  1. I've just sent my second pair in for repair. The first ones lasted 6 months the second ones a year. :( At least after the first one they "upgraded" me from a S500 to SE 530 (I know they are the same drivers).

    We shall see how long it will take them to return them. I'm trying to decide if I will sell them afterwards but I think I will. I'm tired of them doing this and they don't sound as good as my new Ety ER4S (to me) anyway. ;D

    Yep, same thing happened to me, the first pair's cable broke after 8 months, sent them in. On 2nd pair one side sounded muffled after 1 year because a filter fell out somehow, sent them in again. Sold the third pair to a guy in the Netherlands, his wire broke and they were only weeks old, but Shure Europe replaced them. So I will be staying away from Shures for a while and I agree the ER4's sound better.

  2. Welcome back Dusty.

    This may be my next watch. It's Swiss made, auto with ceramic case:

    Looks great, but I am not sold on the ceramic cases, what if you drop it or smash it on a hard surface?

    I ordered this German watch on Monday while the euro is weak compared to the dollar, but now the dollar seems to be going back were it was before. Can't wait to receive it!

  3. I had a pair that the wire split after 9 months, Shure sent me a replacement pair. 10 months later that pair had a filter fall out somehow, Shure again sent me another pair. I sold them, because of little use, to some guy in the Netherlands. 2 weeks later he emailed asking if I had receipt because the sound was cutting out. To me it sounds like they have a batch problem because some beat them and they still work fine others like Humanflyz and I barely use them and they still break. I won't be buy Shures for a while.

  4. I only have two usb slots so usb dacamps are out of the question. and price range

    You could get a PCMCIA usb card and use a usb dac/amp. They have 2-4 usb slots. I have one and have my pico and mouse hooked up on it, on my laptops usb's I have my portable hard drive hooked up and it works great.

    About the Echo Indigo, I had the DJ version and both the headphone and linout is hiss free. Can't talk about how it sounded because I had a tomahawk and it was over a year ago.

  5. I've never had any fit issue with the standard tri-flanges, but it would be nice if the blue ones work as well (or better) and don't turn yellow.

    You can buy gray tri-flanges btw. They are just like the whites except color. The grays turn yellowish as well, but they do not look so damn ugly and yucky.

  6. That's pretty messed up. I hope you passed on that info to Jude and/or the mods before everything went down. Who was it?

    The guy is banned, this happened about 2 years ago. I believe it was Ultimate Ears who found out who it was and told Jude about it, I guess he was trying to buy stuff from them as well. I was just saving the pm's just in case Etymotic went after me.

  7. I haven't tried them, but thanks for posting this. They might work for me since I have small ear canals, I have to cut off the largest flange on the regular tri-flangles. The coolest part is that they wont turn yellow like the white flanges!
