But now I wanted something really good treat me. A buddy (hi-fi purist investing several 10K in Soundalangen) raved about Shure, the reviews here did the rest.
I ordered the SE535 (not in China, but in a well-known dealer), and had the expectation that the Sound
similarly much better, as when upgrading the first bassless, terrible sounding Miniköpfhörer for S3-Ear.
After the first trial hearing I was however very disappointed and felt in the face of enthusiasms here pretty fucked before.
Time short summary:
+ Sound is super
+ Super bass
+ Shield is great (when fitted properly, then you can hear through the ear canal anything else)
+ Volume is great (rather than 80%, it is sufficient to provide the volume control on 50%, anything above that ensures speedy ringing in the ear)
-Einsetzen Goes quickly, but never as fast as "normal" in-ear with a little practice.
Why are the cable on headphones rotate? Before or after every 2nd onset you have to "cope rotate" the cable
Sound stage still only slightly better than the cheap ear-S3
-Tragekomfort Is under all (go at first, but after 2 hours do your ears hurt, no, was not due to the pass pitfalls)
-Price Is totally unacceptable (compared to slightly worse S3-Ear)
Now my reasoning
Of course, the sound is great, no question, but in my opinion it is only slightly better than the 15 S3InEar.
My light bulb moment was not how well the Shure sound, but how good the sound S3InEar 15 compared to 400 Shure.
Well ... actually it was rather depressing.
Here's some statements and my opinion:
>> Not enough bass BassDie of Shure I find very good and perfectly adequate. The only time where I needed something the bass has
(And where the S3InEar me has liked better) was at Clawfinger Catch Me. Otherwise, I also like to listen bass-heavy, but that was probably more
the poorer headphones. More Bass is the SE535 absolutely not necessary. You will never "feel" a bass with ear, no matter how you turn.
>> The headset probably was not sitting right [if the sound has not been praised to the skies] To say that many who do not find the great SE535, in German> to dämlichnach arrogance or hubris. If there is an air gap by being "out there", the SE535 sound instantly so thin that it is almost impossible,
noticing the NOT. Short time little more pressed his ear, you can hear immediately huge differences. You do not even spend hours
looking right ear earpieces. Either the seal, or not. Which are more a matter of wearing comfort, not the sound.
I mean, who is so intelligent, aufzukriegen a cough syrup with Parental Control, which can also use them correctly in ear.
>> The sound better as "big" headphones that sound much more kostenDie HD595 my opinion is not bad. Which are not quite as loud as the SE535, but poor ....?
Of course, the sense of hearing is different, the blare not stop directly into the ear canal, but the sound better in ear so ... I do not find.
The HD650 (to stay with Sennheiser times) "is" still sound better yes "a lot", and costs much less anyway. For at home I'll
my ear after experiencing never do (However, I have a quiet apartment).
For the SE535's gym would be great, but because it fails on comfort ....
>> You hear things you never heard hatAlso, either one has not been properly belongs, or one subject to something like the placebo effect. (Motto: expensive headphones should sound better ...)
I have dozens of songs from different directions belongs (320kbps), even times * .flac-Classical loaded onto the player, have dozens of times
switch between S3InEar and SE535. Of course, the SE535 sound better, but not so much better that I suddenly hear things that
I did not hear the S3InEar. Especially not so much better that I for hinnehme earache or 30 times the price.
Is generally such that, how to get the last few percent, the insert is disproportionate
(From 0 to 1% Lichtgeschwindikeit: feasible ... from 99% to 100%: difficult), but in my opinion Shure has here "a little" hinge reached too much.
The 400 I would even fit into the category of "lovers price".
If I ever want to stay in the percentages: When you classifies the Shure at 100%, then 95% would viell in S3InEar concede..
>> One can each instrument precisely ortenDa was probably back the advertising department write on, or you want to even sugarcoat the investment prior to ...
Stereo Stereo remains. The Shure replace any 5.1 or even 7.1 speaker arrangement. Otherwise you need not invent would ...
CONCLUSION:
I think so,
-I am as either fell for the advertising department
-or- reaches a few hi-fi purists who believe their own hype
-or to people who interpret into in the 400 part lot, because you might want to somehow justify the price
-or the S3 has an abysmal headphone output (but mobile I just want to carry around any Anlanger that I do not have anyway)
-or- I simply bad ear / no idea
I think this is similar to the other day as the Journal, the USB cable in sound (!!!) has rated. With technical babble,
0 grounds beautiful measurement protocols which speak also against 0 was (am an engineer, and I think that may very well judge).
The result was predictable: The winner is the 1000 USB cable.
It is certainly not quite so stark. Yes, the ear sound better, but it occurs to me only when I know a song very very good and often
heard or directly to another compare headphones. When I hear the S3 ear a long time (besides surfing, not concentrated in the wing chair)
and then the SE535, then for me the S3InEar not worse, just more convenient.
For my quiet home I will certainly do to me no more ear because I take still OverEar like the HD595, and for "outdoors" I stay with the
cheap S3 ear. They are, in comparison to Shure, surprisingly good, can be used much more quickly, do not hurt after hours and cost a
30th of (or nothing at all, because the phone with them)
PS: From the HD500 (85) to HD595 (110), the differences were (to my ears) huge, larger than of S3InEar (15) for SE535 (400).
Anyone who thinks that I am totally stupid (I guess, are here more than 50%), which may push the S3 or my ears, the other, the time,
"What good" want to treat yourself, you should consider the praises here critically, these things necessarily (!) Pre-listening times, and when, whether the fomented
Expectations are here, as disappointed as I think about whether that bit longer justifies the price of sound.
I have these things sent back and now the good feeling, 'mobile' nothing "miss" to the S3InEar. At home with the HD595 anyway.
