I hate to sound like a right cnut but i couldnt even justify dishing out the 10 euro >_<
But I do understand why they're so popular.

I absolutly dispise them. They're píss poor quality, i've went through enough pairs when i was younger. They were "cool" when I had them.. Didnt know any better. Now I do and hate them with a passion. (also because i've alot better audio shizzz)

People like them because of how well they're presented and how mainstream they are, people see them everywhere and say oh well they're everywhere, must be good, and buy them. Their marketing team are pretty smart at how they go about it all, audio wise people love the "bass", because thats what most people want. Bass. Nothing but bass. Theres much better options but people refuse to research or even try find another option
*thats nothing against you*
I also hate them because my friends try to tell me they're better than what I have.. >_>
Between them and fecking beats. -_-

Which Shure ones have you got? What's the sound of the AKGs like? Was thinking them or a pair of Senns HD25s

These Shure's in black. My AKG's are really nice, not really designed for Ipod listening but excellent for studio monitoring anyway. Noise isolating too.

OT: This is going to sound really stupid but what does this ":3" smiley face mean? I've seen it a few times on teh interwebz but I've no idea what it means.

I got a few bottles of nail varnish from Essense today. They're so cheap! I love this colour.

Colm, interested in digital DJ'ing?

This has everything you need. Very expensive though but it has software and soundcard built in.

That would be my dream piece of kit and would do exactly what I need. But I'll never be able to afford it. I just want to buy something smaller right now so that I can learn to DJ with gear and then buy an outright beast of a kit like that when I'm good enough to be able to play venues and get the money back.
Hell, I don't even have a laptop yet :L

The SE110s.. I've had some experience with them, nice little yokes! Have their older brothers SE210s and SE215s. Fantastic IEMS imo.
Ohhh, that's a shame then

Would really love another fun headphone

You put on a few coats, it gets thick, it chips easily

Yea and its in a teeny bottle so like Im sure the thing is half gone after that one use... I put it on Sunday and its still okay, but ive a feeling if it were on my fingernails it would be kinda chipped by now coz its "soft"

I really can't stand that kind of snobbery....

They're not the most overwhelming sounding earphones ever, that much is true, but they're perfectly adequate, and most of all, they're fairly robust.

I bought a pair of seinheiser (Or how ever it's spelt) earphones for 30 or 40 quid once and they broke within two or three weeks and this is me putting them in their case when they weren't in use....

I've found a particular type of Skull Candy in ears that cost 25 quid, sound grand and last me easily a college semester....

(Bearing in mind I tend to download fairly high quality music off the tracker I use, not quite flac, but the high end of the mp3 spectrum, so I'll have relatively clean audio signal to begin with, and I listen to a good bit of fairly extreme metal so I need earphones with a fairly decent output....)

I've the same issue with Sennheisers, Got a pair that were £39.99 when released but were 1/2 price, The "gold plated" jack wore down and rendered them useless. Got some half price sonys from Argos at christmas, Still going strong!

I didnt mean to come across as a snob. I swear, I dont like them and have had seriously terrible experiences with them! I listen to FLAC and 320kbs MP3s and they just didnt do the job.
As for sennheiser, i dont much like their earphone line ethier, had the CX150 and they quality was píss poor.
I use Shure now, what they do for me no other brand has done in relation to IEMS.
In my defence each to thier own and I'm allowed my own opinion.
I've went on to say why I dont like them and it justifys or at least I believe so, what i said.
I listen to somewhat similar music and I dont like the SCs or the Senns for the job.
That's my taste, again if you thought it was snobbery I do apologise for this, at the same time I have my own opinion and so do you!

If you like bass and want a nice pair of headphones the Audio technica Ath-M50s would be right down your alley.

Aforementioned suitcase.

€24 in Penneys!! I absolutly love it!! Very Chanel-esque.

^ I have it in pink! Only it's like snake-skin.

QueenOfLeon · 15-06-2011 11:16PM

Is that suitcase proper sized for check in baggage or is it the size for carry on? I need to get a carry on bag that will not involve me stuffing magazines and clothes up my top the next time I fly because of over-packing...

Technically carry-on but mine wouldn't fit in the Aer Lingus box thing so I'm not sure how well it'd go with Ryan Air. The wheels and bottom of it wouldn't go in and I hadn't it even half full. I was very upset that morning boarding the plane so they didn't really say anything but the man checking was looking at it unapprovingly. But yeah it says carry-on on the pack.
