 for over a year and have been satisfied. If you are looking for amps and DACs I'd suggest heading over Headroom (http://www.headphone.com/headphone-amps/) to sort out price and quality with audio enthusiasts. Lot of very good detail reviews.

The UE 900 will have a deeper extension in the bass, and there is much more clarity and sparkle in the highs. The 535s focus more on the midrange and lack in the treble extension, but have good bass extension just not as deep as the UE 900. IMO the UE. 900 is a better all around headphone, but watch the cables on the 900, there was been some quality control issues with cable connectors.

Yeah, I also checked the warranty info... as long as it isn't a used eBay item or something you are fine. But actually, the price is much lower on GoSale now. As of writing, you can get the Shure SE530 for $308.00 here:http://www.gosale.com/4932054/shure-se530-sound-isolating ... a very very good deal as I looked around a lot before purchasing.Cheers

best thing to do is compare the two of their specs...http://en-us.sennheiser.com/professional-gamer-headset-super-noise-cancellation-pc-350 and http://en-us.sennheiser.com/gaming-headset-pc-350-special-edition When I returned my 350 they sent the se back. biggest change is where the volume control is and type of cord ( braided vs non )

I cannot in truth say that they are the best because I have not compared them to other high-end IEMs. I previously used Shure SE530s with custom molds and since using the 846s (non-custom) I have experienced my music like never before. As others have written, the bass does not swamp the mids and highs which remain crystal clear. If you are not in a position to try other makes at a similar price point, you'll probably never know whether they are the best, but I'd be more than surprised if you were disappointed.

I own the HE-500 and the Lyr with the NOS Tungsram ECC85 tube upgrade and the bass is simply incredible, very deep and well controlled without stepping on the clear midrange or treble with great depth to the soundstage. I do not own the HiFiMan EF-5, so I can't compare them however, one of the reviewers on Amazon (Herbert York) who bought the HiFiMan EF-5 said in his comments that he also bought a Lyr to compare and kept the Lyr stating that there was no comparison between the two. Go to that page on Amazon and look for his name and then read the comments.

I'm not sure (no pun intended) what qualifies as "better", I believe they are pretty much the same (thinking of foam design and density). The real advantage is that the Shure tips are intended for Shure products, and I have had great luck with them. Fit, both in your ear and on the device is the key to great sound, at truth be told, these are the cheap part, but in short I think they are more the same than different. I hope that helps.

Yes.....the overall sound quality is better. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Love this thing and would recommend it to everyone.
