In-ear hedphone upgrade?

Wryel · 02-07-2007, 13:40

I've got some Senheisser PX100s at the minute and while they sound good the leakage isn't great for the tube. I thought about the Senheisser CX300s butI'm not sure how good they'll sound, I also saw some cool looking Bose ones but that means plenty of £££. Anyone got any recommendations?

BOSE stand for Buy Other Sound Equipment

Best for the money at the moment are on Amazon - Shure E3c's - £50

Superb earphones, superb quality and a superb price.

Not all BOSE kit qualifies for that abbreviation. The Wave Radio is incredible and that's the length of my experience with the manufacturer.

I've got a set of Shures (can't remember what model) and they're superb.

It's a general good assumption with BOSE though.

As for Shure earphones, the E2c's are entry level, and although are good, they do have some limitations.
E3c's - much better and a £50 are a frikken steal!
E4c's - slightly better than the 3c's, much more expensive.
E5c's - absolutely superb.... but massively expensive.

Most of Shure's range is getting updated soon I believe, so there could well be some big discounts on the sets soon. Looks like its started with the E3c's.

For some reason I seem to remember it was the 5s I bought, not sure what your definition of massively expensive is but I think I paid around £70-£80. They could have been 4s, but I really have no idea!

Thanks guys, that looks about my price range for the EC3s!

E5c's are around £230 now.
E4's are still around £160
